What to buy? Which is better?

[r_I_already_won0 2,339]

Rico impact and DPS is still great but not that OP as before.

 

Should I buy Freeze or Hammer or Ricochet this sale. Freeze is really OP but I have no experience with it, so yea Im in a dilemma.

IMO the turrets are balanced, and even if they weren't you shouldn't just choose the one that's OP.  It's all a matter of personal preference.  Which one's playstyle do you like the best?  If you have long range turrets maybe try hammer and freeze for a change.  If you have rail and fire maybe try mid-range Rico for a change.  

[imic_EN 15]

First of all, the freeze effect is practically useless against fast-turning turrets like twins and firebird.  If you turn your turret and hull, you can keep up with the freeze easily.  m3 turrets and hulls turn so fast...

 

Also, 840 damage is the exact same as firebird.  And twins does 880 per second, which is even more than freeze.

 

And the range is 25 meters at m4, not 48. The alteration doesn't increase the total range, only the max damage range, which is something different.

 

Firebird is better in attacking, freeze is better in defending.

its freezes now X4 times faster and the alteration increases range and decrease the attacking cone.

i think you're talking about freeze before rebalance , yeah it was bad and can barely freeze

[r_I_already_won0 2,339]

^ No I'm not.  I'm talking about freeze now, which is perfectly balanced with firebird.  I make it a habit to memorize m4 statistics.  The alteration doesn't increase range, it increase *range of max damage* which is something different.  That's the range at which freeze does it's max damage.  The alteration has no effect on the overall range of freeze.  Even now, firebird and twins can follow a freeze around when it's circling no problem. The damage is still less than twins.

it got badly nerfed in the update...

By the way, how do you calculate the effectiveness of mixed modules? Say, Kodiak T-A. It has Thunder/Rail/Fire.

 

Currently its 10/15, but will 15/15 makes a difference? (Mostly using it for Vulcan anyways.)

 

And where is Smoky protection placed? Gradual or..?

 

For mixed modules I usually check both.

For this particial module I would check the number of shots I survive vs a Thunder, vs a Railgun. Those would be more interresting to me. If I see the additional MUs dont give me an advantage (I won't survive an additional shot) then I can still upgrade it in order to save me from the Vulcans afterburn.. but the increase in protection would be for vain if a Railgunn starts to snipe me from some corner.

 

I quickly checked a Titan M4/ Viking M4 -vs- Rail M4 and Thunder M4.. it seems that those additional 5% protection will get you no real benefit. 45% is already very, very fine and upgrading it to 50% will not help you more.

And I guess no railgunner that reads your protection will shoot at you if he finds an easier target, except he equips DP.

 

@Smoky

 

 

 

For Smoky it depends strongly on the hull you use.

If a smoky threatens my Wasp I have to use the [Nr. Of shots] model. Reason in Spoiler.

 

 

I do this, as with Smoky>vs>my Wasp the biggest threat it means to me, is when the Smoky comes close and keeps me rocking around. Then I need to find some obstacle like a small house, and run around it until my reload is complete, and then try to shot him. As my Wasp has low HP and he (on this close range) has max damage, I count the shots I can survive.

 

 

 

For a Viking M4 - or even more for a Titan M4 - camping at the side of Polygon and spraying the battlefield with Vulcan, you can use the gradual model and live with a sligthly estimation error for the smoky usecase.

 

 

The Smoky will most likely hit you with lower damage (because it will be further away) and keeps pounding your constantly (as you can not simply hide and you have no reload anyways). There you can take the easier gradual model, which is not absolutely correct for this usecase - but truely good enough.

The rank where you have amazing equipment, have tons of crystals which you don't need atm, and everybody else is drugging like crazy.

[T-34-3m 360]

It's a very niché role. Somewhere in between Dictator-Rail and Titan-Thunder.

I was asking what rank I should start stockpiling supplies.

I am trying to buy new m3 turret but which one is better for mid and big maps?

 

please tell me your ideas thx :D

[Tofu 6,773]

Ricochet is a better m3 weapon in my opinion

[r_I_already_won0 2,339]

Personal Preference. They are balanced.

 

Twins is better against hammer, freeze, firebird, isida. 

 

Ricochet is better against smoky, rail, thunder, shaft.

Topic merged.

[T.O.R_Vlad 8]

Topic merged.

why do you keep saying ''Topic merged?''

[DESTROYER_13 1,019]

why do you keep saying ''Topic merged?''

Somebody made a new topic, which was not needed. He then put it in here, a more relevant place, rather than keeping the new topic open. (I think)

I have rico m2 hunter m2 and around 300k crys (been saving for a loooong time for an m3 kit)  I am major rank

but now because of rebalance that will take a while, so do you think I should get freeze or fire m2 right now??

[nikisboss1 3]

Plz plz plz answer ASAP

[Jwimmer 2,835]

Right now, I can buy any M3 turret. I have a personal discount on shaft, so it is dirt cheap, but that is the only real price difference.

 

I already have thunder, fire, and twins m3, along with viking and hornet m3. I am really debating between rail, fire, shaft, and vulcan right now.

Fire. It will be stronger further into the higher mid-ranks.
