That's the point Im making, even with a maxed out m2 I am unable to "deal wit it" because of the new cooldown restrictions

Bravo very intelligent comment well presented Elizabeth1122 (wish I had said it). I would give an example the other day whilst playing stadium I was my usual Mammoth shaft I found that I was being targeted by at least 3 other shafts plus anyone else who fancied a pot shot, without the ability to use more than one power up I was unable to defend against this strategy as everyone knows shaft is a one shot weapon and the mammoth is chronically slow so I couldn't exactly sprint into hard cover. No amount of skills can pull your butt out of a situation like that, only the ability to drug. I am reasonably sure that the opposing shafts etc were using power ups too so the "your a drugger, not me" crap is not valid. I would like to go on record that The only time I use drugs is when I'm facing a drugged opponent/opponent's.

I play shaft and don't like the fact that the cooldowns suit the faster more agile tanks which can pick up the dropped supplies and basically drug up to the gills, a very unfair system. I will still play the odd game when I have nothing better to do but I wont be investing in it as I used to, a real shame.

If I have purchased power ups (drugs) I should be able to use them whenever and however I please. This new cooldown system does not work I wont be purchasing any more crystals to procure items that are of no use to me. Nonsense of the highest order if the bleeding hearts brigade are bleating for a level playing field then get rid of the power ups completely. Its been my experience that the biggest complainants are bigger "druggers" than the people they accuse. In short if your going to allow power ups then allow them or take them away completely. All these wingers banging on about skills wise up its a game its supposed to be for fun which it certainly aint now cheers tanki techs for ruining the game :(
