What to buy? Which is better?

[Zanlasha_G 119]

I would say XP. In normal battles at your rank, in order to get a get score you almost always need to drug, and drugs cost crystals (duh). In XP, as well as the fact that there are no supplies, the battle funds are higher than normal battles, which means more Goldboxes. Finally, in my experience with XP, if you play Polygon CP XP/BP, your crystal to Experience ratio is much higher. On the losing team you usually get your score in crystals, and if you are on the winning team you get double your score in crystals.

 

In terms of PRO battles non XP/BP, Stormbringer would get you a TON of crystals, but only if you found decent PRO battles at your rank. Normally all the PRO battles are full of Gissmos with M4s, and even though you would still get a decent score, you would probably get a higher one it XP/BP battles.

I'm definitely going for the XP plan.

It all depends on how long you play, some people even rank to Generalissmo within 4-5 months, and you need to play a lot for that. The premium helps you ranking even faster ;)

so thank you all for your advice!

my new (heavily revised) plan is thus:

 

Buy hornet and freeze m2 at next large sale

Continue saving up for atlas

buy atlas

save up for and buy raiden and other m3 kits

How many crystals do you have ??

for me the plan is useless be ause you will never be able to save that much that you can buy 2 m2's and one kit -_- save for kits only.

get atlas then play poly cp's rank up till you get healer kit and buy healer kit so in that way you will have long range m2 smoky and m3 hornet and short range isida m3 and titan m2.

no do not you should be saving for m3 kit not m2s :) also if you have m2 dictator m3 thunder isn't a bad mount for it so maybe think for bulldozer or man of war. unless you hate thunder or don't like it and thinkits bad ( I personally think its great)

[Seargent_Death 21]

Ok so I am a Second Lieutenant and I am currently saving crystals for an M2 kit. I have 37,000 crystals and I am wondering what M2 Turret should I get. So would experienced players who have used M2 Turrets please reply as to what is the best M2 Turret in your opinion. Also tell me why you think that that Turret is the best. You can also put in the Top 3 or something like that. Please don't reply by saying it's according to my play style because that doesn't help at all whatsoever and I can't preview every M2 Turret so that I can see which one suits me.

 

I am also finding it kind of hard to save up crystals. The cheapest kit that I can buy is like 100,000 crystals and the most expensive is like 250,000. For all you experienced players, how do you save up so many crystals? Please don't say "buy crystals" because that is no help whatsoever too. I also would like to know great combinations for turrets and hulls to get the maximum profit in battles. You can also advise me on a combination of the turrets and hulls that I own. I have Thunder, Railgun, Shaft, Firebird, Viking, Hornet, and Mammoth in M1. I currently mostly use Thunder + Viking or Railgun + Hornet. I play on the maps: Hill, Highland, Noise, Polygon, Rio, Sandbox, Serpuhov. I play mostly in CTF but I also play CP and TDM. I don't really play DM, only for Daily Missions. I will really appreciate your replies. Thank You

not tht great imo

M2 wasp with rustle takes 4 shots to kill,with m3 thunder.Then imagine opponents wit emerald

Altho,if u drug 24/7,thunder is a really good choice

Maybe, maybe not. It actually depends how much scores you get in an hour though. If you use premium then you might rank fast. The best way to earn exp is in the Aleksandrovsk map, CTF 10 vs 10 or 11 vs 11. If there is 10 opponents in the other team and you capture their flag you will receive 100 exp's, and if there is 11 then you will receive 110 exp's. The more opponents the more exp's you will get for capturing a flag :)

Is 10 vs 10 Serpuhov CTF worse than 10 vs 10 Aleksandrovsk CTF? Or 10 vs 10 Kungur CTF? Polygon CP bad for earning exp?

What do you expect us to say? It is up to you if you take the risk or not. If you want to blame us because we told you to buy/not to buy the paint in case Germany wins/loses the cup, it is a bad idea.

First of all, you should avoid buying separate turrets and hulls. Buying kits instead is way cheaper - you often pay less for the kit than for a turret + hull, and you get a paint in addition.

