What to buy? Which is better?

Is rico m2 worth? And is it a good pick with dictator?

Is rico m2 worth? And is it a good pick with dictator?

Any turret can be deadly in the right hands (see Ricochet guide). I'd say that Ricochet & Dictator is a good combination for catching gold boxes and overall gameplay.

sure tips on rico id appreciate. i know the angles will be trial and error to learn

 

as for deciding solely based on protections- - - i am not convinced.

 

I mean, i have fire.WHICH IS A MUST at high levels. I Have ISIDA which is a MUST. Twins Is also powerful. So what I'm actually finding now, like you say for thunder. Some of my good guns already meet quite a bit of protects ... I have smoky but smoky is really bad in my opinion. I might be bad with it.. but meh. As for rail, I suck at rail, even if it has good alts.

This topic is best as asking such questions so I hope our fellow tankers will help you out with your decision. :)

wait for halloween

[Prince_Of_Railgun290 320]

I don't know, Firebird seems pretty irrelevant in the high tier meta which is dominated by Rico, Thunder, Isida, Magnum . . . and the occasional Railgun or Smoky. You will ten times over before you reach the target and then die after you've reached the target.

Yeah smoky was my favourite turret at the m2 ranks but once i got it m3 it just didnt compare to my thunder, unless i was constantly drugging, but on constant drugs any turret is good. The one advantage smoky has is that because of its weak damage, people dont really take protection against it, so the rapid fire 900+ damage shots on DD can really pack a punch, especially with the 1700 damage crit.

The reason i was considering rico is because it brings the benefits of a very versatile turret,like smoky but stronger, and with fewer modules against it than thunder.

Thunder might be best at max range, but for long range maps ill just use rail m3 (getting it in halloween), and all 3 overlap at mid range, so maybe the short range capabilities of rico give it the edge over the other 2.

Im pretty happy with my set of modules right now, prodigi lcg is a very versatile module for just about any medium or long range map. for close range maps ill use my Badger T-F m3 (fire freeze twins) which is also great.

Ive already got twins as my short range weapon, but its annoying to use twins when alterations are off, so getting isida or fire is also another plan of mine.

  

just forget about tornado; it's not even that good a deal, the paint doesn't camouflage anywhere yet it takes up most of the price of the kit

you can get m2 railgun, m2 hornet, and any m2 triple module of your choice for an even lower price at the coming 50% off sale. with tornado you pay about 30k more for the same combo but a module you can't decide and a useless paint.

  

Ricco has better range than twins and can deal a lot of damage quickly.

 

However, if Ricco can't kill target with one magazine it gets in trouble. 

Twins never has to re-load so has advantage when heavy hulls involved and when protection involved.

hammer dead at higher ranks

[Legendary-For-LifeXD 0]

Should I get smoky kits or railgunkits

[TheAncientMariner 57]

        hammer dead at higher ranks

not true. its very good with supplies and both alterations, especially due to lack of modules against it.

[GuidoFawkes 2,361]

agreed, if theyre proteced against thunder you can be almost sure they arent protected against hammer. The only module that protects against both is spectrum.

 

i have hammer friends who always equip thunder at the start of the match just for show and then quickly change to hammer.

don't forget the africa module, thunder twins hammer vulcan

almost all old legends have it, and usually fully MUd

lol i did foeget about that, but that is something i have never ever seen outside of legend battles.

[21985_the_master 422]

How is Magnum M1?

[Vegas 960]

What better Titan thunder or titan twins ?

[21985_the_master 422]

I prefer thunder because it makes more splash damage!!!

[I-Hate-Druggers 192]

Magnum makes more splash damage. Both is good in your and my rank but magnum wins in higher ranks.

 

Wait so one of you mentioned that rico dominates high tier meta. But I was in the impression that rico was a rare sight.

What better Titan thunder or titan twins ?

Titan twins at your rank.

[vulcanrage 22]

Can someone tell me what the rico splash damage is wigh that alt. so lets say its either fully mu d to 400 what is splash damage? what percentage? is that alt worth getting even without rico maybe at times its good i want splash damage anyways why i was considering getting thunder. but maybe rico is good with both alts if good sale 119000 + 75 000 

[Sid2910 48]

I've got 32k, M1-Isida,Smoky,Railgun,Firebird and Viking. What do I do? Save up for an M2 or buy M1 thunder/Dictator

[I-Hate-Druggers 192]

Agreed. I don’t know why people use it.

[Hate 5,582]

It's negligible, don't bother.

I wouldn't say so, that is how I was first as well till I actually started using it more and more. Now days, I don't play a single battle without  using that alteration and one of my favourite moments is when couple enemies are right next to each other healing themselves, just shoot one of them and everyone else will get equally damaged. In DM when 2 freezes get close to each other trying to finish themselves, simply that is when I get double kills while maintaining my distance. 

[Andrewhero100 65]

I currently have 350k crystals. Which M3 kit should I buy/save up for? I'm currently looking at ones with Viking M3 (Twins, Thunder, Smoky, Jackhammer). Thunder is one of my favorite turrets but I'm not sure if it's too good at M3.

[I-Hate-Druggers 192]

If you want viking go Jackhammer or master of taiga. Yes thunder protections are too high.

[I-Hate-Druggers 192]

@Hate but you must realize that this also means if someone gets in your face you are doomed. Its kind of like how you can get doubles with twins but it almosy never happens and makes twins useless. Maybe rico is different I don’t know. But it is not worth 100k.

[GuidoFawkes 2,361]

i just bought raiden kit from the garage today. yes, almost everyone has protection from it but the fun part is that there is no module that protects from thunder and magnum or thunder and hammer, so... I'm just gonna change to magnum if someone with thunder protection gets up my arse and vice versa when i use magnum. most people at high ranks are used to facing thunder while being protected so suddenly having to fight thunder after removing their thunder protection always catches them unprepared.

I remember hearing about a battle some clan mates played in. 3 of them were hammer, 2 were magnum and 1 was shaft. the enemy team thought it was the time to put their griffon TGs they got from weekend giveawya 4 into perfect use... after most of the enemy team changed to that module all 6 of my clan mates changed to thunder!

just can go ahead and get tunder if you always play with friends who use hammer.
