I bet you are going to find this rather amusing- I happen to agree with you....to a point anyway. I will absolutely agree that what seems like a vast majority of the Shaft players do is simply sit and shoot as you describe. I have done this on many occasions until it got very boring. I even had another account at one time to just to see how high I could get my K/D with this combo and not spend a dime (not a record by any stretch, a little over 8.0 before I again got bored). Now I like to move around and whack tanks from locations they least suspect to see a shaft.What do I REALLY love to do? I love to go hunting. Put me in a map where you've got a camping shaft or two or even better- a Vulcan with an Isida up his butt and I'm on 'em. And yes, I will on occasion take a position and sit to keep a road/ridge clear for flag runners (ooooo, wait a minute....is that teamwork maybe??). Sarcasm aside, just because I'm not the one with the flag does not mean I do not contribute to my team. Any idea how many times a Shaft may have eliminated the guy chasing you with the flag? Nope, you have no idea 'cause you are running for home. Ever ended up on your side as an Isida or Firebird, cannot right yourself and mysteriously you pop back upright? Yeah, that was me- I whacked you from the other side or the map to flip you back up. Stuck in a hole- yeah that was probably me again in my big goofy barge of a tank that pushed you out. Ever grabbed a flag with 3 opponents at the base and you managed to escape and not even got hit once? Oops, my bad for jumping behind you to take the hits while you run........ Oh yeah, wait a second- I don't even get experience points for all of this while you guys are busy running the flags and racking up the points and crystals.....hmmmm. Not a team player huh? I do take exception to broad all encompassing statements that Shafts are lazy Noobs. I only hope that maybe those making these accusations will take a moment to see that there may be some benefit from those that choose to run this equipment. After all, it's not the equipment that's sitting- it's the tanker. I have yet to hear anyone on my team complain that I killed too many of the opponents, it's always the killed ones that complain. Am I a Pro? Hardly and it is JUST a game. Does any of this matter in real life. Nope. I'm gonna keep doing what I do. If you do find someone just sitting how about instead of whining or insulting you do something about it or let me know and I'll take care of it......that's what this lazy, always sitting, non-team player, good for nothing, only wants easy kills, $%#-ing Noob Shaft does for fun!

NEVER win a game with Shafts? Never is a pretty strong word. I run a Mammoth/Shaft, only M1 w/24mu and have spanked quite a few butts that got whiny about me constantly killing them in a battle and dared me to 1v1 them. No problem if you know how to play it. If you are under the assumption that a Mammoth can't (won't) move and will only camp you are sorrily mistaken. Is it as fast as others, well of course not. You can't camp in a 1v1 you must keep moving to setup for the next kill. Also, setup the battle with no drugs. Obviously your opponent will run around and pick them all up before you can get to the first one. Now it's a tank/Tanker/skills match and NOT a drugfest. Next argument coming is if you are using Firebird or any other close up weapon, I'll shoot you from across the map before you can get close enough to inflict any damage. Yes, you are correct. That's what my tank does best and you dared to 1v1 me so quite whining about it. If you are any good you'll figure out how to get up close and now it's a skills battle. In an up close tank on tank war dance using arcade mode I'm just like any other turret requiring multi-shots to take you out, but I can take more damage with the trade off that I'm much slower than you. I actually had one guy change his equipment 5x in a 1v1 trying to win w/o any luck. Can I be beat, well of course. I am not here to brag about how fantastic I am, only trying to prove you should give Shaft a little more credit that it normally gets. When you see a Shafter with a ridiculous kill count in a battle, be happy he's on your side. That large number is the number of flag stealing/YOUR death opportunities that were eliminated. Saying you'll NEVER win a battle with Shaft is not accurate. Don't believe me? Find me online sometime and we'll dance in Rio........ ;-)

Hey Tanki Gods- There have been several posts about glitches with Shaft only dealing arcade damage when fully scoped in. This is still happening, several times to me today alone, and no word from anyone that the problem has been noted and being addressed. BTW- not pleased at all with the new limit of incline for this turret either. For instance, one cannot come anywhere close to hitting the roof tops in Rio unless you are elevated (like on the ridge). Why the change? Were there some complaints that Shaft can shoot too high? Opponents can shoot down from the roof at me but I can no longer return fire unless I climb halfway up a wall. In this particular map, we just lost the whole beach area as you are a sitting duck that cannot fire back. Reduced inclination and now shots that only score arcade damage too?? Please fix these, PLEASE!
