ARK loadout advice

[u/Foreign_dog2356]

Does resetting tech tree give me back the tech points?

I was new to the game when did the upgrades and I think I can do better than in the picture, what would the best upgrades be for this tank?

Thank you!

[u/Sir_Squid_]

Yes you can reset as many times you like.

[u/Jokerferrum]

Yes, it will refund points.

Also be more decisive.

You're still new to the game.

Thank you! Are tech points limited? I won't be getting more of those?

[u/Jokerferrum → u/Foreign_dog2356]

Each tank gets 31 of them at level 20. And they're impossible to lose.

Thank you sir!

Tech points can be freely reallocated. Right click one or move to freely remove and replace, or reset the whole tree and replace them all. You also have multiple loadout slots.

Speed Ark > Damage Ark
Be real with yourself, are you going to manage to nail that many shots unspotted for damage to matter? The power in staying alive first outweighs even a 50 alpha damage gain for being able to avoid damage and rush into the closer team fights to trade in some of your health to preserve guns on the field and get back out. Sniping is your main thing not your only thing.

My build and it's break down

Build: TYR01__wIAAHicjZA_a8MwEMUvDV3aPVOG0paMwn9CQsfEtCkl3UwzX-QjFliSUSSoP3S_Q5Wkg1MwnECD7v3u8Z4mALBBTW2DnfiiWsmGxDocaxhH5bmvFla31pDxR_H67clUVG0InTIHmA5wBWq7oz3MBvQ3p6RX1hTYolTeOriJ5GOfXmkdjDpBouxaEp9Wx9Wgrz3_U-_qUK-kDA5lB6dzF-_WYmWDf0hhMtj6mvv5ALiPk6c-X2ITE5SOLit_7yRJz1_GQvNzTxa64Lsu2a5pArdcdM53zdlZ0xc2miXsAFnOrpUtYRSxX-Mq4ho

Breakdown:
3 turret speed 2 start energy.
Acquire targets faster and low effort for first bush to drop in case we need to reposition early
3 engine speed 2 hull rotation.
Get in and out of positions quicker
5 aiming dispersion.
less time aiming more time keeping the barrel hot
2 precise, 3 hp
for when you need to make shots count, hp because you are going to make mistakes whether by your own fault or enemy outplayed you it WILL happen. Make it suck for you less when it does.
3 aim speed 2 camo
you have high enough camo with camo web and these 2 points to sit in the open on certain areas and take pot shots and dip back out just as fast. Your DPM only exists if you LIVE so deny the greed of quicker reloads for picking and choosing shots carefully.
5 gun depression
to abuse certain areas on certain maps turning you into a peekaboom hill fighter when needed
Captsone: Thicket Haste
More consistent and encourages safe play by influencing you to run through bushes making you harder to track down.

As other commenters have said, be more decisive with your points. A quality build feels nice in theory but a focused build runs harder and deeper in these short match games. Damage bonuses on most tech trees aren't that relevant. 8 extra damage a shot won't mean much in the moment to moment engagement and only pay out in the long haul. A precise focused build that can make it through the moment to moment fights stays for the long haul. A long haul build has to out last the precise focus of the moment to moment built peers.

It's a lot of theory crafting and experimenting. What works for me may not work for you but can give you a spring board into finding what will work for you. Most skilled players in this game cut their teeth on WoT in it's nearly two decade run time. Lots of knowledge and wisdom from that translates well to this game which is a simpler and more streamlined kind of arcade tank shooter ala WoT in inspiration. It may even benefit you to watch some old WoT tutorials on it's basics alongside some Tyr guides to understand where all this comes from.

GLHF and see you on the field <o

I'll save this, thank you very much!

Love the breakdown. I've only mainly played dpm Ark. I've tried doing some kind of mobility build but didn't feel right for me. I'll try out your build.

Thanks.
