What to buy? Which is better?

[FC_BayernMunchen 1,941]

Me too, What would be a good DM combination for me to buy at Tanki's birthday? I will be a lieutenant general (less than 1k exp away from it right now), but could work to general if I needed to get something. I don't know how many crystals I earn per day, but I have 298,994 right now. I already have m3 hornet, and an assortment of m2 turrets, with firebird being the only one that I assume will work at lieutenant general. 

Best thing to do is to get two good DM turrets that don't have paints that protect against both. For example - Using primarily Twins and Thunder isn't the best idea cause of Africa, Emerald, and Cherry. But using, e.g. Thunder and Smoky is a better option cause there aren't a whole lot of paints that protect against both.

 

Normal DM turrets are typically Thunder (stealing kills), Twins (good in one on one situations), and Smoky (quick reload + critical). Although I've noticed that upgraded Fire/Freezes on Viking can do well too. A good starter is prob Smoky or Twins - they're expensive at M3 but they are fairly strong without MUs. But of course, it's in your best interest to MU them in the long run.

[NamesAreForNoobs 324]

Save for a good m3 kit like titan+smoky or titan+twins. 

 

I doubt Smoky M3 can kill multiple enemies using m3 hulls fast enough, and Picasso isn't appealing. Idk if it's acceptable to buy a kit for only two of the items in it.

Is Thunder M3 as underpowered against other m3s as people claim or is it good in DM with an affordable amount of MUs? Again I'm not sure smoky can cut it in DM, being as single-target as it is, even thought it can mow down a single target quite well. I wont be able to get twins if I don't get cardinal and I don't want Picasso. Do fire/freezes on Viking make it to the top 3 atleast repeatedly and would hammer on Viking do really well too?

Between the way from stinger to legend ..what should I buy?

 

Current garage:- fire m1,twins m1, hornet m1, mammy m1,desert paint.

(Will have isida m2,hornet m2,fracture when the kits will rotate).

 

Note:- Don't suggest me on buying a different hull bcoz if u look at my profile.. I played a lot with hornet and I want to continue the tradition with stinger and legend.

Currently using fighter.

HORNET M3 OR VIKING M3 SOMEONE?

 

I want hornet cause of speed and looks, is viking truly better?

[name-lost 184]

Get viking if you want to play xp/bp then hornet

You haven't got a good medium hull, so I would suggest Viking.

Get Hornet later.

m3 viking for sure . M3 hornet is weak against m4's that you'll face when you rank up

Don't buy anything between stinger and legend. Save crystals for a second m3 kit.

[BillieGates 61]

what would be a good shaft hull for me? I like to camp a lot but i sometimes get the flag using drugs (double armor and speed boost). i currently have a viking m1 and a shaft m1, should i switch to hunter?

also, is the siberian kit good?

Edited May 15, 2016 by BillieGates

[Phoenix.Rising 2,519]

For those who use Wasp M3 in Polygon XP/BP: Is it a good buy?

 

Or should I stick with Hornet M3?

No, siberian kit is not good

Will stinger last me that long?

Yep it will. Isida is easy to handle and can get you exp in almost all maps

Hmm I may buy rail m2 to experience m2 XP/BP.

Why the hurry? Wait to play xp/bp by legend kit. Meanwhile, enjoy playing normal battles

OK I'll wait. And save and maybe will buy legend as well as paladin with the crystals I would save

When people say Thunder M3 is underpowered, they mean that if you wish to use it past ~Lt Gen, you need MUs on it. Also, if you compare all the M3s (no MUs), Thunder is one of the weakest. I have 45/50 and in Poly DM, it generally is pretty OP. In Poly DM with MUs on and all supplies + drops off, I've had mixed results with it, but in general it works out decently. But that's usually cause my opponents don't have MUs on their hulls. In normal Poly DM (non pro), I drug most of the time (DD + repair). In these battles, especially at the gismo level, there are usually 3-4 players that drug; not everyone does, which is somewhat surprising to me.

 

Anyways - it [Thunder] is good in Poly DM, with at least 30/50. 35/50 to be safe, but I've also heard that even a ~22/50 Smoky is better than a M4 Thunder. If I were you, I would go for Smoky and MU it. Another big advantage about using Smoky over Thunder is that with Thunder, you have to rely more on kill steals; you have to time your shots to get kills, while for Smoky, you can just hold space and hope for a crit, and take advantage of the quick reload. You can also camp on the ledge where the DD box is and snipe (while you can't really do this with Thunder)

 

As far as short range goes, I'm not too sure. I've seen maybe a M4 Fire on Viking that's been able to do well; but one of the biggest things about using Fire/Freeze is that DD Thunders can easily steal kills. I don't have much to say about Hammer, though.

Should I get Osaka or Stinger? I'm not sure anymore lol

I was gonna get Stinger for a full M2 kit, but I prefer smaller maps, where heavy/medium hulls are better. Also, Hornet M2 is kinda underpowered and Hunter M1 is kinda overpowered.

And Fracture is gorgeous. 

 

Oh, and congrats on ranking!

How many cry do you have? Cause you could honestly buy Titan M1 or Viking M1 with Twins and use it until you can get a strong M2/M2 like Minotaur, Firewall, etc.

 

But between Osaka and Stinger.. If you play Poly CP, get Osaka. Hunter M1 has more speed and health than Vik M1, which is great. I have tried both kits on various alts of mine, and the kits are exactly what you think - Stinger for medium-large maps, and Osaka for smaller maps. Hunter M1's speed is great for Poly CP. Ignore the paints though, you're probably better using Storm.

Ungh okay so my original plan was to get Boar Kit during the sale, then get Bulldozer and then finally Legend kit. 

 

But then I got a Personal Discount for Thunder M1, which looked so good and is amazing but probably wasn't smart in the long run. It set me back 30,000 crystals, so now I only have 70,000 rather than the 100,000 I need for Boar kit during the B-Day Sales. I'm pretty sure I can't get the 30,000 crystals between now and the sales.

 

So my revised plan is skip Boar, wait and get Northerner (rather than Bulldozer), and then get either Jackhammer/Legend Kit. But the problem is I don't know if I can make it to Northerner without even an M2 Hull, when there are M3 Thunders and stuff already that 2 shot my 10 MUs M1 Mammoth. Which means they probably oneshot my M1 Hunter.

 

So what would be a good gameplan for me kit and buying-wise? Now all my plans seem all messed up and idk what to do.  :unsure:

Hmm, so I agree, you should have skipped Thunder M1. But 70k isn't bad at all at where you are. Also, even if you can get Boar, I would wait a few ranks and go for Minotaur, Firewall, Northerner, etc. If you really want Northerner, I think Thunder/Titan M1 can last you to that rank. If you choose to get Northerner, save immediately for a M3 kit. But I don't recommend playing XP/BP at such a low M3 rank. You can play XP/BP at gismo but you can't avoid M4 druggers. Go with Jackhammer

Play one server lower than your default server. If you are defaulted to EN3, play battles on EN4.
