I agree if this in any other turret, but for Shaft noope. It's waay more easier with mouse controls Especially for a hard enemies, it's something hard with keyboard but I don't think there are any one who couldn't point at a thing in the screen with the mouse. If you play with Railgun or Ricochet or any other turret it's true that aiming with mouse is a horrible bad, but with the Shaft it's too slow in the aiming and you need a precise aim so it's too easy.. This is an old video for me..

I haven't played with Shaft for a very long while, last time I have tested it just in a few minutes with Mouse in HTML5. And I confidently say it's way too OP with Mouse controls, you just have to move your mouse to the enemy and yeaaah you killed him, stupid frustration easiness??

As always, approximately no one from the forum. I think because most of players haven't participated, I myself haven't even entered the topic or the Question video about the THE GAME. not a complaint

When I'm a really close to give someone who criticize the Hopper a Like, then I notice that he just only criticize it in catching the golds No like

Too late but when I re-read the topic I saw some misunderstoods here and I want to clear it something... First At_Shin When I quoted you here it was with a wrong I was meaning to quote someone else probably FrozenRailgun.. and it's obvious that my points were too far from your reply I know it's too late but the clarification have to be written to not make any doubts or misunderstoods

I don't think Striker was to be considered as this uselessness and underpowering if Gauss wasn't exist, because it's better than Striker in every side. Ok guys as the topic was old and I wasn't really have a wide angle of knowing the game from many sides, there are some points I haven't said in the topic that puts Striker at the mange compared to Gauss.. Ok I haven't said Gauss have 20m radius, and the 90% of damage remain in 12m? And Gauss have Aim-recovery of 2 seconds compared to Striker 1s. And I have also some disadvantage for Striker that happens a lot, that Striker shells are pretty slow, and many times you die before your last shot hitting the enemy, and that make it to hit the enemy without DD that you use. Happens a lot.. But if Gauss (the direct peer of Striker) wasn't exist, I think Striker is one of the most useful turrets. It has a damage near Thunder with no distance restrictions, and it can shoot salvo if you had it in a battle. But now as the Gauss is better than Striker in every side, Striker is pretty useless nowadays. To be honest, I don't think if Gauss had laser that will change the equation a lot. As it only need for a 1.7s time of aiming and the hit will hit you instantly, and if the Gauss user was lagging, it will give him a neat advantage to hit you even if you went behind a build (that's also a new advantage for Gauss compared to pathetic Striker) as even if the Striker user was a lagger, the rockets will hit the building. To be honest I completely agree with you, though the comparison is between Mk8 Striker/Gauss. But it worth to mention that 3.5s for Striker in lower modifications is a way too high, and make it more useless.. A 3.5s with laser and a slow rockets, the player who couldn't run from it is a purely stupid.

Isida was in the past able to heal/attack 2 allies/enemies at the same time, and was able to restore health while attacking others. And it wasn't OP I don't know why developers seeing the healing while attacking is OP and couldn't be balanced, while they're in contradict of this having Gauss that's disgustingly OP either Stock or EMP.

True but for sure I want to play with my highest GS, isn't it better to play with my best

It's true, it's like if I suggest to prevent Hopper from CTF ? I can complain about the Hopper because I see it's OP but it's irrelevant and meaningless to suggest to prevent it from some gamemodes, yes I complain to remove it and this is my opinion.. But it's wrong to suggest to prevent it from playing in some modes or changing its mechanics in some modes. A big difference between the two

Respawning multiple times respectively death after death in the enemy island in Archipelago map ----- > The problem of who doesn't leave the battle from first seconds of seeing the map

It's true that it ruined the gold boxes in the events.. But the biggest problem of Hopper is that it ruined CTF/Rugby/Assault completely

I agree, my highest GS combo is Hornet + Ricochet. But I play in Juggernaut with Viking + Railgun because it's basically the most OP combo in Juggernaut, but the problem if I became the Jugger suddenly I would prefer if it was with my GS of Hornet-Rico. Oh really ! now I know why they did this, I think it's kind of multing.. for sure no system could detect it, as the noobs overwhelmed the intentional stupid actions by players, but it in real is considered as multing from the heart even if it was away from systems.

