Let's Discuss Smoky!

[WarMonkey51Austin 68]

IMO, smoky m2 is one of the best m2 turrets, but it unlocks so late! :(

[canadarules 1,938]

smoky is like hunter god with anything

[dolahbk 27]

[samlauncher 106]

any tips on using smoky m2 effectively? in polygon cp as well? it feels underpowered when i play in polygon cp :(

Edited February 16, 2015 by samlauncher

[roadkill78 39]

smokey m1 is so weak

yes i know how it gets better at m2

[doduobird 315]

Smoky M2 is probably the best M2, tbh.

[Ginjertank5194 0]

I really like smoky (i have it m1).  1 of the reasons is because i find it easy to kill a ricochet/viking m1 and not take much damage.  :)

[general1699 32]

Which among the four is the best ?

1 - M2 Dictator + M2 Smoky

2 - M2 Dictator + M2 Thunder

3 - M2 Viking + M2 Thunder

4 - M2 Viking + M2 Smoky

I Usually play Polygon CP. I also play Noise CTF sometimes but very rarely though

PS - I have M2 Hornet, M2 Railgun and M2 Fire and 190k Crystals

i just bought smoky m2 a few days ago, getting dictator m2 & 1 with it on sale, if u can get thunder m3 soon then go for it, if your aiming/skills is good smoky m2 does ok in poly cp, smoky would be better in other modes like ctf/tdm, i want dictator purely for gold and good hp after MUs(about hunter m4 hp), i got fire m2 as well, it does as good/better than thunder m2 in poly cp matches

^ This kid is one hell of a noob at CP . Nearly lost a match around 6 hrs back when this one noob of a kid started multing with a m2/m2 smoky /hornet with m3/m3 commanders in it....

the match was won by A LOT of points in the end, and it was not like i did nothing, got ~600 score in about 30mins of play, i lose too many cp matches to noobs, mults and druggers in my ranks, its not like i dont know anything, there were literally no available matches near these ranks and servers were near empty, by the way, why arent u complaining about the 2-3 mults and a few noobs in the other team?? only half of them were playing, i am sure u were happy at the end

I have posted before to ask whether I should buy Smoky M1 or not (please see posts in previous page)

 

I have been using Smoky M0 since I joined TO; Smoky M0 is the only turret I have. I have realised that the Smoky M0 has become relatively weak after powerful new turrets (Hammer & Vulcan) were released and some turrets' damage powers (Firebird, Ricochet, Hammer & Twins) were increased. Don’t forget that the impact force of Smoky, and Railgun, was reduced not long ago.

 

I finally have enough crystals and made up my mind to buy a Smoky M1 in the upcoming sale 3 days later. After I have talked to one of my friends, however, I am now in doubt. My friend pointed out that since Smoky is the most economic turret (M0 is free, M1 is relatively very cheap,...etc), the game designers won't let Smoky to be a relative effective weapon otherwise tankers won't spend their crystals, and even real money, to acquire other/more turrets. My friend is expecting Smoky will be further downgraded, even not much, in the future. I like Smoky because it is the most classical weapon in TO and it makes my tank likes a real tank; however, if what my friend said is correct, I will be sticking to a very very combat ineffective weapon. I have been experiencing hard time with the Smoky M0 since I have reached the rank of Master Sergeant. I don't gain many crystals in battles since then because I cannot fight well; that's why I didn't have enough crystals to buy the M1, at First Sergeant, until now (Warrant Officer 1). If what my friend said really applies to Smoky, that would be very very no fun at all. Would any Smoky, M1 or M2, users out there could give me some suggestions and tell me your experiences? Thank you.

M1 Smoky is very good at your rank- it'll definitely last until you unlock more effective turrets, like M1 Thunder. Some people take their M1 Smokies even further than that. I highly doubt that it'll be downgraded in the future, so if you feel like it's a good choice, go for it.

 

I used mine heavily until I got M1 Thunder, and still used it sporadically until I got M2 Ricochet. If you use it strategically, it will bring you very far. I wrote a guide to Smoky a while back- it might help you out.

