What's the worst turret/hull combo?

[qwds 185]

While every combo can be good if used the right way, some are definitely better than others.

Which one is the worst in your opinion?

[wild001 1,422]

Firebird, titan

[TheFatMaxHammer 26]

stock twins, wasp

[alkyng 3,080]

13 turret   7 hulls permutations I think I have tested (91) with exception of anything released after 2019.  And I feel like every turret have its real usage where you may need it, whether titan firebird or whatsoever.  But to write some bad combos (which I think mostly will contain wasp) :

Wasp Magnum 

Wasp Striker (very bad)

Wasp Vulcan (impossible)

Aggressive Dictator (all of your shoots get over players)  which is mostly Ricochet

I can't think of any other, because I still believe all of them are good. Except with some common sense like a short-range attacking turret with slow hull, etc..

Yeah, any light hull with a shooting weapon where you need to stay exposed to the enemy for a long time (ie vulcan and twins) are probably the "worst", besides heavies with short range turrets of course.

Not sure why wasp/striker is so bad, can you explain? Is it that you need to be exposed to the enemy when locking the shot? What if it was used as a sort of sniper? I see railguns and shafts with light hulls often so maybe it could work fine like that.

I'm gonna go with Wasp Shaft.

Shaft is terrible with any non-hovering hull, because you can't quickscope while moving - the aim shakes way too much. And Wasp is probably the worst non-hover hull right now.

[Benefactor 6,888]

Any hover hull combo not using mouse control.

If you equip Vulcan with RAT it becomes a pretty decent combo. Not powercreeping in any way, but a good option regardless

I have a fully upgraded wasp on one account and a 6/10 wasp on my Lieutenant General account and I only use melee turrets (isida and freeze) on it

If I want to use a different / longer range turret on a light hull then I use will hornet because it is more stable and agile (wasp is a great flag and ball carrier because it doesn't lose speed in turns, but has lower acceleration and turning speed). Hornet striker is very good

people are saying Wasp/Twins all that but at least it can do something. here you go MAMMOTH + ISIDA = WHAT THE HELL? 

its too slow to be effective healer unless ur camping at assault point or something its completely useless as attacking conbo mammoths OD is completely useless because youre doing NOTHING IN THE FIRST PLACE! at least with titan or ares you can use OD to support your teammates or defend for 20 seconds or whatever.

Actual Skill Issue 2.0

I use paladin hack, cruasader and ares without mouse controls also the madman i am i pair them with crisis or trickster and guess what? im dominating 1st place easy just like always. Yeah its harder to control but not that it matters for me, i played tanki since 2012 learning keyboard hover hulls was a nice little challenge. and now not only i get free usefull or just flat out hacking overdrives i also get free entertainment in battle chat where people cry about how im using keyboard controls even though im literally killing them every damn time... yall are different breed and i love it

Isida/Dictator probably isn’t the absilute worst but it’s down there. The height just makes aiming even harder, and while Broadband Radiators sounds like a good fix on paper, it makes your range shorter and on top of that you’re using some of it to aim down and not just forward.

Isida Vampire + Mammoth + Crisis is an absolute nightmare and with OD active it's like a freight train coming your way ready to succ and crush you.

You clearly have never had a Support Nanobots Isida + Dictator + Mechanic in your team before. It's the ultimate support tank and in Siege it can win you games. 

Healing + Dictator OD + Healing Crits + Mechanic Repair Kit spam, renders most of the team immortal if they are competent enough.

I didn't start using heavy hulls until I completely upgraded trickster, but mammoth isida can be fun to use with trickster (and crisis surely)

I use titan twins trickster on one account and mammoth twins trickster on another (all fully upgraded) and often do well

Chasing people with mammoth od and trickster is still funny

What I don't understand is people using heavy hulls without trickster or crisis. They are so slow.

Yeah I know, still, in some maps in can be pretty powerful, like in Sandbox. 

And of course, the majority of players being as bright as an unlit lightbulb certainly helps.
