What to buy? Which is better?

I really hope you didn't memorize how to spell that name ;P

I...I did. 

 

I didn't know how to pronounce it when I first saw the word years ago so to remember how it was spelt, I just said to myself:

 

Ay-zshaf-zshalla-zshokool. 

 

And saying that allows me to spell it out since I know what those sounds would be in writing.

Vulcan is really fun, especially with Dictator. And if you're looking at my profile and thinking that I've barely used it - I do have a Vulc account ;)

Do you have Titan? If so, get Incendiary Vulcan (still crazy) and you can fire those barrels all day with the help of your OD. Now, if you use Vulcan, you don't group with an Isida - you group with two other Vulcan/Titans. ODs all battle long. I've gotten top spots with Vulcan easily with 0 drugs. 

Yes, I do own titan, m2 in fact, but I'm not too fond of incendiary band, consider I literally do not have a fox module. I'd be using it stock or with the other alterations...

Interesting that Vulcan was mentioned here 

it has a reputation for being a boring turret to use

It's actually very entertaining to use. Once people realize that they were stupid enough not to buy protection against you, they start to run like chickens. Of course, that doesn't help them, but like I said, entertaining.

Which would you say is better for me, gauss or vulcan m2? I'm equipped with either titan (M2) or dictator (M3).

Try them both on M0 accounts (or M1). I don't know your playstyle, let me check your profile...

 

Back again. Go with Gauss - unless you want something new. Vulcan is really fun to play with if you're using it with Titan/Dictator/(dare I say it) Wasp, IMO.

Try them first. I'd go with Gauss if I had to choose between the two.

[Initiate 1,306]

But Gauss is due for a nerf pretty soon, and M2 is already a weaker modification.

[lssimo 1,559]

Xxstriker, If I were you I would work with Rail M2 and Rico M2, and upgrade them to M2.10 first before buying another turret.

 

Then you need to save for modules and an M3 kit.

Gauss M2 is strong for the rank where it unlocks, which is the same rank Xxstriker has, at your rank it should be M2.4 or M2.5.

I could do that, but it's boring to use railgun all day. Striker only badly compares if I use missile launcher "hunter" with titan and rico is completely outmatched by the insane damages railgun destabilization does. I want something new, or I'll never rank up.

Well, the thing with trying m0 versions is that both time before overheating and lock-on times are radically different, giving a very different feel about what the capabilities are. I have gauss m2 on one of my accounts, and it's powerful, but at the same time I hear praise for vulcan and I wonder how it'll do, since it seems I have the optimal hulls for it.

Right now I just finish missions and then I'm too bored to continue so I move on to my other accounts.

[FrozenRailgun 1,771]

Should I upgrade my M3 Eagle to M4???

If you're bored, don't play MM. At all. It's pretty laggy and not fun when it's a drug battle. For now, devote your self entirely to XP/BP format battles. That's what I did from your First Lieutenant to Captain. After I ranked, I realized that they had lost a bit of their sparkle, and moved on. From halfway through WO5 until I got to the next rank I played almost exclusively JGR. Just change it up a bit - playing on the same maps over and over an over an over is super tedious. I haven't played MM at all since the May challenge, only enough to get the first tier in June and July. I don't complete missions, and right now that's fun. I log on, play an XP/BP battle, log off - or maybe I go in a no-supplies battle with Rico/Shaft+Hunter/Hornet, or for some fun (if MUs are off) I crack out Dictator/Titan+Vulcan. I've had a couple fun DR battles. Just switch up the routine

Right now... gives me 42% of Shaft defence.

I don't like XP/BP (I dislike hornet in general), and the "issue" with pro battles is that it's really hard to find a good match or create one where people actually join... JGR is ruined by viking overdrive, and I don't have a grizzly/dolphin m2 to protect myself from those.

Another factor at play is that these wars they do, are way too influent on luck instead of on your skills, like war of super powers was (Though I did have the help of 23 days of premium to get the stars for it). Like this current war doesn't interest me at all and I didn't even buy the paint, nor does the challenge, since I know I won't get to 1800 stars for titan XT (I would like it though).