M1 Smoky is near OP at your rank if you use it right. Currently have an alt with M1 Titan-Smoky, haven't lost a battle since i bought M1 Smoky.

Thank you for the reply. Yes, you pointed out that you use mines a lot and so do I. I even very rely on drugs otherwise I cannot survive in almost every fire-fighting in a battle. If I am not drugging, I just give up when I am under attack by Firebird, Freeze or Riocochet since I have no chance to run away from these powerful weapons and the best I can do is to shoot them back with one almost harmless shot before I am destroyed. However, I don’t really like to use drugs since I feel like I am cheating (I know it is not); hence, I only pickup them on the battlefield but not using my own to limit the drugs I use in a battle. I will go thru you article before the sale and see is there any further reply of my post in order to make up my mind. I will choose between Smoky and Thunder; they are the most classical and realistic weapons in TO.

I still use my M1 Smoky. With a few micro upgrades, it can take you to Colonel! Smoky has already gotten its impact force lowered, albeit it is still quite high, so it won't get downgraded.

 

I love Smoky. It really works well at this rank, suprisingly.

 

By the way, which hull are you getting to complement it? I suggest M1 Wasp. It is cheap and very good! M1 Hornet isn't a bad choice too!

 

Don't get M1 Thunder - Yes, it was a waste. Not that it is bad statistically, but there are too many paints people use against it - not worth it.

Yes, a MU 'd Smoky M1 can in theory take you to Colonel...if you have become very skilled with it.

But personally no way I would have done that with earlier accounts I played with!

 

If you really want to suffer, you could even rank with Hunter M0/Smoky M0 to Generallisimo...

 

No, in reality it 's a much better choice to go with the very powerful Thunder M1 at WO4.

Btw. calling the Thunder M1 "a waste" is one of the most dopey remarks I ever read on this forum. :D

 

Well, every piece equipment is "a waste" if you haven 't got a clue how to use it I guess... -_-

Thanks for the reply. I am a Smoky lover too :) cuz it is the most realistic weapon in TO; another one is Thunder.

 

I am using Hunter, M0 of course, with some MUs. I am in doubt with Wasp or other light armour hulls. At this moment, I am thinking of Viking. Why? because for the moment, I need, usually, 4 shots for taking out a Hornet, 5 for Hunter and 6 for Viking (with no drugs for both side) with one of the shots is a critical hit; sometime I need more shots. On the other hand, a non-drugged M1 Firebird can destroy me (in full health) in less than 2 sec (after they re-balanced the Firebird), a M0 Thunder can destroy me with no more than 4 shots, M0 Ricochet 4 shots, M1 Ricochet 3 shots, Hammer 2 shots with good aiming, not to mention the Freeze; I have totally no chance, even an Isida can kill me before I take it out face to face. What was happening the most about 2~3 weeks ago was that I moved around, left and right, back and forth, shot the enemy tank 3 to 4 times, it didn't die, then I got killed quickly. I feel totally hopeless because I have skills and I hit the enemy, many times, but it doesn't work; then the enemy tank shoot back and kill me easily. I, now in these 2 weeks, mostly flee rather than fight when I saw an enemy tank is coming toward me; or what I can do is to shoot an enemy tank once, or maximum twice, from a distance then run away. However, most of the time I was spotted after I have hit an enemy tank and I got shot and destroyed. I barely "destroy" a tank and that's why I am not playing DM and TDM now and I barely able to capture flags in CTF battles.  If a Wasp can let me make more successful escapes, may be I can go for it but that means I would be a "run-away" tank. I totally have no idea which hull I will go for because I never though about it; I got killed quickly anyway. I am thinking to make my gun (attack) more powerful; that's why I am looking forward to see should I go for the M1 Smoky or switch to other turrets. It looks like some turrets can do easy kill (at least they kill) than the Smoky (M0) but I really really don't like to put them on my tank. I will make choice between Smoky and Thunder, or both. I can accept Isida because it heals tanks but I have no intention of acquiring it at this point.

 

BTW, talk about paints, do you have any suggestion which one (or two) I may get in the upcoming sale? (according to what I mention above). I, most likely, will be promoted to WO2 in hours. I now own none of them.

 

Thank you
