Let's Discuss Thunder!

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

Protection based on % is flawed.

Agredd 10000%

Sounds perfectly accurate... 

 

Due to recent discoveries, I've found that Smoky m2 is the bane of my existence not Thunder.

Ever heard of magnum?

[venomb6 6]

At my rank it's not really a problem, I imagine that it will soon be though...

At my rank too , i see protections too but i drug too well 

[splitterpoint 10,986]

Thunder sucks at my rank, I barely use my M4.

[DieselPlatinum 5,121]

It's because of the protections against it, right?

[splitterpoint 10,986]

Yeah man it's insane

[DieselPlatinum 5,121]

Yeah man it's insane

I hear that the devs are planning to add custom protection, so maybe everyone will get modules against magnum and maybe even ease off on them thunder protections a little. :ph34r:

Yeah but they won't give you protection against Magnum if you don't already have it. They'll give you the highest protection you have for it. For example if you have two paints one of them has 10% and the other 15% against Magnum, you'll get a module that has 15%. So people still have to buy it. Thing is, a lot of people don't have protection against it which makes playing versus a Magnum really annoying ._.

But yeah, I'd really like to see less people using Thunder protection :lol: It used to be my favorite turret but I can't really use it now.

From WO1 till around Brigardier I've used thunder all the time because people barely had thunder protection but at high ranks, every single person has it (including me fully maxed out) but it is unplayable, no joy wasting shots on 45%'s.

Yeah, exactly.

To be honest it is that way for most of the fun turrets - Rail, Smoky etc.

[thunderousrailgunner 1,934]

Even m4s don't do well in high ranks ?  :mellow:

Nuuuuu not my baby Magnum!

Aah on the other hand, something had to be done.

 

Perhaps I can finally use my old Viking Thunder combo again like I did before the rebalance. A lot of people bought Thunder as their first M3. They were everywhere.

 

Thunder is extremely powerful without protection against it. It would surpass a lot of turrets on the mid field. Currently Ricochet dominates there and even those dumb Twins.

Protection modules can make an M4 feel like an M0.

With Thunder, it feels like you're using Smoky but with a stupid slow reload and some tiny little critter-denting splash damage.

 

Protections against high damage per shot turrets are the most effective. Magnums, Railers and Shafts are nothing against 50%

 

It would be a good move to enable nitro and run away from those guys. Unless you're a Thunder that is.. you'll run straight into another enemy with 30-50% protection.

Very true O_O. I am using thunder m3 (8/20) and all I can do is look for a weaker opponent. Even hornet m2s are roaming free with DA+protection module from thunder. Unless there is someone who wrecks the battle with another turret,making people change their modules, as a thunder user, suffering is still inevitable :(

I think thunder is fine in up to major general , I can still easily dominate in battles

 

I only suffer when I play against marshals and above (and sometimes I still dominate anyway)

Even with protections around

We can do well in maps where enimies come in groups , especially in ASL blue base 

[Zehmiel 223]

It must be nerfed

[lordmostafa 3,821]

Merged.

[DieselPlatinum 5,121]

I think you're just mad because you don't have an m3 version of thunder. It's fine, no need to break the balance even more.

[gokuMI6 1,290]

It must be nerfed

Why ?

Are you blind to see the protection modules  against it ?  :o

[CrimsonComet 15]

Yeah man it's insane

I think the problem is that protections protect you way too much. Cutting someone's damage in half is like an always active double armor + the fact that you can also use double armor. I'd like to see the protection cap being lowered to say like 35%.
