What modification of Firebird are we talking about here? I'll assume you're talking about M2 as you have that on your account. 

 

Yes, it's technically better because you're dealing more damage per tick. But the afterburn time remains the same at.

I'm assuming I have to buy an M2 Smoky kit soon. M1/10 still packs a punch at this rank, but I doubt many people manage to take a M1/10 Smoky all the way up to Colonel?

 

Atlas or Northerner? Titan or Viking? Titan probably makes more sense, but a stronger Viking would be fun if they do a NS map again, even though it's like driving a shopping trolley.

Yes I’m talking about m2 should I mu it to 9/10? I’m worried that it won’t be sufficient against heavily modules tanks so I’m thinking of ranking up and getting compact tanks with firebird m2 7/10

Do both, when discounts. You can buy the alt during New Year and maybe 1 MU too. Then next year continue the MUs... if Tanki is still around.

Holy crap how did you reach that rank with only m1 smoky and hunter? You probably have a ton of crystals, seeing that you only have Thunder m0, Viking m1 and Titan m0.  My WO4 acc has m1.9 smoky and hunter.  I feel you probably should have slowly MUed those two.  Not worth it now though, so when you get a m2 kit just MU that to m3 instead of waiting for a few years.  

 

As for Atlas or Northerner, its really up to preference.  Titan is more laidback and better in TDM imo, while Viking can be used for attacking, defending, anything really.  Aborigine isn't off limits either, if you like hunter then buy it.  Just because you have a m1.1 hunter doesn't mean you can't buy it, your viking is m1 or m1.1 anyways.  In fact, buy any kit you want if you like it.  Doesn't have to be Northerner or Atlas.

*M1.10, not M1.1. So essentially M2. 

[123tim456back 195]

Oh my bad, I misread it as MUed 1/10, not M1.10.  

 

Why would you even consider Atlas and northerner then? Might as well get a different viking/titan kit.

Then there's no point in buying an m2 kit with smoky in it...

If he just wants to use Smoky nothing else, he'd easily have enough crystals for it so it's not a big deal

Lol, when my clan changed it's paint to "Loam" I refused to waste spend 6k cystals for a ugly paint. Here we're talking about nearly 200k crystals. Anyway, Smoky M1.10 and Smoky M3 don't have much difference, it's a big waste IMHO.

[123tim456back 195]

On my lower acc Thunde_R, I have magnum, hunter, and smoky at m1.9, which will all be maxed during the Christmas/New Years sales. I recently bought the Corsair kit and have 50k left over, and have started getting Viking and twins to m2. 1.3 each atm. No alts, which I’ll get on Christmas/new year sales.

 

Should I get twins and Viking to m2? I’m still at wo4, so I won’t be unlocking m2 kits I want anytime soon. Assuming I’ll have time to earn back the crystals in time to max one of my above combos, is twins Viking m2 good? The projectiles are really slow and it’s difficult to hit things, at close range I’ll kill myself since I’m not buying the alt yet.

 

Thanks in advance.

Running with 2 medium hulls at that rank will be an issue unless you somehow have a huge influx of crystals.

 

The crystals spent maintaining a 2nd medium could be better spent on a different category hull, or more/better modules or even a useful drone.

[dionyshs02 64]

should i buy the monthly pass?? currently im at 20k crystals and matches are unbalanced when i dont play with the pass

I have a pretty decent influx of crystals compared to rank cause I try to get crystal missions, and I only play the missions most of the time.

 

I’m not a fan of light and heavy hulls(with the exception of hornet, which I already own), and I completely didn’t consider modules, so I’ll do that. Any recommendations? I think fox and falcon are good, but I’m not sure.

To be successful till M3s, you need to have a primary and secondary turret/hull combo, maybe some modules, if you get a lot of money (crystals). Containers yield a high amount of paints (sometimes epic, and rarely legendary), so don't buy any paints OR product kits (unless if it was the White paint, for events)

Then get (more) drones, but not only after your primary and secondary turrets/hulls to M4 (and maybe even your modules)

So, let me compile a list of what you need. Getting the right modules upgraded is crucial - I cannot stress this enough.

 

- This is definitely a module that requires high-end upgrades in order to become good, but it's never really a detriment. The problem is that you really shouldn't expect much from it at M1 or even M2, but rather at M3+.

