Let's Discuss Smoky!

[rambobear11 21]

I gunna save all my cry. 4 Christmas when tanki has a huge sale then I buy smokey m1 and other m1

To me Needle isn't a great paint. For light hulls it lacks Rail protection, unlike Savanna. And for heavy hulls it lacks short range protection, unlike Zeus. That leaves the medium hulls, well also here it wouldn't be my first pick...

of course,it depends what are you playing..in my expirience,it is good with titan/twins on DM polygons and especially PRO battle ctf on kungur and red alert..smoky has made quite of a comeback after last "balancing" and rico can be very annoying too..not to mention shaft on maps such as kungur :) but!..that's just my expirience about needle..I have all 150k+ paints beseides zeus and jade (which I even don't find worth of buying) and I can tell one thng..sooner or later,they all come in handy :)

 

edit:20% rail protection on light hull isn't quite of a protection if you ask me :)

I guess it boils down to preference indeed. For example, I barely play DM and all the PRO battles I'm in have MU's enabled. I'm so accustomed to my new turrent rotation speed and hull manouverabillity, that fighting without it wouldn't feel natural.

 

So if I would be choosing Savanna, which I rarely do, it doesn't have only 20% Rail protection :) But I would however, nearly always choose Rail over Shaft protection...

short range?..well,it isn't for maps like berlin or dusseldorf,but it can work just fine medium,even longer maps..trust me  ;)

I didnt mean that short range but still you know what I mean.

dictator/smoky/prodigi/druggs ---> hating railguns on desert map :D

Ok u r totally describing the future me.. :mellow:

in last rebalance, the range was made significantly higher.. they didn't advertise it in vlog or anywhere, but this change puts smoky back to its old place, only the crit damage is reduced.

Well obviously at Generalissimo Zeus is more common. But the lower M3 ranks Needle would be more common because of the tons of Light Kits. Am I right?

[ALEKSEJ0077 150]

Yea

[Chameleos 157]

but nobody considers smoky as a menace so they're weak anyways :3

[ALEKSEJ0077 150]

Its not weak but it slips their minds when they have all the other paints like Zeus, Picasso , etc ;

[Chameleos 157]

zeus is heavily smoky resistant <.<

and no,smoky is not weak but 90% of the people think it's rubbish

smoky is,in my opinion strongest than ever,and I use smoky since I was rank of general ;)

hell,if you meet me in desert with that combo,I promise,you have full immunity :D from my smoky :D

lucky for you :P that my rail skills are (in scale 1-10) somewhere between 0.3 to 1.2 :D :D :D so you don't need to bother with rail protection colours if I will be only rail user on map in team opposing you :D
