What to buy? Which is better?

[Flaming_Death49 7]

Ok first of all. Just because "Paulius DaOne" used it and it "worked" for him, does not mean that it will work for you. Smoky M2 is quite an impressive turret overall, but in Poly CP, Thunder and Twins is more effective. Also, Smoky M2 isn't that great in Noise CTF. It's more of a long range turret. I suggest you get Minotaur but if you really want, get Atlas over Northerner, coz Titan M2 has more health for Poly CP and Loam is great.

 

 

 

you have yet not caught 10 golds.. I honestly think goldhunting should be your last concern.

 

The kit has to fit you... there is no point in getting the "best" kit, while the playing style that you play does not fit the kit.

 

atlas is awesome in small maps, on medium cyou can play defense or lock up critical entrances to your base. nothener it great too, if you like mobility and attacking. so think what suits you more.. beeing mobile and attack+midfield, or defense and stay behind.

then choose.

 

 

Well you said you play Poly CP and Noise CTF. Smoky/Titan is definitely better than Smoky/Viking in Poly CP - Viking is for short range turrets in this game mode. In Noise CTF, I still think Smoky/Titan will be better, just cause 8v8 on Noise is somewhat crowded. But I guess Smoky/Viking is ok in Noise CTF; (Smoky/Vik in Noise CTF > Smoky/Vik in Poly CP)

 

Also, if you care about "gold hunting", Titan definitely your better bet over Viking. Especially with Twins/Titan, you push everything.

 

Another thing - Atlas' paint is 1000x better than Northerner. Shaft paint is only useful if you play maps like Skyscrapers, Monte Carlo, Highways, etc. Even in maps where Shaft might be common (such as Rio and Kungur), you're better off with Smoky and Rail protection.

Anybody else, I would love to hear lots of input on this. It might also be important to note that the medium maps I do play in are always ctf/tdm. (This is atlas vs northerner).

So I am planning on getting firewall and atlas kit, but am not sure how well smoky m2 on hunter m2 would work out.

Any suggestions?

[austen_pierce 1,948]

I dont like short range turrets (Fire, Freeze, Isida, Twins), since they're VERY boring to use. However, I should get a turret that has a high damage output with a decent range. I have Smoky, and I'll probably MU Shaft. I was thinking of either getting Rico or Hammer.

 

However, my goal is to have a combination of turrets where it is hard for opponents to use 1 paint to protect against 2 or 3 of my turrets. If I get Rico, I'll be screwed with people with Hohloma, Savanna, Jade, Nano and Needle, which are VERY common paints. Hammer is another option, so it'll lessen the list to Jade, Tiger and Nano. But, I like Rico's style where you need to find spots to bounce shots on the fly.

 

So, should I get Rico regardless of the large number of paints that'll protect against Rico, Smoky and Shaft? Or go with Hammer?

Go with Rico, it's the bomb. And most of those paints only mean an extra shot or two to finish off your opponent.

Ok .. my question :

It will cost you another 87k to MU your M1 completely.

M2 Wasp costs 103k.

 

You'd save time and money if you continue MUing, because you're two ranks off the unlock rank anyway (and it's cheaper). It's not like you could get it instantly if you didn't want to MU.

I have smoky M2 and Hunter M2 and I have used them both together. The combo is extremely versatile, being an almost perfect midfield role on medium to large maps, like Rio and Kungur. I do not use it as I prefer Ricochet to Smoky, but that is just me. It is still a very good combo so I would go for it if you like Smoky.

It's amazing, I have it on my main account and if you play CP you're gonna earn soo many crystals. The only reason I didn't play it that much is because I liked wasp smoky better (gotta go fast)

What does everyone think of the Boreas kit? I am trying to think of an alternative to Medic, although I'd like that kit. My larger aim is Prometheus, so Viking and Hunter together isn't necessary.

Lmao Boreas is one hell of a joke. Go for Medic, it's better. And don't worry about Hunter and Viking M3 over lapping. Prometheus is already a great kit (Fire M3 + Zeus). I’ve heard Taiga is sucky without MUs (ask Halo), and Freeze is kinda irrelevant nowadays. Wasp is good for BP, but Freeze/Wasp is a horrible combo imo.

 

Also, Legend? I haven't used Rail past M0 and M2/M3 on the test server. I might not be the best with it to start. However, I enjoyed XP with M2s (I really don't like M0; slow turning speed, reload and not-so-great damage).

