In 2015/May/21, in my old account. I was gathering my crystals to buy Thunder M3 and Viking (M2 most probably), in the next 50% sales. The sales were close, but in the last moment I just changed my opinion to buy this Firewall kit, because I assumed it will make me rank faster with Firebird M2. Thus my Garage become weak forever

You must be joking, before immunity augments were released Firewall was a beast, Firebird with its op afterburn dmg and stock dmg along with hunters mobility, weight and armor… Noise used to be infested with those pests, it was very good for farming exp too I’m sure.

Check the image carefully, that screenshot is from before dinosaurs got extint. Looks like then Firewall (an M2 Kit) was still available at that rank, and the poster is talking about buying M3, so buying an M2 kit at that late rank was a bad purchase.

I don’t have any purchases I regret, however I do have 2 regrets of NOT purchasing. 
1st - Not buying Viking XT whilst it was in the garage for 500k crystals. For some reason I chose not too but then it became an obsession. I’m embarrassed to think how many containers I opened trying to get it. 
2nd - Bumblebee paint, I didn’t believe Tanki when they said it would not be released again. When ever I see someone wearing it I shed a little tear inside

Firebird on Tanker's Day discount. I had it sitting in my garage at MK5 for years, so i thought, why not? But damn that thing is useless.

Only 2 "good" augments: Compact fuel tanks and incendiary mix.

Compact fuel tanks gets hard countered by heat resistance and immunity... and you have so little fuel that the enemy can use a repair kit and kill you no problem. 

"use hit and run" you say? Impossible, maybe years ago, but not now. You get vaporized by everything, even an enemy fart can deal a critical hit and one-shot you. 

Incendiary mix is ok. but just ok. AP Freeze does the same job 100% better, and don't get me started on Isida + Adrenaline or worse, Vampire Nanobots.

You end up being a discount Isida or Freeze with no special effect, nothing. 

 

Thankfully I also bought Striker, and I am having a blast with it.

ohh right. i see... ;-\

tht kit would still be a good option even against M3's but yes would be funny to buy that instead of a M3 kit

There is technical no regrets.

as in the end, you will reach full garage and nothing to buy with your crystal, except the one u never buy before.

i never use rico and never like it, but in the end, i mu it to mk7+ maxed, as it is the last gun i could spent crystal on, since other gun already maxed, (that’s before tesla introduced)

I only thing i regret is coin box, that is before challenge introduced, at that time, there is nothing to buy for tankicoins except shop item, i could save a few hundred back then if not wasted for coinbox supplies

————

some old cheap paints like tracer, moonwalk paint, that is before paint protection separation, which means useless in battle compared to old 50% paints like Clay, Zues,

While the best thing i bought it xt viking at 500k with daily mission premium, which was a lot of crystal, taking half year saving like today’s 5M crystals in term of time to save,

I remember back in 2013 or so when I was still playing on my alt (MAFFIOZA, if anyone wondered), I was looking at kits to purchase. The account was a Wasp Smoky main, and at some point I had enough crystals to buy Hornet Isida M2 with Loam, and I went for it. I regretted it deeply, but somehow one thing led to another and the account became a Wasp Isida main. I think the purchase of "M2 paints" kit helped a lot, since it gave me the powerful Prodigi paint (with 50% thunder and railgun protection) at a really low rank.

And people say that <2015 Tanki wasn't pay to win, HA!

Fracture paint or loam paint? Because the kit that contained isoda hornet m2 had a fracture paint i believe

Take the rank into account, he bought a second lieutenant available kit at the rank of major general, of course he will get easily destroyed at that rank.

what was the buff that happened to the freezin effect for freeze?

[numericable 2,375]

I have never regret buying anything in tanki garage as we have only one life and regreting something is better than remorse.

Hard to turn turret while easier to run with the tank, while getting freezed.

oh, so turret turn rate was decreased? as it should have been, but hull movement was increased... do you know by what %?

The turning rate is slowed by 90%, it becomes almost impossible to turn it while being totally frozen, and the hull speed was decreased by 34%. Those numbers applies only is the tank has been totally frozen.

Looking at the wiki, "Light Tank M2" kit actually came with Loam, Savanna and In Love paints. Meanwhile "Paint Kit M2" has Prodigi, Rustle and Spark. That checks out with what's shown in the profile.

Oh i thought you were talking about another m2 isida hornet kit which was named "stinger kit" and it has fracture paint, my bad.

Last year I bought the Lotus paint instead of the battle pass, dumb mistake 

 

Spoiler

That's the paint in case you're interested;

Oh I see.. thanks, seems it would turn out to be more usable now as a stealth attacker and, fun as it was before it received the nerf on wasp :)

(34% D:)
