What to buy? Which is better?


 Share

Recommended Posts

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.

What about rio?I have dictator m2 and i can o the peekaboo to stay hidden...so i don't get killed around that much.Also at my rank dictator is pretty decent.I might need titan fir titan/fire island battles where i need a heavy hull. :)

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

Wise choice! 

 

And yes its pretty much like that I suppose  :P

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

 

I think a Smoky kit would last you longer than Anaconda. I don't like Hammer, but if you do you could get a Hammer kit instead I guess. But I wouldn't get Anaconda if I were you. Save up for Northerner or something like that.

M3/M3+

 

Mammoth+Hammer - rate this combo

I think you could do well on a wise choice of maps. Once I saw a Titan Hammer in a Madness DM (You know how that went), so don't use it on large maps obviously.

Oh... sorry - I missed that you have Dictator M2.  The yes, Atlas is probably good choise as you don't need two medium M2 hulls.

 

You may also consider not even buying a kit - unless the early unlock and/or module is attracting you to it. They are expensive and you could get by until M3 with a medium hull - they are versatile.  Getting smoky (by itself) on a sale day is an option.

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.

I would go with Viking for Thunder. I have Dictator M1, and it is slightly difficult to drive in cramped spaces, as well as being a very large target with not a lot of speed. Viking is very low profile, and has better speed and stability than Dictator. Plus Viking M1 is much cheaper than Dictator M1. I wish I had bought Viking M1 rather than Dictator M1 because Dictator does not have the speed to do well in larger maps, and not enough armor for smaller maps so I don't find myself using it a lot now. Viking is much more versatile.

I am going to buy Annihilator kit soon, (Thunder M2 Viking M2) over Simoom (Thunder M2 Dictator M2) for those reasons.

I need a longer range weapon for the gameplay to be fun,and also its cheaper for me to buy the whole kit in shop instead of saving up till i have enough...crystals are very expensive unless i have a double crystal card.Also i just got a double crystal card and i am wondering how much crystals i will get with a 40 dollar gift card?

Smoky is only a "longer range" weapon when compared to Firebird or Freeze, etc.  It is not good at long distances - the 10% "weak damage" is terrible.

 

It's only cheaper to buy the whole kit if you need 2 or 3 of the components. Your dictator M2 will serve you until you get to M3 Kit stages.

Unless you desperately want the Titan, it will be cheaper for you to buy just the Turret - when a sale comes.... sometime in Feb I think.

 

With you at Lt. Colonel now perhaps part of the incentive to get the Atlas is early unlock at Lt. General?

I need it now I'm soon bored :D Also i might need titan in island and arena battles which.Also me and my friends always do heavy hull RFG and they all use mammoth m1...Titan m2 is quite a bit faster i think. :lol:

If you want a longer range turret, I would go for Thunder or Rail. Smoky is a slightly more medium range turret. Both Thunder or Rail go well with Dictator.

thunder M2 or hammer M2 

Hammer m2 is more fun to play with and thunder m2 has barely any difference than m1.Also if you have drugs you can 1 shot all light hulls with DD..

If you really want Titan, then I guess you can get Atlas. Smoky M2 is very good don't get me wrong, but it is more medium range than other turrets you could get.

Really? I have never liked Hammer, although I only have M0. You can one shot light hulls with Thunder on DD too with a few MU's. What is your experience with Hammer?

I hate sniper because of the little amount of maps you can play on and also rail m2 has no difference than m1.Thunder i hate because of the same reason...no difference between m1 and m2.

I agree with you about the lack of maps you can play on with snipers. You do have a point about the little difference between M1 and M2 of both Thunder and Rail, so I guess you should buy Smoky. Smoky has a huge difference between M1 and M2 as far as I have seen.

Interesting, I might have to try Hammer out now. Is it better than Thunder because I was thinking about getting Annihilator kit.

Hmm. I might have to buy Fireworks kit now. Yesterday I had a lot of fun in a Highways CTF with my Freeze. I got behind the buildings in the enemy base with my Wasp and then just popped out and killed all of the campers. Hammer + Hornet would be perfect for that.

What hull do you use on your low accounts with Hammer?
