I gave another go to the new Shaft. It is rubbish, seriously. The new feature doesn't affect too much the game at short and medium range, but this is obviously the kind of situation that a Shaft player is trying not to be involved in. Sniping is no longer possible at all. Whenever I find a suitable spot and start scanning the possible target area, I immediately have 2 or 3 players ganging on me and taking me out. Being very very careful I can do 2 kills from a spot, but that's the maximum. I was quite good at predicting opponents movements path, to aim the shaft to the point where the target is going to be in 2 or 3 seconds, to have it fully charged when it enters the bore-sight. I caught a good number of my kills with this technique. This is utterly gone now since the opponent just sees the laser and stops. It is no longer possible to look if an opponent is hiding among bushes since it requires the laser to be fully active while the sight becomes clear. Once again, other players shoot at you immediately. I am going to wait a couple of weeks to see if the feature goes away or it is reduce to something more manageable, If this is not going to happen, I do not think I will play anymore and I will ask for crystal refund. Regards.

I am really really disappointed by the choice of making the shaft an easy spot. All the tactics that I developed are now utterly useless. Playing with the shaft put yourself in the position of a tank hunter rather than playing like an MBT, a totally different mindset. While many players, I imagine the youngest, play the battle like a brawl, closing the range way above it would be feasible in a reasonable fight, I prefer the more sophisticated approach. I actually enjoying being smarter than being bolder. Now I am penalized for this. I see a lot of complaints for this and I totally second those. I think I will wait a few days just to see if the update is removed. If not I will just stop playing. Thanks
