What to buy? Which is better?

[name-lost 184]

Gud, just storm is like most OP paint. So if u have 9k to spare...

Nah I got swash it got 15% against fire so no need of storm

[fordmustang12345 3,910]

Hehehe i am not a $20 crystals buyer like you

I'm only buying like twice

[fordmustang12345 3,910]

Hehehe i am not a $20 crystals buyer like you

I'm only buying like twice maye once more so I can get firewall)

[HaloScorpionV2 438]

MUs, what other M3s do you want? You're pretty stacked

 

 

Btw I see u got XP M3, come play Poly CP w/ me : D

 

 

~ FC

Well Wasp is one, Hammer is another, Rico is a third...

 

Poly CP XP/BP? It's a bunch of noobs flopping into the point and running around in circles! xD (No offense to you ofc).

 

I play more "eSports" maps like Sandbox and Zone, usually 1v1 to 3v3, since 4v4 and above gets too silly ;P

[fordmustang12345 3,910]

I just bought wasp m1 and storm (where these good purchases?)

[TG159 734]

Nope.

[name-lost 184]

On my @I.Need.Only.Win account I bought striker kit and I am gonna use it all the way to WO5 and then will buy boar kit.

Any suggestions on this?

.

[fordmustang12345 3,910]

Nope.

:mellow: well I've heard that storm lasts until about captain or after and wasp will last pretty long

[BlackWasp777 4,498]

I'm so tempted to buy railgun m1 but I'm saving for tornado (Ihave 90k right now) and if Ibuy 20 bucks worth of crystals with a dcc Iwill have enought for tornado and fracture . Decisions decisions

 

But wo5 seems so far away

WO5 is 50k exp.points away, this are roughly 50 hour of gameplay

[BlackWasp777 4,498]

ok so i have 1500 and more crystals dont remember exactly so will i be able to get XP M2 with fracture before ranking up to major??

 

why not anyone halp meh :(

missed your question..

 

calculations, calculations...

 

 

You have 155k exp. now and need 390k exp. for Major (http://en.tankiwiki.com/Ranks)

So you have 235k exp to go.

 

Your last weeks earnings have been 5700 cr, and you gained 8400 exp points.

This is a cr/exp ratio of 5700/8400 = 0,678 cr/exp.

This ratio raises while you go through the ranks, so lets estimate you will make an average of 0,75 cr/exp on your way to Major.

 

So how much will you maybe earn?

235 x 0,75 = 176k crystals (if you spend nothing, if you have the same winning rate as now).

 

Tornado will cost you 147660 crystals - works out.

 

 

 

- so yeah, you should be fine before Major.

You should ahve enough by reaching 370.000 exp.points (short before major)

 

By this time Rail M2 and Hornet M2 are common enemies of yours.

As you favorr railgun, you might should buy an M1 Rail as soon as you can afford it, in order to perform better on the battlefielnd.

M0 is crap in your ranks.

 

You also have Fire M1.. but you don't seem to like it that much.

 

Hope this answers your question.

My plan because I make twice as much crystals as exp.

1. Boar kit (RicoM2+DictatorM2+Sandstone)

2. Vietvus kit (VulcanM2+VikingM2+Blacksmith)

3. Atlas kit (SmokyM2+TitanM2+Loam)

 

This is achievable, should I change anything though?

[TG159 734]

very much but i wont buy anything till i can get XP M2 or tornado and can u suggest anything for my alt (its name is Generalgissmo)

Lol, I thought u were some nub lier pretending to have a gissimo acc and not even knowing how to spell generalissimo.

XD lol!

[Efxzz 30]

I think you shouldn't buy Isida M2 even though you earn moderately well. Its not worth buying separately ahead of the kit.

Like I said, don't go for Minotaur and now not Atlas because you said you don't like Smoky. You don't want format battles yet either so we are left with Firewall.

And, I have 163k cry.. 20k from rankups + 3k in b/w = ATLAS!!

I wasn't like I don't like smoky..I just don't have m1 smoky or m1 twins..so I am not using any...I have good opinion on both and fire too...lol.can u advise me how to earn more crystals..? Edited February 29, 2016 by Efxzz

Just get Firewall then. :P

 

How to earn more crystals?

• Play on high-fund battles - Polygon, Noise, Arena
• Play Firebird-Wasp battles on maps like Island or Ping Pong
• Try to win newspaper contests; with optimum efforts it is possible; there is almost a ~150k prize-pool every fortnight.
• Try for gold boxes in maps where drugging is less common and getting it is more probable - like Sandbox, Rio, Kungur, Island, Serpuhov
• Never ever leave battles as soon as you start to lose - you can clinch victory by coming from behind, only quit if the battles are low-fund ones or it is impossible to turn them over

Ok, so I have an alt. Im assuming with the new kits in a couple days there will be the firefly kit. I kinda want to get this kit to have  huge advantage over my opponents for several ranks. The only problem is I'm free-to-play, and I know I can't afford it when It first is available to me. (Yes I play with the firebird-wasp combo at M0 often). I was thinking about spending money with a double crystal card, and getting enough to buy the kit. But I love the hammer, and I can't get it free-to-play. So If I do spend money I would also love to get a kit with the hammer. Which one should I go for?

