Do you prefer the Thunder of the Railgun?

[Guitarmus4c 0]

I was wondering as to whether I should stick with my railgun and upgrade it or if I should save my money for the Thunder?

Both have their pros and cons.

 

The railgun: A very powerful weapon, with amazing accuracy and distance. However the reloading time and turret rotation is a disabling inferiority.

 

The Thunder: A fine gun, equipped with considerable yet inferior damage then that of the railgun while at the same time having a much faster reloading time. (Which is what I find appealing)

 

What are your opinions/suggestions? :-)

Thunder. The most universal weapon.

The railgun is for professional snipers .. only ..

if you just For a single shot very powerful .. the railgun is The best option for you

and there is some Cases in the game , like :

That there was someone steal our flag and escape with all speed

In this case, nothing will help you ..

 

more then that [ railgun ] ( especially if you have Double power )

in addition to that, [ railgun ] is much cheaper than thunder

And finally , That if you fired one near you .. you will take a littel Damage

[ railgun ] is the best for [ sniper’s ]..

I forgot to say, when you are away from the target .. [ thunder ] won’t give the damage as much as the [ railgun ] will give you

Between those two, thunder obviously. Imho there's no such thing as an universal weapon. There are only weapons and maps. Each map has it's own must-have weapon. Try to imagine an isida or freeze on a map like Madness. Thunder in a map like Highland won't get you anywhere unless you are camping. Freeze and rik rule that map. Can you picture a thunder in a map like Island? Freeze rule that map and maybe rik with Python. Of course, I can think of thunder as being the most universal weapon meaning that you can go in any map with it without to much thoughts, but that won't always win you the battle. As for railgun, well... there was a time when I enjoyed playing with it. But that was long ago )..now it belongs in those everlasting dik+rail+no paint battles, and sometimes it's fun). Still, it's only a tier 1 weapon and the game has evolved.

 

Please note that I'm talking about battles for high rank players and donors here. I don't know how the things are for mid-range ranks and entry-level ranks.

[king_beast88 19]

plz don't double post edit them in the future.

 

and this is the most important consideration in my opinion.

when the battle momentum swings are you capable enough with railgun to contribute to not justify upgrading to thunder? rail is the weapon for long range maps no doubt at m-3, but it is horrfic at flagging and close range attacks. im not saying it can't be done but number always factor in thier. which is where thunder has advantages, reload speed very, good damage, turn ratio and splash damage, it can be used very well as sniper to just the range cripples it slighty. so unless you play only large maps and dont plan on anything more than 1 on 1 tank fights up close buy thunder.

I always win on the highland with thunder. 50/50 attacking and camping.

:) I know what you mean. But trust me, in a Highland full of marshals with freeze and rik a thunder is a small mouse in a cage full of cats )... and about camping, there are 2 known camping sites in that map, the rest of them don't count here. Problem is, that when the madness starts, you won't get the chance to get there and if you do, you won't last for long. :)

hehe me too :D

The Railgun to me is much better than Thunder. A am type of an offensive combat player and Thunder is not my style of play. Have upgraded Thunder to M3, but not playing with it at all, more a month now. IMO and experience Thunder is good at mid-range combat only and is an abysmal failure at close and long range combat. Eagerly expect transition to Tanki 2.0 to get rid of of this gun converted in crystals.

I was a rail player in the past (a year or so :) ). I played with m3 thunder for many months on 2 chassis. The same with rail. I can say without any doubt that thunder is much better than rail in any situation, even at close range. No offence but I also think that you might be wrong on this one but in the end, as you said, it's just a matter of taste and style of play for each of us. )

totally biased. you didn't say anything about railgun's bad reload, terrible turn speed, or inferior damage per minute. You only said railgun's strengths and thunders weakness.

Rail is top gun on high distance, in map like Berlin and Serpuhov it could to beat thunder. But mostly I agree - thunder m3 is more effective(and cost reflect it)

THUNDER BECASUE IT LOADS MUCH FASTER AND TAKES MORE DAMAGE. WELL DEPENDS IF YOU GET IT UPGRADED

RAILGUN IS POWERFULL WHEN ITS UPGRADED TO THE TOP BECASUE YOU CAN GET KILLS FROM SEVERAAL PEOPLE

BUT OVERALL, I THINK THUNDER

ANYWAY HOW DO YOU BECOME A ADMINISTARTOR

IT LOOKS COOL

:wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: sorry about the caps i never recognise it was on

[Strike32 0]

The Thunder It Has A High Damage And Its Cool Down Is More Fast Than The Cool Down Of Railgun

 

But The Railgun Is Great For Long Range In Madness And You Can Kill With It In The Space Madness

 

 

So For Me Its Both Great

[hogree 4,179]

thunder. period.

[eessydo 17]

If long range sniping is your game, rail gun. Otherwise anything inside of 120 meters, Thunder.

[Strike32 0]

For Me Its The Railgun Because If Its Upgrade You Can Double Kill Them

[r_ELain_3S0 17]

In a Fight between thunder and railgun the first wins 90%. When the loading railgun gets out the thunder can shot instantly and make him miss at least, in close-mid range the rail doesnt stand a chance against thunder. Obviusly, if you have hornet m0 and thunder m3, rail will pwn you.

 

A skilled railgun-ist can kill an average thunder-ist, but a skilled thunder-ist kills a railgun-ist ALWAYS.

 

I have both railgun m3 and thunder m3

[skitee 555]

Comparing the two weapons is a misjudged comparison. thunder is a tier two, rail is a tier 1.5 (or tier one, depending on your opinion). And, more importantly, Thunder costs about 5 times more..... so although thunder is stronger, it is not a balanced comparison.... in terms of V4M (value for money), rail is better, but is harder to use (needs more skill)..... Thunder is waaay stronger overall though.

[r_XxXLOL0 1]

i prefer Thunder cause it loads faster and does a good amount of dmg.
