Dumbest special effect ever!

[evil.kinevil 64]

Can we all admit that thunder has the dumbest special effect ever. Splash damage, chances are, it will kill you rather than the enemy. I mean there's nothing "special" about it, freeze and firebird both technically have splash damage, since they can shoot through tanks. The only "cool" thing about thunder, is the explosion it makes. I'm not complaining or ranting, i'm just saying thunder needs a new special effect. I mean look at freeze and isida. both have way too many special effects. Freeze: it can outrange isida, can shoot through multiple tanks, an m0 freeze has the capability to kill an m2 mammoth because it can just freeze it and circle around it until it's dead, that's fair right tanki? Now what about isida? Isida: Can heal tanks and kill, has highest dps in game (firebird does when burn kicks in), can heal other tanks, can go to 20 meters. So tanki thinks this is "fair", well according to the dictionary, fair means equality for all, this is not what tanki is. Fair is when every gun has the same chance of winning a battle. How? Mammoth is the cheapest m0-m2 modification and is stronger than an m3 viking. this is fair? Freeze has a ridiculous effect and it kicks in immediately. Does the burn effect kick in immediately? No! But this is "fair" wow.

Yes there is. I got killed by a Thunder when I was trying to hide because of his Splash Damage. It's not dumb if you know how to use it. Instead of just firing Thunder like a Smokey, try different maneuvers with it. Tanki Online is a flexible game. Find your way of playing. If not, get a different gun.

 

Splash damage is realistic. The impact shot from each shell of a Tank can hurt others. :ph34r:

so tanki decided to make thunder the only realistic gun? what about twins? Its literally impossible for a gun to have unlimited ammo, but yet it does. Seems fair, right?

evil.kinevil nice to here from you. It seems you can't get over this hump with your thunder. I feel for you man! I don't know how much time you have taken out to learn your thunder. Example, players that have railguns know when get what I'm saying. So what I'm saying to you is no when! Size up the situation! Don't get into that area where you start taking yourself out. Use the splash to your advantage you can take player out without even seeing them. Get a good paint if you can. I didn't get deep just basic info! If your having a hard time with this thunder you have to make some type of peace with it or just go to another turret. I ended up with all of them. Take care man!!!

Hahaha thanks, i have m2 smoky, but that is complete luck

[dogm45 10,658]

P.S. Before you start with the smoky the critical hit is random! It's okay let him vent lol!!!!!!!! :)

It's not dumb. Like DidYouKnowThat said, it can be used effectively if used properly. You can also use it to get double or triple kills.

but what im saying is freeze and firebird can too, because they shoot through tanks

yeah, thats why i dont like it, whenever you need a critical you never get one!!

[SpreadLoveNotHate 374]

Deathmatch - There's 2 freezes and an isida clobbered up in a bunch. You drug double power, splash kills all. Now, isn't that wonderful? You don't even have to get close :o

 

Ideas on Feedback.

[dogm45 10,658]

The thing about the smoky is it's a fun piece of fun. Take it out on the battlefield and practice throwing tanks off balance just get that down. While your doing that you will start taking tanks out baby steps bro! :)

Yeah, it has a good physical effect. Well i am a master of thunder, i have been using it since wo5 before rebalance.

[dogm45 10,658]

It's cool!! The way I look at it is we all go boom!!!!! :lol:

So what new special effect of thunder you want ?

i want them to not let it kill itself with splash damage, tanki decided to make thunder the only realistic gun.

[r_DidYouKnowThat0 1,662]

That'd be over-powered. Go be a Freeze if you like Over-powered things. They made the damage-increase for Thunder M2-M3 not very high because of the Splash Damage- not to mention that it's pretty strong already. They want you to use it to your own advantage. Learn how to use a Thunder- it ain't Rocket Science.

 

1. Avoid Shooting for Fun in an Enclosed Space

 

2. Know when to shoot. If an Isida is coming at you, don't panic. Use your Splash-damage for goodness' sake. Wait for your Health to go down. Then when it gets low enough, Fire away. You'll die, but not before blowing off a big chunk off of the isida's Health. You're dead, so he can't heal either. It'll leave him pretty steamed. This can be done to any other opponent despite the gun they have.

