What to buy? Which is better?

[maryam98 1,171]

rail is useful mostly for XP/BP because to be somewhat efficient with it you need the High Caliber Ammo alteration

I'd recommend you ranking up as soon as possible and getting Hunter M2 on the next sale (which is in the first week of June) or you could rank up slowly and get Viking M2 during another sale 

if you want to use ONLY Isida and a medium hull until Marshal then it's ok to MU the combo (1-2 MU at every sale and without paying for speed ups)

if this isn't the case I think you should save for an M3 kit after buying an M2 medium hull

Yeah, I'm thinking of getting viking or hunter and saving for medic kit (isida and viking m3)

Hi helpers, I got the HUGE problems in this game. I have only one m2s that is hornet, and I have 7 m1s and they are railgun, firebird, vulcan, shaft, smoky, viking and mammoth. And now I'm trying to buy railgun m2, but I have 45k. I know that It's too DIFFICULT for me to buy it. I don't like to buy any foolish thing, not even upgrading my turrets and hulls. I don't have pro pass though. Whenever I started to play in any map, the ****ty bull**** druggers attacks me!! I couldn't finish first 1st in a battle and I always get less crystals like more than 200. You konw that I can't buy any kit in this situation. Just tell me which turret should I buy? Railgun m2 or any other m2? Give me the way that i can play this game easily.

Buy rail m2. Tanki's b-day is cming in two weeks and there will be 50% sale. Rail m2 costs 96k so it will cost you 48k at sale. Then since you have hornet m2, buy pro pass for 3k and then you can play xp/bp fornat where drugs are off and you will get good score and crystals then you will be able to buy other m2s.

Is this a best way? Btw, I would like to buy drugs after buying rail m2.

dont buy drugs, like @ptcl says, play xp/bp no drugs so you waste less money

You spent way too much on M1s. 

[ptcl 116]

No, drugs are not useful if you are not hardcore buyer. You will find plenty of polygon cp xp/bp battles in server 1 and 2 which will grant you good crystals (speaking from experience). Then you can buy other m2s like twins or firebird and then play non supply polygon cp or island cp or hill ctf which gives good amount of crystals.

 

Anyways, that is my opinion, let's see if other people agree with me or not.

Stay for the sales in June for Tanki Bday, You can get railgun m2 (if u wanna play an XP career ahead) 

Lets hope for a 50% sale :)

Quite right

[wolverine848 13,097]

Yeah, I'm thinking of getting viking or hunter and saving for medic kit (isida and viking m3)

medic is a pretty decent Kit to get at M3 - nice medium hull and Isida is now decent at getting kills.

 

You used to be able to get a discount on the price of a kit if you MU-ed the lower version of an item all the way to what kit offers. not sure if that still in effect.

 

In any event, even if you stick with Isida for M2 and then M3, you may want another M2 turret - one with some range. else you will be limited in your role on many maps. And if opponents have isida protection module you will be in trouble.

So maybe I should get the minotoaur kit when i have money, as that would give me a good hull and an alternate gun?

Minotaur is a good kit, and it's not that expensive, but you may also need an alteration for Twins (depending on the kind of maps that you prefer)

True, how much is the m2 'noob' splash damage alt?

It's M1 so it costs only 50k (but you should still try to buy it on a sale)

[maryam98 1,171]

Yeah maybe I shouldn't get it I only have 100k still

Save it until you are sure of what you want.

I'm not planning on buying anything for a little, just want to know what the best options are

With the frequency of changes the Devs implement, unfortunately, by the time you have the funds - the specific advice we give now could be waaaaaay out of date.

 

In general, you will want at least two M2 turrets and at least one M2 hull (preferably medium = flexible) before getting M3 stuff.

Having a second M2 hull would be useful (if you can afford it and still be on track to buy M3 at early unlock).

[MJROCKS05 428]

Do you think I should MU my isida m2 to m3? it is is my only m2 and the gun I use most. Usually I play in polygon cp, healing people from the tunnel

U should Isida M3 is OP (highest DPS in the game) I even take out titan m3's without drugging at all in a single charge. Its bad for the people who dont knw how to play with it. Isida is good in all maps becuz u can heal with it and especially strong in small maps.Im telling u go for m3

And what about hulls I've still only got hunter m1

[MJROCKS05 428]

Yup thats a big problem... U need an m2 hull at ur rank and that to ASAP... Like the others said, get an alternative turret preferably a short-mid ranged one (Rico, twins, thunder) to support ur isida. But get them in a kit, dont buy them seperately at all. Buy Minotaur if u have the crystals,it will give u a good hull for isida and also an OP twins m2

I only have 100k. Just ranked so have some time but still I'm not well off.

Hello fellow tankers once again!  Thank you DarknessAssasin123, atharva.s.jadhav, and sg97 for your pieces of advice!

 

Anyways, I've kept thinking and playing until I realized that, well, I simply need a new turret for my "N3tralRE" account (and I do have a lower ranked alternate account to spend some time practicing).  Smoky has been a good combat turret in battle for me in mid-ranged scuffles, and I am also happy to heal with Isida and provide offensive support via Shaft; however, I think one more combat turret will help cure me of boredom as I climb the vast rank ladder.

 

As for what turrets I'm considering, they go as follows:

 

 

Railgun: Interesting gun, though not sure if I really settle with its firing pattern.

 

Vulcan: Yes! I've been itching for some machine gun in Tanki!  [Also to note is that I've played around with Vulcan before and am a bit familiar with it.]

 

Freeze: Short range is limited, but freezing is useful in CTF, so I'll consider it.  [Plus, as I said in an earlier post, I know short-range blowdryer gameplay from using Firebird in earlier ranks].  Then again, it is a bit outclassed by Firebird and Isida in terms of damage per second.

 

Everything else: Sorry, but I just don't feel inclined to those turrets.

 

 

 

If I am to get another turret, what are my best options?

Thanks once again for your help!

My alt is  and it has 14k crystals, should I buy keeper kit and upgrade it slowly to m2, or wait for another kit?
