Let's Discuss Smoky!

[Lord-of-the-Snipers 1,620]

I began to use more of my Smoky M3+ than Twins M3+ nowadays because it's just too fun :P It helps to keep people out of the point.

 

19, moving to 20. I hope M4 smoky is really worth it... 

Imagine M2 Smoky but on steroids and married to the BFG 9000.

Money well-spent. :3

...and than one day they buf Vulcan and nerf Smoky...it 's Tanki after all! :D

Vulcan is already too OP, and there's many Africa tankers running around. I can't decide which was better: The one before the recent rebalance has more critical but less damage, but today's smoky its the other way around.

Vulcan is definitely OP and Smoky is balanced in my view. Turrets like Thunder and Freeze can use a buf.

Just saying that Tanki sometimes has surprising ideas about "balance"... :P

 

The Smoky before the balance with all the criticals was extremely OP. So it got nerfed. A good decision by the Devs.

 

Now Smoky is a decent turret, but it is pretty weak when facing

medium and especially heavy hulls with Smoky paints (plenty of them in high rank battles) without using DP.

 

Ofcourse every turret gets negatively effected by paints, but because of the low damage per regular Smoky shot the amount of

time needed to kill a well-armoured and protected hull can be like :( or  <_<  ...even the fast reload or critical can 't fix this.

 

Every Smoky player knows the feeling of despair when for example a Viking/Isida with Savanna gets to close...

even with DP... :D

If You wanT to Domminate The tanki world, then You should really use smoky. Smoky goes really good with wasp and holiday!! BUT....Firebird and hornet are a MUCH better combo...smoky and wasp m1 are a really bad combo.. only use if u are a noob... wasp m2 and smokey m2 are a good combo.

If your looking ot dominate tanki online... use smoky and wasp with holiday paint..BUT only do this if you have smokey m2 and wasp m2 and your trying to look like a NOOB.. otherwise.. firbird and hornet are a pretty DECENT combo.

[Jerrystarberry 32]

Do you think I should use smoky and wasp or smoky and hornet both are MU 15

[noely01 149]

use smoky/hornet, it is way more stable, but at the end of the day it is ur choice :)

[Jerrystarberry 32]

Yeah but smoky wasp is good for circle  strafe and ctf capture

[epictanker7 0]

Smoky is one of the best guns in the game... ONLY  you know how to properly use the gun. It goes well with holiday paint and wasp. I do not recommend smoky for noobs and people who aren't experienced at this game, only use smoky if you are desperate.. or have insanely good skills. If you can't use smoky use firebird and hornet.

Yeah but smoky wasp is good for circle  strafe and ctf capture

it is only good if you know how to circle strafe and capture flags...otherwise it pretty useless

Why Holiday Paint? This may work at lower ranks, but at higher ranks nearly everyone has effective protective paints. Protection is crucial at higher ranks with Wasp. Even a cheap paint such as Forester Paint will allow you to survive a Railgun of the same modification. Stong close range protection can save you more than just once. I suggest you to rethink before advising anyone.

is smoky m3 better then hammer m3?

[Zanlasha_G 119]

is smoky m3 better then hammer m3?

Both are good turrets, but you will find Smoky to be more versatile. 

[epictanker7 0]

Smoky has been completely OP: reason

 

Its critical hit can spread around! If you hit one opponent, it'll move to another, if they're touching each other! So Thunder is Useless! Thunder needs more power and NEEDS MORE RELOAD SPEED

shaft and hornet are a good combo..... so you should use it.

[epictanker7 0]

shaft and hornet are a good combo for snipers and work well

[Phoenix.Rising 2,519]

Anyone have Smoky M4? What's it like?

 

I'm only half way through...

you cannot believe how good it is at m4

i have had mine from christmas and even a look at my profile will give you an idae how good it is

well worth every crystal i spent on it

[Thekillerpenguin 1,731]

It's not very good for camping due to its low health, especially if there are Shafts on the enemy team. It's a good combination for people who want to run around and attack quickly, but for traditional sniping (remaining in a good perch for an extended period of time), something like Viking would work better.

Anyway, back to the topic. M2 Smoky is proving to be one of my favorite turrets- it's just as if not more effective than M1 Smoky was when I bought it in my early days. Hopefully it will last until Marshal with some micro-upgrades- if not, I might have to let it rust in my garage for a while.

After how many shots[avg] does smoky score a critical for M1/M2/M3?

[W6N 39]

smoky : the best m4 in the game

[999sub_XT 1]

Nah im going for thunder or twins m2 first. Then i'll see :ph34r:

[999sub_XT 1]

Buy the m2 twins or the smoky thunder is low in popularity.

[999sub_XT 1]

I love the m1 smoky.
