Yo, this section is for actual Game Guides…
@Eox can we get a migration?

(Bit of a noob, but some of these may apply)
For Thunder, do your best to pay attention to. Unlike Rhino, he’s responsibility ranges more than being a frontline assault/tank. While a Rhino can just lay his giant arse on Aura, and start mowing down scrubs, a Thunder almost always needs to flank the enemies to be effective.

Find a good time to rush (ideally when they have a long timer or respawn), have your friends push from the front, attracting attention, then flash the fools and shred everyone with your PKM (Patriotic Kievan Machinegun).

Moving to merc discussions.

use Timik or Stark

Like @Szakalot said, don’t use the MK46. It sucks (at least compared to his other guns)

Don’t blind yourself: look away after throwing a flashbang, or bounce them behind corners. Spam the concussion grenades on cooldown, it is short anyway.

Good positioning is important, because you are not as fast as a light merc - if you get caught alone, you can’t run away, you either blind and kill the enemies, or die.

He is Russian so you just need to rush B no stop and you will topscore

If you want to improve at playing as Russians there’s only one way:

Read the Communist Manifesto in Cryllic.

I don’t need to improve at playing with Russians.
I’m Russian myself so I can communicate with them and I can carry them if you just drop me a Scout

  1. Get yourself the augment for 10% more explosion radius and then bang them all.
  2. You would also have to be commited in being Thunder so I suggest to use your chat to show your love to all of the medics in the lobby (make sure you balance the love between all of them or you fail).

By following the two steps above, you should be able to become a viable Thunder to your team.

That’s the MA95, S41, and T72.
