Let's Discuss Thunder!

[ThouShallNot 963]

Now 10 out of 20 players in a silence or polygon take 1 more shot to kill, pff thunder sucks now im switching to Vulcan, all cuz of some stupid update. (and it is also easier to kill your self, which is very bad).

I used to 2-shot M3 Hornets after muing a few, now that doesn't happen against M2s. Months of saving for a single Hull/Turret combo, gone to waste. I would have to start a 3rd account to bring it up to the star ranks, hoping the combo i choose won't get nerfed this badly, but i refuse.

Thunder is pretty bad now. I really hope the devs see that they didn't make any thunder users happy with this update and edit it. They could at least make thunder hit with max damage more often, I can rarely 2 shot hornets anymore

I guess the bulldozer was a waste of crystal

Please speak for yourself. I 2-shot M1 Hornets with M1 Thunder all the time still. I've MUed the Damage parameter a few times and it's good to go. I'm also making more multi-kills on groups of tanks then I did before. That's my experience post-changes.

[Chameleos 157]

know this, i mu'd thunder m3 enough to 2-hit m3 hornets, after this thing came, i can't do that to m2. probably the nerf isn't as noticeable in thunder M1, which is also one of the strongest M1 available due to one of the highest m1 unlock rank.

 

Your max damage was reduced by about 2, mine got 5 less.

Have you ever tried m2 or m3? Hornets are harder to kill, in fact, many tanks require 1 more shot to kill, which is super annoying. My friends who have stock m3 thunder, or m4 thunder, say that they also rarely 2 shot hornets (their modification, without thunder paints) from a range in which thunder is supposed to be able to hit with max damage. I also used to be able to 3 shot viking m3s with my slightly upgraded thunder m2, but now I can't. I know what i'm talking about.

Full drugged up with m3 thunder takes 2 shot to kill m2 hornet

Unfortunately, nowadays it takes a near-max damage Thunder three shots to kill a M3 Hornet. Why do you do this, devs? :/

I really hate that now

Y`all sick m8`s,Thundy still rocks

[falcosenna1 8,320]

Thundy still rocks

I agree! :p

If they have to decrease damage, at least increase reload, it's weaker than railgun at close range at this point.

m3 thunder kills hornet m2 in about 5.5 seconds, m3 rail does that 50% in that 1.2 of charge or 50% in around 7 secs, without self damage, with unlimited range, and with change to deal huge damage to who's in the line.

It's highly underpowered now really...

 

Edit: and Rail needs to take cover only once, not twice ^^

Hence I adore Railgun! :D

Too bad Thunder, a mid-long range gun, is worse than a specialized long range, at any range. Call this balance?

Me 2, bad net and some personal reasons made me stop,

The only reason Im still here is all the info I have and the desire to help people,

 

I speny a lot of time learning normal and classified TO info,

I cant use them at all if I leave :p

[IronCommando 14]

do you guys think getting Hammer/Smoky (the guns that never seem to get nerfed) until Thunder gets better is a good idea? I can't handle hornets beating me because I can't kill them fast enough.

Smoky changes a damn lot .-.

If you go by "the gun that never gets nerfed" then go mainstream mode and buy Railgun. They can't nerf it, Starladder needs it.

Thunder needs a much longer range. The self damage is so annoying. <_<

[flameking5000 3]

Think that the thunder reload speed need to be faster but it is a good gun

[austen_pierce 1,948]

Thunder is forced into a mid range gun by being damage reduced at long range and self damaging in close quarters. I'm playing with an M0 in a WO2 account and it requires double damage drugging to be effective. Of course at that level I'm one-shooting every Wasp and Hornet in sight, which is really upsetting those players.

 

At some point I'm going to run out of drugs.
