thanks

:)

Have fun drifting.

Which one do you recommend me :

Shaft or Isida or Ricochet

I mostly play long range , but I go forward as soon as I notice a crystal box :D

I mostly play TDM with my Viking , but sometimes with a hornet .

All my hulls and turrets are M0 :(

 

-thanks

1. Shaft may look like an excellent choice now, but it will be much harder to use in the future.

 

2. With the new physics update, Ricochet will be the best out of the trio of Shaft/Isida/Ricochet.

 

3. For Crystal box collecting, I recommend Hornet.

 

4. Do not upgrade many items to M1. Or else you won't have enough crystals for M2 and you will be so noob.

 

 

I think if you play TDM, Ricochet will work better. Reason being that with Isida, most people tend to focus on healing. That's good, however keep in mind that it isn't a Darn CTF match. Your deaths matter too. So most Isidas will be dumb and leave themselves exposed. Soon they will rack up a number of deaths- so many that it's not worth their healing. Understand? However, if you start playing CTF (Which gets A LOT more common as you rank up because I've also created new accounts, and at your rank, no CTF matches. Only DM and TDM because of slow hull speed) then you might want to consider Isida. So which do you like? Close-ranged only? Or Close-medium ranged? Just don't include Shaft. As you rank up, you'll be relying more on Kill-stealing. Especially since in the future Physics update, Hulls you will be able to 1-shot like Wasp and Hornet will be traveling very fast, So fast you will have a very tough time aiming for them.

 

Ricochet will get buffed in the future when the physics update comes out, and if you try it out on test server, it's mighty fine. Do NOT get Mammoth. Soon in the new Physics update, Mammoth will suck.

 

P.S.: It's important to learn how to save crystals. In this game, one wrong purchase and you'll be noob. Do not buy expensive paints anytime soon. Start buying maybe when you get to Major rank. or higher. Stay with Forester paint for now. Why? You're a Hornet- or will be soon. Right? ;)  So to avoid getting 1-shot from Railguns like me. :wub:  Get a cheap railgun paint. Trust me, Forester will save your tank's life. You can start not using Railgun paint after you get M2 Hornet- because by M2, Railguns overall will have a nearly impossible time trying to 1-shot you when you have full health. I used it (Forester) until what, Lieutenant Major rank? The rank I am now. :) Even if a sale comes, it does not mean you automatically have to purchase something. Figure out what you need and don't need. Say you hate using Twins. Just because there is a Twins 50% off sale, doesn't mean you must buy it. Because if you don't like it, the fact is that you'll probably never use it and it'll just sit in your garage- a waste of precious crystals. I skipped a few sales already. :P  And when thinking about what to upgrade first, Hull or Weapon. think of it this way. Which one is worth it more? Ok, lets say there is Isida and Hornet. What do you want to upgrade first? Well in this case Hornet would be better to upgrade first. Why? Well you wont be able to get 1-shotted by Railguns that easily. Your health is increased significantly along with your speed. Furthermore, Isida could be upgraded second because not only is the change from M0 to M1 not as big as Hornet's change from M0-M1, but in overall standards, Isida is a weapon that grants you points easily. B)  So before you know it, you'll get it to M1. Besides, it's less expensive than Hornet. Kind of like doing your work. Solve the hard problems first. :D

 

Viking will be the slowest out of the Medium Hulls. I heard some bad reviews on it due to the Physics update. The Dictator hull seems to be the best hull out of the medium hull set. Not to mention it's cheaper. So in my opinion, work with Dictator or Hunter- NOT Viking.

 

My opinion: Ricochet + Hornet + Forester Paint.

 

Remember, get a good paint. A paint should cost 75,000 crystals or higher. Those are worth it.

 

 

P.P.S: I just saw your other post on how you agreed that Isida was a boring weapon to use. Well then you'll want Ricochet- confirmed. Ricochet is not only effective after the new physics update, but it has never been more fun. The problem is however that you must learn how to use the Ricochet's ricochet affect. Ricochet means to bounce. So in other words, the bouncing effect. It will take practice though.

 

P.P.P.S: Remember to watch out for Sales. Usually on Russian Holidays or International Holidays like Christmas.

Hehe i knew it

[EliteBomber1213 9]

Anybody know what's really good to save up for at my rank?

[TheLonelyEpic 212]

Anybody know what's really good to save up for at my rank?

Thunder M1.

[Hungry.Hungry.Hippo 45]

When i rank im going to buy crystals, i wanted m2 wasp, m1 m2 twins and m1 m2 thunder, however with the new updates im unsure.

 

Are twins worth it or should i get rico.

 

And what about hulls?

