What to buy? Which is better?

[Initiate 1,306]

@lssimo told me to ask an experience high-rank player (preferably Legend) in the first place.

 

He's also 15, while @Maf is 20, but @Hate will overtake @Maf one day. So, he's worth asking as well.

Ranks? Means nothing. As long as they've played at M3 ranks, going from Marshal to Legend doesn't matter really at all.

 

If I'm not mistaken, @lssimo has at least one Legend account.

 

Oh, by the way Maf, I wasn't saying he shouldn't ask you :P

 

Anyways.

If you want a heavy hull: I'd say Gustav 

If you want a medium hull: Oz or Stormbringer (Vulcan M3 is insane)

If you want a light hull: Huntsman or Man-o-war

 

Now the rationale: For Gustav, buy RGC for your Magnum - it's super fun when used with Hunter (at M1 ranks at least).

For Oz or Stormbringer, Dictator M2 is weak but M3 is really up a level, it's weight is really good for DMs. With Shaft, Heavy Capacitors, and 20/20 Booster Drone, you can one-shot any Juggernaut in the game at full health, using the DD that Dictator's OD gives you.

For Huntsman/Man-o-war, these really depend which turret you prefer (bear in mind that M1 Smoky is weak so if you disliked using it at low ranks, it'll be a lot better at higher ones). However, the biggest reason for these would be to get the best (hands down) combo in the game - though it takes a whole lotta skill to use properly - Shaft/Hornet/Light Capacitors (alternatively if you prefer Rail over Thunder/Smoky, get legend kit - then you also get XP/BP battles).

 

Any players who know this game better wanna chime in?

[Zekrom 316]

Are your M1s MUed? How nuch?

All except for Ricochet M1 and possibly Hornet M1 is MU at least 1/10

 

Viking is MU 3/10

Firebird is MU 4/10

Railgun is MU 6/10

Every turret except for Ricochet.

 

I've heard Legend kit is only good for XP/BP, but I'll take it anyway (because of the Falcon module).

Not a Lieutenant General yet, so I haven't played with Legends yet, just Gismos a few times.

 

 

But this is rare, I usually finish in the middle against high ranks.

[Initiate 1,306]

 

How long have you been playing?!?!? LOL

 

Anyways for some reason I thought someone else said you had a Legend or at least over Marshal account - oh well :)

 

 

I've heard Legend kit is only good for XP/BP, but I'll take it anyway (because of the Falcon module).

Certainly - I would never play with the actual kit in MM, but the Hornet is good with Shaft, the module is good, and the turret is decent with Hunter - XP/BP is just an added benefit.

[Tidebreaker 1,669]

Ok, I was actually brainlessly squandering my crystals.

 

That's when I realized i needed to save for an M2 kit with TK's. To MU that, so I can get M3 hunter and M3 [insert turret name here] as well as M3 [insert module name here]. Also, I drained my crystal wallet in M1, I will get my crystal count back on track at M2, then be bathing in the glory of early M4 equipment when I get to Marshal.

 

Plus, I have 1k crystals right now. That will grow over time. I never wanted to drain my crystal wallet. I just wanted to try something new, but it went too far. Now I'm going AFK from the game for 2 weeks and possibly a bit longer as well, but I still will be active on the forums. This is because I need a break from TO.

 

I've been thinking what I should do with my crystals at M2. I thought: "Why buy M2 when I can MU to M3 as soon as I get enough TK's?"

 

Plus, Chiro seems like a perfect choice. I'll buy that, and MU it to M3

Congrats. This is probably the best decision you can make at M2 ranks.

 

 

What M3 product kit should I buy?

I'll recommend Stormbringer. Dictator M3 is one of the best upgrades in Tanki, and you get the monster called Vulcan as well. Couple that with a great module and the "Zeus" paint, and you have one of the best kits in-game. Dictator pairs extremely well with Shaft and Rico, too. 

 

 

Quote from an anonymous member (not me): "I saw Riddler in battle today. He was playing Magnum/Viking - he spent more time blowing himself up than he did blowing anyone else up."

 

Anyways, because of this dreadful rank system, noobs can easily get to Legend. (LOOK UP)

 

I would advise asking: @lssimo, @DieselPlatinum, @Tidebreaker, @TheCongoSpider, and @Hate - he can't be super busy, he's the only mod to have completed all challenges to date :P

Heh. I can even imagine Riddler doing that. He'd be the kind of guy who'd blow himself up while having a 50% module and the Defender drone.

 

@Hate is probably an alien from outer space sent here to dominate our games. Should I recommend him? Yeap.

 

 

@lssimo told me to ask an experience high-rank player (preferably Legend) in the first place.

@DieselPlatinum might be down to give me some advice

@Tidebreaker: I'll message him on disc (discord) when I need the advice

@TheCongoSpider if you're reading this, great M3 product kits without Hunter or Shaft in them?

@Hate might be viewing this, but I personally think @Hate plays in MM battles for more than 6 hours a day, for 28 days, if he isn't moderating the chat or forums. He's also 15, while @Maf is 20, but @Hate will overtake @Maf one day. So, he's worth asking as well.

I think you should take a look at people above the Brigadier ranks - they usually know which kits are the best.

