What to buy? Which is better?

[Capable 4,614]

M2 Hornet.

 

Makes you stable and not miss shots.

[DragonOfStorms 2,706]

Well, this should have been posted in the "What to buy, which is better" thread. However, I would recommend Hornet M2. Or wait for Tornado, 147k for M2 Hornet-Railgun.

Okay, sorry FC. I'm might get Stinger instead of Serbian kit. But... I don't think I'll get enough crystals to get it by WO 4. :( My friends, I might make a new account! :( I've messed up to bad on this one. I might be called either DR.DERMOLITION or Ladies Man. That is if I make a new account. The only thing that can make me effective now is buying, which is something I'll never do.

 

P.S. Please don't take my new nickname

 

P.P.S. If you see a random tanker shouting across the forum "Its me! Assolik!" And randomly friending people all over again, itss probably me. *sniff* Its sad that now I can't take credit for the Gold Hunting guide I made because no buddy will think I actually made it. (Crying Noises) Waaaaaaahh!! Ahhh! Ahh!

 Don't restart, instead:

 

Buy Osaka or Siberian (Osaka is better), then save up for an M2 kit, preferably Atlas or Minotaur. Then, since you showed some previous interest in Bulldozer, buy Raiden (or Bulldozer, but Raiden because it has Viking M3), and MU Thunder (10 - 20 steps is fine), then save up for the Redneck kit. Then, after that, buy Picasso, then get Freeze M3 and a hull M3 once you reach 'gissimo. THOUGH, if you have the crystals to spare, Freeze M3 should be purchased earlier, your call.

 

 

@DEATH29_online: Buy Rail M2 first, it'll pair decently with Viking M1, and in the meantime you can save up for a hull M2.

Answer this fast! on Generalgissmo account I got premium till 4th april and so I have 2700 crystals at the moment so shall I get dict M0? I kinda want it because of something called 'GoldHunting' So shall I get it tomorrow? and also on Total_Destructor account I need something more speedy than viking and I have 2201 crystals at the moment so what to do? and also after registering an email tomorrow on Generalgissmo they'll be turned into 3700 crystals!

Ok well took me to realize that "Generalgissmo" is the username of one of your alts; I thought you said you had a Generalissimo ranked-account :P Anyways, it's M0, so you can really buy any M0 you want and not mess up your plans. And gold rarely drops at low ranks, so Idk if having the slow Dict M0 is gonna make any difference.

 

If you need something "more speedy than Viking", go with Hornet I guess.

I wud recommend going for m2 hornet, but i don't have that much of experience here as I had both M2 XP at same time at first lieutenant. I had bought m1 rail before m1 hornet and I fared pretty well.. but I say u shud go for m2 hornet.

[III_Dope_III 319]

I have 54k what kit shall I get, im thinking of stinger kit, save and get it or get a OP kit now and then get stinger

Bump

I bought Bulldozer, and someone is telling me M3 Thunder is weaker than most M3's. 

1. Did I mess up buying Bulldozer with M3 Thunder, spending 125k on 17/50 micro-upgrades?

2. Is M4 Thunder worth getting?

3. Are there any good ways to use Thunder without drugs?

4. What should I save up for next if I'm not getting M4 Thunder?

I thought that too - until I came across a Thunder-M4. Now it is one of two turrets I am aiming for.

1. No, so relax. Upgrade whenever you can.

2. I think so. Jack it up!

3. Yes, aim as best you can and hit the space bar. 

4. Maybe you should have thought of this before getting M3? You have the turret now - it's still a game, have fun and use it!

[WoShiNewbie 55]

Is it wise to MU any of my M2 stuff or wait for M3? If not I probably won't be able to take advantage of the MU sale lol.

Microupgrade during April fools day a tiny bit, but don't otherwise.

MAYBE just your main turret.

[WoShiNewbie 55]

My turrets, I think are okay, maybe I will MU loam? Currently only +1. I dunno how many I should go, need your advice. Thanks.

[Benefactor 6,888]

If you are indecisive, then hold and don't spend. Play and hoard. Aim for an M3 kit. Sales will always come and go.

Ok so I have 44/50 Thunder which you could say is basically M4 (I plan on M4'ing it soon). In Poly DM, it is an absolute killer - so easy to steal kills. Splash damage is amazing, and raw damage is very strong. Range doesn't seem to be a problem either - maybe on larger maps the range is a slight problem, but not in Poly. The only thing is, reload time is kinda iffy.

 

Your question of "If M4 Thunder worth getting" - not sure how to answer this. If you had enough crystals to completely M4 Thunder right now, it is, 10000% worth it. I cannot even imagine having M4 Thunder at your rank, 1-2 shotting everyone with DD. But I doubt you have the crystals for that, at least for now. In the long run, Thunder M4 may not be your best bet cause of some paints. For battles Commander and under, you see mostly Emeralds and Cherrys; in gismo battles, you see lots of Africa and some Clays, but less Emerald/Cherry. But in general though, you're already at a good spot - 17/50 at your rank. If you get it to 30/50 and use it until Marshal where you can pick up, say, Twins M3, you should be fine. Whether or not you want to M4 it after that is up to you. My recommendation is no (or at least until you get another M3 turret decently MUed), since 30/50 Thunder is already pretty good. I've also heard from someone that even a 22/50 Smoky is better than a M4 Thunder

No need to MU loam, it has enough Fire protection

[r_Event1 605]

Boar or Minotaur? 
I can buy now Boar - best for Golds and so on + rico is beast
Minotaur is good also, because im used on both accounts with twins. 
Cant decide which.

Minotaur is better unless you like goldhunting

Well. Im thinking to star gold hunt on this account...

From what I've heard, Thunder M3 is weak (but not at your rank) and Thunder M4 is awesome. Try to MU it to 30/50 or so, then get something else. Thunder MU'ed is awesome.

If you've never Micro-Upgraded anything, try getting your main turret to 7-10/50. This sale should also,be good for MUing paints.

Yes, MU Loam. Loam,MU'ed is awesome.

For my firebird m1 what's better Viking m1 or hornet m1?? I want something I can keep using throughout the higher ranks.

 

Thanks silver

[fordmustang12345 3,910]

Well. Im thinking to star gold hunt on this account...

well then Isay get.boar and then get fire M2 at Major cause dictator+firebird is a really good gold hunting combo

I've used Viking because it can take punishment as a midfielder. If you go after flags, you may want to consider Hornet for its speed.

Both are good, although Hunter M1 is better than Viking M1 (more speed and health). If you want to use Fire into the low lieutenant ranks, you're better off with Hunter/Viking. But Hornet M2 unlocks early

 

Boar or Minotaur? 

I can buy now Boar - best for Golds and so on + rico is beast

Minotaur is good also, because im used on both accounts with twins.

Minotaur is significantly stronger than Boar. Go for Minotaur.

My Thunder is M4. It is definitely weaker than my other turrets, even though they are only M3.5 (20-30 MUs). Keep in mind that MUs are now level in terms of damage increase, so you'll be paying progressively more and more for the same boost in stats.

Overall, compared to other M4s, Thunder comes out as a bit weak. It's still (very) good at DMs; however, it fails to become anything more than a camping weapon in team battles (compared to Smoky, which is quite good at assaulting the enemy base).

I would save up for other kits. Seems like Cardinal, Redneck, or Guardian would fit you quite well.

Ok thanks

I feel like tanki is missing something. There are missions, which create a goal for tanki, but you should be able to be more creative with your tank. This is kind of off topic though. I agree with your 7-10/50 upgrade. I did that to my firebird m1, and it is OP as OP can get. A burst or 2 and my opponent is dead
