What to buy? Which is better?

Anybody here that uses the Slugger alteration for Hammer? Is the slowed turret rotation bearable on Viking? Do you notice a significant damage increase than without the alteration?

Slugger is mainly for mid-rangers who like Hammer. It's semi-useful on some maps like Noise when going up the tunnel, you can ricochet off the opposite wall, but other than that it's not really all that useful.

Yes , i prefer that option . I got 3 accounts , on my 2nd im a single red star ( acc name sezze if you want to look it up ) , and i have now a isida m2 10/10 , a rico m2 9/10 and vulcan 6/10 ( or 7/10 ) and a hunter 10/10 . Dont care about prot atm  . If you upgrade at the sales , you get plenty of crystals by the time you get marchal , i mean really a lot .. and then you spend it in 1 go at a sales when you get to marchal ( or upgrading your m2 10/10 straight as high as possible m3+ lvl  ) and or buy something more and do not forget a couple of modules .

The advantage of buying a kit is that you can get higher equipment at lower lvl . Once you are 3 yellow stars , you can buy a kit and start upgrading , and it will be at least 10/20 by the time you are marchal . Its personal choice ... getting stronger faster , but with not so good module , or wait it out , get everything you really like to 10/10 and just save the crystals . With unlimited crystals , i would do both offcourse ... meaning upgrade m2 to 10/10 and buy a kit once available , but thats mighty expensive . When you wait sales its certainly around the same price for m3 items you choose vs kit .

But i feel that once I reach the 3 golden stars rank (lieutenant general ) I will be facing M4s , and it will be impossible for me to rank up to marshal , so I have to buy a new kit . and if I do , I will not have enough crystals to MU it to M4 or at least halfway and this will put me in the same position all over again . I guess I'll just have to rank up and see how much crystals I get then decide .

You don't need to turn an M3 into M4 overnight.  Just keep Mu-ing during sales and you will slowly whittle away the M4 advantages.

The difference now is less than 1-2 yrs ago - M3s were all boosted so at most you start with a 13%-14% gap.

 

Personally I'd rather have M3 modules and a couple choices at M3 than trying to make one combo M4 - has diminishing returns.

If you have only one combo and run into protections ~ 50%, you are stuck. 

 

Having ability to switch between (preferably one shorter-range and one longer-range) a couple turrets to avoid that high protection module outweighs the few % points improvement you get when MU-ing toward M4.

 

I accumulated 3 hulls, 4-5 modules and 4 turrets.  Now with every sale I do 1 MU on all my items - never pay for speed-up.

So I save a ton of crystals while getting in approx 11 Mus on every single sale.  If you had 1 combo, you'd only leverage 3 MUs each sale.

okay , So I should keep MUing my current combo and when I unlock  M3 kits I buy one that fits my needs 

I think the currently active kit "Prometheus" (Firebird , hunter , Protection against Fire , Twins and Freeze) is good

If you like your current combo - then yes - keep upgrading that so you remain competitive in battle where you face higher ranks.

 

And yes, target a kit (or two - they are so random you often can't get one you want) that complements your current combo.

Obviously don't get two medium hulls, etc...

well I'm almost done MUing my current tank

Thunder is already finished (10/10)

Dictator currently (7/10) and going to (8/10)

Kodiak T-D currently (6/10) and going to (7/10)

 

I still have 220k crystals , more than enough to finish everything up ,I'll finish them and stick to that combo until I unlock M3s 

[Psychooo 14]

Smoky, Firebird, Twins, Thunder, which is better in m2 level?

Firebird or Twins

That point you will always get at some lvl , you gonna have to find a way past it . Now you can choose which battle to enter . In the future it will only be pro which you can choose . choose them which got the lowest lvl against you . I mean , once you got 3 or 4 star area , there will always be marchals around and on some battles prob even legends . Avoid them when possible . When you are 1 yellow star you will see 3 stars who bought the kits and started on the upgrade and might be a serious buyer here and there who upgraded till +15/20 but those things arent cheap and they are rare . So you will always get to that point .... it doesnt matter . My advice , just upgrade what you like . Also think aout the future ... i mean ... you can buy a kit , but remember those arent cheap also and after that you need upgrades , which get expensive quickly . Or keep everything on hold once you get the 10/10 lvl and wait it out till marchal and you got plenty of crystals to upgrade allready to a nice lvl .

I have it on an alt, although i dont have viking i do have hunter with it, which is pretty similar. your mostly going to be relying on your hull turning speed, but because the alt decreases cone radius, you can land better shots at long range, allowing you to stand at a safe distance where the turret rotation isnt that important. Damage is much more consistent, and usually higher since you can land all your shots, but again, you're gonna want to stay at a longer range from your targets.

Rail 10k alt , worth it ?

[LUCIFER1_the_dark 1,230]

Rail 10k alt , worth it ?

Nope.

The 100k one is necessary if u want to use rail in non pro else even thats not worth it in pro.

[gokuMI6 1,290]

Nope.

Yes , i was talking about NP's but what about the +50% reload time M2 rail is 4.9 s

+50% it will be around 6 s

Should I buy Isida M1 during sale? Also Titan m1? Or maybe freeze m2 if I rank...

I am planning to buy minotaur with stable plasma which will cost me 250K crys, but I will have to rank to diamond 3 rank. That's 4 ranks away. I played a non-pro battle with them today and boi, it was harsh, because they were drugging like crazy, I fought M2s with my M1. 

I normally play polygon CP pro battles, because we can farm xp and crystals, would buying any of these(Isida M1, Titan M1, Freeze M2) help me get to diamond 3?

I use Thunder Viking M1.

If I buy Isida, I will farm xp with Isida Viking M1.

If I buy Titan, I will camp with Titan Thunder M1. 

If I buy Freeze, I will play Freeze M2 Viking M1.

If I buy Titan and any turret above, I can play Arena or Island pretty easily.

I have 212K crys right now.

I personally woudnt buy Freeze m2, its pretty weak. You probably shoudnt buy more m1s at this point, but Isida could be useful.

So I am almost to the lvl where M3 kits start unlocking. Im planning on getting the Rail/Hornet kit just because I like to occasionally play xp, but for normal battles, is that combo a decent one? Currently my main combos are fire/thunder and viking/hornet, but since I won't be able to M3 either of my main turrets until Marshal, what would be a good turret to use in the mean time. I'm planning on MUing my m3 hornet and eventually viking when I hit Marshal, but for a while, I'll just be using hornet. Would smoky or Ricco do better that Rail as a light hull mount? Or can rail be a fine normal battle gun. I'd don't want to hear "Hornet/Rail is the best" or "XP sucks", but rather reasons

[ghost-guns 1,486]

What should I get out of:

 

Thunder

Hammer

Shaft

Mammoth

Dictator

Wasp

[RevengeAttacker 217]

Today I battled with a shaft M1 9/10, and it constantly one shot me with arcade with DD. Even though I was using my viking M1. Is Twins M2 better than that?

shaft M1 can kill a Viking M1 with 1 shot even without MUs , but he can't do it in arcade not even with DD , maybe you were already damaged or it wasn't an arcade shot

 

twins M2 is great ONLY if you have drugs , If you don't its trash

I hear Railgun is fairly useless without the alt, but you can steal kills or keep a high K/D with DP in DM/TDM. I would go for Smoky though.

Twins M2 only good when drugging?

I am going to play pro battles so is it bad? Others wont have drugs, but I wont have drugs too
