What to buy? Which is better?

Recommended Posts

Once I rank I will get Mammoth M3 Vulcan M3 Africa kit.

Should I save for Prometheus afterwards? If I play less I can get (before gissimo).

Or should I get another turret and Viking seperate, and Zeus as soon as gissimo.

If you can get Prometheus and Eyja all before Commander, that is great. But idk if that's very realistic, unless you buy lots of crystals. Realistically though, after you get Eyja, go for Viking, another turret, then Zeus

Also I really love Ricochet? Would it be bad if I got it and then MUed it?

Rico M2? Even if you “really love Ricochet” you might get bored of it after a while. And MUs on anything that isn’t M3 isn’t really good, unless you buy crystals.

 

Plus if you have 2 close-combat weapons isnt that not good because its not diverse?

Yes it’s true, e.g. having Freeze and Fire will be useless against a tank with Inferno. But for this alt, I am only planning on getting short range turrets. I’m not going to go down the same road I did with my main – so no Thunder, Twins, or Smoky with Titan. I may get Hammer M3 later on, which I can switch off with Isida/Fire.

 

This is my new plan (I'm going to tell you mine because you told me yours):

 

Get Serbain kit at WO 4

 

Get Jaguar paint (Because Freeze M2 is very common at the Lieutenant ranks)

 

Save for M2 Hornet (To go with offense Freezing)

 

Get M2 Hornet at Second Lieutenant

 

Get Rico M2 at First Lieutenant

 

Get Viking M2 and Rustle paint (Because Thunder is hard for Rico's to fight well) at Lieutenant Colonel

 

Then MU my stuff all the way till Brigadier

I’m not sure about how many crystals you have currently. Your plan is very nice, very realistic too. But scrap Jaguar paint, stick with Storm. Fire protection will serve you a lot better, for now. All your other plans are good, but I don’t recommend MUing anything until it is M3. My question to you – what are your M3 plans? Or, do you plan on getting any strong M2s (Fire, Twins, Smoky) to last you into the early M3 ranks? Rico M2’s strength will die out rather quickly once you hit around Major General.

 

 

Is that okay or should I just do what you did. (But not get M2 Dictator)

Keep in mind that for my alt, I obtained Siberian at WO2 and started saving straight away for Firewall. I’m not sure if you’ll be able to go down the same road as I did; I think you might, but you may be obtaining kits a bit after the rank they unlock.

 

What do you plan on getting in the future?

Medic at Brigadier, Prometheus at Marshal. I don’t even know if I’ll be able to get my alt that high :P I’m not planning on playing Tanki X and probably won’t touch TO after I start college in the fall. But knowing myself, I’ll prob come back to Tanki one day, and if you intend on playing Tanki X, maybe you’ll be the one helping me decide what to buy :3 :D

 

Should I also get Bulldozer at Lieutenant Colonel? Then MU M3 Thunder too. Hmmmmmmm....... then I can't get and full M3 kits at Brigadier. I don't know, what do you think?

I’ve talked a lot about Bulldozer in this thread, because the Bulldozer combo was my tank from Brigadier to General. Thunder M3 without MU is pretty weak. At Lieutenant Colonel it is OP/strong, but if you intend on using it a lot after Lieutenant General, you’ll need a considerable amount of MUs on it. But I think the Viking M3 kits, such as Jackhammer and Medic, are better than Bulldozer, cause 1) you get M3/M3 and 2) Mammy M2 is horribly slow. I would just go with one of the M3/M3 kits. Although Bulldozer isn’t bad, and Emerald is amazing for Poly CP. But still, I recommend the Vik M3 kits. Or maybe I only say that cause I’ve used Thunder M3/Mammy M2 for WAY TOO LONG and I try not to talk about it (jk) :P

How effective is Urban with Twins M2/Titan M2 combo at Poly CP? Or save for a better paint? I plan to use this all the way (along with Fire M2) to General (I plan to Get Guardian kit maybe in the long run.)

 

(I also plan to get Twins M3, and perhaps Isida M3/Viking M3 kit in a sale next year. Or Redneck. But that's a long time.)

Let me just say this: If you play Poly CP, DO NOT GET GUARDIAN. Go for Cardinal instead.

