Thunder vs Railgun


 Share

Recommended Posts

@OP:

It depends on what style you fight with, If your a quick moving tank who wants to capture lots of flags then I would suggest you change to Ricochet or Freeze.

If your a bigger slow tank who hides and snipes then I would suggest the Railgun.

But if your sort of in the middle than I'd say Thunder is the best weapon because of its long range+fast reload.

Trying to compare any two weapons together (of those that are comparable so not including freeze vs. firebird) is like trying to comparing apples to oranges. The thunder and rail are vastly different in so may aspects itʻs hard to really decide which to get, here is a quick list of pros and cons for each.

 

THUNDER -

Pro: Splash damage. High rate of Fire. Can be upgraded once more to m3, thus becoming a very threatening weapon for anyone of ANY rank/garage (unless they have emerald... mentioned in the cons). Can finish off a congested area with damage damage with amazing efficiency. Although all weapons get the same benefit from double damage theoretically it seems this weapon benefits the most.

 

Con: Emerald and needle paint is becoming more and more popular :( Splash damage hurts yourself! Vulnerable to close ranged combat. Has issues dealing with shafts and rails long range. Very difficult to shot when pitted against a rico mid ranged.

 

RAIL -

Pro: hit and run tactics. packs a punch in a quick discharge. Irritating for other people. KILL STEALS.

 

Con: low rate of fire. Will lose a head to head duel 90% of cases. the tell tale charge up right before shooting gives people a warning to run or knock you off target. There are a few paints out there that are popular that people use that protect them a bit from rail. m3 vik can survive 2 shots, m3 mammy 3. Veterans see it as a noob cannon. If anything, shaft is the way to go.
