Tanki Online Turrets - Smokey
Smoky is the very first turret you will see when playing Tanki Online as this is the turret you are provided with at the start of your career. It is not unusual for new players to see other turrets that look more appealing and swiftly move on to use something different, perhaps because Smoky looks and sounds quite boring in comparison, and is often seen as less powerful.
There are however some players who stick with Smoky and build it up in their garage to make it a very formidable bit of kit. It still sounds boring to me with it's distinctive boom, boom, boom as it fires away but I do appreciates it's power an appeal to those who stick with it. I find Smoky a nightmare to play against on larger maps as a lot of the time you just have no idea where they are, and this does not happen when under attack by most other tanks.

Tactics and tips when using Smoky
- Smoky is best used as a mid to long range weapon so if you can find a raised section of battlefield, so much the better. Players often have no idea where you are, even after being hit a number of times by your shells.
- Use micro upgrades to increase reload time. The quicker you can fire rounds, the more kills and XP you will achieve.
- As a defensive weapon, use one of the heavier hulls such as Titan or Mammoth.
