What to buy? Which is better?

[Randinu_the_cool 154]

Hey Im thinking of buying something in sale i have two decisions but this decision is only if i rank fast. In sale Im thinking of buying Hornet m3 and rail m2 if I don't rank and If i rank buying viking m3 and something else like a cheap paint like electra or sakura if i rank what is better to buy hornet m3 railgun m2 or viking m3 and a bit cheap paint and some supply kits too my choice for main is getting the xp combo cause i can play xp battles then cause as a hull with decent armour i have dictator which is pretty good for gold boxes and im not thinking much of getting viking soo quick maybe ill buy it after i buy the xp/combo cause getting a paint is not as good as buying another m2 but even though my choice for viking came from medic cause medic is soo good and I have isida m3 so that's why I'm thinking of buying viking m3 but i think playing xp will be better share your opinions then after we get near to sale if i rank ill decide

But this all will be no good if i don't rank then i know its xp for sure. and don't tell me to collect for legend cause i don't have enough crys and ill have to wait long. after i get the xp combo i may save for viking m3 or save for a kit like promethus

How bad do you want to play XP/BP? If you want to play XP/BP early but willing to wait a few ranks, get Rail M3 at General. Either get Hornet M3 or Viking M3 (Viking M3 is good for Poly CP, Dict M2 without MUs can be slow). Skip Rail M2. Also, don't get any "cheap" paint like Electra or Sakura; you're current paint situation is kinda iffy but if you're going to buy any paint, get a M3 paint (any paint that unlocks Brigadier or higher). Emerald or Inferno are good starters.

 

also... I don't recommend wasting your time by playing XP/BP as a non-generalissimo. You can play XP/BP at any rank, but at Generalissimo, you can't play in non-drugger M4 battles.

 

TL;DR - Skip Rail M2 and don't buy any M2 paint you mentioned. Either get Viking or Hornet M3, and get Rail M3 at General

I want to get dict m2. Should I buy the boar kit the next time it comes around, or buy dict by itself during the next sale? I occasionally use rico but I'm not terribly good with it, and I already have corrosion, which has a lot of overlap with sandstone.

Don't worry about the Sandstone/Corrosion overlap. Dict M2 is kinda slow without MUs but with MUs, it is fantastic. It is the best M2 hull to MU. Even if you're not "terrible good" with it, I think you should get it. Boar is not a bad kit and it is great for gold.

 

Also, you have some hours logged with Rail M1. Do you like XP/BP? Maybe you can try Tornado (Rail/Hornet M2)

This post is strictly about Poly CP btw

 

Alright. I can speak a ton about this, cause I bought Guardian myself. You might have heard me say this but Thunder M3 was my main weapon from Brigadier to General. More specifically, the bulldozer combo. With the old MU system, I had 14/25 damage and 9/12 reload; the new MU system brought me to 41/50 Thunder M3 (I have 45/50 currently) and 25/50 Mammy M2. I used this combo in Poly CP and it worked out great. 90% of the time, 1st place. Didn't even really need to drug a whole lot.

 

So... Guardian.... Lots of mixed feelings about this kit. I bought it sometime last december (i think), when i was about 15% through General. I thought Smoky M3 would be good in Poly CP but turns out I was wrong. I was greatly disappointed in it's performance in this game mode; kept using Thunder most of the time (by this point, the new MU system was out so I had the OP 41/50). Even in Poly DM, I used Thunder more; but this is only cause of all the MUs i had on it. In general though, I found Smoky M3 to be nothing impressive overall. But that's probably cause I just naturally don't like Smoky, I prefer Thunder's raw damage more. I also never used Smoky M2 so I can't say how much of an upgrade it is from M2 --> M3.

 

Now, Titan M3. Amazing. It's speed is perfect for Poly CP with Twins or Thunder. It is incredibly maneuverable and I love it. Not much to say. Good pushing power as well.

 

Nano - I used to only use Emerald and Prodigi, both with a half decent amount of MUs (about 1/3 on both). Nano is a paint that I think it can be useful to have, especially in gismo battles. Rico/Hammer protection is great, and while you shouldn't expect too much out of 20% Smoky, it will keep you alive longer against enemy Smokys.

 

When I reached Marshal, I bought Twins M3 and used Twins/Titan from Marshal to Commander in Poly CP. During this time, I barely laid hands on Smoky.

 

I speak a lot about Poly CP.. But anyways, if you plan on playing lots and lots of Poly CP.. I think you should go with Cardinal. Twins/Titan is much, much (SIGNIFICANTLY) more impressive in Poly CP than Smoky/Titan. And don't worry about Picasso being a iffy paint - you don't have a long range paint atm, and Picasso is good for your Thunder/Viking in large maps (Picasso also comes with Thunder protection). Although I believe that Prodigi is better than Picasso, Picasso isn't bad at all.

 

Another note - if you ask me, whether or not I regret buying Guardian instead of Cardinal at General: At first thought, I would say I regret this; But at the end of the day, I am ok with what I did, cause I got Titan M3 and a medium range paint. But one important thing to note is that I had Prodigi the whole time, so getting Cardinal meant that I would have 2 long range paints. But you dont have a long range paint, so I think getting Cardinal would be better.

 

EDIT: And don't worry about facing Rock. In Poly CP Commander and under, you may see Rock here and there, but not enough to make you quit using Twins. When you play in Gismo Poly CP, Rock is definitely a problem. But other than that, you should be fine. ALSO- if you put some MUs into Twins, Twins/Titan will almost always get you top 2. High D/L, and Twins/Titan is a combo that is a "must-have" on a successful Poly CP team. Even Twins without MUs is good; Stock Twins M3 > Smoky M3 imo.

 

Why would Smoky not be good if it is the most expensive M3?

It's good but not in Poly CP. In large maps it is definitely good. But Idk what you play

If you log in only to complete daily missions, you might be able to get Minotaur before Major. And your overall plan is unrealistic in some areas. Let's say you get Minotaur at the very end of Major. Then, you need to save immediately for Medic, then save immediately for Guardian after buying Medic.

[Official-Kofi 29]

Lets assume you earn crystals at the same rate you earn experience.

You still need about 85000 experience points til 1st Lieut, so you will earn 85000 crystals.

On top of that, you will earn rank up crystals: 7900 + 8900 = 16800 crystals.

That brings you to a total of 101800 crystals.

This means you still need to earn 50000 crystals more, which might be achieved by completing missions.

It won't be that easy though and you shouldn't rank up too fast, since you need as many daily missions as you can get.

It's good but not in Poly CP. In large maps it is definitely good. But Idk what you play

I play on Polygon, Hill, Noise, Island, Arena, and Rio. I mid-field on Polygon and Noise. I attack on Polygon, Hill, Rio, Noise, and Island. I take gold boxes on Island, Noise, Hill, and Polygon. FC, the only reason I didn't want to get Cardinal was because if I got Smoky during the June sale, I would then save up for Rock so that I could MU both my Isida and Smoky for Twins to have a harder time dealing with me on all maps. I didn't know that I would really need a heavy hull early. Plus, I would rather get Prodigy than Picasso. But, if you think I can manage with Cardinal then that's what I'll get. I would have Isida/Twins + Viking/Titan to use mostly. 2 long range paints, 1.5 short range paints, and 1 medium range paint.

Ok then get Guardian. Only get Cardinal if you plan on playing 95% Poly CP. But in that case, I would get Prodigi at a later date and get Rock. Also, Thunder and Smoky are good to have cause little paints protect against both, while with Thunder + Twins you have problems with Africa, Cherry, and Emerald

 

Ah I am saying that at half to till captain I get minotaur it isn't unrealistic since I take some li'l help from friends and side by side duel them I don't really earn much EXP now and I am having 6.7K atm at Total_Destructor account so they good enough to get vampire or something at next rank?

For your alt - you could get any M1/M1 kit you like, with skill all are good. But the early M1/M1 kits don't last long, which is why it's a good idea to save immediately for a better kit after you get your M1/M1

[pringerfinger 934]

Ok I am getting short on tanki time so just completing missions and I don't wanna rank up till end of june or july and wanna get Minotaur on drugs to fix mah D/L so will I be able to achieve this? then following same path I wanna get Atlas and Mosquito or Tornado to open up XP/BP so what to choose? Then I wanna get Dict M2 for golds then Medic so will it be possible and good? Then I wanna like to have in my garage Legend then Guardian so will it be achievable? After rank the rank of General I'll make plan for it when I get on comp

 

 

PS: As I said I am getting real short on time because of Life

PPS: Real long post :P

 

Mosquito. Tornado doesn't open up xp/bp.

Okay, I'll get Guardian. Stock M3 Smoky and M3+ (5/50) Isida with stock Viking M3 and stock M3 Titan with Emerald, Storm, Sandstone, and Hohloma; later to get Prodigi and Rock, right?

Ya. And maybe a short range paint too, e.g. Lumberjack or Zeus

I will definitely be playing the DM tournaments when those come out. And since there will be other maps other than Poly (e.g. I saw Forest DM in the  vlog), I need a medium hull. My questions is, should I get Viking or Dictator for Smoky/Thunder and possibly Twins M3?

 

also, is Lumberjack worth its price tag? I don't really plan on MUing it a whole lot.

[Oblitzerator 4]

Ok, so I should get the boar kit and mu dict in the future?

I use rail quite a bit, it's my best long-range gun, but I almost never play xp/bp. I usually use rail with hunter.

[fordmustang12345 3,910]

Hey. I have 130 000 crystals and I am really hesitating in between M2 turrets. Unfortunately, my rank does not allow me to have m2 smoky, which I really wanted, so now my choice is stuck between hammer m2, railgun m2, fire m2 and thunder m2. Please keep in mind my rank and tell me why one turret is better than the other. Thank you.

keeps saving for a kit. If you can't wait for a kit buy M2 firebird. Great attack weapon and also good for defence

Ya, get Boar. MU Dict to maybe 10/50 if you wish, you will really feel a difference in maneuverability and speed. But don't over do it. For a non-buyer, 15/50 is tops (about enough to match M3 Viking's health, which is good)

[HaloScorpionV2 438]

I love my hunter; it drives beautifully, and takes golds better.

 

I also love my xt viking; it looks beautiful.

 

Which to MU without considering price?

Me too, What would be a good DM combination for me to buy at Tanki's birthday? I will be a lieutenant general (less than 1k exp away from it right now), but could work to general if I needed to get something. I don't know how many crystals I earn per day, but I have 298,994 right now. I already have m3 hornet, and an assortment of m2 turrets, with firebird being the only one that I assume will work at lieutenant general.

Save for a good m3 kit like titan+smoky or titan+twins.
