Let's Discuss Thunder!

[wolverine848 13,097]

Definitely agree. Striker has less reload time and almost does same damage as thunder with both activated DD. Striker is lethal in battles if anyone knows how to use it, sometimes you don't need no laser to destroy the enemy, fire 2 rockets with DD activated and job done. Whilst thunder would take at least 3-5 shots to destroy the enemy with DD also. 

Most Thunder shots will hit due shell velocity.  Not so with Striker - quite a few misses - especially on fast-moving targets.

 

Honestly so OP, especially in low ranks. In my opinion best Turret in the game.

For M-levels like M1, Thunder unlocks quite late compared to other m1 turrets.  Most items are like this... late unlock = more power.

But on the other hand, Striker's fast reload makes up for the lack of missiles velocity. 1.8 seconds is almost like an M4 Smoky which is quite fast.

Yes reload is good.

Unfortunately most will miss the target, so that quick re-load is wasted.

 

Increase the re-load time and let me be able to hit a target would be my preference.

Yea same here!

But it's all about trade-offs bro, you get one thing you lose another  :lol: so you might as well just get accustomed to it :ph34r: .

[mhh.2000 888]

yes , I'm thinking about making an account only for striker , once there was a gold box dropping and I used the slavo mode with DD , killed 5 targets , yes 5 targets and I took the gold from inside their base , this is when I truly knew the power of striker

My way of "getting accustomed to it" is parking the the silly thing in my garage.

 

I feel like I'm handi-capping my team when I use it and quickly switch to Ricco - the performance is like night-and-day.

[enri_chill 265]

This is true, which is why I always check the protections of the other side before switching to it. If I see not many has any protection against it, then I equip it and have fun. But if not I feel sad and wounder if M4 will help....

I fear that the new battle matching system will eliminate the opportunity for us to do this. I also typically choose my configuration based on game, board, and active protections/turrets. To remove that opportunity (which I hope I am incorrect about) will ruin TO in many ways.

its okay exept reload is too slow <_<

m0 is slow otherwise its stunning believe me Best experience of mine ;)

Lol, you just replied to a post that happened 4 years and 10 months ago.

If you want to make everyone rage quit the game, look no further than Thunder and Viking (especially the matrix kit, that thing is pure devastation if you buy it soon enough).

Wait until you get up in these ranks. Many players up here will have at least 25% protection against thunder. :ph34r:

[mhh.2000 888]

just look at all of these protections against my thunder

 

ENOUGH SAID

 

14/20 people had protections against me , that's 70% of the total number of players in this battle

I bet you cant find this amount of protection modules with any other turret in the game (other than twins and railgun)

LOL , That is Sad , The problem is the Protection for Twins just make sure he lives a little longer

While the ones of Thunder and Rail make them pretty weak  :(

Matrix?  Try Predator - even more OP for unlock rank.  Hunter M1 (> viking m1) 4 ranks early?

 

It's ridiculous.

How many of those 14 were Thunder users?  Self-protection kind of skews the numbers...

I also use thunder protection so make that 15

 

maybe 1 or 2 other than me , no one used thunder in that battle (you can clearly see why)

I wonder why there's so much protection against it

Because thunder take off half of your HP with DD. I used to play without thunder protection and it was really annoying because the amount of damage thunder can do is ridiculous.

When I use M4 thunder it takes 2 shots with DD to destroy M3 Viking. The nerf was really hard on thunder.

and thunder protections make it practically useless 

they should nerf protections a bit , they're too strong

For some turrets, they are. But turrets like Vulcan and twins dont seem to care.

[gokuMI6 1,290]

Yes , because they can fire infinetly unlike other turrets which need Reload

They are affected by the Modules more , because they need to        Reload

Not to mention that the damage per shot in these turrets are so small, that it's not worth getting protection against them.

Which ones the no reloads ?

DPS of the others are higher that is  why they are affected more , specially Thunder & Railgun 

But Rail can still manage with the Alt 

But that is not the case of Thunder 

 

With so many protections around Thunder feel like a Nerfed Smoky with Higher reload time

50% is 50%, regardless of the turret.

Thunder is affected no worse than Smokey. Imagine a smoky user picking away at enemy with 50% protection. it will take forever - the enemy would have no problem finding cover as it takes so many hits to kill it.

 

The turrets that run out of ammo will be affected in a different way - they may not be able to kill the enemy unless they hide and recharge.  So isida, Freeze, Fire and Ricco may have issues killing a heavy hull with 50% protection because their energy pool is not large enough to finish the job.  Vulcan possibly too - it may be able to finish the job but has a chance to kill itself in doing so.

[splitterpoint 10,986]

And Twins stands out once again, the dumbest turret with the lowest learning curve gets away with it.

Protection based on % is flawed.