[BlackWasp777 4,498]

 yes, give your alt a brake.

Play your main, as your rank is not very high at the moment, and - don't get me wrong - your skill might be as well.

If you would go on with your main, develop your skills, learn a lot and know the best handling of your weaponary, THEN go to your alt.

Then you can rule the battlefield without drugs, the other newbies can learn by watching you, you earn a loooot more then if you would play it now... and so get a real decent alt.

So I think you would use your time best, if you give the alt a brake

(cool name by the way, like it :) :))

 

My plan because I make twice as much crystals as exp.

1. Boar kit (RicoM2+DictatorM2+Sandstone)

2. Vietvus kit (VulcanM2+VikingM2+Blacksmith)

3. Atlas kit (SmokyM2+TitanM2+Loam)

 

This is achievable, should I change anything though?

 

Even if you earn 3x crystals for each XP, I don't recommend to get so many M2 things. Best if you can live with a single M2 kit and save the crystals for M3.

Because later, M3 is all that counts. You will have a bad time, if your garage is full of M2s and you have to fight M3s.. therefore not earning much .. and you have spent soo much on your M2s already.

So choose one kit.. the M2 ranks end faster then you think.

If you dont believe me, take a calculator and start the maths.

 

Boar or Atlas should do you good.. while Boar unlocks earlier and is more agile.

 

 

How to earn more crystals?

• Play on high-fund battles - Polygon, Noise, Arena
• Play Firebird-Wasp battles on maps like Island or Ping Pong

Zenith writes good methods to earn; and I want to add something to those two points of his post:

There are two ratios important in Tanki:

 

(1) crystals earned per time (crystals per hour)

The high fund battles and FireWasp optimizes the crystals-per-time, so you earn crystals fast. Downside: you also RANK UP fast, so in fact if you reach rank X you end up with the same amount of crystals as the average tanker at rank X. You saved time... but you can not afford more or less Firepower (!) then most others.

This behaviour is very usefull if you save up for a sale or something.. so you have only limited amount of time and need those crystals

 

(2) crystals earned per experience (crystals earned per 1000 xp gained)

This is the one, every tanker should be after (imho). Earning more crystals-per-experience then the average tanker, moves you into the position to become "weathly" in tanki terms. And this again enables you to purchase kits as they unlock - and not much later. So this gives you even more firepower, enabling you to earn even more.

 

This is mainly done by 3 strategies:

• win battles - or join the winning side. Winners get so much more of the share.. It is more important to be in the winning team, then to have a good score in the team. If you play DM, take a look which positions "pay off" and which don't.

  So spend time to select your battles wise, check the ranks, check the points, check for druggers in the enemy team. Joining a DM late is maybe one of the worst things you can do..

• Loose clever: if you loose and the battle ends in 3 mintues: stay. Else you have earned experience, but did not receive _any_ fund. Go on pause, if they overdrug or spawnkill you. If you can work on reducing the distance in flags or points, do so.. every flag brings you more crystals in your teams fund share.
• earn goldboxes (if you are talented, I am not...)

 

Ok, so I have an alt. Im assuming with the new kits in a couple days there will be the firefly kit. I kinda want to get this kit to have huge advantage over my opponents for several ranks. The only problem is I'm free-to-play, and I know I can't afford it when It first is available to me. (Yes I play with the firebird-wasp combo at M0 often).

So If I do spend money I would also love to get a kit with the hammer. Which one should I go for?

Firefly is an awesome kit. I cant judge the hammer kit.. but if you are good, really good with it.. you can try to use it.

Else take firefly, it is a cash cow.

I can't afford anything, but what turret and hulls is best for going on the offense and steamrolling everyone?

[BlackWasp777 4,498]

You will get a lot of different answers on this one :P :P :P

 

My answer is

1) Fire, Twins, Rico, Smoky + Viking/Hunter

2) Hammer, Isida, Thunder, Freeze + Viking/Hunter

3) Rail Wasp/Hornet (I play my rail offensively, but there is no "steamrolling" by using it... it is more a highly tactical gameplay)

Edited February 29, 2016 by BlackWasp777

[bossman161 276]

Should I save for Shaft or Hornet M3?

[fordmustang12345 3,910]

Twins+viking

Firebird+viking

Thunder+mammoth (the popular polygon cp drug combo is good for offence in most maps)

Twins+titan (another poly cp drug combo that's good for practically everything)

Firebird+hornet/wasp

Vandal Vs.Eyfhuapeitjapeoit kit?

Which one is better for polygon?

Raiden or Medic?

1 on 1 Eyjaf wins always without considering paints because twins can't take cover while firing like railgun. Also eyjaf better in my opinion. Mammoth <3

eyjafjallajokull kitnos a true masterpiece in my opinion and better than all m3 kits
