What to buy? Which is better?

Gauss protection is necessary but as there are too many players in high ranks with Owl module already a Gauss user can face problems while dealing with them.

I think thunder faces the same problem. ( However, these days i am seeing less of thunder protection and more of Gauss).

Best bet would be to use (oh, no) Hornet with the turret to become super OP and super cliche tanker.

so you mean that almost both of them are a necessity but according to current situation which protection do u think would be much more useful in comparision to other

and also choose one out of them in terms of better gameplay usage  especially at higher ranks atleast above commander then generalissimos and legends

I am a Generalissimo. I have been using Gauss a bit too much these days because it is easy to use and i get a good score with it. I use the adrenaline augment with it. When my health gets decreased, my damage gets increased. On lucky occasions, i have dealt a little more than 4000 damage with my mk6-9 Gauss. But sometimes there are many enemies with Owl modules and i don't get much points. But you can use your hornet OD to ignore their modules and get loads of kills.

I think Gauss deals better damage than thunder and is too easy to use, which can make it boring. I have got bored of using it in battle because using it requires very less skill (and i have played a bit too much with it). 

Thunder deals good damage too. It can kill medium hull with two shots (assuming the enemy does not have DD active). It pairs well with your hornet OD too. 

Personally, i feel that thunder requires a more skillful and seasoned tanker to use it to full potential than Gauss. 

In conclusion -

If you want easy kills and a good score in battle with minimum work, buy Gauss. But, if you want to have fun learning and using thunder to it's all glory, get that. 

Gauss will likely get you a good battle score but will bore you after a while, where as thunder may/may not work as well as Gauss does in MM, but it will keep you engaged and you will enjoy using it till you play tanki.

As for the better module out of Owl and Grizzly, i feel that owl should get priority. 

ohh nice so in case of protection owl will be more useful and then i can play with gauss and get much higher damage than thunder, seems nice on both perspectives  

anyways thanks for your suggestions  just gotta get 20k more crystals to get 382k which would take almost 2-3 days i guess and wait for hunter gauss  crystals kit  and then i see if i get much more replies from other people as well, kinda curious to see opinions of many others as well.especially some higher legend rankers also

[superADIT 43]

btw tanki people have said that now we can refresh the kits in shop daily for free only once and then pay 10 tankoins to refresh more no of times that day but i could'nt find that refresh button anywhere -_- otherwise i will do a daily refresh everyday to see 2 different crystal kits and then the chances of getting only a hunter gauss kit will increase.

can u help me out here with the location of full shop refresh button? cant find it lol just send the screenshot highlighting it

so i am either planning to buy a crystal kit with "thunder mk7 with its module" OR  "gauss mk7 with its module" and i want to know in both ways that which turret and its protection is more useful and trending at higher ranks. Just give me your honest opinion guys and all the expierinced legends present here as i can only and only afford to buy 1 kit now(i am F2P non-buyer).

First of all, good luck. Second of all, Gauss. Hands down. Thunder is fine but overprotected against and best by far when paired with Sledgehammer, so Gauss is better value. That and already objectively OP and unbalanced to the point of being the best turret.

Of course, buy it when the kit appears... assuming that it ever appears that is 

the chance of that happening is probably like getting a skin in container.

i haven't got a hornet kit till date. It has been 7 months!!!

I've done the math and it takes 49 days to guarantee a kit to pass through. 1 every 12 hrs. Not factoring in if ares kits exist. Have to consistently check them. Set an alarm on your watch twice a day or something.

I wouldn't go there with him At_Shin. He seems to already be low on crystals and needs a tool to give him some upward mobility. I would recommend he test on the test server at different levels and with alts on Thunder, configured like he will actually use it. When he makes it to marshal would be a better time to buy Thunder. I agree Owl module is better. Thunder is underused compared to Gauss at Legend ranks. All the buyers like Gauss too. Gauss also has the most broken alt in the game. Far better value.

[KamiGT 143]

Hmm... I don't know what could be going on then. I guess you could print a list and check each one off to see if you get a full rotation before one repeats.