 

Unfortunately, it does depend on the playing style and skill. However, it depends more on the maps you play most often. For example, thunder might be good in Polygon CP, but bad for Arena, Island and Hill maps. Players also have their own likings. Some love thunder, some say it sucks... Whom shall you believe? None, you need to try yourself. Yes, I know you cannot afford to buy all turrets. Life sucks.

 

If you have a good M1 combo now, you might think about skipping M2 and saving for M3 equipment. M3/M3 kits start being available at Lieutenant Colonel rank (5 ranks higher than you are now). By the time you save up enough crystals for M2 stuff, you might be close to unlock first M3 kits. So, you must answer the question: which M3 kit are you going to buy first? And then another question: can you reach the rank that unlocks your M3 kit with your current tank or you must buy M2 equipment? Maybe an M2/M3 kit is a good option for you? They are unlocked 2-3 ranks earlier than full M3 kits.

 

I am also finding it kind of hard to save up crystals. The cheapest kit that I can buy is like 100,000 crystals and the most expensive is like 250,000. For all you experienced players, how do you save up so many crystals? Please don't say "buy crystals" because that is no help whatsoever too.

Do you want to know how to save up crystals? Save them! Which means - do not waste them. You have wasted a lot of crystals for buying stuff you did not really need. You wanted to buy them? It's fine, but do not complain now that saving is hard. Just think twice or thrice before buying anything. I have not bought any M1 turret or hull and bought only one M2 kit ("Boar"). I was saving for M3 equipment, got over 500,000 crystals now and I am waiting for kits rotation. (This is not my 1st account, keep in mind I got some experience on another one!)

 

Ok, so about what you could possibly buy. Most of the maps you play on are big or medium ones. Only Hill is small. Thus, I would suggest long- or medium-range turret. Thunder pairs well with both viking and hornet, even with Mammoth if you like to camp e.g. on Highland or Polygon maps. Railgun is fun, but requires a lot of skill to get high scores. I can't say how long you can play with thunder and viking/hornet M1 without a pain, but firebird M1 will become too weak before you unlock M3 kits. I don't liek shaft and I haven't played much with it, so I will not comment it.

However, I can assure you that all these 3 turrets are bad for small maps like Hill (thunder being best among them, but still bad).

 

Now about turrets you do not have. Isida is great for earning experience/score (you don't have to engage enemy, you gain experience/score by healing teammates), but is also often targeted first. Ricochet is great for maps with a lot of obstalces (preferably with flat walls), or just small and medium maps. I'm using M2 rico and it's just great till Major rank, and it's still good (not so great though) later. Freeze would work fine for all maps you mentioned (mounted on hornet hull). Smoky would be a good option for all your favourite maps as well, either on viking or hornet hulls. Twins is a good option too, especially for Highland, Noise, Polygon and Hill maps.

I am saving up for a kit, I am not buying turrets and hulls separately.

I have put up the maps that I play on so could you recommend an M2 combo for those. I am good with the M1 turrets that I use which are thunder and railgun. But I don't know how I will do with other turrets and I don't want to buy an M2 turret that I suck with so I need to know what most players prefer as an M2 turret. Also for some turrets when you get M2 for it it's not that stronger than its M1 version therefore it would be weak compared to other M2 turrets so I need to know which is the best.

 

 

If you have a good M1 combo now, you might think about skipping M2 and saving for M3 equipment. M3/M3 kits start being available at Lieutenant Colonel rank (5 ranks higher than you are now).

​In current battles whenever I am facing M2 players I find it quite difficult, I may be able to score some kills but most of the time I die and get a relatively low score so I think I would need an M2 kit.

