valid Missing shot colors effects for Smoky and Thunder

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

Gauss was the recent turret to receive a purple shot effect.

I have noticed that Smoky and Thunder were missing shot effects for a long time, since shot effect colors were introduced to Tanki Online. Please can you consider on adding shot effects for Smoky and Thunder. Please also make more shot colors effects available in containers for the Gauss turret as well.

Valid

It does look kind of odd for only two turrets not to have shot effects. Developers are certainly aware of this and are likely planning to add Smoky and Thunder shot effects at a later date.

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

Yeah, that's true that its kind of odd to not see Smoky and Thunder not have any shot effect colors. Shot colors for Smoky and Thunder must be added when the new shooting mechanics are created for Smoky. Thunder already has the new shot mechanics, so I don't understand why Thunder not having color shot effects. For Smoky, shot color effects would need to come when the turret has a new shooting mechanic applied with new Prime and Ultra skins bundled in a new update.

Add the blue lightning shot for Thunder that was from TX. 

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

Yeah, a blue shot effect for Thunder would be a good choice, but for the best in color choices, all the colors must be added as shot effects, including white and black colors.

Shot effects should be for shots you could see coming.

Smoky and Shaft are insta-hit. Sure, Shaft has colors for impact, but I hope Smoky never qualifies as a turret that needs color for its shot.

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

You are wrong because Smoky does need to qualify for shot colors. At least one shot color would be required for Smoky. The same thing for Thunder. Thunder needs at least one shot color, or more.

Smoky and Thunder are one of the most used turrets in TO. But its sad to notice that there is no shot effects for both these turrets !

I know that having shot effects for moky and thunder does not stand out so much. But any ways its freely given from containers so whats the matter.

If you guys do not have much idea about what shot effcts to have : Its known that the thunder and smoky shells burst with orangish colour ... so why not have a differant colour for it.

They can be Black , Red and Pink or whatever you have now.

So it can be made more intresting to play and it will change the game in good ways.

Also small traces of trail can also be left in that colour. 

Please hear this out since a lot of players use smoky and thunder a lot and seeing other turrets with effects makes us a little jelous ... pls put this into consideation !

Thankyou.

I know. That's not fair because Smoky and Thunder needs to have shot effect colors. Smoky and Thunder needs the addition of a visual effect that causes a small cloud effect when firing. This small outburst of smoke is the thing that would require the shot color effect, as well as the bullet being fired from those turrets.

[yellowghetto 3,206]

I actually kinda don't want to see shot colors for these two colors. Striker's a rocket launcher which could have color, Magnum is like a Mortar shell so it kinda makes sense with only some of the colors. However the ammo colors on impact for Smoky and Thunder? Doesn't anyone else imagine it looking really weird? Seeing like a red, blue, or violet Thunder cloud? Smoky and Thunder's explosion graphics look more circular compared to the others too.

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

I may look weird but I definitely want shot colors for Smoky and Thunder. These are the only two turrets at the moment that does not have any shot color effects. They must be added in like all other shot colors and skins for each of the turrets. Your opinion might be different than mine, but I don't care. I just want shot effects for Smoky and Thunder.

[yellowghetto 3,206]

Maybe they could add a stream color following the Thunder shells? I also wanted to add that Smoky colors would be cool if it changed the color of the static critical shot lol

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

Yes, that's what I mean. Steam color effects for Smoky and Thunder.

[thunderhunter123 741]

I had an idea of bringing back the shot effect for Thunder from some time ago.

The M3 shot looked great! It can be called Sparkles, or Golden.

Hope this one comes back first! I'm still waiting for the update.

I just wanted to put my idea on this post for a little more attention.

We need Shot Effects for all Turrets. Hope the picture helps more people look at this Idea/Suggestion.

@Marcus and @Maf

• Will the Thunder and Smoky Shot Effects be available in Containers, or will they only be available for real money?
• Are developers working on this update?

I wanted to know because these are the only turrets, still, without a Shot Effect.

 

I hope to get a Shot Effect for Thunder soon because it's my favorite turret! :)

We don't even know if they'll be added at all. I would assume they would go to containers, but given the recent trend with new items (especially cosmetics), they will probably be added as a bundle at first, and later added to ultra containers.

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

I do hope that this year, developers are going to add shot effects for Smoky and Thunder. I do not know why those two turrets has been left behind, not to receive any shot effect colors. I guess that to make suitable shot effect colors work properly for Smoky and Thunder, developers could add a smoke effect to both turrets so that each time players fires a shot, some smoke is left behind after the shot is being fired. The smoke itself would be released from inside the turret's barrel after the shot has been fired. Therefore, colored smoke effects for shots would look cool for those two turrets.

[Tanker-Arthur 2,971]

Make sure to make Thunder and Smoky's shot effects only available in Ultra Containers as a Legendary Drop guys. Remember this.

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

I hope so.

[thunderhunter123 741]

Just a theory:

I wonder if Thunder will have a somewhat new kind of shot effect when its HD Skin comes out! 

When Smoky HD came, its shot was changed to a projectile, and it looked different, and stuff.

This is why I'm guessing something similar can happen with Thunder.

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

Now that all default skins are being remade in HD versions, it would be the right point in time to make shot effect colors for Smoky and Thunder.

Thunder actually already got its "projectile" in 2019. Before 2019, it had the Insta-Hit effect that Smoky had prior to the Smoky Update.

And it actually got a high-definition skin with the projectile update............Thunder Ultra :(

I'm not sure if you have played in that time or you even knew about that. But I think the only different shot effect for Thunder was before the new (current) Graphics in 2012..

It was a really disgusting shot effect for me in that time, I liked the current. But the time crossed and my opinion changed and I now see this is way more better than the current..

Not gonna lie though, that shot effect would be cool for either Thunder or a brand new turret.

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

For the sake of a much better Thunder when the new HD comes out for this turret, I do hope that shot effect colors will be added to Thunder. In addition to Thunder's shot colors, we also need shot color effects for Smoky. Both Smoky and Thunder would be truly complete if they both receive shot color effects just as with all other turrets have.
