Railgun vs smoky

[kushfighter2 3]

i have been in a heated discussion with two friends. one has smoky m1 and other railgun m1.

 

although i have smoky m1 i would also like to know if it is worth upgrading railgun to m1.i am an all rounder, sometimes playing with mammoth and smoky while even with railgun and hornet or viking. 

what choice should i follow ? my railgun is discounted at 28 %

Wait for a sale (specifically 50%) for railgun.

 

If you buy Railgun, on a sale + your 28% off, you will have a 78% sale on the weapon. Meaning you will probably only need to pay like 9k

Railgun is a must-have for any serious tanker. It has high damage per shot, allowing it to cripple practically anything with one shot. You only need to get two or three shots in to deal out the damage of your own vehicle. Getting kills with a railgun is a lot more satisfying than any other turrets, because you can get 'epic shots' and also there is just something different about the feel of killing people in railguns. XP and XP-BP battles require railguns as well as most clan battles. It is also one of the best parkour turrets. It doesn't do very well on slow hulls like mammoth or titan. Railgun/Wasp or Railgun/Hornet are one of the funnest combinations, in my opinion. 

Railgun does great in practically any map. But it takes a lot of skill. 

Pros:

-High damage per shot

-Ability to damage multiple enemies at once

-shoots through allies

-Can flip enemies if you have a bit of skill.

Cons:

-very low damage per minute

-Low turret rotation

-can flip you over

-Doesn't do great on slow hulls

 

Smoky is a high damage, well rounded turret. It has exceptionally fast reload, and very high damage. It has higher damage per second than thunder, even without critical hits, and with the critical hits it can do a crazy amount of damage. Getting kills with smoky aren't very satisfying, because if you only shoot someone once, and they die, you know you did very little damage. It has great impact force per shot, allowing it to easily knock off opponents aim. 

Unfortunately, its damage decreases by a ton at long ranges. It will be destroyed in maps like stadium. It also can't damage multiple enemies at once. 

It does great on practically every hull, making it a great choice. It does good in most maps, but in some maps, like stadium, it will preform quite miserably.

Smoky M2 is probaby viewed as the best M2 turret, but it is close. 

With smoky, you can learn to be very accurate, since you fire so many shots. I find smoky very fun paired with wasp. 

Pros:

Very high damage

Very high impact force

Very good reload

Cons:

Bad damage at distances

Doesn't do great in every map

Its damage is good, but compared to ricochet not amazing.

 

What should you choose?

Both! However, if you can't go with both, get Railgun. This is a must have turret for any tanker, and it will not disappoint. If you somehow end up with extra crystals, you can get smoky as well. 

 

Next time post this in What to buy? Which is better?, a thread fit perfectly for this question. Moderators may close this thread.
