What to buy? Which is better?

[rocketmonkey2015 61]

Lot's of people are asking about what to buy when they finally get an m2 kit. Once you get an m2 kit, you dont need to buy any more m2's. That one kit should be good enough to take you through the m2 stage and once you buy it, you should start saving to get your first m3 kit.

That's not true. Before the rebalance, you could maybe do this. But now, you have to wait 6-10 ranks till you can get your first m3. Only if you have one of the best m2 kits (Atlas, Norherner, Minotaur, Ram, Firewall or Firebolt) that target is achievable. With these kits you can fight against m3s.

Actually, you should only stick with one m2 combo so you have enough to buy an m3 kit at lieutenant Colonel.

It costs 205,985 and unlocks at Captain, but you can get it up until colonel. 

 

For the future the wiki is a great resource.

You can get it up to Brigadier, but the wiki article on kits is outdated.  It doesn't reflect the new change that moved all m3's to Marshal unlock.

Asking again... between Juggler and firewall what is better?

Note that I play Poly CP when i can, other maps that i play are Rio CTF and DMs, usually kungur. any other map if mission says so

M3 kits are now (after the rebalance) available from the rank of lieutenant general. If you are talking about m2/m3 kits, I think they disappeared or moved to the same unlock rank with the other m3 kits. That's why you need good m2s to last you till that rank.

What M2(s) would help me get to Marshall?

 

I don't use Fire/Freeze/Isida/Twins/Vulcan.

The crystals you spent on buying those "Good M2s" (I take it you mean I should buy another hull besides m2 hornet or another turret besides m2 freeze), could be saved and used to upgrade your m3 as soon as you get it.  In the long run those crystals pay off a lot more as MU's on your m2 are instantly rendered worthless once you acquire that m3.  However, MU's on your m3 are permanent. I guess you will just have to bear the discomfort until you get your first m3 combination.

I didn't say it's impossible to reach m3s with freeze and hornet, it is just more difficult. Additionaly, I think the crystal difference between m2 kits isn't so big. I bought minotaur for 160k (without the module) and stinger costs 120k. With minotaur you can earn double xp-crystals in a polygon cp than a stinger. That means that you take your money back, especially when ranks increase. I can now earn 2 crystals per xp, so when I reach Lieutenant General, I will have 1 million crystals, enough to buy an m3 kit and MU it. Finally, I think that now, mid-ranked players have to create a long saving plan. The cost of a good m2 kit isn't anything if you compare it to the savings we will have when we reach m3 ranks. But, who knows what tanki is planning for us.

Ok, challenge accepted.:) The problem is that I don't play as much as you (I wish I could) and I will reach Marshal after 2 years. :(

[fordmustang12345 3,910]

Is my new Glaze kit (Viking M2/Hammer M2) enough to last through the mid ranks?

I know Viking M2 is amazing but do I need a better turret?

 

Since buying that kit (1 week ago) I have made 70k

not really. hammer M2 is fairly good. But since all M3 kits unlock at Lieutenant General i would suggest getting another M2 kit just to keep from getting bored with Hammer . Probably something Long Range

I want to buy one M2 kit and then save up for an m3 kit as soon as possible. What kit should I buy? I was thinking either Tornado, anaconda , abigorne, or mosquito. After an M2 kit, what m3 kit is good to save up for? I play lots of battles on poly cp, rio ctf, noise ctf.

Or Grizzly T-J for larger maps.

[wolverine848 13,097]

Or Grizzly T-J for larger maps.

This would be for smaller maps like Polygon, Noise, Silence, Sandbox and Tribute.

 

And ones with lots of hiding places like Industrial Zone where ambushes are abundant.
