With Thunder coming out (sooner than expected actually), should I buy Nader or buy Thunder?
Question kinda off topic: Will Thunder’s flashbang (I’m just gonna call it that to save finger strength) be able to disable an airstrike marker before it can detonate?
Buy Nader or Thunder?

Airstrike marker - yesterday on stream they weren’t sure, same with Phantom’s cloak.
If you’ve played Fragger then you know what to expect form Thunder in terms of movement and survivability. The only unknowns are his LMG and the usability of the flashbang.
For funsies in pubs I’d say Nader is better because she is faster and more spammy.

Even though there’s the new merc hype, I’d recommend you Nader.
Besides Thunder being on free rotation soon so you would get a chance to try him out BEFORE buying him, Nader is just so versatile.
She has decent health/speed and great damage capabilities, since her five nades keep replenishing fairly fast.
You can damage objectives pretty damn well(never forget your martyrdom when your Skyhammer is on cooldown, it does a lot of damage to EVs) or destroy the barricades on Bridge.
Also she’s very good in area denial, imagine you’re a cowboy and you’re trying to move all the cattle with your grenades/martyrdom 
And learning the arc and bounce of the grenade launcher is one of my favorite things in DirtyBomb. 
Recommended loadouts: SM41,CR81,CR83

It’ll be 2 weeks before thunder comes out. Nader is good but not necessarily very fun. I have a feeling she’ll be on next rotation since she hasn’t been in a rotation for a while.
No reason not to try out the newest merc.

Depends on how hyped he was for thunder I think. Get him now or wait 2 weeks.

Get Nader now, wait for Thunder to be on rotations. You’ll have enough credits to buy him by then.

Well Nader is definitely a more spammy character and keep up pressure with her quickly recharging grenade launcher. Thunder on the other hand cleans house and can mess up deployables (say goodbye to the marriage between Aura and Rhino).
