Buggati, do you have Jade? It's better than Picasso for Shaft protection.

[trombone_ftw 734]

Jade has epic stats

Had a long drawn game in my alt account today but it was worth it:

 

The highest scorer on the blue team was drugging 24/7 and that was so annoying because I hate drugging but I had to use about 12 double power supplies because of him :/

Jade is one of the two (I believe) paints that protect from both Smoky AND Thunder but the general consensus is that its protections are underwhelming.

 

I wish I had enough to buy Shaft M3 as well - but it's going to have to wait even longer.

Stinger,please rank up xD

Still...halfway there....

@Remaine: 45% Shaft protection and 25% Smoky protection is underwhelming?? Plus 12% Thunder is just a bonus!

What he said isn't wrong actually, you'll notice that the 25% protection from smoky doesn't make much of a difference. In fact, sometimes even Needle (48% against smoky) fails to compete against all those smokys out there.

I have Needle myself, so whatever I said was based on my personal opinion about the protection it provides while using it and also the fact I am a smoky user as well. Killing a guy with needle isn't hard at all, just some 2 or 3 extra shots and he is done and also don't forget the critical. 

 

So considering what happens with Needle, which has an impressive 48% protection against smoky, you can figure out that 25% isn't a big deal at all.

So that's a high protection against the least popular turret in the game - nice.

And not even 48% is, at times, enough to subdue Smoky.

 

Obviously, the numbers are good, but when I say "underwhelming" it's in regards to its utility. It's unpopular for a reason.

Whatever you say about Jade, it looks good, especially with M3s.

[Remaine 4,687]

Indeed - if I judged paints purely on their looks, Jade would be one of my first "M3 paint" purchases.

[trombone_ftw 734]

Ok

Shaft is definitely not unpopular in maps like Stadium and Serpohuv though..

totally depends on the hull..ur experiences are mostly on hornets with needle, courtesy light M3 kit...a mammoth m3 with needle is almost indestructible to a smoky user, every >40% paint are suppose to be really good against respective weapons..
