What to buy? Which is better?

[inthehouse81 34]

Ok do not get Rhino, go for another paint (Loam or Urban maybe). Rhino is no good, you won't really see any Vulcan M2s (its strength dies out after Brigadier). And I don't suggest you using Smoky M2 against Field Marshals, either. You're better off playing in battles close to your rank.

but i thought smoky m2 is literally an m3 .... the stats are pretty much the same-ish. oh yeah and is smoky m2 OP when i get it ?

[inthehouse81 34]

Don't get rhino, it's only a good buy when purchased with minotaur, or for the looks.

 

 

As much as i would like to advertise rhino, it's not a paint for someone whose best paint is jaguar.

Rhino is a filler to a good paint collection, something you pull out when your enemy sports a massive vulcan defence or hammer attack.

Not something to use as your main protection.

Don't buy a new paint before bridgalier, allthough rhino is occasionally useful at high ranks, a paint like mars, emerald, savanna, inferno, tiger or taiga will cover alot more ground and do the job even on generalissimo.(unless you play 3v3s, where you win by outpainting is that even a word?LOL)

Africa is too far away, don't leave important purchases like a proper paint to generalissimo.

 

 

Get a decent paint and atleast one m4 before Gen, othervise playing against generalissimos will be painful, they tend to have good paints and m4s and are not afraid to drug... or just go xp if you are in to that.

Why not buy a kit? A cheap way to get good gear before others, and you don't need sales to get 1.

Maybe paladin or guardian you will want to have m3 hull before reaching field-marshal, unless you drug a few ranks or play with a well upgraded m2 hull. I don't encourage MUing m2s alot.

Aline your plan with sale dates, so you won't be left with too little money on sales, or too much time before them. :)

ok thx bro ill get paladin or guardian, but wont my m2 isida be weak at the rank and aren't the kits a bit expensive ?? :unsure:  :wacko:  :blink:

Btw nice redneck kit, brilliant D/L (im trying to get mine's over 1 by getting double kills with thunder m1 on double damage :/  ), do u have an m4 ?

Ok so I have a situation, my main gun is thunder m3 (17/50) and I can get it up to 38/50 during micro upgrade sales or even further if I put in some work. I'm also looking long term to get paladin kit and hornet m3. Getting thunder close to m4 at my rank would be insanely powerful, but I would lose all of my crystals. I also may not be able to get paladin kit if I do this. What is your advise on what to do + how powerful is thunder at around 40/50 micro upgrades? thanks in advance for responses. 

You don't have to worry about MUs yet, if you don't want to. I haven't got a gun or a hull upgraded over 1/5 way, and i still slaughter pretty well at my rank. (allthought im MUing alot this sale)

From my view it looks like you have already kinda specialised as a supporter on midrange, i think you should continue on that pattern.

 

Here is what kind of plan i would make, if i was you.

- Buy a kit asap, jackhammer would be ideal, as it would compliment the medium roles you seem to play.

Paladin isn't bad, but you would need to wait ranks for it. Adding to that i think hammer would open up more possibilities than smoky, which is similar to your thunder in terms of roles on field. I also think tiger is more of a long term investment than inferno.

- After that go for m4 thunder and viking at the first sale possible.(and MU hammer a bit)

- Now you would have a strong foothold on a variety of battles, with viking/ thunder as a medium support combo and good attacker combo with hammer/viking. This setup would be ideal for supporting/offending. You would also have a good variety of paints for many battles.

Then i would start buying stuff like a vulcan paint, proper shortrange paint, m3 smoky and hornet for the variety.

This is only my opinion tho, and you might have different preferances. You have many good options to choose from, just make sure you wont do anything you will regret :)

MU thunder. Get a combo M4 and then get a better m3 kit :)

M3 thunder is weak

'M4'thunder is strong.

Nah :/ no m4s yet i'll MU hunter m4- on sale tho.

Yeah... izi m2 will get weak soon, but m2 smoky isn't the way to improve is a dead proof.

Neither is rhino, adding to that you would need to wait for sales to buy them for a good deal.

I wouldn't like to put you through the misery that m2 isidaing until lieutnant general would be, but to give good advice on what you should buy to manage those ranks, i would need to know your current bank... so tell me maybe :wacko:

 

The improvement needs to be on on a price range that allows you to get the kits later, alternatively you can buy some other kit like medic, raiden or centaur, that unlocks early. You seemed to been keen on smoky, so this might not be the way for you.