 

Already got m2 hornet, mammoth and dictator

 

I jus dont want to buy all this new stuff for it to get nerfed

 

Cheers

[Irontank1v 836]

First get hornet m3, and for weapons i think smokey will be better choice then twins or rico.

[dardayy 493]

Buy nothing and use nothing until the new physics will happen :D

[doughnut2100 763]

Yeah im not buying anything till then. But i dont understand what you mean by 'nerfed'?

[r_ProFromSlo0 28]

i have hornet m2 and isida m2, so i got bored of isida and now i dont know what to buy. im thinking of these three: thunder/railgun/smoky. i have 90.000 crystals.

 

P.S. im first lieutenant on my acc, this is alt.

Nerfed means that it will be made weaker.

It was either create a new thread, or ask here.. not sure which would've fit my question better but here it goes:

 

It seems that using double power drugs (especially with railgun) are worth their expense. If you use 10 of them in a match, (Say a 10v10 kungur CTF) and you don't die, wasting your minute of double damage, you can usually place first or second, scoring 5+ kills per minute. Usually (in my experience) you make back your 500ish spent crystals, (or less if you buy drug kits - or bought them on the recent 50% off sale) and then gain more.

 

How do you all feel about the use of double powers, and which weapon do you think is best to use, with it activated? <- This is where my question would apply to this topic.

[KenzoMotee 12]

I'm major sergeant and i would like to upgrade my gun to m1 so I have firebird m1 but don't suit me so i'm good with thunder,shaft and railgun but would like a fun to use instantly .so what do you reccomendi save my money or buy smoky or isida or shaft.

A weapon with fast reload fire is better. Railgun isn't very good with DD, neither is Thunder. For best results while drugging use Smoky, or a short range weapon, like firebird, freeze and isida.

[Irontank1v 836]

i have hornet m2 and isida m2, so i got bored of isida and now i dont know what to buy. im thinking of these three: thunder/railgun/smoky. i have 90.000 crystals.

 

P.S. im first lieutenant on my acc, this is alt.

I would say rail m2, i still use it at this rank and against generalismos it amazing and fun to play with.

Im a railgunner and whenever i feel like buying drug i just buy Double Power. This way i can camp somwhere safe and enjoy oneshot kills. Its effective in both CTF and DM

 

so what do you reccomendi save my money or buy smoky or isida or shaft.

Save your money for rail. I know how difficult it is to save when you can buy other weapon, but try and trust me it will be worth it.

Really? I never thought that to be true... I just assumed since Railgun could kill steal amazingly, also 1 shot kills, even as soon as people spawn, that it was best. Especially when facing enemy druggers, they usually let themselves get fairly low on hp before using health kits. So I thought a nicely timed double damage railgun shot would wreak havoc upon them. Smoky though... Im glad you said that, cause I like using Smoky alot. Do you have further information to support this theory?

 

 

 

Also, how big of an improvement would you say Railgun M1-M2 is? And M2-M3? It seems M0-M1 is the biggest jump... Ive been putting off on purchasing M2 rail because it looks like only a fairly small damage increase of about 20 damage? Am I wrong?

The main factor for my theory is that the effect of the drugs are timed. The other factor is that you die very fast. For the most part if you're on a light or medium hull and wearing a rail, you tend to die after letting off one shot. (unless camping etc), with a Smoky you can probably let off 10-20 shots which is more damage than one rail shot. Or you can fire with Twins for 10-20 seconds which is also more damage. (notice that I refer to fast-paced open drug wars, not capture the flag games, or camping). There is a reason so many drug wars at high ranks are played with Twins and Smoky (and sometimes Thunder).

 

If, on the other hand, you just want to use some supplies in a normal game to gain advantage, using rail may be a good choice - because you will have lot's of light hull opponents. In drug wars there are Mammoths and a couple Medium hulls for the most part.

 

To be honest I have no more concrete evidence to support my theory. It's just that I've taken a lot of time to observe high rank drug wars, and I noticed that fast reload weapons have a lot of advantage - they tend to get more kills, and not die as much due to quick reload.

[r_brandybabyxx0 737]

I hate hate hate drug wars with a passion. Although Ive never bought a no-supplies battle pass because it seems there are hardly any matches open.. and the ones that are, are usually full of generalissimos.

 

Honestly I think we should all choose a server to make our no-supplies matches on, so all of us who like playing no-supplies can actually make our passes worth the money... In fact I might start a thread about that.

 

Yes, my idea was to use some supplies in a normal game to gain an advantage. Hence only the use of double damage, and not armor/health kits/ etc. I realize rail sorta sucks in huge drug war games full of mammoths... those bore me to death and waste my hard earned crystals from my attempt at drugging back...

Btw, This kinda didnt make sense...mathematically. if you can get 10-20 shots in a smoky, you can get 3-5 shots off in a rail.