 

DM me whenever.

 

Look up.

Can confirm that Dictator M3 is amazing investment. As for Jug, you one shot them every single time. Unfortunately, your Overdrive won't help you that much, but it's the weight of Dictator that'll stabilize while you're taking the shot.

 

Huntsman is very very fun to use. Incendiary rounds are definitely the way to go with this bad boy. Man-o-war is arguably the best for DMs tho. And the number 1 combo is indeed Centaur - hands down. 

 

Nah, I think you described it great. 

 

All except for Ricochet M1 and possibly Hornet M1 is MU at least 1/10

 

Viking is MU 3/10

You'd be better off buying the module kit. It gives 4 mods at once. Honestly amazing value.

I believe you are well acquainted with the person I am quoting - in fact, most people would say you know Tidebrea....- I mean, the person - better than anyone else in the world.

*Chanting* "Dictator! Dictator! Dictator!"

 

Love that hull.

[Zekrom 316]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, everyone's in favor of me getting Stormbringer kit, as well as an M3 product kit with hornet? 

[123tim456back 195]

*Chanting* "Dictator! Dictator! Dictator!"

 

Love that hull.

Can everyone explain why dictator m3 is so great...? Hunter m3 has the same health and is faster.  Relatively stable too.  Height aside, everyone only mentions stability for dictator.  Is it that great of a trade off, speed for stability...? Hunter is pretty stable too...

Turret placement is optimal, and its turning behavior is amazing too, it can do extremely tight turns with no issues at all, you can get it earlier via MUs, and the overdrive not only is the polar opposite of hunter, but it will benefit allies too, and as Congo reported, it gains more OD charge from actions than other tanks too.

[TheCongoSpider 8,954]

@TheCongoSpider if you're reading this, great M3 product kits without Hunter or Shaft in them?

I'd recommend a kit with Dictator or Titan, preferably Dictator. 

 

Both Stormbringer and Maestro are great kits. I have experience with Vulcan, so I lean heavily towards Stormbringer. You'd need some experience with Vulcan to know how to handle. And when you do, you can pair it almost perfectly with Dictator's maneuverability when steering to keep the train of bullets on the target.

Viking is MU 3/10

Firebird is MU 4/10

Railgun is MU 6/10

Then I think you should MU Fire all the way, because you seen to like Fire. Fire could be you second turret for M2 ranks.

 

About Chiro, are you good with Shaft? Do you like playing with Shaft? Are you good with Hunter? Do you like playing with Hunter?

 

Certain equipment can be good for some players but not for others.

 

Because if you like Fire and Viking, you can MU both to M1.10 and then get an M2 kit to complement Fire and Viking, and when Fire and Viking M2 unlock you can star MUing these 2 also to have 2 M2 combos.

I like playing with Shaft and Hunter.

 

I'm okay with both Hunter and Shaft.

 

Viking is just my placeholder for Hunter, because I have an M0 Hunter.

Only Shaft for MM battles is not good, in my opinion, what are you going to do when the enemy is at your base spawn killing you?

 

If I had an account like yours I would get Siberian. With this kit you get Freeze M2, Freeze module M2, and Hunter M1. Then Hunter M1 with few MUs would be good to test and use it until buying a full M2 kit.

Shaft is good if you use the correct alteration. The triple shot alteration allows Shaft to be used well at close range and on Viking it can be especially dangerous. In fact, I see a lot of MM battles where Shaft places in the top three.

It's a good suggestion, but that alt unlocks at Colonel.

[Initiate 1,306]

 

I hated Shaft until I got it M2. Now it's my favourite turret, and it's only less used than Rail because on old HTML5 and Flash MM was just too laggy to play so I did a lot of XP/BP.

[Zekrom 316]

Thanks, guys.

 

So, Stormbringer and a Hornet product kit of my choice? Thanks!

 

Edit:

Skip to 5:32 and look at the Lt Colonel with Hornet and Smoky M2. Look at the name, also! Did you think that player would become an excellent helper in Jan 27, 2017? (The date the video was published, most of you wouldn't have been here, then, I was :ph34r: )

Ok, fair enough.  I'll play hunter on my alt, which is going for magnum, smoky, and hunter m1.10 asap.  I guess playing hunter on both acc will make gameplay more boring.  Gotta say, I still don't like the OD tho.  

 

So should I get Rico m2.8 to m3, and Dictator m2.1 to m3 first, or Chiropractor kit first?

[Zekrom 316]

Why Man-o-war kit is the best:

 

It can fire a maximum of 6120 damage (M4 thunder, DD. OD and M4 booster drone), but you can only fire 3 of these shots before Booster deactivates XD)

 

In 5 seconds, you can do more damage than a Wasp drop bomb (6120*3=18360), but this is extremely rare.

 

Also, splash damage. The weak splash damage is 25%, which is 1505 maximum weak damage (6120/4), and it can do 5508 maximum splash damage, per maximum damage shot. But, this means a high risk of self-destruction (:lol: and :ph34r:)

 

It's on the cheaper end of the M3 product kits scale (worth 367,225 crys).

 

That would mean a 2M crystal garage upgrade (after Man-o-war kit), with a couple of years of waiting.
