[W6N 39]

so what do you think ?

[austinmyles 114]

Ok on my alt i ahve hammer of thor kit right now what kit should i go for net or do i save for rico m2?

[Jwimmer 2,835]

Hmmmm. I know freeze m2 is not the greatest M2 (possibly the worst), but what about at WO5? I also know that the mayday sales should be coming soon, and I may just wanna wait to get a better M2/M2 kit then. 

 

So yes or no?

Smoky M3 vs Ricochet M3

Inferno vs Lumberjack

Viking M3 vs Hunter M3

Edited April 26, 2016 by Zanlasha_G

[Zanlasha_G 119]

The later unlocked M3s (Smoky, Ricochet, Mammoth, for example) are typically considered the best when used right out of the figurative box. However, the early unlocking M3s (Thunder, Isida, Viking, for example) can be micro-upgraded earlier to M4, so they are quite good too.

 

Really, it just depends on your preference at M3 since there's no issue with wasting crystals with micro-upgrades. Although M3 Vulcan is often considered OP.

People say Titan M3 is better than Mammoth M3, is this true?

[FC_BayernMunchen 1,941]

People say Titan M3 is better than Mammoth M3, is this true?

In Poly CP (pro) with no supplies or drops, Mammy M3 is probably better, coz in these battles the outcome is literally determined by who has more health (seriously, everyone in these battles is in Titan or Mammoth. Even Firebirds are on Dictator, not Viking). But most people say that Titan M3 > Mammoth M3 just coz Titan M3's maneuverability is quite amazing. If you use a combo like Twins/Titan M3, Titan's speed is almost perfect for Poly CP - has just the right amount of agility and speed for the map. But I've never used Mammy m3 and I don't plan on buying it, so I might not be the right person to ask. The only thing I can tell you is to not get Titan M3 and Mammy M3 later on; waste of crys imo

 

Btw I saw your earlier post about why I said Isida M3 was 'underpowered'. Will answer shortly, had a day ban yesterday and working on long post right now (making tons of replies to all the posts I missed in this thread)

1. Raccoon + 90k MUs*

2. Rico + 100k MUs*

3. Hammer + 110k MUs*

4. 250k MUs*

* Includes Smoky and Viking, currently 20 and 10 respectively

Hello, I'm an unanswered question. :)

[r_GaIaxy2 8,611]

okay so I'm tired of grinding and grinding and getting so less exp on this account

I'm going to dump my idea of ranking up and getting Atlas kit

I already have 214k so I can just get Minotaur after 3 days, after that I will get Smoky M2 and Loam before saving for M3

 

is this okay?

Indeed it is

Get it. The sale will not be 50%.

No. Freeze M2 sucks.

 

 

Atlas at unlock () or Minotaur at unlock ()?

I play pretty much any position, depending on the situation, but I prefer midfield.

I also play on pretty much any map.

I'm somewhat experienced with both weapons (alts), and enjoy them both. The turrets would be used both on the hull they come with in the kit and Hornet M2.

Advice?

Which is better stock m3: Hammer or Rico?

[FC_BayernMunchen 1,941]

i just ranked up to second luitennant. Im making alot of crystals and xp per day. Im thinking of saving for firewall kit at first luitennant, but i reallyy want to start playing with the higher ranks. I definately get a kit. So please tell me what kit to buy.

 

P.S. I have 108k, but i get about 2000 every day.

You’re on the right track. You’re also doing very well in terms of a high crystals earned to experienced earned ratio. Firewall kit is a good kit; Fire M2 is very strong. But if you want to start ‘playing with higher ranks’, you might also want to consider Minotaur with Twins/Viking M2. I have Firewall on my alt account BorussiaDortmund_BVB and Hunter M2’s health is kinda iffy. I’ve played in battles such as Poly CP and under with my Fire/Dictator M2 (14/50), and I can get top 3 most of the time. But I’ve also tried Hunter M2 in those Poly CPs and it seems to work just fine (but that’s only coz of Fire M2’s OPness).

 

So basically, Firewall is an amazing and OP kit. But also consider Minotaur with Twins M2 - Twins M2 is also a very strong M2 that will last you to at least . But another thing - whether you get Minotaur or Firewall, as soon as you purchase them, START SAVING FOR A M3 KIT IMMEDIATELY. Seriously, you will not regret it!! ;)

 

TL;DR - Firewall will let you play with ‘higher ranks’ but you might want to pair Fire M2 with a medium hull with more HP. But you should also consider Minotaur, as it is a strong kit as well.

