I feel like i want to MU my thunder

Right now its on 20/50

[WoShiNewbie 55]

for people who think thunder is trash m3. All generallisimo battle (besides me) and I was able to compete with m4/m4s. I'm using thunder m3(31/50) and titan m2(1/50)

Interesting, but your team still lost. It still cannot save them even with 31/50 MUs.

 

Thunder M4 is still underpowered in  polygon matches in my opinion.

true we still lost but they only pulled ahead in the last minute. Everyone else here had m4/m4 combos or almost m4/m4 combos so the fact that a m2/m3.5 combo can compete just shows thunder isn't completely outclassed (in fact pretty good). With drugs on I'd be obliterated instantaneously, but I just wanted to show that thunder can preform in a non-drugging situation. I've also played only one of these battles so I could have very misleading results due to the sample size.

Thunder M4 tank usually gets obliterated by Smoky, Twins, Isidas, etc etc in Polygon CPs. Even with drugs on. The amount of Africas are highly annoying.

 

The reload time now is horrible...

 

It does decently in CTF medium sized maps. Not sure about DMs but Smoky > Thunder there too.

No M4 Smoky is Amazing...

You had the lowest K/D ration in the battle (except for that one guy on blue). That shows you obviously couldn't compete with them.

 

Thunder still sucks. I bought M1 and consider it a waste of crystals. Anyone reading this should save theirs and buy railgun ir smoky.

[NewbieCake 3,067]

I don't consider Thunder M3 a waste of crystals - it's probably my favorite early M3 (later on Rico, Smoky, and Fire beat it) and it can deal a huge amount of damage per shot. Obviously with all the protection paints around it HAS to be a threat.

[iiHasTaPower 55]

I hate thunder its nothing without double damage and you can get self damage -_-

But its amazing for parkours! :D

love the thunderr!

Well it was a threat until they nerfed it. I don't see a lot of Thunder protection these days(Except for Africa but that again is used mainly because of the Vulcan and Hammer protection)

[HaloScorpionV2 438]

Thunder m4 has crazy damage. It 2 shots my 10/50 viking with 25% protection :O

That is not even possible if you get maximum damage out of each shot. Do you mean with DD?

[HaloScorpionV2 438]

yes, i havent had a chance to put a good amount of MUs in picasso and viking, gonna do it during maydays :)

thunder was always my favorite turret. I have thunder m2 now, i played very much time with it but i feel that thunder is a bit too weak.And there are no that big differences between thunder m2 and m3. This turret needs more power, its just too weak

Maybe lack of power isn 't so much the issue.

A slightly faster reload or a higher splash damage could also do the trick.

Yes, i agree with that. And with range also

[smokeyh2 1,512]

what thunder needs is defo better splash damage

i used to use my thunder alot till they nerfed it

im using my smoky m4 now and at the moment it completely outguns thunder

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

Range of Thunder is ok. It 's the best turret for long range after Shaft and Rail, as it should be because those two are made for it. 

Unfortunately Vulcan is (a lot) better too at long range, stupidiously overpowered as it is.

Splash damage used to be a lot better...loved to play with the (very) old Thunder!

Thunder is indeed outgunned by Smoky at M3/M4.

The much faster reload and often the impact force (depending on hull weight) seals it 's fate.

With a reload of half the time and no warm up thunder wasp is Much more effective what do you think post below!

[Rayyan 3,415]

I think, *Facepalm*.

[BuriedSky 1,319]

The damage gets less in thunder....(stock) M3 thunder and M2 rail, both 2 shot a M2 hornet...

 

That ways, you can also say that smoky is better than thunder with lesser reload time and chances of critical...

[999sub_XT 1]

The con is self damage thunder is useless I rather use the smoky than this piece of crap

[M.Enrok 9]

Hello, does its worth to fully micro upgrade thunder m3 ? And how much it coasts?

[Typo 1,299]

765750 crystals excluding Speed Ups. I wouldn't recommend spending that on Thunder when you can spend pretty much the same and have a Smoky M4. 

[Mr.1nFiniTy 0]

 i think it feels like godmode_on when druging with m3 thunder and mamoth :P