On the contrary I don't think I have wasted my crystals. I had first gotten M1 Firebird which was very helpful and got me lots of kills, even now at my rank it is still quite strong so it was a good investment. I then had gotten M1 Shaft since I was using Shaft a bit back then but I suppose that was kind of a waste since I hardly use it now (I was a bit of a noob with knowledge of which turrets are good). I also got M1 Mammoth since it was cheap but that also might have been a waste since I don't really use it now (as I said before I was a bit of a noob back then). I then got M1 Rail and M1 Hornet which was very useful and let me get high scores. I then got M1 Thunder and M1 Viking which also very useful since it has more DPS than Rail and I am currently using this combination now and it is quite strong. Forester and Marine were very cheap and provided moderate protection and I used them for a while so they weren't a waste. Lead might have been a waste since it was more expensive than Forester and Marine and now I don't use it. I got Corrosion recently and it protects well against annoying turrets like Rail and Shaft. So in theory most of the stuff I bought was not a waste. Not buying any M1 equipment is quite foolish since by the time you come to the rank of buying M2 equipment you will get annihilated. I destroy people that have M0 equipment VERY easily and they usually have the lowest scores.

 

Ok, so about what you could possibly buy. Most of the maps you play on are big or medium ones. Only Hill is small. Thus, I would suggest long- or medium-range turret. Thunder pairs well with both viking and hornet, even with Mammoth if you like to camp e.g. on Highland or Polygon maps. Railgun is fun, but requires a lot of skill to get high scores.

I don't liek shaft and I haven't played much with it, so I will not comment it.

However, I can assure you that all these 3 turrets are bad for small maps like Hill (thunder being best among them, but still bad).

 

I do have quite a lot of skill with railgun as I can achieve lots of kills even in difficult situations. Thunder and Viking is very powerful but it is kind of slow so close range turrets sometimes reach me and kill me. For that I usually just drop a mine which kills them so it's not really a problem. When I play Polygon CP I use M1 Firebird + M1 Viking and it is extremely strong as I usually have the highest score in my team. I have to disagree with you about Hill as when I use the above combo of Firebird it is amazing. With Rail I can usually jump into the enemy area, shoot someone, and get back to base.

 

Now about turrets you do not have. Isida is great for earning experience/score (you don't have to engage enemy, you gain experience/score by healing teammates), but is also often targeted first. Ricochet is great for maps with a lot of obstalces (preferably with flat walls), or just small and medium maps.

Smoky would be a good option for all your favourite maps as well, either on viking or hornet hulls. Twins is a good option too, especially for Highland, Noise, Polygon and Hill maps.

 

​I already know all of that about Isida and Ricochet. M2 Freeze is not that much stronger than M1 Freeze, it only has a slight buff making it weaker than most other M2 turrets and I can usually kill M2 Freezes easily with my M1 Thunder. I agree that M2 Smoky is great with M2 Viking and it is one of the best M2 turrets. I also agree that M2 Twins is very strong paired with M2 Viking, with Double Power it can rack up some serious kills since you have no reloading so you can dish out maximum damage at multiple enemies. M2 Firebird is also one of the best M2 turrets, it does amazing damage and great damage with the afterburn, the afterburn can last for 12 secs so you have no problem destroying enemies. The only bad thing is that its reloading is quite long but since you deal massive damage you usually just need to use half of your energy bar to kill and enemy, not to mention the great damage that the afterburn does. It can beat any turret up close since if you die before your opponent the afterburn will finish them off, plus your fire goes through enemies so you can damage multiple enemies at once. The only other drawback is that it is short range, but it can still do amazing in short to medium maps. Also since M1 Firebird is unlocked so early on, M2 is unlocked a lot later so it is much stronger. It can do a maximum of a whopping 905.3 damage including the full afterburn with a full energy bar making it the highest DPS of any M2 turret.

Healer will definitely get u to a higher rank the fastest since you get additional xp when healing. Also M3 Thunder is not that much stronger than M2 as it is the lowest damage increase of all its modifications so I would advise you to buy the healer kit.

[Schroedinger_Cat 38]

I am saving up for a kit, I am not buying turrets and hulls separately.

That's good! :)

 

I have put up the maps that I play on so could you recommend an M2 combo for those. I am good with the M1 turrets that I use which are thunder and railgun. But I don't know how I will do with other turrets and I don't want to buy an M2 turret that I suck with so I need to know what most players prefer as an M2 turret. Also for some turrets when you get M2 for it it's not that stronger than its M1 version therefore it would be weak compared to other M2 turrets so I need to know which is the best.

