[Mr.Typical 37]

Predator" Kit — 50 325 crystals

Available at: Master Sergeant

Includes: Hunter M1, Thunder M1, Jaguar

Available till: 7th Jan 2016, 02:00 UTC[/size]

 

 

 

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.[/size]

 

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. [/size]

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.[/size]

 

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[/size]

So I should save for m2 kit...

What's the highest damage per second gun in general for medium-long pref med range gun. (No shaft no rail plz)

 

What's the best m2 kit? Needs early unlock. No rail/hornet kit

It may come around again in 2 to 4 weeks, so you just need to be patient.

In general Firebird has the highest dps. But at mid range Ricochet has the most. 

[metagross101 1]

I am wondering what to buy. I have a hornet m2 and freeze m2 and i want a mid to long range weapon to go with hornet on most maps along with freeze. should i get m2 railgun or m2 thunder??

[TTK_229 1,080]

Thunder m1 is great at wo5, and I can annihilate wasps easily. hornet is 2-3 shots too. damage gets too small over range tho...

Still great. Someone could be hiding behind a corner and all you have to do is shoot the wall next to them (something like a Ricochet shot) and still cause them damage. It's like having Hammer at the end of the impact.

[NewbieCake 3,067]

I think Hammer and Thunder are so similar. But I like Thunder more due to it feeling like I'm damaging someone. Hammer's range is not really great an I'm barely able to tell if I hit someone; and it's especially annoying if only two of the pellets hit. Whereas with Thunder if you hit the target you can actually deal a decent amount of damage. Overall both are great but I like Thunder more slightly.

Finally someone agrees.

Vulcan has eaten up alot of thunders previous glory, the more alike the attributes of turrets are, the more will it just come down to dps.

They share the same range, both have practically unlimited ammo, but where vulcan has intense knockback and dps+ the ridiculous auto aim thunder has splash damage, and the abilty to hide and shoot, which is not a usefull tactic for the gun to control large areas and deal mass damage as fast as you can. Thats for CPs and midfielding/defensive roles on CTFs. Vulcan has also stolen many attributes for DMs that only thunder used to have at the range. The ability to use heavy tanks in larger DMs effectively, + it handles shortrange much better.

 

Thunder suffered from vulcans coming alot more than smoky,hence smoky is starting to look much more useful, even tho vulcan occupies alot bigger space on thunders previous turf. <_<

[terminator2298 2]

love the gun it's the best!! especially when you can knock out a wasp in two shots! :)

[Thomas11239 366]

Since I bought Smoky M3, I never use it anymore, even though it's almost M4. Smoky just rocks ;)

Good assesment. Vulcan at M3/M4 level has so much going for it and so few disadvantages

that it will be increasingly used over other turrets: at least if it doesn 't get nerfed...

Shaft and Thunder are particularly suffering, while at the same the whole battlefield

is suffering from Vulcans M3/M4 's OP reign.

 

Besides that I believe Thunder also already suffered from changes made in last balances,

which made the Smoky in mutual fights an even more difficult opponent.

 

In the end it 's a shame. Though Smoky provides imo a good alternative,

Thunder used to be an icon of Tanki.

Well,it hasn 't been treated as bad as Freeze, maybe that 's somewhat positive...

I played a Madness CTF a few weeks back with Thunder, on my alt. Let me say, it was pretty fun. Once you get to the bottom everything dies easily. My only problem is Smoky, which has an annoying impact force. But nonetheless, easy points.

Underpowered on M3. Too many Twins and Firebirds ruining the fun.

[Paco_Geo 5]

Thunder M4 is amazing weapon so power with double damage but splash damage hurts like a bishhh... But get Eternity like i have or Prodigi and you should be fine Clay is another good paint for thunder.. It is Bae It's the most used turret in my garage to this point. M4 thunder and M4 amazing for OMP you can do so many other tricks other people couldn't even do.. M4 thunder is the way to goooo :D <3

Anyone here have thunder at around 40/50 micro upgrades? Right now mines 17/50 and I want to know if it would be a waste to spend all of my crystals on one gun. Thanks

[Typo 1,299]

I wouldn't suggest getting any where close to 40/50 because later on almost everyone will have a Thunder paint(Especially Emerald). Doesn't matter whether you have 110 damage or anything if someone has emerald it'll be cut down to almost half. Save for better M3s later on(Smoky, Twins, Vulcan, Ricochet or Fire)

People can any paint for any weapon so it doesn't matter it's the same thing.

I would say it's soo worth it i got M4 thunder most people don't really use Emerald it's random anymore even with Prodigi mxed out doesn't have full 50% and still does a lot to damage plus the splash gets anyone in the radius amazing for Monte carlo sandbox and a Thunder M4 can really change a battle if the oponite doesn't have thunder protection tell one of ur team mates to get like isida or something then they got to switch paints then if that paint doesn't have thunder protection ur set. So get as close to M4 or even M4 and ur set.

What hull goes best with Thunder?

[TheUpstartRonin 8]

It depends on your playstyle, but medium-heavy hulls tend to work better with Thunder than light hulls.

Agreed, M4 Thunder is on a whole another level compared to M3. Rustle isn't even enough to prevent me from getting pummeled from this gun!

What hull goes best with Thunder?

Thunder can basically go with any hull if you want to go mid and defence. Use Viking it's good combo for attacking but be careful with the splash damage. Thunder is strangely good with Wasp not only for parkour but for battling too. Just get a good paint. Hunter and Hornet are another favorite You can really change a battle with thunder if other people on the enemy team don't have the protection for it. " REMEMBER:Thunder got splash and the more you go up in the lvl's and get M3-M4 it hurts with double damage unless u get a good paint that protects against it but it works good with viking and hunter Awesomely because of the Protection. Plus more stable then hornet and wasp they are lighter.