 

Having different guns that can have a purpose can spice my game up until I get to major for striker's redemption. I don't have trouble with losing or winning battles, and I get top scores quite easily, but whenever I switch to either rico or striker, after not much time I end up using railgun again because it's objectively way more powerful than those 2, and that's what irks me.

Titan rail is sorta relaxing, but dictator rail is fast paced and almost tiring to use, though it scores amazingly.

I actually may have made a mistake in pairing striker with dictator, it seems to be more enjoyable with hunter, but I'll have to see once I unlock uranium on this account as well.

 

Railgun is currently 4/10, I could eventually get it to m3, probably before I even get to captain. Or I could get a new "toy" to get some variety in my battles.

 

Or... I could go for grizzly m2 and orka m2 as they'll both help out in the long term.

[speedygonzales_TURBO 2]

guys i need a pro hammer user to tell me some advice first off second off how good is the m2 version is slugger worth having on it at m2 and how to use it i'm scared on getting it because its new to me i've only used twins and i'm scared of something new but i need a flag caper and i heard viking and hammer is best

The turning speed loss is - really noticeable. However, Slugger put Hammer roughly in line with Twins in terms of range so it's pretty good - however, you'll need to learn when to unequip the alteration. Aside from that, any turret is powerful with drugs. Some turrets are powerful with few drugs and tons of skill. Very few turrets are powerful with no drugs at all if you have heaps of skill, though this is almost nonexistant under neo-Tanki. Try using a low account and see if you like Hunter/Hammer (which would be my advice over Viking/Hammer) because unless you're a drug lord you're gonna need a tidy pile of skill using the turret.

[speedygonzales_TURBO 2]

 

I can't afford that so what you advice going for twins with Titan instead or mammoth with. Vulcan or Viking with striker.

it's just, I already spent 40000 gold 20 k on. Twins and 20000 on hammer.

[speedygonzales_TURBO 2]

By the way, I checked out your profile, you're only a captain, you only played with a hammer 13 hours, so how do you know? Let's just say I've been using hammer for 3 days now, non upgraded, and I've been having a **** ton of fun with it. And if you use it with Viking, you don't need double damage. Once your skill activates on Viking, that practically gives you double damage, I don't know how or why, but it does.

Yes I'm a Captain, no need to look at my profile for that! :P

How do you know this is my only account? 

How do you know this is my highest account? 

How do you know I haven't used Hammer a ton on other accounts?

 

Your skill? I'll assume "Your OD." Yes, about once every game you get a super powerful weapon for 7 seconds. And Hunter? You get guaranteed (unless you're stupid) survival against melee turrets about 3-4 times every game. Oh, and did I mention that anyone and everyone will target you if you have your OD activated? Either that, or they'll just get out of sight. It's easy to avoid - and if you mess up... too bad, you'll get another OD next game! Yeah yeah yeah, but what about the fact that Hunter is just a superior hull in every way? It looks better, has better handling, a better profile, the chance of a more formidable OD.. literally the only thing that's worse is the speed, and marginally. Oh - and it has a better XT.

 

I hope we meet in battle sometime - I will show you what it looks like to be targeted by a Shaft M3, which can one-shot literally everything you could possibly bring against it if you had Glaze kit.

[Alloy 0]

Anyone know if Tornado kit (Rail/Hornet M2) has recently been in the shop? Like maybe in the last 4 weeks.

Also, any other must-buy M2 kits I should consider?

[N3tralRE 282]

Phew, haven't been to this topic in a while...

Anyways, I've managed to save 243k crystals (and more over the next week or two), and I'm looking to spice up my Garage to better adapt to the metagame.  I've been thinking of buying the Saboteur and/or Defender Drone, but I think I need at least one more hull, turret, or protection module before spending on Drones and Batteries.

 

For hulls, I'm thinking of getting M3 Titan.  For turrets, M3 Hammer (alongside its High-Capacity Alteration) will definitely help me in mid-range combat.  For protection, I'm tempted to get M3 Gauss protection, but I think M3 Mines or Smoky protection would be better for me. 

 

So what should I get first?  How good is stock Hammer?  Thanks for your advice!
