Let's Discuss Thunder!

We need to post meme about this monstrosity, to convey our feeling about this ludicrous change.

I have Thunder XT that is 13/20 upgraded and takes 2 shots to kill a player! 

Please don't kill players, we are already only a few left

I can't see myself using thunder again. The change sucks... it's not thunder anymore.

absolutely agree

this is not the Gun we had choose and MUed to the max level, because of strong and direct shot

I'm not gonna use it anymore

Sorry, I just wanted to post this for people who remember how Thunder's shots looked like each Upgrade.

I'm waiting for the M3 version to become a Shot Effect. I am trying very hard to be patient, but I just want this to be in the game already. I hope it's called Gold, or Sparkles, ...

If you are a Helper of the Game, then try to Forward this message to the Developers to keep this in their To-Do List.

(Check out the "Ideas For Shot Effects" section to get my full information on this Shot Effect for Thunder, if interested.)

Thanks.

Hello there! I hope you are doing well!  I would like to ask a question about Thunder's augments:

If I play Thunder on medium to heavy hulls -- such as Viking and Titan -- in team battles, could any of its three alterations be good enough for me to invest? I was thinking maybe the Subcaliber Rounds one...

Thank you in advance!

use viking and sledgehammer .insane combo .goes well with hornet too .i mean going against  a group of sledgehammers is  pure suicide even with 50 percent protection

Do you know what does the specification of "Maximum damage range: -95%" mean?

basically the damage gradually reduces when the enemy gets far from u .much like a smoky .but the reload is so fast ,it doesn't matter much

Ah, now I get what it means: past 5% of the stock Thunder's range, it doesn't deal maximum damage anymore.

Thank you very much for your feedback! I might indeed go for the "Sledgehammer."

I disagree with viking being the best with thunder. However it is a relatively subjective choice because i prefer wasp as I'm more of a parkourist type player.

[l-l.e.a.t_Seeker 48]

When are we getting back our freakin smoky and thunder shoot effects? so did we just waste our crystals to take away something which made our turret playable? 

Someone might say :  "hey thats just a shot color" , thats like they made your viking XT a normal viking and never gave it back to you , Still waiting but I dont expect to have what we have had earlier even those shoot effects are already made like how come they are hard to implement or something ??? No I guess you want more money!

Is Thunder usable in the current meta? Should I buy it or go with Shaft?

Thunders pretty good, just make sure to use protection so that you'll take less damage against your own splash when an enemy is right up in your face. Also MU it a bit.

 

You already have an mk4 Viking, so why not use it with that?

[fghjkl54 1,517]

That's confusing but sledghammer round has a average damage range is decreased by 95% you can say that there is almost no max damage rang and shell speed is decreased

so how it can be OP for some players with 25%

as @DieselPlatinum told you plus use sucaliber round to avoid self damages in case a player stode next to you but the splash damage is also gone with the alt and shell speed is high that's why i prefer this then SCCM (small caliber charging machine)

Meh, I just use stock thunder, and still do fine. But whatever floats your boat.

Thanks. Wasn't really asking for this account tho.

I'll probably use stock Thunder for most of the time too.

That's the max damage range. 

 

It is still powerful because it stretches the distance between the minimum and maximum damage range. Practically, a Sledgehammer Thunder is always dealing less than 100% of its damage, but it still deals a high % of it because the % damage has, at Mk8, 145 metres to drop from 100% to 50%. Thunder with DD takes off a good bit more than half the HP of an unprotected medium hull, so if it were to be dealing 90% of its damage, it would still 2-shot an unprotected medium hull. Sledgehammer at later modifications is able to 2-shot unprotection hulls very quickly, and the increased firing rate makes it better than Stock in longer engagements. 

 

Stock Thunder is good.

How do you feel about Thunder right now? I see players saying it's the worst turret now, garbage, unplayable and the such. On the receiving end of Thunder for me, almost nothing changed. It even got an increased firing rate and now all of its augments have a faster firing rate than Stock.

shaft .its the only turret (besides firebird) that can take on higher modifications of the same turret .suppose  ur using mk4 shaft-hornet against someone with mk6 shaft -hornet .unless its  a close ranged battle,if u have  more skills u win .thunder requires constant updates for it to be usable and the number of people with protection against it is very very high