I speak from experience. I have not seen a hornet kit since 7 months. I have checked each day twice. I mostly got kits such as maestro, fortress, and a few others rotating back and forth. I believe that shop uses an evil algorithm which gives crystal product kits based on the equipment you already have.

no its random because i have all mk7 hulls except hunter and mammoth but i have still got their kits also in shop. for ex yesterday i got a hunter smoky kit   so not today but tmrow or day after i wish for the hunter to appear with gauss and there i go as hunter will be a better choice than mammoth i guess(whats ur opinion here with these hulls which do u think is better and more helpful?comment below and btw i already own titan mk7 20/20 as a heavy hull category for your kind information )

[superADIT 43]

and btw i wanna ask that how is this community reputation earned for ex @At_Shin u have 1208 member reputation so is it earned only from the other people who have liked or just reacted to your post or is there any other criteria for this?

[KamiGT 143]

Okay, looks like I was wrong earlier because I didn't check your profile. What's your reason for buying a kit when you are past Marshal rank?? I'm sure you can upgrade for cheaper if you buy separately. However, I also see you own a ton of hulls already. I would stop trying to max out everything and focus on a few things to get to M4, otherwise you will strand yourself. I see you also have very underleveled protections, and those are very necessary to have at 35%+ at your rank. Do what you want, but I think you are making a mistake to try and max everything and never buy prots.

[KamiGT 143]

No sorry referencing @superADIT. I forgot that you also try to upgrade most things though. Your protections seem overall stronger.

i dont consider buying protection only with crystals but in form of kits only for ex in history i have bought smoky and railgun m2 kit then i have good protections for them only the shaft prot was the one which i buy individually and upgraded it and to tbh my rail  prot is not mk6 as its 34% right now just 1 more upgrade to go and my smoky prot is 29% another single upgrade to go for mk6 and now after getting gauss kit i will have 2 35%+ prots and one 30% which is not bad for this rank i guess as i never change my modules i always use same modules every battle as i find these ones much helpful than others and now after getting gauss prot i will be fully ready with good modules.

and the thing is that i have also made 1 faster heavy hull m4 by putting many cry so it gives very good stability and life duration in mm and my  jgr is at its peak

(so can u plz tell me that now  that what are the things  i have done wrong till today and what could i have done in place of what i did till now?)

@superADIT if you already have a heavy hull like titan, you should get hunter because you can use it with all types of turrets. Also, hunter OD is much better than mammoth OD.

You cannot pair mammoth with every kind of turret. For example, most players don't use mammoth with freeze or hammer. But you can use hunter with these and all other kinds of turrets.

About community reputation points.. I don't know the exact details of it but they are earned when another member of the community likes your post.  

ohh i got it.for ex i have only 1 point because i have got only 1 reaction till now as till today i never checked forum after logging in i always viewed it anonymously till today

btw can u just do me a favor of points by just giving some random reactions to all my previous comments in this topic.sounds funny but i don't think giving reactions will be any hard

Hey guys! Quick question. 

I'm currently saving up all my crystals for Tanker's Day discounts. Should I save up for Thunder or Magnum? Also, which alterations should I buy?

I am pretty much saying a similar thing to At_Shin. You need diversity in your garage at high levels. 1 medium, 1 light, 1 heavy hull. That is good enough. Then, work on a few turrets. I am saying it is likely pointless to buy a mk7 kit when it is cheapet to buy the items individually at 50% off. You will have to calculate this to be sure. Work on getting your 3 hulls and turrets to Mk7-20. Protections should be at Mk7-5, as I have found the first five steps are exponentially cheaper.

The main thing I would have done differently on your account is getting only one light hull for example. Also, Mk6 protections aren't super strong for field marshal rank. Plus, you only have one true Mk6. I had 3 by the three star rank because I got kits. The best protections are Magnum, Gauss, Vulcan, Thunder, and Railgun.

Hmm... Well first of all you're doing everything wrong if you aren't buying on a 50% sale. So no. Pay 122,500 or don't buy it. Also, I think it may be worth it. It seems to be pretty powerful if you want to camp and mine up yours or the enemies' base. TDM/CTF/RGB are the modes I'd use it in. If you are using it in CP, it probably isn't best and if you camp with it you'd be a detriment to the team. TDM you can straight camp for K/D, CTF and RGB you camp to defend.

Take this with a grain of salt. I'm not a Magnum player.

You mean Mortar alteration,

Now about the question, Basically it's your decision but in my opinion I don't think it's worth it.

In any case if you'll buy this alteration so I recommend you wait for sales, more information about the upcoming sales click here.

We can only give a limited number of reactions everyday.  The reputation is not that important, though.
