Archangels doing some "Voodoo" after crushing the enemy for one more time! :P

This is so EPIC that i can't stop laughing right now :lol: WAY TO GO TANKI!!! :D

This must be some photoshop skills from our bro Ilia. ;) P.S: Am i the only one here annoyed by these 'elephants"? O_o

No not inactivity. I had left already cause of Uni etc...and from what guys told me later, ARC got closed cause our leader was becoming a mod and didn't had much time to maintain our team anymore...and since noone else could take over, ARC got closed. It was a difficult period i guess, everyone's "season" was starting so....it just had to happen at the time :(

Sandbox, Sandal, Zone, Garder, Magadan, Boombox and Station were the maps that i had my best battles with Thunder so far.

Missing old ARC days :( ARC till the end!!! :wub: I wish ARC was still active...it was a team with a great future! Hope someday we will be the ARC again brothers!

SHOCKING....so far i counted 13 highranked players (over Liut.Colonel) who replied to this topic......10 of them have anti-thunder paint. That means that 76% of high ranked players have anti-thunder paint!!! Although the sample is small, because 13 ppl can't really represent whole tankers' favourite paints, BUT still....this is unbelievable! I hope more of you guys (especially those over the Brigadier rank) post your main paint so that i have a better estimate of which type of paints are used most.

Trust me...hornet is great (maybe the best) to combine with thunder at all modif...even at m0 ;) It's a really versatile combo (important for non-buyers who can't afford many hulls and turrets) cause it can be powerfull in all types of battles (CTF,DM,TDM,CP). So what i'm saying is...you can save your crystals and not upgrade anything and do GREAT until you get to WO2...where is the time to upgrade hornet to m1....by the time you get to WO4 you gonna have tons of crystals to make your Thunder m1 on time.....and THAT'S where the real party begins (Thunder m1 is totally OP at those ranks). Good Luck!

Btw guys. I made a new topic to find out the most used paints here http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=184396 feel free to go and share your main paint there! Thanks!

Imma start first. I love anti-rail paints (for my personal secret reasons :D), so my main paint right now is Digital. In future i'm gonna buy Prodigy as my final paint!

Hello guys. I am a fanatic Thunder user since the rank of WO5. I never worried about paints but as i'm growing in the game i see more and more anti-thunder paints. So i want to do this "poll", to have a better picture about which turret is the most feared one?! So here's my question to you guys: Which one is your main paint? P.S: I know that there are some "rich" guys in Tanki and they may have many paints but...i wanna hear what is your MOST USED paint. Thanks in advance.

Well....you are veery wrong my friend....why?...1st: Cause every other turret in the game has standard dmg (that means it can be nerfed with a good paint).....EXCEPT for Smoky...even against a needle painted druggy hull, smoky's crit will do a huuge dmg. 2nd: Thunder is THE most feared turret in this game, because it does pretty big dmg with every single shot and has a decent reload time....the proof is those countless thunder painted hulls out there. I actually did a test myself yesterday...i played 5 Sandbox battles against high ranked players (ranks: Brigadier-Generalissimo) and counted how many anti-thunder paints i saw in those 5 battles...wanna hear the result? 11! That means...with every battle you play in sandbox...you gonna see on average 2.2 anti-thunder painted hulls. And that is very bad for a turret which does a standard dmg (i say standard: it's not really standard..but the range of dmg is small so...we can assume it's standard). P.S: I loooove my thunder very much...and probably gonna keep playin' with it...until i have the crystals to have my Smoky m3....but especially against a mammoth....Smoky is DA BAWS....trust me...i have played many times with both turrets and i definitely know their advantages and disadvantages...and what i loved about smoky is that...you don't fear from ANYONE with smoky...cause you know that a crit is comin' sooner or later. I love Thunder cause it has that standard dmg+splash dmg, so you have guaranteed a good amount of kills...but when i see a mammoth (and i have thunder), i prefer not to waste my time killin' it and go for easier targets,thus helpin' my team more.So my point is....paints affect every turret except for smoky...and that's what it makes it special (go ask every player you know "Hey, what paints you got?"...i bet you will rarely hear "Needle").

