What to buy? Which is better?

What are your thoughts on this matter? Which turret do you think benefits the most from this augment and which battle situations favour it's usage? @TheCongoSpider care to give your suggestions?

Ranged turrets will benefit the most. Shaft, Gauss and Magnum (one who is consistently accurate) in particular. They will be in the least danger of dying when on low HP so can soak the benefit of the Augment more.

 

For melee turrets, it would be something passive as they'd naturally get shot at before they reach their target, but there may be other alterations that you'd want to use instead of something that only works when you're damage, and being a melee range turret means you need to survive as long as possible to deal as much damage as possible before you inevitably die. Gauss is the safest option since its other augment is always behind a paywall so you'd get a straight buff to your Gauss. 

 

Gauss is iffy if you're using it close to the enemy or in a spot that will take you long to acquire the target. More time spent not damaging is more time they have to finish you off on whatever little HP you have. However with Hornet it will be deadly in siege if you become low on HP beforehand. Some enemies survive with a sliver of HP because they were far enough to not be in the fatal zone of the splash damage radius, but with some more damage from Adrenaline, those players should also be dead. 

 

Your Gauss' average damage should one-shoit most unprotected medium hulls you see. If you are at half health then assuming you get +15% damage, your Mk6 6/10 Gauss would turn into an Mk7 17/20 Gauss damage-wise. Not too bad. Extra damage will also help against enemies with some protection against you. I say go for it if you will have enough crystals to spare to spend on other stuff, like the micro-upgrades tomorrow. I will continue to use other augments for my turrets until Adrenaline gets put on a 50% sale.

do the calculations with which is a profit: your plans or the kit. Remember that the kit also has protection module. Do you need it? 

Tbh, mk6 kit at colonel is quite good. Although you could rank up to Brigadier quite soon/ get to higher ranks and maybe there'll be an mk7 kit. 

At colonel rank (1 below actually) you can buy any MK7 combo from shop,if you have the cash that is.

shock freeze is so much  better .

erm no its not back in the day it was class now all it does is slow enemy down a little bit more. And i should no i was a freeze player for a long time but since they nerfed shock freeze i now count it useless and have not played it for ages.Me and my friend tested it out in private battle and it really did not make much difference.

Then by all means get a friend and test it out that's what i did and trust me it's useless at actually stopping tanks in their tracks like what it used to do.Before all these various alts came out me and my friend tested out every single turret, and the stock turret that won in a 1v1 straight shoot out was freeze,closely followed by firebird.Now with all these alts it's anyone's guess who would win in a straight 1on1 in a regular battle but my guess would be HORNET/MAGNUM with overdrive activated would come out on top.

i did .here's the thing .i've tested out all the alts and ummm.. i don't think i ever gave anyone crappy advice .im not bragging but each time i've adviced people its been on point .stock freeze would in no way win against shock freeze .maybe ur just not that good with it

The nerf was a bit harsh yes, but freeze is not unusable. It’s good. Both stock and shock freeze. It freezes the same way it used to, except in turret slow down in which circle strafing can now be done effectively to a certain extent only  with light hulls : (

LOL i kinda find that a bit offensive, and your not reading what i have said right. I stated that SHOCK FREEZE no longer does what it was supposed to do AND THAT'S IMMOBILISE tanks so that they actually can't move at all for those vital 4/5 seconds that is needed to prevent them from getting away with your flag.I no what shock freeze can do i used it for a long time and it got nerfed in my opinion so badly it rendered it (IN MY OPINION) totally useless for what it was intended for. And i never once mentioned shock freeze going up against normal freeze (not once).And 1 last point i never inferred in any way that you gave out (crappy) advice, i was pointing out the FACT that SHOCK FREEZE DOES NOT WORK the way it used to. I really hope that has cleared the matter up as to what i was trying to get across about freeze and it's now debunk useless pathetic alt (compared to what it used to be like) CASE CLOSED.

AGREE AND DISAGREE...and a bit harsh ....understatement of the entire tanki history in 4 words.

Here is a valid question, who remembers what SHOCK FREEZE used to be like, before it got nerfed to recruit level.And bare in mind i'm only referring to SHOCK FREEZE nothing else.

If freeze is unusable as the way you say it then there is no possible way of me obtaining good scores with it in MM and PRO battles alike.

Then ditch the alt and use stock freeze. I use stock, not shock(too expensive ) but most ppl ik say shock freeze is still very fun to use including @sharifsahaf and @coconuttree

Yes it wasn’t like what it used to be but it’s not worthless. I was unhappy too but imo devs won’t do anything to freeze anytime soon. So what I did was just adapt to the situation . You’re not the only one who tested the alt as well.

Tbh shock freeze was too op back then. Like the current compact fuel tanks alt. It did need a nerf. Not stock.

OH WELL i give up trying to explain that compared to what it used to be like FREEZE(SHOCK) is pathetic, if you like using it in its current state then nps continue using it.I for one will never use it again until they revert it back to what it was.Along with that nerf to freeze the MM and all these alts and the sky high prices in the shop it's why i have shelved my 2 legend accounts and now just go into battle with a couple noobs acc as i do still enjoy the game even though they have made it increasingly harder to actually play with the amount of changes they introduce seemingly every few weeks.

IT NEEDED A NERF. yeah ok if you say so. Now more than ever with all these changes it needs a comeback,hornet needs a serious nerf but funny thing it seems that won't be happening any time soon.

I'm not offended i can give it out big time when i need to so if i have players(critics) who disagree with me there is never a problem at my end.SHOCK FREEZE is still USELESS by the way.

Coz adrenaline requires less health percent to work. Therefore hornet mk5 should work well with it as too.
