Dan,that is not always right,but if you know how to use some tricks,you can defeat rico everytime in 1 vs 1 

[Vettefan22 145]

^ Thunder is better with skill, simply put. Face to face... good luck.

[Thekillerpenguin 1,731]

I'm liking Thunder a lot better now. It's great for fire support in the right hands, but since the advent of the Ricopocalypse, I'm having a hard time competing with the massive number of M1 Rico users constantly spamming their shots vaguely in my direction.

 

I've MU'd the damage up 2 levels, so now the damage it deals is fairly close to a M0 Smoky crit. Very effective in general, I personally use it with Dictator.

[Vettefan22 145]

^ Just wait till you get both M1!

Haha, YES! The term 'Ricopocalypse' is becoming more popular. If you plan to get Thunder M1, get it as soon as possible on the nearest sale. If you can get it at the Warrant Officer ranks, there will be many M0 hornets lying around. This means you get a lot of two hit kills, which is really good.

Most important thing when facing a Rico: don`t move your turret

i think you mean move turret .-.

[DanTheKiller1 2,889]

no,try to aim using the hull,if you are moving the turret while being hited you lose alot of aim,it helps more trying to aim moving the hull

What? It's fixed after the re-balance.

[LiquidSoup 9]

Yea, they made the thunder have a much larger effective range.

[HighwindsGDN 30]

WOW thunder is CRAP now!!!!  You have to be kidding me how bad this gun is now.  I just used it and tried to drug probably 5 sets of drugs and got 3 kills?  Is this a joke???  Map was Iran too, I even tried hanging back with the new range and NOTHING.  Had to shoot an un drugging titan 7 times while I was using DP?

Maybe thunder was too good before ;)

[Vettefan22 145]

@Highwinds : Are you one of those Generalissimos with no skill? Ok just kidding that was harsh and probably (probably) inaccurate. But Thunder is still a good gun... just requires more skill than before.

[LiquidSoup 9]

Does Thunder work better with Mammoth or Viking?

[DanTheKiller1 2,889]

Does Thunder work better with Mammoth or Viking?

Depends,but for low ranks I strongly recommend using it with Hornet,it`s a perfect combo

[LiquidSoup 9]

But what do you do when you face a Viking/Thunder? Just run away?

[DanTheKiller1 2,889]

But what do you do when you face a Viking/Thunder? Just run away?

Try to hide,or make him miss

[Buggati_The_Best 1,233]

a skilled thunder can use the splash to wipe you out :lol:

[Remaine 4,687]

But what do you do when you face a Viking/Thunder? Just run away?

Get behind it. Then he's done.

[LiquidSoup 9]

Personally, I still like using the Viking with the Thunder. I'm probably just bad but I die to much with hornet.
