What to buy? Which is better?

[Bluebird13 95]

Any more opinions on Boreas? I've heard that it would be good fun to use, and has potential, and also that it is a joke. Can anyone else confirm one of these?

 

This leads me to this.

 

Save for Boreas first, or save only for Prometheus, even though that is a long way away, rank wise.

 

Another option (in place of Boreas) is to buy only a hull (or turret) at M3, during a sale. Hornet, for example, as my M2 doesn't stand up to too much punishment.

 

I do play Poly, and similar maps, but I don't spend more time there than in Kungur (just an example). Additionally, I have Fire and Thunder to use, too, so the maps I play don't make much of a difference.

 

Thanks.

its fun to use, but if you suck with freeze and/or wasp, its not for you. Plus its not op. If you want an op one get jack.

This is gonna be a long post, but bear with me. If you don't want to read the entire post, you can look at the questions which I've highlighted in orange. :)

 

I have been testing all sorts of turret-hull combos this week, and I've come to the realization that I don't enjoy short or long range combat. (Short-) medium (-long) is my prime. I've also realized that I enjoy being on-the-go. So, light and medium hulls are the best. I've listed the turrets and hulls that I've enjoyed using:

- Hammer - Wasp

- Rico - Hunter

- Smoky - Viking

(- Rail)

 

Now, Hammer, Smoky, Rico and Rail have many paints that protect against 2 or 3 of them in one paint:

- Hohloma - Nano

- Savanna (- Raccoon)

- Jade - Needle

- Tiger (- Clay)

Question 1: Should I buy and MU Hammer, Rico, Smoky (and Rail) regardless of the increasing population of protective paints?

 

Now Wasp on anything is very fun in the right hands. These turrets (except Rico) fit very well with it. They also fit very well with medium tanks. Hunter and Viking have very similar stats at m4, and a lot of players go for Viking because it has more health, however little difference it may be. But, does the +30 health of Viking make a significant difference? I compared the number of shots to kill a Hunter vs a Viking with Hammer, Rico, Smoky, Thunder, Rail and Shaft; all m4. (I didn't include Isida, Fire or Freeze because they can kill in one burst, and didn't include Twins or Vulcan, since it is difficult to count the number of shots they make in a battle.) The results were surprising:

vs Hammer: Both can be killed in as low as 3 shots

vs Rico: Hunter in 9-8 shots, Viking in 10-9 shots

vs Smoky: Hunter in 7-6 shots, Viking in 8-6 shots; without criticals

vs Thunder: Hunter in 4-3 shots, Viking in 5-3 shots

vs Rail: Both in 2-3 shots

vs Shaft fully scoped: Both will live from 1 shot

vs Shaft arcade mode: Hunter in 5-4 shots, Viking in 5 shots

Question 2: Do you think the difference of 1 or 2 shots from certain turrets is enough to go for Viking instead of Hunter?

 

I play on almost every map, always in CTF or CP. You can also look at my profile to see my garage.

<-----

1- I wouldn't let paints dictate your turret choice. What do you enjoy using? But if you must look at paints, I would say Rico and Hammer are decent choices because although the there are protective paints, folks tend to wear paints geared toward Fire, Twins, and Rail protection.

 

2- Tanki pushes Hunter as the go-to Medium hull at the end of the game. It unlocks later, is faster, and comes in some very attractive high-M3 kits. BUT most Gismos still prowl around maps in Vikings. I think that is your answer.

I just got Fighter and I have just over 9k left (wanted to get it at the May sales but then they messed up the kit changes). 

Should I get the Storm paint or should I stick with Desert? My other paints with protection are Mary, Swamp and Forester...

[thunderousrailgunner 1,934]

Even till Brigadier , Paints aren't necessary .. Just stick out with the paints that you get from kits .. After Brigadier M3 levelled paints will unlock ..

 

Here i mention M3 paints to indicate that they have no better replacements 

[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.

Any thoughts?

Atlas kit :)

But it's only 9k for really good fire protection... :ph34r:

[Bluebird13 95]

Do you have problems with Fire? I'm sure you play against plenty of M1s, and later you'll see M2s. If you feel the need for the protection, then Storm is a good deal. Get it during the sales, and use it interchangeably with your other paints. It'll surely go to use (depending on the maps you play), so why not?

[thunderousrailgunner 1,934]

But it's only 9k for really good fire protection... :ph34r:

Then buy it .. Storm is a good one .. However , if you are on tight crystals (which you will be not :ph34r: ) then dont go for it :)

Well, I'm at my best with short range turrets, so it's not like I'll charge head-first into other tanks all the time (and stay in front of them). :D That's not really much of an issue for me. The issue's people's opinions of it; apparently it's junk. I'll keep it in mind, but I might just skip it.  Edit: this is Boreas.

 

Since I did go ahead and buy Viking M2, I'll try not to think about the Viking kits. Pity about Jackhammer; I would have liked it. Even so..

 

Should I consider Hornet M3 to keep me going until Prometheus? Or maybe an M3 turret (or different hull) on its own? Hopefully some good sales appear; I might snag something along the way.

 

Thanks for the help.

You've got Thunder M3 .. And Prometheus is on Marshal .. so you need a hull to carry you along nicely ..

 

Hornet M3 is good for you (Since i've seen you play with it ) Viking M3 will be a nice option to pair with thunder though .. 

[VALKYRIE_RULER 215]

im just waiting for good sales to buy some stuff wonder whens next sale

[stawp_thundertime 275]

Why use forester when you could just have tundra or prodigi

Context... i'm not sure what to say about this.

[ckg_TURBO 2]

So if I can't buy Minotaur kit at lieutenant colonel, my other idea is Bulldozer kit. Thunder M3 and Emerald are awesome, but i don't really like Mammoth, I prefer Viking. I think i can't reach Brigadier with M1 twins and M1 dictator, where i can buy Raiden kit.

Alright; the problem with Viking is that I just bought M2 Viking, and Prometheus has Hunter. Hornet at least has a lot more speed, so is different in that respect. Viking.. has similar health to Hunter at stock M3, and is one point slower speed-wise (8.4 vs 9.5). That's just stock, but I don't think I'll be MUing anything much for a while; it's way too costly (700k+ per item).

 

So, for now M2 Mammoth and Viking are enough to last my Thunder, it seems. Vik M2 has 230hp and M3 has over 250hp. Not heaps of difference.

 

So, I'm considering Hornet M3. Other hulls unlock too late. Also, does anyone think I should take a turret instead of (or with) Hornet before Prom?

[thunderousrailgunner 1,934]

Then buy hornet
