What to buy? Which is better?

[FrozenRailgun 1,771]

You know what's the most sickening? Everyone using Viking with Uranium in JGR just to get that easy kill. It's so cheap and it makes me hate so many people there because of their tendency to only use that. Thank God I got Orka M3...

What about Hornet/Dictator-Cyclone too? 'Least you can escape easier than Uranium.

 

How the hell you have M3 Orka??? Bought it before June 4th 2018???

He bought the 4-protection pack during the shop sales. He told me :)

I was going to ask whether to buy Magnum or Hammer today, but decided to go for the latter because gameplay with it is more dynamic. Also I already have both turrets at m1 on an alt. account, but couldn't decide which one was more effective in battles.

 

Please tell me I did the right thing, because I'm notorious for making wrong decisions. Lol

Glad to say that this time you didn't make the wrong decision. Hammer M3 is very powerful, especially with the Slugger alt. You can say that Duplet is still prevalent, but it's received a lot of well-deserved nerfs which make it borderline useless for me.

Thank you for telling me this, very appreciated.

 

The Hammer is still at factory settings, meaning I didn't upgrade it, well only the first step. Also didn't get any alteration for it, maybe Slugger or Duplet, or both if I can save up in time for the sale. Regardless, it's still doing okay in battles, better than the performance I got when using Twins M3 for the first time.

What do you mean “easier”?

And I don’t see how hornet is better compared to wasps’ increased speed and armour.

Hello???

[FrozenRailgun 1,771]

Hello???

M3 Hornet has more stability than M3 Wasp. HP is the same.

Quartet huh??? Gonna grab Cyclone to shut down that Orka.

I was talking about the m2 modifications.(anyway wasp m3 has higher speed than hornet)

Or just make him rage-quit by using Viking/Uranium :)

I know Tidebreaker'sopinion, but I was just wondering. Is Incendiary still the best vulcan alt if I have a pet isida?

[kNormal 18]

Alright, it's settled than. I will proceed to no-life grind for boar kit, and than repeat for chiropractor. It seems sad that I can't really buy anything for the 50% sales right now. :/

 

 

 

Update!

I can grind for a bit longer, so I'll get isida m2. I need another m2 aside from rail, so yeah!

I wouldn't consider Incendiary Band as viable as it was before the Vulcan nerf. That damage decreases is very heavy and you can notice it especially when you're far away from it and they're shooting you. The only damage you'd really be noticing in that situation is the afterburn damage. 

 

Now, I still see some Incendiary Band Vulcans around, however, I don't heal them since they don't bring as much food to the table for our team than they used to. I would more support the attackers or a Stock Vulcan. Many players have Firebird protection initially equipped. That brings Incendiary Band's effectiveness down since it would more or less rely on the afterburn damage. Players aren't as afraid to go out into the open to attack them like they were before. If you have Firebird and Vulcan protection modules equipped, then you're set to take them on.

 

It's tough but I would say it is the best with a pet Isida when holding down the middle of the map and/or defending. Stock Vulcan is the better choice to heal when attacking.

I'm getting very close to that fateful rank, . I have enough to buy 3 M3 kits and still have a bit left over. These are the kit combos I am looking at, thoughts?

 

Prometheus + Guardian + Legend - This gives me a good spread of M3 turrets and hulls. I get Fire and Smoky for MM battles, and XP, for 1,399k out of 1.470k.

 

Prometheus + Cardinal + Legend - This seems a bit close-range heavy - I'd lack a good midrange option. I've also heard that twins protection doesn't help much. I get Fire and Twins for MM battles, for 1,381k out of 1.470k. I'd need the stable plasma alt as well.

 

Challenger + Vandal + Legend - Striker/Twins/Rail is pretty versatile. I do lose out on the Fire protection and turret. 1.344k out of 1.470k.

 

Challenger + Prometheus + Legend - Fire/Striker/Rail is also pretty versatile. No midrange option if Striker doesn't work for me though. 1.402k out of 1.470k.

 

Challenger + Turtle + Legend - Striker/Smoky/Rail gives me a midrange option if Striker is not to my taste/gets nerfed, at the cost of a close range option. 1.342k/1.470k, so is beat out by the next option:

 

Challenger + Nomad + Huntsman - As above, but for 1.273k/1.470k.

 

Challenger + Nomad + Man-o-War - Striker/Thunder/Rail leans more heavily into long-range battles. Thunder is good with Hornet though. 1.285k/1.470k

 

All of the above combinations get me Hornet, Hunter, and Titan for my hulls (arguably the best in each category), Zeus (the best paint <3), and XP (for XP/BP battles). Any other 3-kit combos that do the same could be considered as well.