 

3. Don't hit yourself, Son.

 

What I mean for step 3 is that you don't want to intentionally step into your own Splash-damage zone. That is just plain stupid. I know this and even I don't use Thunder as a primary weapon- it's still M0. Say an enemy Railgun/Isida is hiding behind a Rock/Wall. Don't you dare try to drive over to kill him. You'll just kill yourself and thus rage and post such a topic as this one which is going to get Closed by a Mod. So, what you want to do is drive forward at a surge. Then stop, and when your tank is pulled back thus pointing the gun downwards, hit your spacebar and watch as you kill the person hiding. You see, what happens is the shot from Thunder is like a fire from a Mortar. The impact from it hurts anyone near it. The shot you fired is close enough to the hiding target and damages him/her and possibly kills him/her. Another bonus is that you didn't lose any health at all, and most importantly, for once it seems, the Splash Damage didn't hurt you.

 

If you're careful enough: Say you're in an enclosed space. An enemy is right in front of you pressed against you. I've seen very smart Thunders do this. I wonder if you can too. Anyways, what they do it direct the damage to the enemy at full impact, but minimum impact on themselves. Whoa, Shocker. Anyways, they would shoot at a wall/object behind and close to the enemy. It would be identical to hitting him directly. However, you're farther away from the blast, so you'll either not suffer any losses from your own splash-damage, or endure minimal damage.

 

---------------------------------------------------------------

As you can see from the tips above, you don't eradicate the effect from hurting yourself. It's strong already, and has unlimited range. If you have that big of a problem with it, then be smart with it and don't head up-front with the enemy. You'll just keep hitting yourself. Instead, find a comfortable spot whereas you're not too far from the enemy, but you're not too close either. Then you'll be using it at its full extent. If you can't use Thunder. then get a different gun, because it might be that Thunder just isn't your style. Perhaps you should try Twins/Isida/Freeze if you like going up-close in battling.

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------

If the Thunder's Splash Damage can't kill itself, then it'd be over-powered. It's already tough, and think of it on Drugs! Pressing up against the Thunder is a considerable Tactic. So you'll just have to deal with it. Use the tips I gave you, and like I've said before, Tank is a flexible game so find your own way to use Thunder. Thunder on Drugs would mean 100+ damage with each shot. You'll kill enemies quicker than it'll kill you. A Thunder who can't kill itself is literally a walking Juggernaut.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

No hard feelings, Sir. I didn't type this to annoy you, but to just give you some tips. Don't get angry at me now. I'm just trying to help you some tips. It sucks when it feels like you've wasted your crystals on something- ahem- Twins M1. :mellow:

Rico can also hurt yourself

[evil.kinevil 64]

only if it tries @hitwheel, didyouknow that shaft cant kill itself but its not op

[r_DidYouKnowThat0 1,662]

only if it tries @hitwheel, didyouknow that shaft cant kill itself but its not op

That thing got Nerfed. Anyways, it's a Sniper. How can it possibly hurt itself? Ram itself to a wall 999x and die? Sorry, that's not possible in Tanki.

nice one huh..i don't have any intentions to put u down but what i think abt twins that U didn't know the power of an twins its an OP turret which have the power of pushback the enemy tank if u use twins m3 nd mammoth m2 this combo would be like un-beatable one the persons who know the power of twins will be afraid of that combo..

[Notchfan 616]

The dumbest special effect is being frozen.

[canadarules 1,938]

No the dumbest special effect is shafts because it has none oh wait it does it has a zoom. At least you can do that all shaft can do is use a scope which isn't even variable. All guns are and there special effects are good all depends how you use them and the style of game that the users has. Not the weapons fault all about combo and preference. splash damage is great especially against wasp and hornet drugged like a suicide bomber that can kill multiple tanks at once even in bad situations.

[Joshua16 780]

You know, u can alsoo use splash damage to YOUR advantage for fast self destructing

Well let's not forget that Tanki is an arcade game. And tanks are futuristic. Who knows what scientists will come up with in future. Including unlimited ammo

i want them to not let it kill itself with splash damage, tanki decided to make thunder the only realistic gun.

Tanki wasn't made realistic. TO keep the balance we need to somehow compensate the advantage of each gun. In case of Thunder it's the fact that you can damage yourself.

As more new "special effects", there won't be any in the nearest future, maybe later. However, you will be able to upgrade the existing ones with micro-upgrades. Thunder will quite a lot of those and they will be interesting.

Guys got a point, mlike I said before, Listen to the staff and do not make topics for such small questios, P.M a consultant.

[Zero-nl 36]

Learn how to use it. Maybe play some bigger maps, to avoid all the Freezes and Firebirds. It's OP, my cousin uses it, he gets on top everytime. (While others drug and he doesn't <_<)
