A new battle format: Thunder-Wasp

[Loackie 269]

What an interesting format you may ask. I think this should be a new tournament format due to the new turret hitboxes release.

 

Pros of Wasp-Thunder battles:

 

+ The recoil of Thunder is greater than Railgun, therefore more skill is required while driving and shooting, or you will get flipped by a shot while you are exposed.

 

+ The knockback of Thunder is not so great as to flip an enemy tank easily by a shot from the side. Unless I have been misinformed, you can be spawncamped like this with Rail.

 

+ This type of battle (i think) would encourage more strategy on player placement as Thunder's splash damage will punish that.

 

+ Thunder's splash damage encourages more firing skill; its decreased range means driving and shooting is going to be more common, and the splash damage is a double-edged sword. It can either hit multiple tanks, but you can also destroy yourself in the process.

 

Cons of Wasp-Thunder battles:

 

- Thunder has a quicker reload time, allowing more room for error

 

- Thunder has splash damage, making double kills require less skill.

 

 

Thank you for reading this, I hope Thunder-Wasp becomes popular.

If only Self-destruct penalty was gone, Thunder/Wasp would be my main combination.

Especially since I have access to Emerald Paint now.

I've been using Thunder/Wasp since day 2 of Tanki so I have no objections

I agree.  In my upcoming guide to Thunder( I am still writing it) I will be exploring how to best deal with your splash damage up close.

[Loackie 269]

Usually I shoot walls at such an angle where it is minimized, but in that battle i didn't care and infact i SD'd at the last second to NOT have a ratio.

IDK If we should have Thunder-Hornet, it seems too stable to have the recoil be a disadvantage.

[Thekillerpenguin 1,731]

I think Thunder-Wasp only would be a bit better.

Why not both? Just like XP/BP is now, we can have XR, BR, and XR/BR battles.

Uhm, Thunder has the the third longest effective range in the game. Thunder has a long reload COMPARED to OTHER turrets, but is fairly quick in general (approx. 2.5 seconds). Thunder also has very high damage. Infact, in Update 207 it was considered too strong and was nerfed slightly. Your logic is flawed...