- Like Firebird, it becomes much more efficient as you go up the modifications, having not so great results at first but good ones at M3 levels.

 - Borderline useless. The amount of Isidas that actually go on the offensive is so small that I don't think this module will pay you back for its worth in one or even two years.

 - ESSENTIAL. You're already at those ranks which come head-to-head with Duplet, which is why you absolutely need this module. We all know how good Duplet is, and even an M2 module is enough to leave you with a bit of HP after you take in two double clips.

 - Although it is helpful at pretty much all ranks, it's not that much of a necessity. It actually brings pretty decent results across the board compared to some of the other ones on this list, so you can never go wrong with it.

 - While it seems good... it kinda disappoints me. Don't get me wrong, it's great for those midranks where almost everyone has M2 Ricos, but its value drops off quick. Besides, it doesn't really seem like it helps out that much in battles even when heavily upgraded. Having it at M2 is probably your best bet.

- Like Ricochet, it just feels disappointing if you put in a lot of crystals and expect it to work wonders like some of the others.

 - ESSENTIAL. Do I even have to mention why? For further proof, it's one of the two modules that I fully upgraded. Enough said.

 - You'd think that it's not that good. You might not find Vulcans everywhere, but as your module goes up, their damage goes down. So the time to kill goes down drastically as well. This is actually great if you're trying to break through a point such as in ASL or CP, but not so much in DM or in TJR.

- When solo JGR was a thing, you NEEDED this module to survive. The amount of Uranium Strikers preying on the Juggernauts with Hunter or Viking was huge, but you would make them sweat if you put on this module. It's the other module I upped to 50%, and now you know why. This allowed me to go on huge streaks, even allowing me to go 50-1 once. But now...this module is not that useful. The amount of Strikers has declined in MM so much, and with the assassination of Uranium, pretty much 95% of the Striker fans left for other turrets. It's not as useless as Isida, but do think carefully before buying this module.

 - ESSENTIAL. Gauss usage is probably at an all-time high at all ranks, and I cannot begin to explain how good this module is. One of the best financial decisions I made was buying the Owl module on the day that Gauss released and then upgrading it to 40%. No one else had protections against it at that time, and I was pretty much like God. People have started investing into it, but even then, it doesn't seem like there's too many Owl users nowadays. Having it at a good modification will grant you near-invincibility from Gauss users, which is why I seriously recommend this module.

- ESSENTIAL. There are way too many Railguns in MM, be it with Large Calibre Rounds, Scout, or even Round Destabilization. It's probably the module that you should buy first, maybe even before Grizzly, although that is debatable. It saves your behind more times than you will ever count. When Railgun players see a number above your head, you can literally see their fear in the way they reverse their tank away from you. Funny to think that this was once called a Fear Machine, because the fear will go the opposite direction when your opponents see your module.

 - I wanted to put this at essential, but it really doesn't come into play until you hit the Generals. The Magnum spam is just brutal at those ranks, which is why you need it at M3+ to achieve great results. You'll give them a very hard time once they can't one shot you, and like Railgun players, they will backtrack HARD. Nothing gives me more pleasure than coming into their face and making them self destruct because they think that they won't get hit at all.

 - Like Magnum, this becomes essential because of a particular alteration called Rapid-fire mode. It's everywhere at high ranks, and even a decently-upgraded Eagle module will reduce their three-shot kill ability to nothing. It'll also help you survive its sniper shots, and while you won't be protected from one-shots when you use Hornet or Wasp until you upgrade it to 40%+ (assuming you and enemy Shaft are at the same standing), you will be able to survive if you are using medium hulls, which I believe is very, very helpful. 

 

In short, the ones you really need are the following:

with these coming in later:

 

Hope I helped, and that you didn't fall asleep while reading.

 

Don't forget that this is MY opinion, which might differ from other peoples', but given that I made the ascension in the high ranks fairly recently, I believe that this list is pretty accurate. Respond as you will, but don't slam me if I got something wrong.

I got Dolphin M2 when I bought the Aborigine kit, and it's just okay. Either a battle has a ton of Smokies, or barely any. Most of the time, they're pretty rare.

I have Owl M1, and I'd rather use that, even if it's got a lower protection amount.
