They made a new system in which they put in currently active product kits of each modification. It is quite helpful. :)

Buy Smoky m3 or micro upgrade Shaft m3? Shaft is currently 15/50 and I love it more than any other turret but having different turrets to play with is more fun. I play large and medium maps.

Hard to say. If Shaft was your only M3 turret, I would buy Smoky. But since it's not, and if you really love Shaft, then MU Shaft. But you also might want to get another M3 paint, I think that would help.

Ok so here is the deal. I have m2 rail and all the m1 hulls. I was going to get an m2 hull at Christmas but the sales screwed me xD

 

I just ranked and am wondering if I should buy crys to get a kit. Am I about to be outgunned at this rank? My M2 is 10/50 MU. should I keep MUing that to get m3?

 

I only have about 30,000 Crystals at the moment so not near enough to get anything.

If you plan on buying crystals, definitely go for a kit, they are op. But you could always go for M2 Hornet, pairs up nicely with Rail M2

Two things kits do , that makes them a deal, if not, they are not a deal for you. 1) They get you weapons/hulls at an earlier rank, and/or 2) The discount usually amounts to getting a near "free" paint.  Often the "free" paint will not match the playing style required for the combo or your other combos. Don't buy a kit if you are only getting a deal on a paint that doesn't not work for you and the  weapons /hull w/o the paint is at or near the same price. Kits are often a way for Tanki to "sell" paints at some profit and have them seen on the battlefield.

soooo. I am wondering should I buy m2 thunder or m2 freeze?? I have m2 freeze and m2 hornet and i want a mid to long range weapon i just don't know what to buy. (also is m2 hammer worth it i have a personal discount on it for 87,000 cry)

[BlackWasp777 4,498]

Your rank is way to high, to think about freeze M2. It will become soon obsolete.

Fire M2 is way stronger then Freeze M2.

[metagross101 1]

lol whoops i meant to type m2 rail XD

[metagross101 1]

but which should i get m2 rail or m2 thunder

[BlackWasp777 4,498]

I am very happy Rail.. but I guess a user that has both should answer that. I don't use thunder at all.

 

I can just tell you, that rail opens you the way for XP battles (whole new experience) - but only if you have some 20% rail paint for your hornet M2, like fracture). You can seach youtube for "tanki XP" or "tanki BP" for some ideas, what you can expect there.

how about this

 

-buy tornado

-get rico m2 by capt

-get viking m2 and smoky m2 by colonel

 

and for @LordZenith

-scrap XP/BP plans

-buy cyclops kit or stinger kit soon

-buy fire m2 by major

For zenith101 ya, tornado is good, but I find rail and hornet vs other m2s not that op.

I only like rail for XP/BP, otherwise I like other weapons. Also I love drug wars, so Viking>hornet.

I say just get Rico smoky and vik m2 then go for m3.

good plan. Im skipping to m3 isida

[Mistalee 1,337]

M1 twins>smoky m1

Although I generally like smoky more,

Get twins m1 it will last long into higher ranks.

Thanks for suggesting, Then i'll save for "M1 Twins"  ;)

Hmmm...... Long term planning here. I am trying to keep an even spread of equipment with kits and not overlapping anything so this is what I am thinking of a line up right now:

 

Jackhammer

Legend

Guardian

Prometheus

 

In other words, Hammer, Railgun, Smoky, Firebird (covers short, medium, and long ranges), Hornet, Hunter, Viking, Titan (light medium, and heavy), Tiger, Prodigi, Nano, and finally Zeus (short, medium, and long range). I also think that these choices are powerful ones (namely Smoky, Firebird, Viking, and Zeus). Should I look into different combos or stick with these?

 

P.S. I am not planning on buying anything individually until I get my M3 kits.

I'm trying to figure out the best 3 strategy for myself. I have thunder already and its a beast (for my rank) but having more turrets and hulls make playing more fun. (also kinda want to start some XP/BP) Heres my options:

 

1) rank and buy isida next sale and hornet when I have the rank and a sale

2) buy "Cyclops kit" m3 shaft/m3 hornet/mars

3) buy "boreas kit" m3 wasp/freeze/taiga --this requires a lot of ranking and I'm a little skeptical about freeze

4)buy "refrigerator kit" m3viking/freeze/hive

5) something else?

 

- don't want jackhammer (tried it on test and I was awful with it), medic's paint is too similar to emerald, I'm skeptical about freeze, I've heard many mixed things about its usefulness, shaft can be boring, isida seems pretty good, thats it for kits and covers the early m3s as well. Any thing after that is out of my sight (I'm too far away from the rank to worry about them).

Get Isida m3 Viking m3 en save for rock or inferno or taiga... Edited January 28, 2016 by TG159

Legend Kit?

Im now a generalissimo... :unsure:

 

How rare are xt missions?

[GeneralNemesis 497]

man yeah IKR smoky m2 is OP

but 186k will be quite hard to earn, without counting battle money earned, I will have only 130k when I reach capt. so I need to get 56k ( :o) till capt. for atlas and if I get it late, like by lieutenant colonel it won't be effective as it is at capt.

actually from what i have experienced u are dead wrong. at 2nd leutinent rank i had 150k crys and by playing in poly cp normally i had gathered 268k by captian rank(and that with only viking m1 rico m1 and fire m1).maybe u have calculated wrong somewhere

Stinger or Firewall for WO5 acct (96K cry). Firewall is still a while away crystal wise, but Stinger is close

[Lead_Oxide 9]

Northerner or Minotaur kit? I know.. I don't have the rank, but not going to take long and I will, I already got 60K crystals saved up so i should have enough by then....

I say just get Rico smoky and vik m2 then go for m3.

so I should scrap tornado and go for atlas as I was before?

Minotaur. Twins M2 is about equal to Smoky M2, but Rhino > Winter imo (Shaft protection isn't really a necessity unless you play lots of Monte Carlo or somethin

Minotaur more OP, and requires less of an effort. 

 

Stinger or Firewall for WO5 acct (96K cry). Firewall is still a while away crystal wise, but Stinger is close

Firewall better suited for Polygon CP, which you play the most. Also, you can skip Isida M2, and head for M3 instead.
