Is Thunder really that bad at higher ranks

NOTE: I was still a newb when I made this post

So M0 is pretty good, M1 is OP, but M2 and M3 are weak, in my opinion. Also, I hear a lot that Thunder is weak at high ranks and weapons like Smoky and Twins are better in drug wars. But then, I also heard that when MU's come (If they ever will) the firing rate can be increased by a lot and then Thunder will become good again...

IDK all about this, but I thought Thunder M2 was pretty good. At M3, though, the stats aren't great. Probably a good early M3 to get, still.

Thunder will not become good again. MU are just a crystal drain, because if u upgrade a hull 3/4 and a turret 3/4, they are still same as before, because the ratio is equivalent. Thunder sucks in drugwars because of the high self damage, and there are a lot of Rustles and Emeralds at my rank. M3 Thunder is horrible, just saying, only good until three stars rank.

In and of itself thunder is actually very good at all ranks, but because of this and (I think) its reputation pre-rebalance, many people at high ranks bought paints with high protection against thunder, decreasing its effectiveness.

[ExtremeKiller26 443]

Thunder is great, I have faced it a lot of times. To all those who face emerald, man I don't think it is really that of problem. P.S. as others say, there are more savanna and needle users now. 

Thunder m3 stats are bad? You are just looking at damage, the reload speed, it's great.

MU is crystal drain, true, but it doesn't fail everytime, even one single successful upgrade means a lot.

3/4 MUed gun and 3/4 MUed hull, how is that equal to the one before MUed? What will be the chances that he enemy you are facing has also upgraded? Maybe he hasn't, you can kill him easy.

 

 

Oh, and one last thing:

It isn't the gun/hull/paint that is bad, it's the driver or the person driving/using that tank. It's just you.

Emerald and Rustle.. As popular as they are, they don't do as much as you may think.

[r_Firingsniper0 1,215]

You noobs who don't know how to play thunders

 

 

 

 

Thunder is for NS battles at M3. 

 

Use the splash damage.

 

It's awesome at clan wars, without paints.

 

Thunder is a must have in the garage.

 

Thunder is for kill stealing.

 

Practice before you complain everyone. 

[VectorSierra 199]

Do NOT waste your crystals on MU's,with most players have thunder protection,it will take MORE then 10 shots! (Depends on range) Like Mr.Sniper says,it's quite good kill stealing.

 

 

 

Thunder is for NS battles at M3. (Not much NS battles i seen at high ranks)

 

Use the splash damage. (Yes but problem is,the protection! Protection everywhere! Splash damage is pretty useless because again....protection paints )

 

It's awesome at clan wars, without paints. (Agreed)

 

Thunder is a must have in the garage. (Don NOT agree.My opinion of course)  

 

Thunder is for kill stealing. (Yes,but not fully agree with that)

How do you know how much high ranks NS are there? <.< I hate it when low rankers go on test server, see different from main server, and think that's what happening at higher ranks.

High rank account? Tell me what is the name of it and what is the rank of it then.

Sorry top secret but it's around the rank brigadier and marshal  :ph34r: And there's another reason why i know.....i've been here seen rebalance so i know what to expect to happen.And another reason.....different servers.

Thunder M3 is awesome.  I use it a lot and am almost always among the highest scoring players in a battle and with Thunder I almost always get the highest d/l.  I also have the other higher powered weapons u mention in smoky m2 and twins m2 and thunder m3 stacks up very well vs those.  I usually change what gun I use a lot so I don't get bored, but sometimes I break out the thunder and get like 10 kills before dying once.  

 

Thunder M3 is epic to drug with too.  Imagine killing every tank hunter m2 and smaller with one shot, and every tank except mammoth with two shots.  I especially like when there is a patch of hornet m2s and I kill three of them with one shot when drugging... try doing that with any other weapon. 

 

I hope people keep saying thunder is bad, that will mean less paints against it.. and the less of those paints around the even stronger thunder will get.

Freeze also has splash damage, just line em' up. (facepalm) don't get thunder m3 it sucks, it's the worst gun in the game, yes, it's worse than shaft. Why? Because if someone rams a shaft, it can't kill itself!! I use firebird and smoky way more than thunder m3, and judging by my calculations, I should have enough by Marshall to get m3 smoky.

Think about it, say a gun does 25 dmg per shot. A hull has 100 HP. 3/4 of 25 is around 19, and 3/4 of 100 is 75. 25+19=34, and 100+75 is 175. Though the damage for the gun increased, the hull's HP increased in the same ratio, therefore, Thunder would be no different.

Hahah, well I hope to see you on the battlefield one day then.  I'm sure you'll be in awe of my D/L while using Thunder.

LOL. I have m3 thunder too bro, much longer than you have had it.

Don't forget that paints can be upgraded too. But anti-thunder paints are starting to lose popularity now, and thunder is very good against people with out paint.

And your point?  Your saying you suck with it, I'm saying I own with it....  Like I said, if you suck with it as you said, then I guess you'll be in aw when you see me at the top of scorers with a 5+ D/L and 100 kills.

I never said I suck, I just mean it's very hard to be good with it when all of the other guns are so much better. Your just really cocky, I bet half the stuff you said is bs. I was just like you when I got thunder m3, cocky, I thought the gun was awesome, and It was!!!! For like 1 week, then I got hit by something, reality.
