What to buy? Which is better?

[wolverine848 13,097]

I have not been on in the past year.

My question still stands, even more so now with all these changes.

Any help is appreciated.

Best to make a goal for the near future.  Identify a kit (or items) that are an upgrade on what you have and save for them.

 

Kits are desired because they 1) Give early unlock 2) have a discount 3) give a protection module and 4) give some free supplies.

Buy a kit if you want AT LEAST the turret and hull and use supplies or find the protection module useful. And also if you find early unlock beneficial.

 

However, if you only care about turret & hull it may be better to buy those items separately on a sale - you will need to compare the sale vs kit price.

 

If you can compete (earn crystals at a ratio of 1:1 vs experience) with what you have now you may want to stick with what you have and save for the better (later) kit. Especially if better kit has items you are currently enjoying at lower M-level.

 

Once you are having a difficult time earning crystals then you need to re-evaluate.

 

To sum up my long-winded answer... stick with what you like until you find it too difficult to earn crystals.

I mean, you've already got Vampire kit... just buy Railgun M1 later, then go for Mosquito. You'll be fine.

 

EDIT - Oh, btw, don't use White paint unless you're in a Winter map, it shows you really easily. Camouflage paints like Forester, Urban, Savanna or Metallic help a lot, surprisingly.

For my @NewbieCupcake account, I'm considering M2 Smoky. But I am unsure if I should get it. Currently on that account I have about 180k crystals, and can easily make about 30k before the sales (provided I rank up). Should I do it?

 

Current M2s:

Shaft

Isida (garbage)

Railgun (garbage)

Twins

Mammoth

Viking

Dictator

Jackhammer Kit

Paladin Kit

 

Jackhammer:

I like hammer, not sure if it is a good m3

Viking is a MUST

The paint is awesome

Not sure what the module is

 

Paladin:

Smoky is supposed to be a pretty OP m3

Same as above for viking

I like the other paint better

Same as above for the module

I mean if this is for this account, you have a long way to go before m3s. I would think of an m2 kit for now, and m3s as you rank around captain 

[asifmak 467]

Titan m3 or hammer m3 ?

Smoky m3 plus a secret module confirmed..

Any advice will be much appreciated.

Considering looks both kits are uber cool.

Hammer is powerful to use in dms and small maps ,in mid to large map u may suffer.

But the biggest advantage is people wear lesser ptotection modules against this as compared to other turrets ,damage is quite high for m3.

Smoky is the most versatile turret of all time paired with viking u can use it in almost all the Maps without hesitation.

Sad to say but u can see more protection module against it in battlefield and after sale this percentage will definately go up.

But i will definately recommend u to buy smoky first as it is must have after some mues proction against this will not bother u much.

After that u can go for hammer

Im planning to get Firebolt + Railgun M2 for sales

I can get FW format and xpbp. Good choice?

[Ninja 10,468]

Yes, IF devs don't remove kits during sales which is what usually happens.

Titan- Best for small maps. You already have Freeze and Thunder which pretty much rules out the purpose of Hammer I might say...

hammer looks attractive anyways i will go with titan now

[CrimsonComet 15]

So the sale is coming and the kits that came up are so god damn bad. (Firebolt,Vesivius,Pitbull,Mountain) I have about 160k crystals.I plan on buying:

1. Thunder M2

2. Ricochet M2

3. Hunter/Dictator M2

4. "Night" paint (this one isn't changing whatsoever, most important piece of the puzzle :3)

Any objections ?

I don't think you need to get any more M2's, as you already have quite enough. A module wouldn't be out of the question, but I think you should just save for M3s. (and rail's not that bad, surely? besides you can play DR with it) 

[Motortrend 5]

I'm looking at all these high-rank tankers here and I'm wondering if what I buy at M1 ranks even matters. LOL

 

Vulcan 

• Love it's range, it deals quite a bit of damage at medium-range.
• Gyroscope is like an aimbot, can keep shooting without any obstruction from ricochet or smoky (high-impact guns)
• DPS is pretty nice, they nerfed it I believe but it's still half-decent. ~300 D/S at M1. 
• Ideal for suppressing fire, I play FPS games and love LMG-spraying, so naturally I find comfort in this minigun turret

Ricochet

• Really nice DPS (again), higher than smoky and twins which are pretty common at M1 ranks
• Impact force is really annoying to those railguns that are so common (again)
• Never saw the point to the Ricochet rounds, could never use it too effectively.

Hammer

• I don't like it, railgun damage without railgun range, and just 3 shots per clip. Deadly against hornets/wasps though.
• I'm looking at the Tsunami kit which has the Badger T-F Module, protection against Fire/Freeze/Twins which are the most prominent CQB killers. Plus the fire protection will prove useful for Vulcan lovers.

If anyone actually cares to reply to a newb like me... how much are the discounts for Christmas? I've got about 40,000 Crystals I think I can buy 3-4 M1s that I don't have (All I have are Cupid kit and Smoky M1)

[Tofu 6,773]

Wasp or fire m3?

[misafeco 713]

Don't buy all M1s. You'll need money after you reach Liutenant ranks to buy M2s. 2-3 is more than enough. Personally I only have 1 M1 turret (Vulcan) & 1 M1 hull (Titan). If you like Vulcan you definitely need to get M1. It's amazing even if the shorter time before overheating and the lower damage made it ~25% weaker.

[bkn289 6]

Okay, not to be biased since I chose hammer out of those three for Halloween, but in my opinion hammer is better. It is basically a smoky with more damage, the range is higher than any other short range turrets, and combined with viking it is deadly. Basing this on my experience:

 

2 shots for wasp/hornet

3 shots for dictator, viking, hunter if you micro upgrade it once (otherwise it is 4 shots: just mu it once its only like 100 cry).

4 shots for titan and mammoth

 

I seriously considered vulcan on that Halloween sale, I got hammer instead. I don't know how effective vulcan is.

 

Ricochet is pretty good, if you know how to use it. Although twins would be a better choice against larger hulls, if you play in larger maps go for the rico. The projectile speed and range is pretty good, and you can dominate. I got it on my other account, and I played on that halloween map. I DOMINATED :P

 

------------------------------------------------------

 

If you have 40k, you should probably get a kit though. If the sales are good enough, you might be able to get siberian kit. It is pretty great (not like I have it, but i've played in battles with it.), and is almost always first in battle. 

 

It depends on whether you like short range or not

[Tofu 6,773]

Wasp or fire m3?

[Total_SkiIl 1,983]

80k here, will if I play regularly be able to buy Simoom? (if not, then i have contests then :) )

if you want Thunder M2 or Dictator M2 why not just get Simoom and get both?

Smoky is a good turret. And Freeze is a buffed turret. I would say wait and save. You are a minimum of two rankups away from getting into the M2 realm.

[HAPPSHOT 2,029]

Guys what to buy? viking m2 or dicktator m2?

[GeeVuh 1,647]

Yes, IF devs don't remove kits during sales which is what usually happens.

Wat. No they don't... I bought Firefly on Advy last Halloween... It's usually circles in the worst kits though <_<
