When you get to the DD's, you can pretty much hang it up, switch tabs, and play something else. The exponential increase is so dramatic at that point that I left it alone and it eventually beat itself.
Here's a tip: You get 100 points/kill, and 10 crystal are added to the battle score per kill on any team. Isidas get bonus points for healing allies, in adition to kills, but healing doesn't add to the battle score (Number of crystals to be distributed to players). It isn't possible to get more crystals than the top 3 players of the winning team (Though it is possible to BE one of them.) Shafts are best at blasting pretty much any tank, and when paired with a smokey can become a threat to even vikings (The smallest tank that withstand a fully charged shaft shot). Also, when multiple railguns target a large target, anything behind the target is also doomed, as railgun shots pass through and damage all tanks in the line. Determining when to use items is also important. It's important not to use them when you're about to get killed. Also, when you see a ricochet tank with a light hull, turn around, sit down, and kiss your butt good bye unless you have a railgun with you.
How to win: Spam rockets with cannon loaders and heavy armor, OR dual swords + speed boost + repair mech + cannon loader + medium armor, OR Sniper squad + Artillary X2 + shield + light machine gun.
I was on my 5th battle for a flawless win, but my laptop's battery went down. It saved my computer state, and when I plugged it up on got back on it showed that I won (and got the flawless victory). XD
A nice spam gun (Expensive, but it's a boss for people who upgrade energy reload and damage)
Shot power: 10
energy: 40
fire rate: 5
area: 240
homing level: 15
Price: 110012
Buy at least 3
put them on top of each other.
They'll fire at anything, and even blow back big kamikazes.
@Moneef. No, THIS IS another REALISTIC excuse to hate on the new update: In the old update, you had a choice between 3 free classes that changed daily. If you didn't like one/Couldn't use one, you had others to choose from. NOW, however, you get ONE free class a week, and if you can't use it then you're stuck with that class for a whole week while you wait for a new class that you MIGHT be able to use... That, or pay nasty sums of cash for a class you want. Well, at least they're giving discounts... I guess... It's not like they haven't been doing that for a while though...
General rule for people who love to board enemy ships: You can't board The Flying Dutchman's ship. In fact, you can't even bring down its AP, which affects your chances of boarding.
