What to buy? Which is better?

[Flaming_Death49 7]

I was thinking atlas vs northerner. I've been hearing that atlas is the best m2. Will it compete until I have enough for a good m3 kit? The reason I was thinking northerner for a time is the fact that atlas isn't really for medium maps. I don't play medium maps too often, because I prefer the high battle funds of small maps like polygon cp and dm and noise ctf. Would I be better off getting atlas or northerner? I've also heard that atlas isn't good for polygon cp, but hey…paulius daone did it. Also, I'm worried about gold hunting with viking.

Rico m3 or 200k of MUs?

200k of MUs. If you get Rico, you'll have to MU that as well

 

guys,so i think of buying the atlas kit,when i hit captain,since ive heard its awesome,but im not a fan of heavy hulls.So will it be wise to buy rico viking m2,considering that i plan to buy redneck too?

Get Atlas then save for Redneck. Smoky M2 is way better than Rico M2 and will last you a lot longer

Ok first of all. Just because "Paulius DaOne" used it and it "worked" for him, does not mean that it will work for you. Smoky M2 is quite an impressive turret overall, but in Poly CP, Thunder and Twins is more effective. Also, Smoky M2 isn't that great in Noise CTF. It's more of a long range turret. I suggest you get Minotaur but if you really want, get Atlas over Northerner, coz Titan M2 has more health for Poly CP and Loam is great.

 

hi i don't which m3 turret to get. Can only afford one of them isida m3 or hammer m3 or rail m3 (for xp bp)

 

Pls answer quickly

 

Thanks

You need a M3 hull. Get Wasp or Hornet M3 so you can play XP/BP

So definitely atlas over northerner? I would like to hear other peoples advice also.

you have yet not caught 10 golds.. I honestly think goldhunting should be your last concern.

 

The kit has to fit you... there is no point in getting the "best" kit, while the playing style that you play does not fit the kit.

 

atlas is awesome in small maps, on medium cyou can play defense or lock up critical entrances to your base. nothener it great too, if you like mobility and attacking. so think what suits you more.. beeing mobile and attack+midfield, or defense and stay behind.

then choose.

Well you said you play Poly CP and Noise CTF. Smoky/Titan is definitely better than Smoky/Viking in Poly CP - Viking is for short range turrets in this game mode. In Noise CTF, I still think Smoky/Titan will be better, just cause 8v8 on Noise is somewhat crowded. But I guess Smoky/Viking is ok in Noise CTF; (Smoky/Vik in Noise CTF > Smoky/Vik in Poly CP)

 

Also, if you care about "gold hunting", Titan definitely your better bet over Viking. Especially with Twins/Titan, you push everything.

 

Another thing - Atlas' paint is 1000x better than Northerner. Shaft paint is only useful if you play maps like Skyscrapers, Monte Carlo, Highways, etc. Even in maps where Shaft might be common (such as Rio and Kungur), you're better off with Smoky and Rail protection.

So on my alt i plan on saving all my crystals till the first good m2 kits come so whats the best m0-m0 combo in your opinion?

I don't really recommend doing that.. Maybe get a cheap M1 combo like Isida/Viking and use that until the good M2 kits come along.

was thinking maybe like m1 smokey with m1 wasp or viking but.. a lot of people at the early like dozen or so ranks still get destroyed by vulcan m0 and viking m0

[Phoenix.Rising 2,519]

Rico or Vulcan M3+ on a Titan? I'm looking for another good turret to mount on Titan M3 for Poly CPs. (Other than Twins M3 & Smoky M3 which I kept switching constantly, but I need a 3rd one to go in between.)

 

Originally I like Vulcan but sometimes I face lots of Africa which reduce its effectiveness at times and I don't see that many Clays. :unsure:

Either way, don't play with M0/M0 all the way up to Second Lt or whenever (when the op M2 kits unlock). I don't suggest M1 Wasp because you'll need to wear a paint like Forester to protect against M1/M2 Rails. Hornet M1 is a better option. Also, Smoky M1 is good early on but loses effectiveness somewhat quickly. I still recommend Isida M1 - while it's a little underpowered, Isida is still reliable (in general) and everyone loves it when an Isida joins their team. If you wish to use Smoky M1 all the way up until you get a M2 kit, I suggest getting Viking M1 to pair it with.

Well you have Zeus, so Vulcan actually might not be a bad weapon. I say Vulcan M3/M4, just cause you already have Twins and Twins is somewhat similar to Rico in terms of range. Even though there are lots of Africas, there are also lots of tankers with no vulcan protection. For example, I use my 44/50 Thunder in Poly CP and while I see lots of Africas and Clays, there are still lots of paints without Thunder protection, e.g. Taiga, Rock, and Lumberjack, that I can easily attack.

should i grab likle the lizard kit the? its like 4000 i think gives m1 titan m0 rico and the dragon paint

No :P don't get that kit. Go with a kit like Vampire with Isida M1. Your other option is the Smoky/Viking M1 kit which I forget the name of. But if you want to get an OP M2 kit, you'll need to start saving for it at Warrant Officer 1-ish.

[Bluebird13 95]

What does everyone think of the Boreas kit? I am trying to think of an alternative to Medic, although I'd like that kit. My larger aim is Prometheus, so Viking and Hunter together isn't necessary. Also, Legend? I haven't used Rail past M0 and M2/M3 on the test server. I might not be the best with it to start. However, I enjoyed XP with M2s (I really don't like M0; slow turning speed, reload and not-so-great damage).

