I am at Sergeant-Major. I can buy the first alteration for everything. Which one would you advise me to get?

 

Don't spend crystals on alterations until you know which one or two combos you want to keep upgrading.

Unless you have a lot of crystals to burn, your crystals are better spent on turret/hull/protection upgrades. I think most of the stock turrets are balanced. From time to time, an alteration will be overpowered but those get rolled back. Some alterations make a turret better for long range or short range for example. However, you will not know which map you'll get when you go to MM. Changing an alteration in the middle of  a match will waste valuable time.

For ricochet, is minus-field alt a must? (Compared to stock ricochet).

if used at higher levels then yes

So, the thing is that I'm a bit confused about what to do now. I have 2 things that I have in mind right now. I'll list them below. If you have any other suggestions, I'm open to them. And here is a link to my profile to save you some time, if you wanna help. 

I'll list out my modifications,

Smoky Mk6 [3/10]

Viking Mk4 [7/10]

Supplies: Everything near 1000's except Repair Kits, which is below 100's.

remaining everything is as it shows in the profile, no MU's.

Now, to get down to business,

1. I can go on to MU my Smoky to Mk7 and my Viking to Mk5 by WO5 within a year or so. Then I will do my Protection Modules. I have no intention of using a Drone right now. 
2. I can buy another set of tank [Turret-Hull], completely different. Maybe Rail-Wasp, Rail-Hornet, Hammer-Hunter, etc., and then MU that combo. If I do this I will completely ignore MU on Smoky-Viking for a while.

Thank you for your help.

Should I buy Smoky's Incendiary Round Alteration? If yes, why? I posted a question about it in the Q&A section. You can visit it directly here.

Not really. I've been using Smoky for a long time and Smoky does just fine without anything. If you're a higher level you can consider buying Autocanon. I'm going to buy it too, when I reach the rank of course.

I agree with @sharifsahaf. It is good at higher ranks.

I would say, focus only on one specific combo and upgrade protections on your way to higher ranks.

Honestly even Incendiary Rounds is pretty good. I just suggested Auto-cannon out of personal liking, my bad. However, Auto-cannon is good too in certain modes, so if you feel like buying it, you're welcome.

Now getting down to your question. I saw that you are a First Lieutenant, I guess Grizzly [Thunder] modules are very common up there so I'd rule it out. You have mostly used Firebird, Smoky and  Railgun. I would suggest ruling out Railgun too unless you want to continue using Viking. Focus on a certain main combo for now. This combo must be usable in most MM game modes. If you play for fun then you can also have another combo, but do not mistake it for your main combo. Your main combo must be good. Right now you're using Smoky-Viking which is a great combo!! As I am an avid user of Smoky-Viking I can confidently say that it can be used is most MM matches. I'd suggest you to either MU your Fire to Mk4(or maybe buy it, idk) or you can go for Vulcan. I saw that you used Vulcan for a while, and you were good at it too. I don't know why you stopped using it. Maybe cause it's a bit difficult to use or isn't much fun. However, you can also take Vulcan as another option to use. Your Vulcan is at a good Mk4 and I'm sure you can upgrade it. 

Final notes,

Turrets: Smoky, Fire, Vulcan, Railgun[Destabilization is a must]

Hulls: Viking and Hornet will do you good.

 

If you have anything else to ask, feel free. :D

I see. So I'll just go with my first plan. I'll be able to have a Smoky[Mk7]-Viking[Mk5] combo by WO5 and maybe have 2 modules to Mk4 as well.

Thank you.

Have Round Destabilization is good. Your idea for Firebird with Compact Tank alt is great!! 

Now, I wouldn't really recommend buying many Hulls unless you are a buyer. I'd say that you can use Vulcan just as effectively with Viking or Hornet. Due to Hornet's Overdrive you can almost drill anybody at anytime and Vulcan works great with Viking's Overdrive too!

No. I don't think kits appear in the Garage anymore.

Is Magnum /w Reinforced Chassis fun? Is it too awkward to control? Should you buy Magnum protection?

Magnum with Reinforced Gun Carriage is kinda weird to control at first. You can't really make all those high shots that you used to and you won't be getting as many kills at first but you slowly get the hang of it. Should you buy Griffin module? Hell yeah! It doesn't matter the rank. Having protections for guns that can be a pain in the a-- is always good. Heck, I'd buy each protection and MU it to max right now if I could!!

I would tend to agree, These last few weeks, there is more and more Vulcan/Hornet (and Viking) combo in matches (often with Booster Drones) and they really tend to dominate. One isn't too bad deal with, because well it's a squishy Hornet, but 2-3 of them in a team will rule a map. Of course, its the most OP combo right now, and we all know what the devs think of balance.

Honestly, I feel like hornet OD needs a nerf. It recharges way too fast.