Thunder!!! No doubt...why? Cause it can kill multiple enemies at once....it can help you self-destruct immediatly so that you don't give easy kills to the enemy team (a good tactic)...plus...especially on TDMs Thunders tend to get most points cause of their splash dmg. On the other hand....rail (especially on small maps DMs) has that big disadvantage..."if you miss-you dead"...and that is a rule in CTF battles...imagine a rail in DMs..where you gonna have everybody as your enemies. Of course i'm not trying to downgrade rail (it is a terrific turrets if you know how to use it), but rail is certainly NOT THE BEST choice for either DMs or TDMs. Although there are a few huge maps where rail can become the most suitable turret (like Serpuhov map). But even so...i would suggest thunder in all cases with a anti-rail paint (if you play in those "few big maps") cause you can avoid giving kills to the enemy which can be a winning choice for your team or yourself. P.S: Rail is loved by many, and some of you may disagree...it's absolutely ok...there may be pro-rail users out there who can overcome any disadvantage with their skills. But i'm just talking about the average player. Good Luck!

Yh about that experience thing.....i have to tell you that before i createed my final acc (FatalTank), i had already 12 more accs...just to learn all the turrets and their secrets, plus i did it so i can decide which style fits me better. That means i have a decent experience from all combos but....Smoky-Thunder are my "expertise"...(i actually have spent more time with smoky than with thunder)...anyways...that means that i know very well both turrets' pros and cons and that i'm not gonna rely on the "experience" thing. To sum up, so far i'm leaning into making my smoky from m1 to m2 (cause it can deal with druggers without drugs)...but i still would like to hear some high ranked players who have used both turrets (especially the "non-buyers").But thanks anyways Ice...i will keep in mind your advice! P.S: From tests that i did on test server i decided that i would go for Wasp-m3/Smoky-m3 with prodigy, as my final combo.

If you a DD then you should be...i heard you guys have a really successfull clan there! Nice B) And today i met your leader...who seemed like a really cool guy so....no wonder you doing good!

you're mean :P

I'm talking about m2 smoky dear tanker :P Yh i hear that a lot....smoky's crits seem to happen more often than what the stats claim. Duh....i'm really confused right now....suddenly i feel that upgrading smoky would be a much wiser thing to do for me! -_-

Ok let me put it in another way.....you know gissmos have a lot of drugs (doesnt matter if buyer or not...daily bonus is still high enough)....so i imagine going in a drug war, with my m3 thunder and without drugs....i would be doomed right? On the other hand, with Smoky m2 even if i don't have drugs i will still have that 7% chance to inflict a serious dmg to that drugger. So that's why i am in thoughts all of a sudden...if you asked me a few days ago...i would say i'm going for m3 thunder for sure...but today i played for the 1st time a normal(not NS) CTF battle in Sandbox with gissmos....of course at some point that battle turned into a drug war....and from the first postion in my team i suddenly turned into a useless player for my team since i couldn't drug back, falling in the 3rd place in the end. So i really need some good advice on this one....i don't wanna waste 100k (if on sales) crystals on a turret that will not be usefull in all conditions.

That's the exact reason that i am "thinking" of which one of those i should upgrade...DRUG WARS.....i know that a smoky even without drugs is a deadly turret against druggers...while thunder would be useless against a drugger (unless it drugs too). Since i'm not a byer and can't afford to buy drugs, the right thing to do seems to be upgrading smoky. I know that there are going to be a lot of drug wars in those higher ranks...so far my thunder was great against gissmos, but that's only in NS battles.....i can't even imagine what would happen if i faced let's say...a druggy m3 mammoth with emerald....it would be ridiculous even thinking about killing it....While Smoky m2 has at least a 7% chance of inflicting a serious dmg to that beast.

Hello guys. I am at last at the rank where i can either upgrade my Thunder to m3 or make my Smoky m2. So i wanted to hear a few opinions about what would be the best choice. I wish i could upgrade them both but i'm not a buyer so, i have to choose. I hope to hear opinions from some high ranked players as well...who have used both turrets and have a little more experience on them! Thank you all in advance ;)

Hello guys....i wanna hear some opinions about....What would you do if you had to choose between Smoky m2 or Thunder m3?

Hello guys....so at last i have 100k again in my (Tanki)wallet and i'm thinking if i should make my thunder m3 or make my smoky m2??....i am going to wait for new year's sales of course but i wanna hear a few opinions from experienced players...what would you do if you had to choose between smoky m2 and thunder m3?
