Let's Discuss Thunder!

Viking Definitely. Its pretty stable when shooting and has ample health to endure self damage. Moreover Viking M2 is one of the best M2 hulls if not the best.

Thx

I've got a serious case of Thunder-envy. M3. I'm just worried that it's going to get outmatched north of General by the turrets unlocking at higher ranks.

 

I just don't know.

I have a 41/50 Thunder M3. I play lots of Poly CP and try to play battles Field Marsh and under. I don't really play gismo battles cause I try to avoid those, but even in battles Commander and under my Thunder isn't too shabby. However, I recently purchased Twins M3, and even at stock I am now favoring Twins over my Thunder.

Its sometimes useful in DMs for kill stealing but in all other cases I would rather use my Vulcan.

Sad thing is though that i don't see many m1 thunders my rank, when it's such an exceptionally good turret

p.s i am not Mexican, didn't know what beaner meant at the time

Yeah.. to much kill stealing

That's why sometimes I prefer Smoky in DM. Although I would say that I'm fairly decent with kill-stealing in Poly DM (with Thunder ofc), it is easier to play with Smoky cause you can just point and hold space + wait for a crit to finish your opponents off

Go start a new thread "Nicknames - What You're Stuck With"

 

Back to topic, I have an alt which uses M1 mods of Thunder and Twins. I have to agree with the other poster who says Twins is better. M3 Smoky is pretty good too... At least on the receiving end, it seems like I take a critical hit every third shot.

 

Unless Thunder gets a buff, I think it's usefulness may be limited to specific maps and the few ranks close to each mod unlock.

 

On the other hand, Right now it does rule the New Year's Assault map though.

I agree with everything you said. Though I would say that Thunder is also great for medium range sniping. It's mass area damage is perfect to destroy tanks close together.

Also as you said Thunder is designed for different maps. Thunder is better for more open maps than enclosed spaces since you can self-destruct by shooting things next to you. That is one down side as well as the slow re-loading. But upgrading Thunder a ton would make it the perfect turret.

Thunder rocks. You only need a game without rustle or emerald. If I enter a game like this, I go get my firebird and kill thoses bad anti-thunder

"without rustle or emerald" Not if you have it ;)

I'm saving for predator kit, I just hope it's available when I have enough!

I'm getting 10,000 crystals every 26,000 XP

Should I have enough for predator kit at WO4?

Predator" Kit — 50 325 crystals

Available at:  Master Sergeant

Includes: Hunter M1, Thunder M1, Jaguar

Available till: 7th Jan 2016, 02:00 UTC

 

 

 

This?  It is now closed , I think. Or the sale is.  If you can still buy it on sale when get the crystals and/or hit W/O4  , it is a good combo and deal.

 

And you should have well more than 50K before then . I gather you are looking at have 26K xp and have won 10K .  You have 100K XP to go.  During that time your rate of earning crystal should go up, Plus you get larger rank bonuses and daily bonuses as you go.  

The thing will be how soon(before w/o4) you can get it when thunder opens anyway.  It is more OP the earlier you have it.

 

Checked your profile, you are doing fine and can stick with your plan. Note: Though things may change as you grow in ranks. By the Time you hit W/O 4,  there are even many M2 combos out

The kit will come back, most likely

[austen_pierce 1,948]

IDK about Thunder. Underpowered a few ranks after every mod unlock unless you have limitless DD supplies.

 

Part of me wishes that at Gismo, all turrets and hulls are balanced. As it is the early M3 unlocks just aren't conpetitive.

[DyalnShadowRazor 0]

I use thunder and Viking all the time and that is the most known combination of thunder ^_^. Also, like this comment if you use metallic or navy paint on your thunder and Viking. :mellow:

[Heles 9,220]

In higher ranks, in my alternate account, i see alot of smoky, hammer, rico, firebird and vulcan 

[deadmanrising 715]

Thunder is an annoyance, although its no longer much of a threat, it used to be in the past, its overpowering-ness varies at different ranks, unfortunately i don't think it has the power to compete with the generalnissmos and higher ranks, but many people still use it, its an example of a turret that has been constantly reshuffled in power from time to time

[Heles 9,220]

<_< They really need to re balance thunder again. 

-_- Smoky is taking over 

[Typo 1,299]

Smoky has taken over my friend. At least from what I have observed.

Agreed. Doesn 't mean imo that Smoky is overpowered though,

only that Thunder is a bit underpowered.

[GeneralNemesis 497]

my smoky m3(25/50) rules the ground. unless u drug its hard to challenge me with thunders(of course u can challenge me if u wear savanna . it sort of cancels 2 out of my every 5 hits)