 

Anyways, Urban is basically a dumbed down version of Rock. Not saying it’s bad or anything, but I think you should just save for Emerald - AMAZING for Poly CP. Thunder and Twins protection is great, and 10% Rail will (believe me) save your ass in the strangest situations.

Skip Thunder-M2. You can get Thunder-M3 2 ranks later with the Bulldozer Kit.

The remaining turret selection depends which map(s)/mode(s) you play most often.

Map- Noise,polygon,Kunger.

Mode- Polygon-CP,CTF,DM,TDM

Noise-CTF

Kunger-Cp,CTF

 

 

Guys I am having 45k in this acc and am about to rank then i'll have 57k + some april fools Goldboxes,

So Should I start a new account? or play in this one? I already have an acc at Corparal with 5.5k crys

 

Ps:

 

Should I buy Firebird m2 or Railgun m2 or Ricochet m2 or Thunder m2?

 

I have: Freeze m2,Isida m2,Hornet m2,Dict m2

 

Don't worry about having already 2 Close range m2s.

 

Please advice me as which will last till m3s as after I buy this as I will buy nothing other than viking m2 maybe.Then I'll move to m3's.

But Cardinal paint sucks compared to Guardian. (At least on Poly CP):P

 

Okay, I will save for Emerald instead (And maybe MU 5 to 6 times?)

 

For me it's either: Cardinal + Smoky M3 or Guardian + Twins M3.

 

The reason why I suggested Urban was because Twins M2 is getting more common than ever.

Yes, Guardian's paint is better than Cardinal's. Picasso is more of a long range paint, usually for Thunder users who play in large maps (Prodigi also suits these types of players).

 

If you really want Smoky M3, go for Guardian + Twins M3. This is what I did, although I hated Smoky and I still do.

1) no do not start another account unless you basically nolife tanki

2) as for getting another turret if you plan on getting into XP/BP get Railgun m2 otherwise definitely get firebird m2 cause neither Rico or Thinder m2 will last you as long as Firebird M2 for normal battles plus Firebird m2 + Dictator M2 is and amazing gold hunter Combo

Go For Boar kit ... Its nice .. If you buy it at WO5 .. your only competitors will be other kit buyers 

 

If you use it correctly in maps like noise , you are a killer machine ..

 

I've experienced myself and seen others using it effectively too (Even today !) .

Rank up once more and you can get the Fujiyama Kit (Vulcan-M1/Hunter-M1) since I see you like using Vulcan a lot.

 

Judging from your top 3 turrets and hulls you could get A) Predator Kir (Thunder M1 + Hunter M1 + Jaguar ) for 50.000 crystals or C) Fujiyama Kit (Vulcan M1 + Hunter M1 + Paint ) for 54.000 crystals (the other 4k should be easy to earn between rank up bonus and battle funds) at Major Sergeant or if you are open to new equipment D) Fighter Kit (Twins M1 + Hornet M1 + Desert paint) for 44.000 crystals at Major sergeant

Thanks guys for the suggestion, im also thinking for the long run, save alot right now and then buy m2 kits at wo4 and w05 either stinger or tornado?

What do you guys think?

Your're not alone in hating Smoky. Me 2 :P It's quite annoying with DD. Crits can be quite random.  However, I just like it as a backup turret because anti twins paints are getting common. Without DD, Smoky M2 is so-so.

   Speaking through my perspective smoky m2 and above are really good, but it all depends on skill and play style. Light hulls + Smoky are really just annoying (gotta admit I use smoky wasp once in a while :p) but amazing attackers. Smoky + medium hulls are effective wherever they are. Smoky + heavy hulls are effective in DMs and for camping the base in CTFs. 

   Additionally, its not amazing at anything specific. Its for indecisive ppl (like me) who like trolling and want a turret that can do anything. Precisely speaking, as you said, its a back-up turret to those who want a turret that is versatile or just like smoky's gameplay. Or like mine (once I get Atlas in 2 weeks), their main turret so that they can deal with any1 approaching them.

   Smoky is literally the most annoying turret when some1 has DD with it, which is why I love it. :p Don't take this as a rant lol. Just expressing my opinion to the very commonly spoken words at my rank - "noob turret" . :angry:
