What to buy? Which is better?

[moose8888m 0]

paired with smoky? I would say... Viking=40%, Titan=35% and Hunter=25%. Rough estimate.

 

Depends on the Battle-mode and map.

Smaller maps like Polygon, Noise, and tiny ones like ping-pong, Island, Arena I use Titan. You need the health due to constant attacks.

For medium and large maps I use Viking - the extra speed makes for a lot better flexibility.

 

For DMs I use Titan more often. Same with CP that has only one or 2 capture points - you need health to survive long enough to capture.

For medium CP maps I use Viking.

For large CP maps I use Hornet - allows me to get to each point faster.

 

Hope this helps.

Yes that helped a lot. Thank you for detailing the situations each hull can excel in. I haven't used Smoky very much, because I didn't like M1 when I bought it, so that really helped me to know what hulls in certain situations would work best. Thanks a lot! Edited January 6, 2017 by moose8888m

M2 is great - especially if you can obtain at or before unlock rank.

 

FYI - it is not really a long-range turret. Sure every 5th shot (on average) will be wicked because there is no distance penalty on critical. However, the other 4/5 shots are just tickles because of the 10% weak damage.

 

It works best at short-to-medium range and in situations where you can keep opponent under continuous fire. Trading shots (a-la-peek-a-boo) with Rail and Thunder will result in the smoky losing - all else being equal.

Yes, M2 Smoky is probably the best M2 as of now. I've got it 41/50 on @NotANewb. It's pretty much infallible at that rank.

You have a Smoky-M2 at WO5?

You mean your smoky is M1 with 41/50 MUs making it almost M2?  (that's expensive upgrades...)

 

Earliest unlock possible for Smoky M2 is Atlas or Northerner or Aborigine. You have to be... Captain I believe.

Very nearly... :P Without buying. It was mainly just TTC and only-missions grinding.

Currently sitting on 300k at WO5. Gonna buy glaze in February and then mosquito. Good idea? Then imma get the hammer alteration for more shots, and maybe the other one as well that does more damage since I tried it in Test servers and really enjoyed it. Should I go this path?

Get the Pitbull kit and the alteration at Third Lieutenant. Then buy a buncha drugs and MU ur hammer. That's the path I plan to take.

Good on Island. :)

As same as some combos too, but some combos that don't greatly fit with most of maps actually are awesome on other maps.

I guess with the 5 shot clip it would be good on really small maps (Island, as stated above) and maybe even Farm and Magadan.

Hey guys, should I buy Anaconda kit right now or save for a Hammer M2/Smoky M2 kit later? 

[seekNDstroy_divine 0]

I have finally finished upgrading my thunder to m1. Now I want to buy a hull to go with it. My pick is dictator m1 but i want to have other opinions on this.

Viking represents the best value.

Guys i have a dictator m2/firebird m2,and i need another good kit from the shop...long range to medium range.Thinking of atlas or northerner but already have m2 medium hull.I can spend up to 50 dollars.

my personal opinion would be to get the Hunter/Smoky M2 kit (dico M2 gets out classed fairly quick once you reach higher ranks) but I'd say overall get Atlas and then something for extremely long range Edited January 9, 2017 by fordmustang12345

When it comes to buying kits you must keep in mind, how do you play in battles are you more of a supportive player, an attacker or a defender?

What type of maps do you play and consider each of your roles in each battle and maps. Or do you have a preferred hull or turret? Do you prefer going fast or slow? 

 

And as well for each or your roles like attacking you must also think about when you attack an enemy base what kind of turrets would you find most likely defending so you can buy protection modules most suiting your game of style..

 

There is so much to think about it. 

 

Good luck!

I am a midfielder mostly and sometimes at the perfect moments an attacker...defending is boring for me and i barely defend unless i am on the losing team.My favorite maps are Noise CTF,Polygon CP,Arena CP,Madness DM and CTF,Industrial Zone CTF or TDM,Sandbox CTF.I have been playing on these maps from third lieutenant and it gets very boring with the same maps...I would like to play some Year 2042 CTF,Serhupov CTF,Silence CTF,Esplanade CTF,and Kunger CTF.The reason i can't play on these maps is that i only have fire      m2/dic m2 right now and cant play on longer range maps.

I have one m2 module against thunder,freeze,and fire.I prefer using fire in small maps because mine is now 35/50 and with both alterations.I think smokey would help me out a lot since playing with a short range turret gets very boring sometimes even when your DL in a battle is 85.00 :D(i got this on a poly cp with drugs)Since you seem like a seasoned player maybe you could advise me on my next step to the M3s'.

 

 

P.s,i am a buyer but i have only spent 25 dollars so far...But i am planning to buy an m3 kit at lieutenant general,maybe paladin or some other one i will enjoy using.The kit i will buy right now or somewhere this week will be probably under 40 dollars.Maybe Atlas.

I must be honest I have spent far more than 25 dollars since I dropped from than 550 gold boxes! 

 

If you want to move up to bigger maps I recommend railgun or smoky since both are versatile guns!

Ok I'm buying atlas :) Just because the m2 railgun sucks compared to m1.Both are the same.Also you do realize dropping gold boxes for people is like going to a mall and throwing dollar bills at people? :D

Something to keep in mind with bigger maps like Kunger and Esplanade... if you don't like defending you might want to choose medium hull over heavy hull.  Titan is not great for getting to good midfield positions. You may find it too slow.

 

Hunter or Viking might be better for getting to midfield firing positions. Titan is better on Noise, Polygon, Tribute and anywhere you can defend without moving too far.