Get Legend first and then contemplate on the other two after.

Hello guys. I'm planning to get a hunter m3 but am looking to see if it's still worth to mu my m2 dictator to m3 through the lieutenant ranks. 

[Retaliate 503]

So the drone "Booster" Allows you to do more damage with DD on right? If so what drone would be better, "Booster" or the new drone "Brutus" ? What does more damage?

[Maf 32,324]

So the drone "Booster" Allows you to do more damage with DD on right? If so what drone would be better, "Booster" or the new drone "Brutus" ? What does more damage?

Booster at full MU gives you 5 seconds of 200% damage as soon as you activate DD. After that it's standard 105% damage (not counting DD). With the Brutus drone it's 110% damage all the time. I'd say Booster is better, but Brutus is good if you don't want to bother with timing your usage of DD, since it's a passive ability.

Hey guys, umm so I have a little dillema, the upcoming sales are really great, but, should I buy Voltage kit when I rank up or should I MU some of my M1's ? I really don't know. Please help, thanks :) 

[Michael828 817]

Hello guys. I'm planning to get a hunter m3 but am looking to see if it's still worth to mu my m2 dictator to m3 through the lieutenant ranks. 

Isn't Hunter m3 a little far from your rank at the moment? Since you already have Dictator m2 it should help you enough through the mid ranks. Fully upgrade it if you're planning to stick with it, or upgrade it decently if you're planning to eventually switch to Hunter. By the time you reach Marshal or Lieutenant General you could easily have enough crystals to purchase a Hunter (it is the cheapest m3).

You don't need to upgrade most of your m1 equipment, just the stuff you use very frequently. Your Freeze m2 should help you a lot in many battles, so maybe focus on that, and start upgrading that Viking to able to use it more effectively with Freeze, unless that's not your playing style of course. If you really enjoy playing with Railgun, then go for the voltage kit, but I see you don't have much experience with Dictator, so I don't know if you'd be satisfied with its speed and maneuverability.

 

Hope this is helpful.

Yeah, that's the point, I haven't played Dictator in ages, and I don't plan to play it. I played mostly with Viking till I got Hornet M2 recently, now I choose them depending on the battle I play.  I hate Hornet's overdrive cause I feel like it's really useless. That's why I use Viking instead. My favorite turrets are definitely thunder, hammer, railgun and of course freeze. But I don't know if it's really worth it to buy Voltage kit just for the railgun...

I can tell you from experience that buying and starting to play Dictator is like cold water on the face :P It's really bad handling, compared to Hunter which is what I use. So is Viking, but Dictator is even worse. Try making a new account and buying Dictator/Railgun, see if you like the combo. It's roughly synonymous at M0.

[Initiate 1,306]

I actually have a question for myself. I was wondering if anyone knew which turrets/hulls are the best jumps up from M2 to M3, ie. I know Titan and Smoky are some really good M1 to M2s, but the jump from M2 to M3 is a bit smaller. I'm thinking in terms of damage/HP, depending on whether it's a turret or a hull ;) I didn't want to look through all of them, but I just noticed the jump from M2-M3 on Titan is really small comparatively.

 

*Edit: specifically I'm looking at Vulcan, Thunder, Rico, Rail, Titan, and Dictator. Aside from getting M3 Shaft/Hunter on sales, I have enough further crystals to M3 two of those. I had pondered getting M3 Titan/Vulcan, but wasn't sure if that was wise. I'll have a bit left over, even if I didn't M3 Titan I could get it about halfway after I have the other 4 M3s (Shaft, Hunter, Vulcan, ______)

 

*Edit #2: Sorry that was really convoluted :P

I think if there was a kit with Viking/Railgun m2 that would be more convenient for you, but sadly there isn't, check https://en.tankiwiki.com/Product_kits if you want to see all the available kits at the moment. Anyway, it seems the better option now is to stick with what you have, and upgrade the turret and hull combo which helps you the most in your battles.

Thx for the advice :D  So, that's the question of Voltage kit solved, but now, I have other questions. I can fully upgrade Viking to M2 level, same with railgun and thunder, freeze I can upgrade to 7/10, on sales of course. But only separately, without combining. So, which one should I do? I feel like freeze will be useless in a couple of ranks... and it's use is very limited. On the other hand upgrading M1's when I already have M2 seem pointless. I don't know.