I know. I cannot tell you which combo is best, I am not that experienced. However, I think I can tell which combos are good and which are bad. OK, if you are going to buy kits, the problem is way easier. So, your question should be: which kit to buy. ;)

 

Do not be afraid to buy a turret you never used. You can always create a new account, buy the same turret at M0, get the basic experience and then buy a kit with this turret on your main account. :)

 

You probably should see the turrets/hulls section also. The turrets are discussed there, so you can learn more about how much better the higher modification is.

 

 

In current battles whenever I am facing M2 players I find it quite difficult, I may be able to score some kills but most of the time I die and get a relatively low score so I think I would need an M2 kit.

Well, in most cases facing a higher modification tank is hard. You said exactly the same thing later, when you mentioned destroying all m0 tanks. ;) Hoverwer, it is true that some combos are not doomed to fail vs higher modification tanks. For example, M1 hunter-twins can win vs M2 wasp-fire if the fire is spotted early enough. It all depends on the situation.

 

On the contrary I don't think I have wasted my crystals. (...) So in theory most of the stuff I bought was not a waste.

On the contrary, at least half of that stuff is considered by you as a waste. And IMO, just one M1 combo would be enough. But do not worry about it. Every newbie buys as much as (s)he can, simply because of curiosity or because got wrecked by and experienced player. I remember when I started playing for the first time (on another account) - I got wrecked by a guy with railgun, so I bought railgun and it turned out, I lack skill to hit anyone. ;) I got wrecked by isida, so I bought isida. I got wrecked by firebird, so I bought firebird. And so on...

 

I had first gotten M1 Firebird which was very helpful and got me lots of kills, even now at my rank it is still quite strong so it was a good investment.

It was probably your bet purchase so far. :) IMO, firebird M1 has a very good power to price ratio among M1 turrets.

 

Not buying any M1 equipment is quite foolish since by the time you come to the rank of buying M2 equipment you will get annihilated.

Really? ;) I could afford "Boar" kit (which has M2 hull and M2 turret) at Warrant Officer 5 rank (2 ranks lower than yours). I was lucky to buy it during a sale, so I saved additional ~15,000 crystals. So, I had an M2/M2 tank earlier than you started thinking about saving for M2. Do you still think it was foolish? ;) Many players laughed at me then, but when I finally bought the kit I was dominating nearly any battle. Because all others had M1 tanks. Of course, it was a bit hard at WO3 - WO5 ranks, but definetely worth it. And I wouldn't do it if I didn't have experience from my previous account. Skills can compensate worse equipment to some extent. Also, if you join battles, in which your rank is highest allowed, you increase your chances for high score (if other players have same rank as you or lower, they have worse tanks on avarage than in case when your rank is lowest). Believe me, you do not really need more than one M1 and one M2 combo. However this might be boring, I can understand that.

 

I destroy people that have M0 equipment VERY easily and they usually have the lowest scores.

Just like an M2 tank can destroy you easily. ;) However, the biggest differences in power are between M0 and M1. An experienced player with an M0 tank can easily destroy M1 newbie though.

 

I do have quite a lot of skill with railgun as I can achieve lots of kills even in difficult situations. T

Excellent! :)

 

I have to disagree with you about Hill as when I use the above combo of Firebird it is amazing.

I never said that firebird is bad for Hill. On the contrary, it's one of best turrets there.

 

With Rail I can usually jump into the enemy area, shoot someone, and get back to base.

I can assure you that it will not work vs more experienced players. Railgunners are wrecked easily on Hill map, especially if enemies are using hammer, rico or twins.

 

I already know all of that about Isida and Ricochet. (...)

You seem to know a lot already. I cannot help you much then. In particular, I cannot point the best M2 combo/kit. Maybe someone else will?