 

1. I will get Redneck, great idea. I've always wanted M3 Ricochet. 2. How good is Dictator M3? I always cry when I don't get the gold with it because I already had the bigger advantage. Hunter displays a subtle balance :) 3. I already got Isida, so too late. By the way, how is Isida underpowered when it almost always dominates in battles? Thunder, yes. I'm not going to fuss about it, but at least I have it to use until Marshal. 4. Disregarding the M2 Mammoth I already have, I will get M3 Titan for its speed and pushing power as a replacement for the 40 HP reduction. I still don't understand why anyone would buy or use Mammoth in this case. 5. Why would I need another medium hull when I already have Hunter M3? When would I ever use Dictator over Hunter or Titan?

I’ve never used Dict, Vik, or Hunter M3 so I’m probably not the best person to ask. But I’ll try, based on what I’ve heard and from my observations.

 

2) Dict M3’s health is significantly higher than Vik M3’s at stock level (no MU); for example, in Poly CP pro battles (no supplies or drops), I see Fire/Dict instead of the expected Fire/Vik. Not to mention that Dict is also good for gold.

 

3) Never used Isida M3 before but it since it unlocks early and it’s cheap, I just assume it to be underpowered (or, no one puts it up there with Twins, Fire, Smoky M3, etc). But due to Isida’s healing potential, it can be OP. But I wouldn’t really say that it “dominates” battles. Maybe if a Poly CP team has 3-4 Isida/Vikings, then yes, as a whole they dominate. But the way I look at it is Isida/Vik is more of a game-changer than a combo that ‘dominates’. A combo that ‘dominates’ would be a combo like Twins/Titan M3, one that can easily get a D/L over 1.5 and get 1st on it’s team. Isida is generally not good at this.

 

5) Stock Hunter and Viking M3 have around the same health. Like I said before, Dictator M3 (stock) has lots more health than the other two medium hulls. In battle, I’m sure that this difference will be noticeable. But really, it’s up to you as to what to buy. I just think Dictator M3 would pair nicely if you got Mammoth M3 as well (e.g. If you have Hunter and Mammy, Dictator would fill the gap nicely)

 

I already have enough crystals for hornet m3 I am thinking of getting it in may sale or should i wait till June for a higher discount or just get it at may day?

Just get it at May. You’ll still be saving crystals by buying at a discount. Hornet M3 is cheap, anyways. And you seem like a XP/BP player, so you won’t really need crystals for micro upgrades.

 

thanks for the reasoning, FC.

ur welcome bro, you can always leave a ‘like’ too instead of making another post ;)

 

okay so I'm tired of grinding and grinding and getting so less exp on this account

I already have 214k so I can just get Minotaur after 3 days, after that I will get Smoky M2 and Loam before saving for M3

 

is this okay?

Minotaur and Atlas are both good so you can get either. But after buying either kit, start saving for a M3 kit immediately. Seriously, why does everyone complain about kits being OP? Because they are OP. Smoky M2 and Loam are good items to have but getting a kit will be more rewarding.

 

Hi Again Guys,

I wanted to ask what i should buy or save up for?

 

Ive got 31k crystals now and i need 10k xp to rank to wo3.

Im going to play XP/BP in future because im pro BP and love it.

 

I could :

 

1. Save up for Tornado kit ( will i be able to save enough cry until wo5? )

2. Buy Fighter Kit As soon and then save for any other kit?

3. Buy RAIL M1 + Wasp M1 when unlocked?

4. Any other suggestions?

 

 

ALSO ? ARE THERE SALES ON KITS ? LIKE FOR MAYDAY?

 

Please help me out with this.

(Can i know how much i need to make daily for Tornado too)

 

 

 

And , what should i also do if i start saving up for any of these because i cant buy any right soon , atleast 10 more days .

So , what should i do after i buy one of those?

Any ideas?

But first pls help me out with the 3 choices!

Thanks :D

Answer is obvious imo - go for Tornado. I suggest you get Vik M1 and Storm, and buy nothing else. Just save for Tornado. Although you won’t be able to play XP/BP until , I think. But in the meantime, you can practice your XP skills in normal battles.

