Changes: Smoky

Revision as of 21:52, 22 January 2015

Smoky is the base weapon of Tanki Online.

Smoky is the weapon that every single player starts with. Everyone who has played Tanki Online has used it one way or another. It is unlocked at the rank of Recruit (the first rank). Smoky has been made very strong at M2 and M3 after the rebalance. However, it is very underestimated since you start with it at a low rank thus making Smoky a "noob turret" although it's a great weapon.

Upgrades

Unlike other weapons and tanks, the M1 upgrade is a very large upgrade (causing it to do as much damage as a M0 thunder, and even doing more damage than it if you land a critical strike! The M1 Smoky also reloads faster than the M0 thunder).The M2 upgrade, (nearly doubling the damage per minute) if done at a lower rank, is a useful one and the M3 upgrade is slightly better. If the player likes the Smoky and wishes to upgrade it, M2 and M3 upgrades should be done as soon as possible for best effect. Using M1 Smoky as a First Sergeant rank is one of your best bets for medium to large maps and flag battles. Purchasing the upgrades early is important.

When does Smoky become outdated?

Never really, if you keep upgrading it. Many Generallisimos use Smoky M3 or even M2 and are very happy with it. Smoky's critical shot gives players a big advantage, especially with the M2 upgrades where the critical hits can almost take out an M2 Hornet.

Similar Turrets Compared to Smoky

Thunder is the Tier Two version of Smoky. It is slightly different in that it does have limited range, it has splash damage, it does far more damage per shot, and it has slower reload of shots. However, the concept of the weapon is the same and there is no difference. Thunder can't unlease critical damage which is how it's a bit weaker, but the damage causes the thunder to be better.

Smoky is one of 2 weapons that has had an XT version to come out and one of 3 XT things to come out (Railgun XT, Hornet XT, Smoky XT). Smoky XT was a test weapon for one week, that had the reload of M3 Smoky and the damage of M3 Thunder. It was extremely strong but only lasted in the garages of those users with it for a week.

The Upgrades

Smoky M1

When you upgrade Smoky to M1 you will find it to be more active than before. It will shoot faster which is probably the main point of this upgrade. Not to forget that it can inflict more damage as well. It is unlocked at rank First Sergeant. It costs 11,000. It does about the same damage as Thunder M0 but reloads a lot faster.

Smoky M2

This second upgrade really pumps up the gun. You will be able to notice how much better it can turn, shoot and deal damage. It also gets a little ramp on it which easily lets you know that it's upgraded and ready to destroy. You can buy it at Rank Colonel for 114,800.

Smoky M3

The third upgrade is the maximum dry power limit of this gun. It is very fast and shoots quickly so that you are able to quickly steal flags and escape. It is so good that it sometimes becomes irritating to fight against this gun. Provided that you have a weak hull. You can identify this gun from kilometers away simply by its smooth design. It doesn't have too much recoil so it's rated medium in parkour. It is unlocked at Marshal rank and costs 268,600

The Range is not affected throughout the upgrades but the shot colour, power and detail changes slightly Notice that the M1 and M2 are almost indifferent from one another.

Smoky XT

Smoky XT was a temporary addition in Tanki Online which was available for a week. It was much better than the usual Smoky gun.

Set at 3,950 crystals and available at Warrant Officer 1, this gun didn't come cheap. It was still a legend and a great gun.
