No matter how good you are, you don't get the mammoth freeze in the enemy base using a defender drone with an isida on it's tail and having 50% shaft protection and a special resistant to shafts. You can't aim at its hull.

Call me a madman with 50% Freeze protection then, who will use Booster and Light Capacitors and instakill the Mammoth with Hornet. If I don’t have that available then I’ll target the Isida instead. 
They might be good. But believe me when I say that I can be better.

Sure cult leader. You sure are good with Shaft. No arguing with that.

Are there any recommendations for what I should be doing next?

I'm sitting at 81616 crystals, and I don't think I can afford to keep on upgrading my Mk 6-5 titan/smoky, even with the sales.

Hunter and Firebird are both at mk 4-8, wasp 4-6, and shaft 4-7

Eagle and Dolphin are 4-3, and Falcon 4-5.

I mostly main hunter/smoky now for mobility, occasionally using fire or shaft, or titan for extra armor.

Supplies are 50 rk, 900+ DA, DD, Nitro and 733 batteries

Do I save crystals, invest in mk 5s, buy a drone, or do I just sit and upgrade?

im a major and im at 160 k .currently im saving up for a mk6 fire-hunter kit with crystals for whenever and if it appears in my html 5 shop .if i reach that amount required im going to then start muing my railgun mk4 .u could mu ur firebird to mk5 .definetly buy the compact fuel pump.my firebirds currently at mk3 and its a mess cause i dont have a short ranged turret thats usuable .so really looking forward to the kit . u should upgrade ur fire ,buy the alt and then save up for a smoky mk7 or shaft mk6 kit .ngl its gonna be really tough .but hope u can make it .if u wanna buy a drone - i suggest defender .its no 3 on my to - do list

hello yall,

I havent played tanki in quite a while now. I'm currently warant officer 1 but i dont know whats worth saving for. what are good combinations in later ranks? 

I currently have smoky 3-10, ricochet 3-3, viking 4-4, lion 3-1, falcon 2-1 and dolphin 2-0. i don't play with ricochet much because i find smoky way more versatile.

what do u need to buy/upgrade especially keeping an eye on higher ranks? maybe a close or a large range turret? or do i need to buy a faster hull? as i already mentioned, I am really curious if smoky still peforms well in higher ranks.

 

looking forward to hearing from you,

Hi I'm a non buyer and don't know how to progress now. I'm getting a little bored of the stuff I have. I am thinking of either getting a crystal kit with railgun in or I could grind to get my thunder to mk 8.
Turrets; fire mk 6.2, hammer km 6.4, twins mk 6.2, isida mk 7.3, rico mk 7.5, thunder mk 7.9.
Hulls; wasp mk 6.3, hornet mk 7.2, viking mk 7.4, mammoth mk 7.4.
Also I am always using supplies and I'm not worried about protections.

Any suggestions to spice up my gameplay appreciated! Btw I currently have 280k cry and am halfway through my rank so I could just wait until I rank and buy stuff separately but still mk 7 rail, even in a rare 50% sale, is still 208.5 k crystals.

since ur bored of the stuff try alterations . i dissaprove the railgun choice because if u dont have any alteratons for railgun its bad .so after buying rail u need to buy either LCR or round destabilization alt .ifu want i could suggest alterations for ur other turrets as well

smoky is really used a lot at the higher ranks .id suggest getting an mk4 for ur rank .ur viking is already mk4 and its enough.u need to get a close range turret like a firebird and a light hull preferably hornet because the hornet overdrive is just OP .save up a bit keep ugrading ur smoky and firebird(if u buy it) and when u reach the ranks required here are two alteraions that r gonna make those turrets OP  -incendiary rounds for smoky and compact fuel tanks for firebird

Do not get Railgun. Protections are the most common for it as well as Thunder, so you should definitely hop off the bandwagon and seek something else. You having Hammer is already quite an advantage, although I'd recommend buying the alteration that gives you 5 shots instead of 3. Some other noteworthy turrets that you should consider are Striker, Shaft, and Vulcan (although it will very likely get nerfed soon).

You should be worried about your protections, 3 of them in fact - Magnum, Railgun, and Gauss. The users of those turrets are very difficult to deal with these days and I highly recommend getting yourself a module, preferably through kits.

The 50% sale should be coming in around a month and half on the birthday celebrations, and the May Days celebrations should be coming in around two weeks or so. Gather some more crystals while you can and you should do just fine. I'd put off on upgrading any of your stuff except Hammer, as you're really just going to be wasting crystals.

[Br4d_1 2]

Thanks for the quick replies, I'll probably try and rank up and get mk7 striker as I have had a lot of fun with that in lower accounts, possibly along with the uranium alt. I will try and snag a striker kit if I can in the meantime but I will probably rank before I get enough crystals for it. I'll also have too have a look at modules, I have currently; hammer and vulcan mk6.1, twins 5.4, fire 4.4, smokey 4.1, isida and rico 7, thunder 7.8. all the other modules are mk 2 or 1 so need upgrading.

i have 450k crys and i'm a lieutenant General ( 3-stars rank). So, i can buy an mk7 kit in the shop if it appears. 

I wanna buy a kit with turret as ( in order of my preference for that turret)- 

!) vulcun...  2) Striker....3) Ricochet..... 4) Railgun........5) Isida

and the hull as hornet. I have all other hulls at mk6 so hornet is the best choice for buying an mk7 hull... 

I think vulcun is the best choice right? I am waiting for it to appear in the shop. @Tidebreaker said it will probably get nerfed soon... so should i wait for a striker-hornet kit instead?

Vulcan is good. And I don’t think it will get a nerf. It’s OP because of the hull it’s paired with - hornet. Hornet needs a nerf. 

But even if Vulcan is nerfed that doesn’t mean it’s useless right?

If they want to nerf Vulcan, the only ways I see to do so is either by prolonging the duration of the Barrel Startup or by reducing its DPS.. Either way, with the struggle to lock-on a target from a long distance (due to the shots speed), it'll be even harder and make it semi-useless in long-range combats, pushing it towards mid to close combat which is not supposed to be Vulcan's domain. Vulcan now is doing OK with Titan, not that much on the rest of the hulls except Hornet (outperforming most combos in the game imo)

P.S: This is just my personal opinion based on my personal experience

Yes, after more gaming and observing, the problem is definitely not Vulcan by itself but Hornet. Hornets with DD swarming spawn points and spawn killing everything in sight is now common. Its not rare to see these Hornets raking 2 to 3 times the kills of everyone else on the map - Mostly due to spawn killing.

My observation is a combination of hornet's OD (long duration) + DD + vulcan + a special drone (booster, hyperion or defender) that is causing all this now. Currently, there is no defense I am aware of that can counter this effectively. It is hard to get close to a hornet with mammoth, hunter or wasp to activate the OD. Viking can take it out with OD but you will be lucky to activate a viking's OD twice in a game. That leaves your own team's hornets to balance things out. And yes, you do need good core skills to use hornets to be OP currently so I am not as mad.