Only get Legend if you plan on becoming a serious XP player or if you intend on playing in a clan. I would wait on XP/BP until later on. Enjoy your time as a non-gismo before you have to face M4 druggers.

 

Should I consider Cardinal or Guardian? I am not really a fan of heavy hulls (don't hate them, though). Finally, should I consider a turret/hull on its own? I've got M3 Thunder, M2 Hornet and Mammoth, and M2 Firebird. I use all. As for paints, I really only use Jaguar and Emerald.

If you like Poly CP, get Cardinal. Twins/Titan is amazingly OP in Poly CP, and Titan is such a huge asset to have at General. Although you may be more impressed with Nano. I used Thunder M3 from Brigadier to General and bought Guardian at General. I hate Smoky and rarely touch it nowadays, but Titan M3 worked out great for me and while I still used Emerald most of the time, Nano is great to have in your garage. Verdict here is Cardinal.

Since you already have Thunder M3, I suggest you save for either Prometheus or Cardinal. You could get Medic if you really wanted it, but imo it’s not that necessary for you since you already have Thunder M3 (Thunder and Isida M3 are underpowered and need MUs). You also have Emerald, which is very similar to Cherry.

I have Firewall on my alt BorussiaDortmund_BVB and Hunter M2 is not bad. Although at times, I wish I had Hornet M2, since it has more speed. But Smoky works on any hull, and imo Smoky/Hunter is better than Smoky/Hornet cause it has more health and still retains good maneuverability. But Smoky/Viking is better than Smoky/Hunter, just cause you don't always need speed with Smoky and plus, Viking has more stability. Have you considered Northerner? And how much do you plan on using Fire M2?

Thanks! I have considered northerner, but I would rather have a medium and heavy m2 tank than a medium and medium m2 tank. I plan on using fire often on smaller maps, and even more when I get hornet m2 later.

(Tiger---Mars---Needle or Savanna---Inferno), I have to pick 2 out of them, Help me guys

[deadmanrising 715]

10-20% paint, 15 does the job too

 

from tankiwiki "M2 Wasp - 10% - 20% - Forester, Corrosion, Emerald, Raccoon, Fracture, Blacksmith, Sandstone, Savanna, Bronze, Veteran"

Why use forester when you could just have tundra or prodigi

[deadmanrising 715]

(Tiger---Mars---Needle or Savanna---Inferno), I have to pick 2 out of them, Help me guys

Tiger is a good paint but if you do a lot of mid range battles buy mars. Personally i would choose needle over savanna and inferno

[austen_pierce 1,948]

Yes, it's worth it. I currently have 126k, so getting one of those kits in two/three ranks is almost certain. Get Stinger ASAP, you won't regret it.

Get Boar, Atlas, or Northerner.

Rico is boss.

Yep, Rico is king

If i was you i'd get tiger, strong midrange paint, and you already have many close range paints that are very similar to mars in terms of functionality.

However you have no paint with 2 of the same protections tiger has. It also has better upgrading potential than the others.

You are pretty stacked on paints, and i think you should invest the rest on muing your current paints instead of 1 more paint.

Anyways if 1 must pick a paint from the stash it's inferno for it's insane stock potential, it's the freeze paint for pro-battles.

 

Needle is needless (budumtsssss) if you already have clay, and you are not a shafter... and i recall you aren't. Same thing with savanna, too much overlap... and for a paints that are usually needed in larger battles overlapping is not ideal, since you aren't bound to face the same guns...

And small battles on big maps are rather rare.

I like Tiger and i lean towards it, But 30 Smoky protection is pretty low. However, MU'ed Tiger is very good for sure. I like Mars too because of the Fire-hammer protection and yea Inferno is a real need for pro battles

[omarhero1 401]

Needle and Mars

I like the Smoky-Rico protection on Needle, but i already have Clay for Rico. So what so u think of MU'ed Tiger ?

[omarhero1 401]

Needle is a way more expensive  xD

Ya I guess that works. But 30% is quite good imo

[austen_pierce 1,948]

Buy it or not?

<profanity> yes!

[Flaming_Death49 7]

Basically this is northerner vs. atlas

 

1- I mostly play on small maps like Polygon CP/DM and Noise CTF. 

2- I usually play midfield or attacking, but really don't mind a change. (That's what keeps gameplay interesting for me is change)

3- The medium maps I do occasionally play in are always TDM/CTF

4-  I'm really leaning towards Atlas because of paint, but would like to hear your thoughts.

 

P.S. I really don't mind change. That's why I will not play with m2 twins or firebird; I have already played them.
