What to buy? Which is better?

[r_I_already_won0 2,339]

hi guys what m2 kit is better ram kit (twins and titan m2) or atlas kit (smoky titan m2) and please look at what protection module is best in m2 games because im torn between the kits but i think the protection module could be the answer

Ram if you have enough to get the Twins long-range alteration (you can buy the alteration on the Xmas sale, but keep in mind kits do not go on sale), otherwise Atlas.

 

Currently some might argue that Ram is better since you can make the choice to play on maps more suited to close-range combat, but when matchmaking comes out all that goes out the window.

Smoky and Ricco are too similar.  Ricco better overall so if you are planning Ricco/Viking buy Thunder as a secondary turret for camping and/or long distances.  The 50% weak damage is much better than Smoky 10% weak damage.

You sure? I've heard thunder is OP in polygon PRO-battles or similar maps with supplies off bc of the splash damage, but is it really effective in NON-PRO battles with players ranked from marshal to legend? (Well, I guess I'll be using Rico or Isida in NON-PRO battles for now anyways :p)

Should I buy minotaur or should I just buy firebolt + railgun. I really don't know if I wanna play only normal battles till m3 ranks or if I also want to do xp/bp battles. What should u guys advice? I was thinking if I don't buy minotaur I will probably buy raiden/paladin. And if I buy minotaur i'll probably buy Touche.

So Minotaur --> Touche

Firebolt + railgun --> Raiden/Paladin

 

So which one?

Was just trying to indicate you don't need both Ricco M3 and Smoky M3. They are used within similar ranges of effectiveness so are somewhat redundant.

 

Can't say with certainty that Thunder is as effective in Normal battles, but stands to reason the DD applied to splash will cause lots of damage overall. Of course it needs to be MU-ed as you rank up, and some have complained there is a lot of Thunder Protection out there.

[Imok-Urok 67]

In higher ranks, is Twins or Smoky more effective? Which of the two are more protected against? 

 

I have some MU's on both, but need to concentrate more on one than the other, at the moment. Both are M1's.

Twins with alterations is a killer and decent without them. Smoky was hit by the nerf hammer but it is still competitive in m opinion. I think the general consensus is that Twins > Smoky, but I prefer Smoky because of the range.

I was just in a battle against mostly Mammoths. I'd like to go with Smoky, but my damage was only 180 - 250 without DD, but the stats say I should be getting 292 - 454. With DD I saw the 300 - 400 range and on rare occasions low 500's. I didn't try to use Twins because with the crowded area (Noise blue) my shots would have been wasted on my teammates. After shooting a Mammoth 7 times at close range, he just turned his turret, sneezed at me and went about his business. He didn't have protection against Smoky. 

 

I'll have to take Twins into a good  battle and pay more attention to my damage.

Smoky is more like a support like it is not meant for solo kills.i think it’s meant for like a distraction ,but it alsodoes some chip damage to enemy’s health. You should try smoky with a light hull running around the map chip everybody’s health like guerilla but it takes time to train to maneuver your hull well ,while your training beware that your K/D might drop

Which should I buy, M1 Mammoth (3,200 Crystals), or the M1 Titan that's on sale (4,200 Crystals) ?

Titan is so much better that it's not even funny anymore.

twins it’s good for attacking and if your gonna go close range buy the alteration that cancels the splash damage of twins

[SiLEnCeR.T0 143]

wait sorry your rank is too low unless you feel good buying firebird or smoky m1

[ThirdOnion 4,898]

There's a reason it's the first M1 hull to unlock . . .

[Hammy15 191]

Should I buy minotaur or should I just buy firebolt + railgun. I really don't know if I wanna play only normal battles till m3 ranks or if I also want to do xp/bp battles. What should u guys advice?

I personally believe xp/bp is overrated. Yes, you can get experience easily probably (I haven't had enough experience to confirm that yet), but crystals.... e h h h. But if you're good with hornet/wasp + railgun, you could get it m2 this christmas sales or whenever you wish, and then start saving up for a really good m3 kit; for example Paladin, Raiden, or Medic, these 3 are probably the best cheap ones.

[SiLEnCeR.T0 143]

Should i buy voltage(railgun,dictator m2) or boar kit(ricochet, dictator m2)? I like mid range and long range maps.i also like to defend and like ‘midfield’.

rico is much more versatile then a railgun . Even looking at your profile you can see which is better , rail 3.1 h for 3300 exp and the rico 1.7h for 1990 so more exp /h played . Rico m2 is strong and imho much stronger then rail m2 .

[sezze100 416]

You can get the m1 really fast and cheap . Once upgraded it is good and it is close to a titan , but a titan is better yes , Specs are really close but the wide hull of the mammoth is not as driveable then the titan . At m1 they are not so good , only good for really small maps or campers . Once you get to m2 all changes and in m3/4 lvl titan is the most used hull , together with viking .

So you say: Don't go for bp but a good kit in normal battles? But what I experienced that a wasp fire m2 can kill a dic/rico m2. When they are both on full health, it was a suprising fact for me. That is also why I think I wanna go for the firebolt kit ;)

Any tank combination can kill any other combination on the map if he got the skills for it . The wasp fire needed to dodge the shots ( and be lucky not to get other incoming shots ) and he can kill a titan or mammy . Even a m0 can kill a m4 hull , it is only more difficult .

Yeah I know. I ment more in direct confrontation that firebolt kit can kill boar kit, without dodging etc.

And thats what the skills are , see that you stay alive and the other dies . Looking straight alone at nr's , the isida is the strongest in HP/sec , but it doesnt work like that . The wasp can be very strong if the driver got the skills to use the speed of it to dodge the shots , if not he will be reborn a gazillion times . A heavier hull got more problems to dodge the shots , so he has to compensate that by pure killing power .