The cituation isn't that great, since a good deal on something other than kits requaires sale or a completely random personal discount.

If however you manage to wait for sale, before you reach bridgalier, where your isida is almost dead, you shold concider isida m3  that will keep you on your feet before you reach a smoky kit...

 

This suggestion is speculation, i don't know your bank, or how fast you are ranking. I'll make a more indepth reply after you tell me, you can PM, if you don't want your crystal count public, or just want to have a longer discussion :)

I personally made my way to guardian using twins/viking/mars m2 and playing xp, but those are not options for you.

[Zanlasha_G 119]

I prefer Hunter and Dictator over Viking, so is it necessary to buy the Medic kit? Or should I just buy M3 Isida at Brigadier and then save up for a kit like Prometheus, Redneck, or Cardinal? I only want Isida not necessarily just as a turret, but it really helps the outcome in team battles.

 

Also, which kit is the BEST DEAL (for using the most):

 

1. Redneck (I use Ricochet about 3/4 the time for every time I play and it's OP at M3)

    2. Prometheus (Firebird is my GO-TO short range turret because it leaves impeccable damage behind, even burning through multiple tanks close by)

        3. Cardinal (I haven't used Twins for awhile, but I remember playing on my main account at Generalissimo that it was very powerful especially with Viking as it was the only hull I had to mount it on adequately. But I never got the chance to save up for a heavy hull that had good power especially in CP mode. So Titan, Twins, and Picasso sounds like a kit that has the right amount of versatility in its items, BUT that battles with my thoughts on Rico M3 as that is what I love to use primarily).

 

What do you guys think?

I would suggest buying Twins m4, because lots of players got thunder protection paint at that rank ( Ex: Emrald )

[Prince.Of.Life 85]

I am in the ranks of m3s and have almost ranked to 2 stars about 17k left. Right now i have m2 smoky, m2 viking and m2 thunder and about 70k cry. I am not sure which m3s i should plan to buy. The earlier m3s an mu or the later m3s. Also i really want rail m3. 

 

one last question which m3s are strongest at higher ranks.

 

also should i get wasp m2 or hornet m3.

If you like playing with M2 Smoky, just keep playing with it and skip all the early M3 's.

You can do a bit of micro-upgrading, but DD 's are probably a better investment imo.

 

Personally I prefer Hornet above Wasp when playing with Smoky.

Having more stability is great and the centralized turret is another benefit when playing with Smoky.

You trade in some speed, but Smoky is a very capable turret and doesn 't need the highest speed

to perform well. The added armour is a nice bonus.

If you have Hornet M3 you can start micro-upgrading it right away and play XP as well.

 

Rail is great with Wasp though in XP/BP, I think often better than XP.

If you would only use Wasp M3 for BP than you don 't need any micro-uprades which saves some crystals.

Maybe that way you can even afford both when you become General.

 

Strongest M3 turrets with light hulls in regular battles (biased): Smoky M3, Ricochet M3 and Firebird M3.

Hammer M3 isn 't bad either.

(the OP Vulcan M3 is definitely strong, but it 's not a light hull turret)

 

Hope it helps.

[inthehouse81 34]

ok which get should I get. Thanks to the courtesy of stawp_thundertime now I know I can afford either one of these kits:

 

Raiden 

 

or

 

Medic

 

I have experience in Thunder and Isida, both mounted on Viking.

When I have drugs, I become Sir.Drug.A.Lot. I drug a fair amount when the outcome is not obvious. When I know that my team is going to win I don't drug as much. I normally play in Noise CTF. Medic is slightly cheaper but it might be Mediocre. Also I get more drugs with the Raiden kit.

 

So which one is better for me ?

I say get Raiden then start MUing it .then save for isida and/ or guardian kit

[BlackWasp777 4,498]

@Zenlasha_G:

• Redneck
  performs very well on almost every map. Rico is versatile - if ou take your time to master it truely (!)
• Prometheus
  is awesome, but if you have an M2 fire already, you can stack it back in time. There are so many fire paints out there...
• Cardinal
  overrules both of them, if you virtually life in Polygon CP or love tiny maps (Island, PingPong, Arena, ..). Else.. the Redneck is more versatile