Should I consider Cardinal or Guardian? I am not really a fan of heavy hulls (don't hate them, though). Finally, should I consider a turret/hull on its own? I've got M3 Thunder, M2 Hornet and Mammoth, and M2 Firebird. I use all. As for paints, I really only use Jaguar and Emerald.

 

 

PART TWO:

 

Server just restarted, and I've got a PD:

 

 

I have Vik M1, which I almost never use now (only 30hp more than Hornet). I'd really like this. Hornet doesn't always have enough health, and Mammoth is uselessly slow. I've got 121k. However...

 

I should be saving for other stuff, shouldn't I?... I'm making enough crystals; anyway, 41% is a good deal. Take it or leave it? I'm really tempted.

 

Please respond, thank you.

Leaning towards buying it.

i Wouldn't suggest that . Just get a cheap M1 kit and then start saving everything for a M2 kit . I suggest Twins M1 + Viking/Hunter M1 sense they are very good long lasting M1s

If you want medic kit and have your mind firmly set on it, then getting something that will be lost after you get it for an extra 58k is pretty useless, however if you are unsure about medic kit and don't want any of the other Viking m3 kits, then that PD is something you should get

Youre an m2, and youre thinking about m3s (which is normal)... and then you flip things around and want to buy more m2s. -.-

 

The update where you can buy only the highest modification available at your rank is a huge deal. The best thing is to stick to as few m1s and m2s as possible to get you to the m3 stuff. You will save a ton of cry and maybe even buy an op kit. ;)

 

I wouldnt buy vik m2 if i were you.

 

All kits are good in one way or another. I GUARANTEE that you will use everything in a m3 kit for a good amount of time. It may take you until gen to use hive for example, which is a great paint actually, but you will find somewhere to use everything.

 

If you are in a rush to rank up (which i highly do not recommend; gen gameplay is boring) get medic. Jack is an excellent kit. Refrig is not bad... raiden is crap. M4 thunder is the weakest m4. Only good maybe up to the marshalls. Paladin is good, but freezes are getting rare. Boreas is a vert fun combo, and effective when uses properly. I do awesome with smoky wasp in poly cp, and im sure i would do as good or better if i had freeze. Itll annoy more players thats for sure :D

So,i was planning on gettin atlas,but after seeing a few replies on tht,i dont think it suits my style well.I do a lot midfields,and attacking,the occational capturing flags in rio and a lot of poly cp and dm's.I currently use smoky/viking as my 2nd combo, rico/viking is my main combo.So,im thinking of going fr northerner now.

So,

Atlas vs northerner vs rico viking m2??

Edited April 19, 2016 by 9.nine

As much as i love hunter, its just too expensive to mu with my rate of crystal accumulation. I regret to say, but i think i need to mu my viking... its pretty similar, and its xt, but ill miss the drift. :(

Atlas is the best m2 kit. But if it doesnt fit your style, dont get it. Rico m2 needs to be at least half mu to be effective. If you are willing to do that, go for it. Otherwise i suggest buying smoky and viking separately. Winter paint is a waste of crystals.

It seems Smoky/vik is a late unlock,so ill need something to last till thn.I think ill get northerner,and later loam.any other paints i should consider??

Main points:

 

1. Wasp vs Hornet at M3
2. Thoughts on my plan (read the dot points in spoiler)

 

 

 

Alright, so I'll forget about Medic and the other Viking kits for now. I'll aim for Boreas, and from then possibly Prometheus. I really like light hulls, and will surely enjoy using the Wasp. Can I just ask people what they think about Wasp vs Hornet at M3? I've used Hornet mainly and really enjoy using it. I also like Wasp now, too. I'd be getting Wasp if I go for Boreas.

 

So far most people have said that Viking is a good deal. If I skip the Viking M3 kits my (to-be future) M2 won't go to waste. Here's my plan:

 

• Buy Viking now, and will have 63k after purchase;

I'll be completely set to last late into the ranks if I buy it. I might be completely fine without Vik, but it'll go to good use in Poly, Noise and other crowded places where Hornet isn't enough. Mammoth is no good for attacking, really, and doesn't pair with Fire. Hornet for larger maps, Vik for medium to small and Mammoth for medium to small, with Thunder. Thunder and Fire alternating. Viking will allow me to cover all areas that Hornet and Mammoth cannot.

 

• Save from then for Boreas (360k). Buy it before  if I earn enough.

I'll need to earn 160k exp to get to Major General   (when the kit unlocks) from my present rank. Going off my profile, I'll have earnt another 210k~ by then, excluding rank up crystals (37k). Total of around 300k. Add another 40-70k exp and I should have enough for it. I'd be halfway to when I could buy the kit.

 

Note: This is going off how well I did last week with crystals earnt. I may earn half what I expected, and battles will most likely be harder the more I rank. Who knows if this is accurate or not.

 

• Go on to save for Prometheus, or something else (who knows what may have changed by the time I reach this stage. I don't think I'll rank really quickly).

 

 

 

Thanks for this.

 

Note: have now bought M2 Viking, and it's great! I don't regret it at all, and will start saving for a nice kit (without Viking).

Well, Rico is generally better for general use. Hammer for short-medium, Rico for medium. I haven't got any info on your current weapons or your preferences. If you like short, pick Hammer; you'll use it well. If you prefer to keep your distance, maybe go for Rico.
