Let's Discuss Smoky!

[NewbieCake 3,067]

I am wondering , does the Critical damage decrease with range?

Yes, it does. But not by much... Thunder damage decreases dramatically with range.

[kayitsiz 621]

Dramatically!? Minimum damage is %60!

[doduobird 315]

I'm getting Smoky M2 on the next 50% sale :D

Then I'm going to get Wasp M3 and then Smoky M3 and then a paint like Prodigi or something :)

[NewbieCake 3,067]

That's still horrible. 40% off the damage.

[Loackie 269]

That's still horrible. 40% off the damage.

Thunder has a far better effective range than smoky....Update 270 has been a thing for awhile

Smoky nerf has made smoky just a decoration in my garage. Same goes to railgun. I can only enjoy hammer now :(

Railgun is still a pretty deadly weapon. . .

Long range, big damage, don't even talk about double power.  . . .

Oh well, you're right :P

the smoky's 1/6th impact nerf is most felt against the hunters and Vikings which I used to be able to deflect if I hit their extreme corner. Now, no matter how close to the edge I go I cannot deflect a Hunter or Viking of average skill.

 

I will admit that light tanks are still susceptible to properly timed corner shots, but it does not turn them as far. This makes it possible for a skilled and properly reacting railgun/hornet m3 to recover from a smoky shot that hit them at the beginning of their 1.1 seconds long glow. This in turn means that smokies now have a smaller window of opportunity and will require even more skill to remain competitive.

Unfortunately, it appears Tiger is the most purchased paint of the new ones - guess that's a new 30% to watch out for.

Tiger with it 's standard 30% will probably become popular, Nano will do well too.

 

a MU 'd Nano does also 30% Smoky... :mellow:

 

...and a MU 'd Tiger does 50% Smoky... :(.....S.O.S....

"MUed tiger gets to 50% smoky" Oh snap, enemies won't have to choose between high protection for railgun or high protection for smoky anymore. Definitely going to be seeing a lot of those.

 

BTW tanki has gone back on it's promise for paints. They originally said the MU would not go past 150% the original protection, or no higher than 50%. Whichever one came first. 30% plus 15% is 45%, not 50%.

For the last time it isn't nerfed, it was o.p before and after the recent update, as long as its damage/dynamics dosen't change i will never stop using it

I liked smoky by it impact force. I can make everyone miss. If I want kills, I would rather take my Thunder, my Hammer or even my Ricochet. Oh well, Hammer still has impact force :D

damn now its hard to flip wasps & hornets 

[Remaine 4,687]

For you.

[Buggati_The_Best 1,233]

is harder than before but still possible

[NewbieCake 3,067]

I am glad they made that update, as a Wasp user myself, I find the impact of Smoky and Rail (especially Rail) causing me to flip 24/7.

Smoky is a killer weapon, but Thunder, Firebird, and Freeze are serial killers o_o

Are you serious?! 50% on  Smoky when fully MU'd? Man, I guess that's another paint to watch out for.
