Let's Discuss Thunder!

[Lord-of-the-Snipers 1,620]

This is weird .. I have been doing tests on different parameters of thunder

Despite the mentioned stat of the max range of thunder (not more than 120 meters)

However this thunder m3 with 100.1 damage could destroy a hornet = 194 hp with 6 shots from a distance of more than 300 meters 

Unless if i am wrong about the dimensions of the map desert .. anybody have an idea about ?

The first MU stats was saying max range damage and not max range just 

 

Nice research again Adam!  B)

 

You really go deep to investigate stuff to our benefit and by doing so

also become a sort of Mythbuster.....wait, you aren 't.......???....... :D  (if so, nice beard!)

 

Only thing I can imagine that the distance must be shorter than it looks

and so it is still inside the max. range of 120 meters?

I'll come - just make sure that where we meet up, Brigadiers can join.

Well if you can find out the max distance in the map desert it will help a lot. thank you

Sorry, I haven 't got a clue. That why I said "imagine".

 

Maybe one of the Forum-moderators could ask a Developer? They must know the ins and outs.

 

 

Drugging Thunder in Polygon DM:

I dont think I want to let this turret go. It's pretty great in big battles where the splash damage is used at its full potential.

Sounds good. We need to think about times when Smok & I get our M2 Thunders...

[Remaine 4,687]

Yes, we'll wait till then.

By then, I should have Thunder M3 as well - on the sale you buy it M2, I'll most likely buy it M3

[WookySpolf 63]

Probably, yeah,  :lol:. Everything goes up one notch.

[r_Dark_Nightmare5 24]

its not very good

[doughnut2100 763]

its not very good

Well, congratulations on the worst opinion ever.

[dardayy 493]

i think that max range of like 120m at thunder m3,means for a thunder m3 with 76-103 damage,that at 120m will do around 70-76 damage and at 300m range to kill a hornet m3 with 6 blows seems quite normal

Ok we did measures using rico m3 with 80 meters range of fire 

The map desert's length = 250 meters :)

And thunder damage from a 250 meters = 40 hp .. and its all the same until around 50 meters 

we tried also on test server to increase the range of thunder and it changed nothing on the amount of damage

it means this parameter is totally useless 

but will be making new tests since the physics keep changing to make sure how the range of thunder is supposed to affect its amount of damage at distant targets

 

Updated results:

A thunder m3 witha damage of 73.8- 100.1 and a range of 120 meters, will cause a damage starting from 100 and slowly dropping to 73.8 through out the range of 120 

After that range the damage will sharply drop to half the minimal damage. and in the above thunder example it means it will cause a damage of 73.8/2 = 36 after the range of 120 meters.. Thus increasing the range is so crucial as it will make a difference in the damage at a 10 meters in between a thunder of 120 meters range and a thunder with 110 meters range

^ using the Rico 's range of fire for measurement: nice solution! B)

 

Would it be close enough to the real numbers to say that behind the max. range of the Thunder,

it becomes like a slow-firing Smoky in terms of damage?

Want to rank fast to Captain! Could buy a SMP, decided to go drugging instead.

Will never buy drugs, most unfortunately I got 170 of each by the M2 Hull Kit.

 

First time like a hardcore drugger. Does not suit me, but the results are very good.

 

Fortunately I am a DM 'er, so I am at least not ruining a perfectly nice CTF battle.

Also if there are other hardcore druggers I make them my primary target.

And as I said before: I am not a Saint... ;)

 

When I rank to Captain I definitely go back to non-drugging:

 

Best D/L I ever had with my trusted Thunder M1:

 

 

Almost forgot: NightmareFox said "its not very good"    Yeah, right! :lol:

Thunder M1 and drugs, must be nice :P

My advice would be to first do without, you will definitely become a better player!

Drugs simply alter your gameplay in many wrong ways IMO.

 

It 's better to be the underdog first and learn ways to survive, but still florish with much less power.  B)

 

And although it is more devastating: I personally always felt "better" when I got butchered by a skilled drugger

than by some drugging noob! :D

I was implying that I have no drugs, so when I gotz ze flag or gold box is gonna fall, I'm at a disadvantage. I only use drugs when I get the flag and need to drug to win, and that happens a lot :) so I have no drugs.

And yes I'm at a disadvantage when I have the flag with no drugs; Its me vs the whole other team! Drugs just makes it fair in that situation

My mistake. Because I have become so DeatchMatch-"minded" and non-drugging, I sometimes forget that playing

standard CTF 's without drugs is hardly an option.

What combo do you use for DMs? I want to give them a try, but my ThunderWasp (that sounds cool XD) will not work :P

There is probably going to be a turret discount next week.