 

Your other option is to get Fighter kit and Titan or Viking M1. Twins M1 will last you a long time (to at least). You might even still be able to get Tornado if you go with this route, but it’ll be a little later.

 

And yes, kits go on sale.

 

Hi there im riphound and i have been thinking what is better riochet m1 or twins m1: please ca someone help me.

Twins M1 ofc. Rico M1 loses strength at around . Twins M1 will last you to at least.

 

My newest idea is to buy Bulldozer kit when I rank up. Emerald and Thunder are very effective at my rank, but i don't like Mammoth, it is too slow. I will use it with Dictator M1, because i don't have a good M2 kit like Viking or Dictator. In the Tanki birthday sale i could buy Viking M2 and Twins M2 (Minotaur kit) for only 115K! So if I will buy theese items in this way, I will have some very strong and effective combos.

My other idea is just to buy Minotaur kit. The earliest M3 items unlock at Brigadier, and i could not reach that rank for June. In this way i will only have a good M2 kit, but nothing more, and I can't buy any M3 item in June.

Can you help me?

Yes, Mammy M2 is slow. But it is still usable; a combo like Thunder/Mammoth is good in a map like Poly. I used the bulldozer combo for a looooong time ( to ) and Mammoth was just fine. Horribly slow but got the job done.

 

As to Bulldozer vs Minotaur, Bulldozer is probably the better bet. You get a M3, although Thunder needs some MUs. If you get Minotaur, you’ll need to M3 your Viking at and Twins M3 doesn’t unlock that early.

 

What kit should i get at my rank? should i get stinger kit which has isida m2 hornet 2 and fracture paint for around 108000 or osaka which has hunter m1 isida m2 and sakura paint? osaka costs 72000. i might even get freeze m2 at warant officer 5 i am not sure but i really want an m2. i use isida really well and have been using it for a while now but i am not sure cause its really expensive.. so please help!!!

Since you have so many hours logged with Isida/Hornet M1, Stinger will fit you perfectly. Don’t get Osaka, coz with Stinger you get a M2/M2. And don’t get Freeze M2 if you’re gonna get Isida M2. Only get one or the other.

 

If you’re bored with Isida/Hornet, try Firewall - Fire M2 is simply OP, it’s ridiculous how good it is.

 

Is hammer m2 better than ricochet m2 in the maps noise and rio?

I will talk about Hammer vs Rico in general, regardless of modification. Rico in Rio is good cause you can bounce shots off the building walls in the center of the map. Also, Rico’s range is pretty good too, so shooting from the side at the tanks in the center won’t be a problem. But at the same time, Rio can be crowded at times. And thus, Hammer (a close range turret) will be suitable. Also, Hammer’s strong knockback will be helpful in flipping opponents who try to jump off buildings.

 

It’s tough to say which is better in Rio. Maybe Rico by a small margin, coz of it’s range. But it’s hard to say.

 

guys i got 41% off on firebird

should i get it or wait till tanki bd >> it could be 50% off then

so what do you think ?

Get it. Tanki B-day is still another month and 41% is quite a discount.

 

Ok on my alt i ahve hammer of thor kit right now what kit should i go for net or do i save for rico m2?

If you want to keep using Rico, save for Boar

 

Hmmmm. I know freeze m2 is not the greatest M2 (possibly the worst), but what about at WO5? I also know that the mayday sales should be coming soon, and I may just wanna wait to get a better M2/M2 kit then.

 

So yes or no?

 

 

I say skip it. I used Freeze M2 on my alt BorussiaDortmund_BVB from to when I got Firewall. For battles and under, it was obviously OP cause I was facing M1s. But even in battles and under, my Freeze M2/Hunter M1/Storm combo worked great in Poly CP + DM (landed me top 3 without any problems). So really, if you go ahead and buy Freeze M2, it will definitely last you until until you, say, get Fire M2 or something. But the reason I don’t suggest you get Freeze M2 is that you will be much more satisfied with a M2 kit. Ever since getting Firewall at Iron days, I haven’t touched Freeze M2 at all (Fire M2 just takes a huge dump on Freeze M2).

 

I won't be able to put much with only 110k... Smoky and Viking are more of a priority to me...

 

Which is better stock m3: Hammer or Rico?

Stock? Rico definitely.

[Zanlasha_G 119]

So if I get Redneck and then save for M3 Titan, is that good?

