What to buy? Which is better?

[Rhythmic 80]

Only the normal, Dictator OD is out. And if Firebird stopped being able to shoot through tank, I would have noticed ;)  Im not trolling; I assure you, Im right.

Well if you main Dictator, you would know that it's hitbox is the largest of the hulls, so the spread can affect you. If you were a Wasp hiding behind a Dictator, you'd be fine. Plus @railgunisfornoobz supports my claim.

Ive never had any problem frying people hiding behind tanks, but I suppose I could be wrong. Ill test it out :D

EDIT: I was right...

My man, are you blind or just plain trolling?

That update was pointless, the cone is big enough to go over or around the tank.

No.

1. I heard firebird and freeze can't shoot through tanks anymore, is it bad?

They can't shoot through tanks, but they can still damage multiple tanks at once. Firebird is fine, Freeze is meh as it has been forever.

 

Overdrives are out

He's talking about hull overdrives, which are separate thing. Mammoth will get an arguably better overdrive than Titan when the new ODs are released.

[Pyre 3,485]

Rhythmic was sort of right. I did research (Playing Tanki) and if you shoot through a tank, the tank behind is damaged, however, I did read somewhere in the Wiki that is doesnt shoot through tanks, so I cant fault Rythmic if the Wiki disagrees with me. Still trying to figure out how it works though :X Time for more research! I should be doing homework, but eh, my grades are fine :D

 

Simple version: Firebird does not shoot through tanks per say, but it still damages tanks behind them. Not sure how. If you are considering buying Fire, assume it shoots through tanks for gameplay purposes.

I never heard of them until I just watched the vlog of them. I would honestly quit Tanki Online and go back to Tanki X if they implemented them, because they're literally the same ideas, but better graphics and more.

Told you so. :rolleyes:

The two are honestly quite different...

Only right in theory...

[pringerfinger 934]

Ive been planning to buy minotaur.. is firewall better? I don't like it because of the hunter. Should I buy fire m2 too?

IMO yes, you can damage multiple people at one time, but twins can shoot further.

Save for kits n buy them, or wait for marshals to buy individual eqipments?

 

The delemma of every non buyer,

 

I have 100k crys n m2.5s n m stuck with a delemma.

 

Mu my garage in sales or save for m3 kits, or wait till marshal save for individual equipments, and mu a bit in these sales.

 

Or save 350k+ for a m3 kit.

 

What is the best option?

Do the math and find out whats cheaper, MU to M3, or buy kit. Although buying a kit you can then start to MU to M4. Don't wait till marshal, you are still a long ways away.  Benefits of have M3 early is the ability to play with higher ranks, and have the advantage over your own.

definitely save for M3 kit , you can always MU your M2.5s to M3 to get them for free , no rush in that . But playing with generals without an M3 is such a big mistake , you'll never be able to fight back.

[Rhythmic 80]

I'll MU Thunder and Viking to m3 for mid-range, but I really want to get an m2 attacking turret too. I was considering Hammer; should I get it, and the m2 drum magazine alteration? I would've chosen Twins, but it'll take longer to kill someone than Hammer, where it's better for swift flag steals, since you want to get out of the enemy base ASAP.

It would be very beneficial to buy at least 1 M3 kit. :)

well .... most of you have M3s (If not all) some of you even have M4s or M3.5 , M2s don't stand a chance against those soooooooo :)

Ok...Soooo maybeee my thunder is m3.5, but most have protection against it anyway Dx

I've played with my thunder M3 against gizmos , honestly , many of them had protection , but with medium drugging I MANAGED TO reach the top of the leaderboard With the winning team

[MJROCKS05 428]

I want to minimize the number of m2s I buy because I want to save as much as I can for an m3 kit, and it'll lessen the value of a kit if I upgrade from an m2 combo instead of an m0 combo. I'll MU Thunder and Viking to m3 for mid-range, but I really want to get an m2 attacking turret too. I was considering Hammer; should I get it, and the m2 drum magazine alteration? I would've chosen Twins, but it'll take longer to kill someone than Hammer, where it's better for swift flag steals, since you want to get out of the enemy base ASAP.

 

I play mostly medium to medium-large maps, so you could argue that Hammer is useless for me, but in reality, A LOT of combat in Tanki takes place close(ish) range. The high HP of hulls, protection modules and map design support it. There aren't many (practical) long lines of sight in this game, and most of the time a Vulcan/Rail/Shaft would be guarding it so it's hopeless to take that path anyway.

I've replied to one of your posts before regarding a similar question and I believe I recommended you to get hammer. I still strongly suggest that you go for it and yes, do buy both the alterations with it so that you have no problem using it in med-long ranged maps. Another thing I told you was that you shouldn't worry about having less crystals for the higher ranks, you still have plenty of time till you get there and you can easily get about 2 m3 kits if you play and spend wisely.

 

Looking at your profile I would also recommend you get at least 1 protection module (depending on your need) and MU it to m3, definitely makes a difference. Btw, how many crystals do you currently have right now?

[Vegas 960]

Smoky m4 ?/Vulcan m4 ? 

[MJROCKS05 428]

Smoky m4 ?/Vulcan m4 ? 

Smoky m4 ftw --> better damage, best with titan in DM, critical rekts people, not many people have smoky protection, very good with drugs

 

Btw, ask you have both fire and smoky, which one would you recommend to get? I already have Isida, twins and rico so getting fire won't be that useful and as you know many people have fire+rico/twins protection so would smoky be better than it?

I have smky m3 16/20 and became disappointed with it's performance.

 

So I bought Ricco + the MFS alt.  I barely use smoky now that I have Ricco - their range of effectiveness is too similar and Ricco is better.

 

So I do not recommend smoky if you already have Ricco and enjoy it.

As I play island/hill/polygon a lot I was thinking of getting another m3 turret because my garage doesn't have that much of variety right now. People have good protection against isida+twins(rock), twins+rico(lion t-d ), rico+isida(ursa t-h) and there is no very good module with smoky and my current turrets (excluding grizzly t-d). Hence I thought smoky was a great option but as you are saying that rico edges out smoky almost everywhere I am seriously confused as to what to do next. Any solutions?

I haven't played for a bit, can someone answer this please?

 

1. I heard firebird and freeze can't shoot through tanks anymore, is it bad?

2. Any other noticeable buffs/nerfs?

you already have both firebird and freeze M3 on your generalissimo account, why don't you just test them out yourself?

 

 

welcome back anyway :)

Would you recommend Ricco M3 over Rail M3?

[Delicious 3]

Hey! What kit should I buy? Should I wait for M2 kits or buy the Hero kit while it's 45% off? I currently have the Bulldog kit and about 41k crystals
