its good Tanki is making these changes. Now I will quit wasting time with playing so much of this game. The long wait times between matches lets me realize what else i can be doing. Not being able to choose the map helps me to end up with a turret I would not pick for that map. It makes each match a little less fun. Thank you Tanki for being a responsible entertainer and helping end my addiction to this game. I am still going through withdrawals, but with your help, I shall be free soon.

How about a big sale on other Guns to replace the worthless Shaft, so crybabies like me will stay in the game. Or is the plan just to make us move to other guns that will then become worthless, etc. :tank: :mellow: :angry: B) :unsure: :angry:

Its unfortunate this decision to alter the nature of this turret. It was sold as a hid and shoot, sniper gun. I invested my hard earned chrystals and now it is verually usless. I have tried it but am getting out shot with railguns and thunder. Which would have been normal if i was setting in the open. Now there is no hiding. One can point the laser to the ground but this makes it hard to aim at moving targets. When the gun initializes, goes into sniper mode it is pointing straight out so there is moment when the laser is flashing across the map. My other gun is the ricochet which is fun and everything but sometimes it is better to use the long range. I know i shouldn't be playing so much tanki, maybe this will help me move onto more productive pursuits. :wacko:

This takes away the only advatage of this gun. It takes so long to aim and then reload that it, if you do not completely distroy the opponent they can travel to where you are and blast you. Tne railgun seems the most unfair in that even though it takes a while to reload it does not need to be aimed, just pointed in the general direction. Elevation is rarely an issue. I have exploaded when the beam totally misses the tank. I probably will quit using the Shaft it seems pointless now.