 

Would Rico + Titan be considered a combo that dominates or does Twins, Vulcan, or Smoky do better? I prefer Isida and Mammoth to use on Polygon CP as D/L means nothing to me, but would Titan be better for its speed or pushing power to pair with Isida on short range maps and Polygon CP too? Also, is Redneck worth the price of Hunter? Is Redneck > Paladin or Prometheus? Isida alone stands as a powerful turret, but is Firebird M3 stronger? Do you see more winning battles with Firebirds or Isidas in critical situations overall? Based off anyone's experience in corresponding battles or with these weapons, what are your suggestions?

[r_GaIaxy2 8,611]

on my alt i ahve the hammer of thor kit what kit do i go for next or do i save for rico m2 and mu viking m1 to max for free m2 when i unlock it?

Save for Rico and buy an M2 hull. Don't MU

[Zenyth 6,494]

Indeed it is

aight

and I dumped Loam as well

just minotaur, smoky m2 and then m3 kit

[Bluebird13 95]

I've got a quick question; how many MUs are needed to make Thunder M3 stay effective as ranks pass? Mine is 11/50, and is doing excellently at my rank. I just want to know how well it'll be doing at ~ vs ~ vs ~ .

 

Thanks.

[Zenyth 6,494]

Get M3 straight after minotaur no need for M2 smoky get it in guardian kit

pretty sure I'll be bored using just Twins M2 and Freeze M2 .. that's why I'm gonna .. plus M2 Smoky is my dream, dumped Atlas but still wanna get Smoky

My Thunder is 26/50, and it does decently in most battles at my rank. I'm not MU'ing it any further until possibly a sale. By the way, having M3 Isida, M3 Thunder, and no M3 hull, would it be smarter to get Redneck, Prometheus, Cardinal, or Paladin?

Do you see more winning battles with Firebirds or Isidas in critical situations overall? Based off anyone's experience in corresponding battles or with these weapons, what are your suggestions?

Rico/Titan at would do extremely well I think. Definitely high D/L, and probably top 3. But Twins/Titan is ridiculously OP too; a lot of the time a successful Poly CP team has at least 2 Isidas, >1 Fire, and a few Twins/Titan. But for Poly CP and under, you'll definitely see more Twins protection than Rico protection (e.g. Emerald, Cherry). Prometheus is good too, so either Redneck or Prom.

 

I've got a quick question; how many MUs are needed to make Thunder M3 stay effective as ranks pass? Mine is 11/50, and is doing excellently at my rank. I just want to know how well it'll be doing at ~ vs ~ vs ~ .

 

Thanks.

Mine's currently 45/50 (I got 41/50 from MU update). Anyways, 11/50 is not a bad start. If you get it to around 20/50, it should be good to . But by that point hopefully you will be able to get a stronger turret, like Twins or Smoky

 

My Thunder is 26/50, and it does decently in most battles at my rank. I'm not MU'ing it any further until possibly a sale. By the way, having M3 Isida, M3 Thunder, and no M3 hull, would it be smarter to get Redneck, Prometheus, Cardinal, or Paladin?

Don't worry about M3 hulls, Dict M2 with MUs can match Viking M3's HP. And you can always use Mammy M2. Horribly slow but gets the job done. your M2 hulls will definitely last you until you get a M3 kit at around /

[austen_pierce 1,948]

FC here. What do you mean by "omit ranks"? If you're on mobile, you won't see the rank icons. If you're asking why I say instead of "Marshal", it's cause it's shorter to say rather than write out the word. And lower ranks might not know all the ranks

 

yep - on mobile. I'd guess others are too- all we see is " good from to .". Can I suggest you just use the names?

Hi there im riphound and i have been thinking what is better riochet m1 or twins m1: please ca someone help me.

Pretty confused for alt! I have like 6 K crystals rank is staff sergeant name is "Generalgissmo" so shall I be able to get vampire kit before ranking up to First sergeant? need help ASAP then I'll aim for predator kit and viking M1 and then at WO 3 maybe fighter kit then boar kit then M2 isida and all set till atlas so HALP PLS 

I don't think you'll be able to get vampire kit before first sergeant...If you get predator you won't need Viking M1 since Hunter M1 has more health and more speed than Vik M1 

You seem to like twins/hornet M0 on the generalgissmo account so you might want to get fighter sooner rather than predator
