Shaft can be great weapon combined with M1 (or higher) mammoth. you can one shot hornets in full charge. If your team has less players and enemy team keeps coming in your base. Take cover, charge up at the top and as soon as you see a enemy, fire! Viking M0 can be killed in a full charged shot and one normal shot. Pretty great combination to use at map Highland. as the snipers are really annoying, enemies will be mostly popping out in front of your shaft, so always keep your shaft charged as much as you can (take cover after shot, as it take a while to reload)

more advanced players? fighting equal to noobs? with that little rank? Seems like some sort of joke.

Who says shaft is a dumb weapon? In my opinion its pretty nice. I agree that railgun at some point (or most of the points) is good at sniping. But on the maps like Stadium, where enemies looks like some sort broken wall. the shaft can be useful due to the scope. its hard to aim for the beginners with railgun to aim at extremely large maps where enemies looks so small. Mammoth + shaft, pretty great combination for highland as the snipers on the highlands really annoys so you can find a good spot and snipe. I do that always on highland, i charge at one place where enemies mostly come and then i shoot at enemy. Boom! gotcha!

I really loved the rail gun on my other account (ExtremeKiller21), what i would do is, i would charge right as i was about to get out of cover. Rather than just get out of cover, wait for the perfect shot, charge and shoot. That would give me damage from the other guy also. After the re-balance my M1 Mammoth just get finished in 3-4 shots by railguns. You should get the upgrades for railgun. I don't think so its that hard to use. Its like im using a smoky, press spacebar, shoot and you are done.

Arrow keys, because i can shoot, turn my turret and use drugs at the same time, though if somebody is left handed he can use the WASD, <, > and ? to turn and center his turret

Thanks for the solutions. But it got solved automatically. Anyway i'm First sergeant now :)

Today I got a new rank-Master sergeant. After a while, I needed to reboot my computer to finish some sort of installation, When I launched this game again, I found that i had 2k less XP and i was still at rank Staff Sergeant. I still got the hull and guns I had. But I lost my rank. Solutions?
