Pfffff....nice long Polygon DM. Thunder really rocks in this map! B)

 

This was "only" a practice round, because I want to be the best I can in the future when I am going to play Viking M1/M2 - Thunder M1 with my two main accounts. :)

 

This was a (non-drugging) fight with Viking M0 - Thunder M0. The Viking M0 is barely MU 'd: not worth it because at WO1 you already have the M1 upgrade.

 

The Thunder damage is well MU 'd, because it is a long way to Thunder M1. The damage is MU 'd to step 17: you can really notice the improvement!

 

Number two was a Hornet-Freeze. Was almost a non-drugger, so nice score!

 

We had quite a few Goldboxes, no luck this time.

I will. On one account WO5 I play Viking M1 with Thunder M1 (later M2) and also in the nearby future Rico M2. See if The Rico M2 is worth it.....

 

On the other account TL I will play Viking M2 :wub:  with Thunder M1 (later M2) and also in the future Smoky M2!

 

Played already a lot with Smoky M1: love the gun but the Thunder M1 in my "skillfull hands"  ;)  is more effective in Polygon! 

 

And I have a Hornet - Railgun account......enough??? :D :D :D

This is weird

I guess thunder has turned into the strongest gun after the MUs

I played with hornet + 3/4 upgraded thunder against fully MUed dictator with rico m3

we both drugged and i always won !

And i got the first rank in my team without drugging, i drugged only twice to test thunder Vs rico

Despite i was using prodigi and that rico was using picaso

Yet am not sure about what the range does to thunder

Unfortunately yh...i think all thunder users feel that way. But MUs are saving the day really. Paints wont be enough for a Thunder with a reload time 2.12 and dmg per shot of 103 :) Even if they have 50% Thunder prot. Would take around 5-6 shots for a Hornet to get killed BUT...those shots are going to be done very fast. I already feel the difference now where my Thunder has 2.18 reload time and max dmg of 90hp. I just can't imagine what a BEAST it will be fully MUed :D

Mine is still 2.18

I wonder if the discounts on MUs will omit the speed up option or will make it to the half as well. may be we are throwing away our crystals and then we get shocked with the DCs on MUs

You really have too much time... but nice work. The buff M0 Thunder got with the physics update really healped I think (of couse, the micro-upgrades on it helped too). My best high score with Thunder (and my best overall score) is 2276 on Silence, lots of Hornets getting spashed and floors getting shot at. :) Only a couple of Nuclears used against a particualarly feisty M2 Hornet / M2 Isida on full drugs for a while be he left after he only got 1 flag after about 20 attempts. :P

 

PS: My best on Polygon was 222 kills (I won) but I had to drug for all of the 50 times I died because most of the guys in the match went for me after I cracked 100 kills on 20 deaths. -_- I only got 1121 crystals, so it wasn't really worth it.

thunder is the best on MUs

It really seems like it....i mean so far the only "serious" MU i have done on it is its reload time (one stage left to do). It is gonna be a paradise once i start doing dmg as well.

i dont like in test that there are plenty of clay,picasso and emerald paints :(

but i still do very good,except against mammy m3 with emerald and isida m3 :mellow:

that combo is very tought!!!

and smoky isnt quite that strong,only when criticals appears you make some pwnage :D

i like dictator or hunter combo with thunder the most,after comes titan :D

Edit:1 more rank and you unlock smoky m3 ;)

Damage is by far the most important MU! This counts for every gun in my opinion.

Second MU I personally prefer is more rotation-speed.

 

A better reload time is only really important when you face an opponent with a similar weapon

and your shots start just a little fraction faster than his.

The fatal and final shot in this case will be yours (if hulls are equal ofcourse).

This reload time can be very important for duelling Railgunners though.

 

Micro-Upgraded damage by Thunder means even more splash damage!

I really had a lot more of multiple kills in one shot due to this.

 

It is nice to notice that with more experience, you get some sort of idea of how much the different hulls are already damaged.

This comes in very handy to decide which tank of a group/cluster to hit first with Thunder 's Splash-damage.

When it really works out ( with a little bit of luck too, allright ;) ) you can get four kills in one shot.....the power of Thunder! B)

Very true. The Thunder M0 is not anymore "the gun to skip untill it reaches M1". The pre-NP Thunder was cr.p.

But the NP Thunder is certainly not a beginners gun, still best to play Smoky first.

rotation speed doesnt counts :lol:

second place is the reload 100% for thunder and after the range

Well let 's do some maths on your so beloved  :P  reloading time:

 

Let 's take the Thunder M1:

 

Total reload MU 'd on 100% costs 44.200 crystals !

 

You have than diminished reload time with a total of 0.09 seconds. This is still not 1/10th of a second. Not that impressive....

From 2.66 seconds you go to  2.66 - 0.09 = 2.57 seconds reload.....

 

In percentage it means 3.4 % more shots.

So if a "clean" Thunder shoots 100 times, the fully reload MU 'd Thunder will shoot 103.4 times. :blink:

 

What a difference for those mere 44.200 crystals....... :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

Better save the money and only do the cheap first -0.02 step for 814 crystals! B)

Or eventually the first two steps is -0.04 for 5641 crystals ( -0.04: almost 8 times cheaper than a full -0.09...)

 

So I just stick with more rotation speed. No meaningfull maths possible on that one,

but to be able to aim your gun fast in front, ór behind you.....well...... ;)

or.....what Placebo-effect can accomplish...... ;)

no,it really does a huge difference :P

What you know? :P

the full MU reloading at thunder m3 is 2.12 seconds!!

a huge diff from standart 2.5 :P

and the damage is the most important in my opinion :wub:
