Recommended Posts

Prometheus or Eflajyakull.. ??

 

maps:- Polygon,Noise,Kungur,Tribute,Island,Hill

Promethus is also great in these maps Noise and Kungur  and tribute also a bit good but in my opinion Eflajyakull something? is better but in polygon Zeus is a great paint but depending on the maps you play i say Eflajyakull something?

Im looking to MU 3 turrets; short, mid and long range, that have a hard time for players to defend against at least 2 of them with one paint.

 

For mid, ive started my smoky. I need to decide a short and long turret.

 

Long: rail vs shaft vs vulcan

Rail is the most versatile, but i play xp enough, and i'll easily get bored if i play with it often.

 

Shaft is very fun. Takes skill to use and counter the negatives.

 

Vulcan is op. However you need to use a fire paint, and its not a smart idea to use zeus in a large map.


Short: isida vs fire vs freeze vs twins

Isida is op. It doesnt fit my style, and its not stimulating in any way.

 

Fire is op too, but again, its boring.

 

Freeze is a little different. You need to circle around players, and freeze key targets to defend or attack well.

 

Twins is good, but also boring.


WHICH LONG AND SHORT TURRET SHOULD I GET

MU Smoky and Twins. Few paints protect against both. Yes, Twins is boring but it's OP

 

What kit would be better for me Medic kit or Paladin kit I usually play on Polygon cp's and Rio ctf"s so if I buy one of those which will be better for my gameplay?

Smoky is horrible in Poly CP. Maybe at M4, it is usable, but stock M3 is not as good as Thunder/Twins in Poly CP. In Rio CTF Paladin is fantastic, but for both Poly CP and Rio CTF, Medic is better.

 

Should I get m1 viking or something else for a hull?

Viking is rather cheap but is it good enough until a m2 kit?

Also I think this is the 30000 post for the topic if the green number to the right of the username of the tank of the post is the post count for the topic.

Thank you.

M1 Vik will be good enough until you unlock a M2 kit. It lasts quite a while from WO1

 

Should I go for Legend for XP/BP first  or should I go for a Poly CP Kit (Medic or Jackhammer)?

 

 

Note: My preference is to get Legend, but I want to make sure I can survive in Poly CP until Marshal with Rico M2.5/ Titan m2..

Don't "waste" your time by playing XP/BP at your rank. What I means is this - at Gismo level, you can play as much XP as you want. But if you want to play in normal battles, you will run into M4 druggers (in other words, well established gismos who have multiple M4 items and tons of supplies). But in battles Commander and under, the amount of M4s is obviously lower. So enjoy your time as a non-gismo and play in normal battles. Go for Medic/Jackhammer, then get XP M3 later on.

 

Which one to buy?

 

I have 320k right now, and iam going at a rate of almost 100k a week...I think I will be able to buy one of all the kits available after lieutenant general.

 

I want a medium hull currently as I have been playing a lot of Polygon CP recently...Prometheus kit or Vandal Kit is what I'am hoping to get,but I also want Vulcan M3.

 

The current questions in my mind are:

 

1. Eyjafjallajokull kit: Good in polygon CP?

2. Which one would YOU prefer Twins M3 or Firebird M3?

3. Again Mammoth M3 or Hunter M3?

4. I want to buy Railgun M3 during Mayday, should I ditch it and get Twins M3/Firebird M3 along with Eyjafjallajokull Kit?

5. Mammoth M3 better than Viking M3 is Polygon CP, without any Isida to help?

6. Finally, which of the above mentioned Kits is THE BEST for drugging?

These are all my opinions but here it goes

  • Eyjafjallajokull kit: Good in polygon CP? - Not too sure about this. Based off of my observation, Vulcan seems to be pretty good in Poly CP. Not sure how it does within a team, e.g. if you can place in the top 3 out of a team of 8.
  • Which one would YOU prefer Twins M3 or Firebird M3? - Well personally I prefer high D/Ls, so Twins (I have it anyways). And with Fire M3, combatting Vulcans won't help cause they usually have Zeus.
  • Again Mammoth M3 or Hunter M3? - If you plan on playing Poly CP (especially pro battles with no supplies), definitely Mammoth M3. Poly CP (pro) is all about health, especially at Gismo level. Everyone's in Titan or Mammoth (well there are some Dictators)
  • I want to buy Railgun M3 during Mayday, should I ditch it and get Twins M3/Firebird M3 along with Eyjafjallajokull Kit? - Since you have lots of hours logged with Rail M2, I'm going to assume you play XP a decent amount. While XP/BP is great, I wouldn't spend your time as a General (or any non-gismo rank) playing XP, unless you plan on playing in clans later on. I say this because you can play XP/Bp at any rank, but you can't always play in non-gismo battles (where there aren't M4s). So basically, I would get Twins or Fire, and get Rail M3 later on, at Commander or Gismo.
  • Mammoth M3 better than Viking M3 is Polygon CP, without any Isida to help? - well depends on what you use. Short range should be on Viking, and Smoky/Thunder/Twins/Vulcan should be on Mammoth/Titan
  • Finally, which of the above mentioned Kits is THE BEST for drugging? - Cardinal, Eyja are good for drugging. Prometheus too, since Fire with DD is deadly

Which kit should I buy?