 

M2 Firebird is also one of the best M2 turrets, it does amazing damage and great damage with the afterburn, the afterburn can last for 12 secs so you have no problem destroying enemies. The only bad thing is that its reloading is quite long but since you deal massive damage you usually just need to use half of your energy bar to kill and enemy, not to mention the great damage that the afterburn does.

Yes, firebird M2 is quite strong. However, the tactic depends on map you play. For example, on Polygon CP you should just go to the point and use all your napalm to burn the crowd there. In most cases you will not survive long enough to reload. ;) But you can still destroy a few tanks for the price of one life of yours.

 

The only other drawback is that it is short range, but it can still do amazing in short to medium maps.

Well,firebird can be used on large maps too. You need a light hull though. You need to sneak to the enemy base. If you succeed, you can cause a lot of havoc. ;) For example, on Brest or Highways maps there is a big number of shaft/railgun campers. If you can reach them, you destroy one after another. Works well on Sepruhov or Rio also. Basically, all you need to do is make an surprise attack, on a bunch of enemies preferably.

 

If you are a newbie, it would be probably better if you bought an M2/M2 or M2/M3 kit. I cannot suggest buying any, since I got only "Boar" (which is great and can be successfully used till Brigadier at least). Whether you find my opinions valuable or not, be aware of some facts. Thunder is good, but at some point many players will have thunder protection paints (players at Brigadier ranks and higher, but you will start meeting them soon, since they will be in your rank range). At this point you might end up with a turret, which is no longer as good as it was 2 ranks earlier. Since you still need to earn crystals, I suggest an M2/M2 or M2/M3 kit which is unlocked late, and then buy and M3/M3 kit which is also unlocked late. In other words, your new M2/M2 or M2/M3 kit must be good enough to get to General rank. The other option is to buy a cheap M2 kit and then buy a cheap M3 kit unlocked early, but I am not sure if you can earn crystals fast enough.  I cannot guranatee the following ones are good enough, but they are worth being considered (random order):

1. "Boar" - I have made a comment on this kit already. I will just add one thing - Dictator is very good for catching gold boxes on small and medium maps (might be too slow for maps like Kungur if the gold box is dropped far). I was able to get even 10 gold boxes per week sometimes.

2. "Aborigine" - looks like a decent combo

3. "Mountain" - additional fire protection paint needed, Marine not enough IMO.

4. "Atlas" - never had it, but many players say it is one of strongest M2 kits with a very good paint

5. "Firewall" - just as you said, fire m2 is very strong, hunter is a good compromise between speed and durability, which makes this kit quite good for small and medium maps you like. I would suggest it to you.

6. "Jam" -  it is a new kit, but looks interesting. Has a decent paint. And dictator again.

7. "Vesuvius" - similar to "Mountain", just less HP and more speed.

8. "Firebolt" - Wasp M2 is much better than Hornet M2 (similar amount of HP, much more speed). One wasp per team is good even for Hill map to make a quck capture. However, on medium or bigger maps you might get destroyed before you reach your enemy, so it requires "how to survive" skill. ;)

9. "Stinger" - quite cheap and good M2 kit. Works best on rather big maps (light hull, a paint which protects from long range turrets). If you can buy it soon, maybe you will save enough crystals to buy an M3 kit at Brigadier rank.

10. "Anaconda" - good turret and hull, but weak paint.

11. "Minotaur"  or "Ram"  - the only difference is the hull. Both are quite good, however many say Atlas is better.

12. "Mosquito" - if you really are not so bad with rail, maybe this one is for you? However, it will not work well on Noise or Polygon maps...

13. "Ant" - decent paint, good hull and turret. It be successfully used for a long time, but needs some "how to survive" skill again. ;) Not so good for Polygon.

 

If I were you, I would probably choose #4 or #9.

Edit: One more thing. If you want to have more crystals, slow down your progress. Do only daily missions and change those which grant you supplies only (the first change is for free, not worth to pay for more). I understand that you want to play actually, but... You can create more accounts, experiment there with new weapons and use your experience to spend crystals on the main account as efficiently as possible. If you rush, you end up with a small amount of crystals, a weak tank and high rank.
