Let's Discuss Smoky!

[Tani_S 736]

The truth about thunder video showed lower damage, as it recorded only the kill-shots.. I assume there was not more to be taken away from his poor victim :P

It would be cool if it was so, but the figures were in white and not in red, so he didn't die from them. Also my Thunder's max. dmg. is 940 and I don't think I have ever seen a damage counter over 900 without having DD.

Btw it's nice that Smoky's critical shot damage counter appear in yellow instead of white color.

Smoky is OP after the update

[NewbieCake 3,067]

Hence why I'm M2ing it on my Master Sergeant alt. Already at about 13 MUs, got 8k in the bank. But gonna wait for MU sale.

You have M1 and are MUing it to M2 level? Damn

[Krillin 4]

Smoky is the only turret pre-M3 worth micro upgrading.

M2 Smoky is unlocked very late (more than 10 ranks) so it is worth MU'ing M1 Smoky.

 

M2 Wasp/Titan also unlock late, so this is how you get overpowered:

1. Get the Savage or Keeper kit early

2. MU Smoky and hull to M2

3. Enjoy being overpowered all the way until Brigadier

 

It will take about 400,000 crystals and 1 month to get the OP M2 combo as early as Warrant Officer ranks.

400kk crystals is about €60 euros (with bonus card ofcourse). If this is too expensive you can still MU Smoky alone, which is 200,000 crystals.

hmm.. I must have missed that part.

Well then lets see. Maybe they still have some bugs in the damage model.. the testservers also did not behave like todays in-game damage (freeze as an example was not slowing down the tanks on the testserver very much)

I know I will, Fire and Smoky are the only M2 turrets I've gotten more than once.

[NoobTanker18 63]

Wish i could have that

Picked up Smoky M3 last night and tried it out. I was a little underwhelmed. Damage and reload did not seem much improved vs M2.

 

Before everyone says "ur not using it right" I will qualify...

 

It was just one evening.

The lag was horrible - making the battles almost unplayable. And the drugging was - rampant. Seemed more than usual.

But everyone suffers similar lag so I will also add...

 

Maybe my expectations were a wee bit too high.

- The jump from M2 to M3 gives the smallest % increases for Smoky. It is no where near the jump from M1-M2

- I had ~ 15 MUs on my Smoky M2. So my "real" increases are even smaller than on paper.

 

I will need to add ~ 15 MUs to make a proper comparison. Plus the performance gap between M3-M4 is > gap between M2-M3.

Probably due to the lag.

I can perform pretty will in 30-40 fps rates. Of course I will die and turn into walls a lot more due to lag spikes, but I can still cap flags and stuff

30-40 dps is SOP for me. But yesterday was full of 10-20 FPS "fun".

[ghost-guns 1,486]

Smoky is as good as ever.

Where you have it in MUs at moment?

I'm thinking about upgrading it a lot more because it is simply that good, but it can get boring after a while.

Depends on the hull you use.  :)

Viking is best. People prefer hornet, but with speed boost, viking can be faster than wasp and viking has the third highest HP out of all the hulls.

Ahh stop it with the "third highest HP".  You could also say fifth highest or fourth highest.

It took me about to 35 mus for my m3 smoky to become really OP.

 

I have it to 50/50 now and it is awesome. It kills just about everything, and quickly, maybe 2 shots for most. Someone with Viking full m4 may take 3-4 shots but most only 2.

 

You mean the light hulls in 2 shots? I guess with DD?  ;)