You have tons of options. I recommend one that unlocks after Lieutenant General. Some of the top ones are Prometheus, Cardinal, Eyja, and more. If you play Poly CP, I recommend Cardinal. Although the paint isn't good for the map, you can use Emerald. I used Twins/Titan/Emerald for a while and it was amazing.

 

Prodigy vs Picasso

 

 

and

 

Tiger vs Nano

For Prodigi vs Picasso, it really comes down to whether you prefer more Shaft protection or Rail protection. But other than that both paints are good for long range. I have a 9/21 Prodigi (~ 50% Rail, 30% Thunder, 20% Shaft). It's a good paint if you use Thunder in large maps.

 

Between Tiger and Nano, I say go for Nano. I have it too, but Nano also offers Rico protection. Although Rico protection won't be helpful until Gismo rank (In battles Commander and under you honestly won't really see any M3 Ricos, and I don't see Redneck kit either).

Looking at your profile, railgun is your main turret so I dont advise getting viking as its a bit slow and you will have a slow gameplay. If you want a boring gamplay then go for viking, but if I was you I would buy either hornet or wasp. I would personally buy Wasp M1 for a fun and better gameplay

WHICH LONG AND SHORT TURRET SHOULD I GET

Railgun (high damage, shoot through multiple tanks) and Freeze (high damage, easy to counter Isidas, easy to make ice "scream" out of tanks, cool down teammates)

 

Btw, Should I get Refrigerator or Boreas or Medic?

Hornet is better than Wasp M1 cause with Wasp M1, you need Forester or some other Rail paint. But with Hornet, you don't. Imo it's worth the extra 10k crystals to buy Hornet M1 over Wasp M1 in return for not having to worry about Rail prot

In the mid to high m3 ranks are there a lot of shafts? in map like Kungur. Or would I more likely run into a rail.

In a map like Kungur and Serpuhov, there's a good mix of Shaft and Rail. In maps like Monte Carlo, Highways, and Stadium, definitely more Shafts than Rail. But in general, there are more Rails - simply because it's more versatile. Shaft is normally used in very large maps, but in Rail, you can use it even in medium sized maps where Shaft would be bad, such as in Forest. I think Prodigi is the better paint though. 20% Freeze isn't very necessary.

Neither, haha. Between the two, I say Refrigerator. But why would you get a Freeze kit when you can get Medic, Jackhammer, or others...

I guess it's preference. If I get Medic, I will have Thunder and Isida with viking m3, and the kit also has cherry which has thunder protection. How is that?

1-Prodigi is better than Picasso, u don't need that extra freeze protection but u need the higher rail protection

2-Smoky M3 is useless at Polygon CP - M4 isn't- , Vulcan and twins are much better

3-Best low tier kits are Medic,Jackhammer and Paladin

4-Dont buy legend kit !!!

5-micro upgraded CLay is the best long range paint at all (But u have to wait till gissmo)

6-Viking is much better than hunter, M4 hunter has 280 HP while M4 Viking has 315 HP !! and Viking looks better :P

7-Shaft is a dead turret -.-'

So guys as you know me I play Polygon CP and Noise CTF. I just got Firebird M2 and I really like roasting enemies :D

So I'm thinking of an M3 kit now. I got Firebird and that's strong and I think it will last me well into the M3 ranks (I've MUed it 10 steps). And my Hunter M2 is just the jack-of-all-trades. I was thinking of Jackhammer or Paladin kit. Jackhammer is at 40% off. Paladin kit is 45% off, so its more worth the crystals, and it's cheaper. So I like Smoky and Hammer and I think Tiger and Inferno will help me a lot with the M3 enemies I encounter. I don't really want to get Prometheus or Cardinal and the I-cant-spell-the-name-kit because I will have less time to Generalissimo to get an M4 and buy a lot of drug kits. So I've been hearaing a lot of people saying that Smoky is bad in Polygon CP and I still wonder why. I think Paladin is good in Noise CTF. Jackhammer will probably be good in Polygon CP and Noise CTF. So what would be a good and cheap kit to buy and max out to M4 until Generalissimo ?

Jackhammer will probably be good in Polygon CP and Noise CTF. So what would be a good and cheap kit to max out to M4 until Generalissimo .

First- to answer your question of why Smoky is bad in Poly CP: Basically, Smoky is a long range weapon. Loses significantly less damage over distance, compared to Thunder. Smoky also hits only one enemy at a time. Thunder has splash damage and has strong damage in short and medium ranges. Twins, yes it only hits one tank at a time too, but Twins is designed to be a short to medium range turret and it competes well against short range turrets like Fire. Also, idk if Paladin is good in Noise, for the same reasons as why Smoky is bad in Poly CP - 16 tanks is crowded for Noise, and you don't need Smoky's range in a medium map like Noise. Jackhammer is better in both Noise CTF and Poly CP, although at gismo level Hammer is prob better with Dictator.

 

You also said that "Paladin is more worth the crystals because it has a higher discount". Do not look at kits this way. I think Jackhammer kit will suit you.

10k currently... so poor...

Hmm, tough spot. Play Poly CP with Twins/Vik M1 for now and save for Isida M2.

 

Your other option is to start a new account and play mostly on that, and still complete daily missions (especially crystals reward ones) on your main.
