What to buy? Which is better?

[MentallyDeranged 740]

lolo M2 Viking can survive two Rail shots? Not really. I use M2 Viking with Emerald (-10% Rail) and it's hard to stay alive after 2 rail shots. Especially when you come up against Rail users who spent a great deal of crystals on MUing it. But surviving a Shaft M2 is the biggest advantage of Viking over Hunter.

 

Ok here is my genuine opinion. Winter and Loam have strong protection against one turret, but minimal protection from the others. Loam has good Firebird protection... but it only has good protection against Firebird. The other three 10% protection won't help. Go with another paint like Inferno, which has decent protection from Freeze and Firebird, which makes it a good attacking paint. I don't really know a situation where a paint with only Firebird protection will help you. Next, Winter. 38% Shaft. Makes a M2 feel like a M0. I'm not sure if you're a Shaft user or not, but let me tell you this. In DM, Winter paint won't really directly protect you from Shaft. It's more like (from the perspective of a Shaft user) "Oh, that Viking has Winter. I won't shoot him, because my shot will be useless". And besides, after getting a reload nerf, usually Shaft users will want to make every shot a kill. However, I know you like playing TDM, and if you play a lot of Serpuhov or Stadium, then Shaft protection will be good. But if you just need a paint to keep your M2 Hunter alive, stick to another paint (like Sandstone). Then, Holhoma. This paint looks awesome and has decent protection. But the combination of paint is where it makes me not recommend it. I mean, Freeze,  Ricochet, Smoky... in what type of situation will this combination of protection help you? See, other paints like Emerald (good for DM) and Inferno (good for attacking) will help you especially in special situations. The only map where this paint could be helpful would be Noise, I guess. But other than that, this paint (IMO) is a bit more recommendable than Loam or Firebird. Last, Savanna. Pretty popular paint, and good enough for me to recommend it. 20% Rail won't help on light hulls, but on heavier hulls, it will (e.g. allowing a Viking to survive two rail shots). And the 40% Smoky will definitely help too. Smoky and Rail protection is good on maps like Bobruisk, where these weapons are prevalent.

 

If you get Hunter M2, make sure you get paint with Shaft protection (You only need 15%, so Sandstone is good). Or else you'll be an easy target for Shafts. M2 Viking is a good buy. It's biggest advantage over Hunter is that you won't have to worry about Shaft paint, although M2 Hunter is definitely a lot faster than Viking. So if you don't mind speed, I recommend you skip Hunter and get Viking. Or, if you want Hunter, skip Viking and you can get Titan later on.

 

Hornet M2 with Tundra won't do any more than Hornet with Forester. You will still die in 2 Rail shots. It will only make a difference if you use it on heavier hulls. I recommend Rail M2 first, and then you can get Hornet M2.

Thanks,,,, as you advised i bought rail m2 :D

Hmm.. Would Shaft M2 be a good idea for me? I jump from different combo to combo so I think yes. Is Hornet M2 a good hull with Shaft M2? If ya need some info on meh garage.... All M2 except Shaft (for now), Twins, Ricochet, Wasp, Hunter, and Titan. All those are M1. I will not risk telling you all my paints so I won't flood.

How do you have M2 Titan? Well anyways, Shaft/Hornet isn't as effective as Shaft with a heavier hull (e.g. Shaft/Viking), but Hornet's good speed is fast enough to get to a camp spot. If you have M2 Hunter, then Shaft/Hunter is better (although make sure you get a paint with some sort of Shaft protection to prevent getting one-shotted)

[comandantegio 1]

with hornet will be best thunder or isida in silence?

Isida.

Hornet with Shaft M2 is epic :D The only thing I've touched from the drop dead discounts are shaft m2 and hornet m2, I earn around 400 per battle, in 30 minutes.

You can ask Remaine :)

Buy kit.

Ok then .

[M4D_PR0 141]

Hornet m2 is epic with rail m2 or freeze m2 or isida m2.

which one !!?

[Endurance 543]

All 3 fit pretty well with Hornet m2.

I personally would recommend Rail, however it all depends on your gamestyle and what you prefer.

Probably Freeze. Wasp is better with Isida, and Rail is better with Hunter

[doughnut2100 763]

Probably Freeze. Wasp is better with Isida, and Rail is better with Hunter

Took the words right out of my mouth. :p

[FC_BayernMunchen 1,941]

Well, I guess Freeze/Wasp would be better than Freeze/Hornet since M2 Wasp has pretty much the same HP as M2 Hornet.

[In10shnableFoul 38]

Would Mammoth Smoky be better than Titan Smokey in DMs?

What should I save for now Firebird M2 or Thunder M2?

And will it be correct choice to MU my Rail M2 or any other M2s (only once or twice)?

Honestly looking at stats, thunder m2 isnt that much better than m1.... but firebird is a lot better than m1 in terms of damage, so firebird. Plus, you can get thunder in a kit. I don't think it's worth microupgrading rail m2- it's expensive and really doesn't help that much IMO

Thunder m2 definitely. This coming from a guy who has both.
