What to buy? Which is better?

Thunderm3 or m2 twins?

Thunder M3 now one-shots Hornet M3 when on double power (and MUed a little bit). Do I need to say any more?

I have a lot of cry and I don't know what to spend it on. I initially was planning on buying m2 hunter and Shaft, but Shaft is crap since the laser update (you ruined my life with that update, Tanki). I will probably buy hunter m2 but since I'm unsure of what turret to upgrade, the turret that i settle on buying may not be as effective with Hunter than a different hull. The only m2's that I have are Isida and Hornet. My main paints are Corrosion, Desert and In Love. My m1's are Hunter, Mammoth, Shaft, Rail, Thunder, Smokey, and Firebird. I guess you could say that I'm a long range kind of guy. I prefer to kill from afar. I like Smokey and Hunter, but it lacks the aiming capabilities of Shaft. However, Shaft has that stupid laser still, so lets pretend like its not an option. Thunder, meh. Rail, meh. Rail is ssuper common, reload time stinks, and the only map it's good for is Monte Carlo, and Thunder's splash damage is really effective at killing me. I think that Smokey would be my number one choice, but I am only a Major. My current thinking is that I will wait for the June sale and buy m2 Hunter and Smokey. But any thoughts are appreciated, especially higher level players that have gone through tough decisions similar to mine. Anyways, I have crystals burning a hole in my pocket, and I need some advice.

 

Thanks!

Railgun is popular because when two, three, or four shot hit someone, ESPECIALLY when they are all on double power, almost nothing survives unless the target has a high rail-protection paint and double armor, and probably a well timed health pack too.

 

I would tell you that M2 Smoky will not be a bad choice in the slightest. Even with the reduced crit damage now, the overall speed and damage that it can put out can wreck face in any match (unless you are up against peeps hiding under Needle  :ph34r: ).

 

I use thunder a lot, even now with it's slower recharge speed, mainly because it can one-shot an M3 Hornet (after a few MUs) when on double power. That means lots of kills, lots of exp, and lots of crystals!

Recently, I bought Jackhammer and, although hammer has been nerfed, Jackhammer hasn't failed to impress me.

The point is -

What to do now ? (remember that i will be micro-upgrading at this discount and buying new hulls or turrets at June)

Option 1 - 60k of MU's on Viking And Hammer + Hornet M3

Option 2 - 40k of MU's on Viking and Hammer + Railgun M3

Option 3 - Thunder M2 + M3

Option 4 - Play a little more and Get M3 Hornet and Railgun

While personally like Thunder M3, I would go for getting Option 4 since you get a new M3 hull and turret. If you like quick experience, see my two above posts.  :)  Of course, that strategy is assuming that there are going to be a bunch of Wasps/Hornets who are willing to stick around to be constant cannon fodder for you, meaning large amounts of players (not good for small maps like Sandbox, Island, etc.).

I actually love m3 xp in sandbox so I beg to differ on that opinion

M3 rail is a good investment because you don't have to worry about tank nerfing their favorite turret in future updates

Not sure why you are down on the rail.  I dominate with the rail and have since before I went M2.  I use an M2 rail witha an M1 Viking and the only maps i won't play this on are the tiny maps.  RIO - dominate, Seperholv - dominate, Monte Carlo - dominate and of course the even bigger maps.  You say you like long range, well, this is the gun for long range, period, far as i am concerned.  It just takes practice.  I admit i am one of the better railgunners out there so take it with a grain of salt (not bragging, just saying i admit, i have played the rail a LOT so i am rly good with it).  I average a 4-5 to 1 kill ratio (and often end competitive games with 20 to 1 kill ratios).  I even like using it with my M2 hornet though if i am grabbin flags, i usually slap my richochet on there.  I almost always finish in top 3 points.  The thing about rail is that it's long range, sure, but up close, if you know what you are doing and have a decent hull, you can usually survive.  What i like is that you don't have to drive across the map to make points.  you can hit anyone, anywhere.  Occassionally, at our level, i see guys with Shaft dominate but these are the really good guys and they have huge M2 hulls and usually, Isidas keeping em alive.There is a reason why the rail is common.  The only other advice i can give you is to use mines.  Mines are worth it and can pay for themselves.  I usually only need to use 2-3 mines per game, and then everyone gets the message - "don't go over there!"  Once you establish your "AO" with mines, you usually can hit someone far enough away that by the time they get to you, you get that second kill shot.  Of course on lighter hulls the M2 rail will usually pop em on the first shot.  On every map i usually work the same spot.  Players have even gotten used to me taking up my position and the Isidas, once they start to realize "he is always there" - will come and heal you.  If you are too random, moving all over, that's not good for a rail.  Pick a spot, learn to dominate it, and your team, if they are any good, will back you up.  On Seperholv, i can usually join a team that is behind and once i get established, if they back me up, we can turn it around and win because i know my spot so well but again, i always, always, play the same spots.  The other team knows i am there, nothing they can do about it unless they bum rush with me 4-5 tanks and they do, but then if you have the other team strategizing against YOU, you are doing somthing right.

As I said, Monte Carlo is the only map it's good for. Too many paints cover for rail anyways so its almost impossible to get kills with them. Its easier to be smokey and just finish off people that have already been hit with a rail shot.

isida m2 or hornet m2?

Hornet m2 if you use Hornet for multiple turrets, and vice versa for Isida.

Twins VS Ricochet

 

Twins has practically become a firebird which can also shoot at long ranges for low damage.The Twins before the rebalance wasnt very good.

Ricochet is a multipurpose gun which can be used for many things.I have M1 for Ricochet.CTFs,Parkour,Medium-range sniping,Returning flags,dealing the damage etc.

M1 - Railgun

M1 - Hornet

M1 - Freeze

M1 - Dictator

M1 - Isida

 

 

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Rail - most popular gun, for good reason

Hornet - versatile hull, best for support/capturing flags

Freeze - better on offense IMO after the recent update, which makes the freeze effect apply mostly to turrets instead of slowing                  the enemy down in movement speed

Dictator - sucks until M2, where it is then passed by M3 Viking. However, is a total beast at M3.

Isida - fast exp, best for team battles. Don't use it in DM; unless constantly on drugs you will always get rekt by long range                        turrets.

[Raredust 454]

1. Thunder or Hammer?

 

2. Vulcan or Twins?

 

3. What's the best paint to buy in terms of price and effectiveness? Completely disregard rank.

Hi guys!

 

I've saved some crystals for a while and I want to spend those crystals soon.

I have 205k of crystals and I was thinking about these upgrades:

• Thunder M2 + M3;
  
• Smoky M2;
  
• Hammer M2.
  

Which of these should I upgrade and why? Or should I upgrade two of them?

 

Other information:

I prefer battles in Sandbox (CTF/CP), Noise (CTF), Polygon (CP) and Serpuhov (CTF). I got a hornet M2 and a hunter M2. I used to use the hornet M2 often, but currently I prefer my hunter M2.

I also have 4 M2 turrets (Freeze M2, Firebird M2, Ricochet M2 and Railgun M2) and 2 m1 turrets (smoky M1 and Thunder M1).

 

I'm looking forward to your comments and advices.

Twins all the way. If you can adapt very well you can take out even DICO's

(1) Thunder, M3 has equal damage, hammer has .5 more. But if you think about mid range battles Three shot a Jackyboy

(2) Twins,i say this probabbly because im biased but with enough skill you can run circles around opponents.

(3) Alot of controversy and hype on hammer and rico sooo either Clay or Tiger
