Solid advice from Pilot Zuooo. I think you're definitely on the right track. You're doing just what I did: using Cossacks to nab beacons & ensure half the available gold. When I got my Rogatka, I realized it was a superb replacement for the Cossack: virtually just as fast, but one of the most devastating bots, most especially in bronze tier. I had so much fun with it, the first month I had it I earned my 5th hangar slot (5,000 gold) with it! I never regreted it. Then, I picked up the Gepard. Initially I discounted it & passed over it for considerations, but after going over the pages on this forum, decided to make it my next gold purchase after the Rog.

Now I suggest making the Gepard your first gold purchase, strap Lv8 Pinatas on that bad boy & have a blast with it! That thing will accelerate your gold earnings. Unless you're close to a Rogatka already (which you are; I mention this for the benefit of others) grab the Gepard as soon as you can. It's deadly with Pinatas, Magnums or Aphids. Doesn't age as well as the Stalker in gold tier, but definitely woth the price.

That said, the Rogatka does age into gold tier fairly well, despite never getting faster (it starts fast, at 45mph, and the toughest starting with 77,000 hp)

GRAB THAT ROG!! It fits your play style and you can earn that 5th slot soon after. Rarely will you have the need for the 5th slot in bronze tier, and even though I have a fair gold team, I still farm bronze. Just two days ago I got my second Rog (1 for bronze, 1 for gold tier) and with Aphids & a Zeus on my to-buy list, I'll be in bronze off & on for a month or two more, at least. You won't regret a dual Taran'd Rogatka.