I hate how Mouse controls + Auto Selfdestruction are auto activated.. It's really disgusting.. Give the noobs at least some more steps to go to the settings and enable the settings the need I'm a normal player who play Tanki, I think Tanki is appropriate with Keyboard controls and for sure no need of Auto-SD. I don't have to go to settings every time to set my settings to make it a playable for the game!! Disgusting how the big cares on the noobs with explicitly way to give them Auto-SD and enabled by default as Tanki developers know from their hearts that noobs are in a less IQ than to go to settings to change this. At least give a respect for your players!!!?

The one who strongly disagree with you assuming that Mouse controls are superior in Tanki, and no need of keyboard. And the only hulls who play with are Hovering hulls???

I agree especially with Viking who is stupidly in a disadvantage with a very light weight!! But I mean HW is a very rare to see in MM, and every time whenever I see some similar name to me from Parkour mode I just search in scoreboard and yea I noticed they have HW.

No I'm just getting outrage of this Augment in Parkour, and most of Parkour players that I have meet in MM are using HW mindlessly instead of more effective Augments like Stun Immunity.

Lol I'm not meaning to personally insult them, but I mean the stupidest action they did in the game to fight me indirectly is a disgusting thing.. Yes if a player loves his/her friends he maybe tend to defend them in the game and I kinda understand this.. But this doesn't mean that I wont tend to fight him directly as also a normal thing. It's a natural and common thing, but the unusual and the weird thing that they don't want to bear the responsibility of helping their friends and asking me to stop!! Ok guys I have also another stupid things about these situations. One day I found a player in MM with Heavy Weight (I remembered directly that he is a Parkour player) I just directly insulted him that HW is just working in Parkour, then someone suddenly interrupted and insulted me.. I asked him why you talk instead of him, why no him the one who responds. He answered me because he doesn't have a time to respond to such a kids people like me... LOL Or another one who his friend was in a fight with someone, buyer vs buyer. And I saw him to say to the player who fights his friend (pls stop killing "..."), LOL I hate the people who talks instead of someone. I don't prefer to insult, but I'm certainly sure that those players who are really disgusting to Defend their friends desperately maybe the most communication they had with their friend is in Chat or at farthest in Friends in Tanki. For sure not in real voice nor in Discord or whatever, not to mention for sure with no-video.

The Isida who continuously healing his friends that I fight in Parkour mode, then he wondering and asking me why I killed him!! The player who asking me why I fight him while he help his friends that I flipped them!!! Yes they're all haven't collided with me directly, but they help continuously who I fight!!! Or today I killed a girl then she asked me to stop and I stopped but I continued fighting her friends, then in the time I used my Viking OD I noticed suddenly that I get AP and I get killed really fast. I wondered then suddenly noticed her that she used her Hornet's OD, for sure I returned to her and I killed her. Then she asked me why Asem stop!!! !!! such a stupid question! I told her that if she didn't want to fight why she used her OD on me, then she told me that because I fight her friends!!!!!! Ok if you really want to fight because your friends you should be a responsible that I will kill you also, as you also admitted that you used the OD to help your friends!!!!!? By the way I left the battle after that.. I get tired by the the foolish'est and stupidest actions I see in Tanki?

Lol soo comical a Legend with a 5816 GS??

It's true, but I don't prefer to waste 2 months from my life just waiting for a battle pass. If I really care about this I will pay with $ instead of waiting two months And I think most of F2P couldn't resist or being a patient for a two months without spending their crystals and tankoins completely. Some of them (and it's a large portion of them) couldn't maybe even gathering 100 tankoins before spending them in a meaninglessly things like Flag paints.

All of the above answers are wrong If your topic labelled with "Merge" that means your idea is a similar to an idea OR it considered as an idea who fit in a category topics, like ideas for interface or ideas for MatchMaking. And your topic will be merged in a few days. So it's not necessary that your idea is repeated or have suggested before as they assume above.

I think it looks too close to Alien paint

I think you too understood him wrong? He now show us how Firebird and Freeze are have a very good angle/area to track the enemy while the Vulcan is in a disadvantage in two sides.. First, Freeze/Firebird have a wider angle and no turret slowdown like Vulcan, so it's way more easier to track mobile enemies with Freeze/Firebird compared to Vulcan. Second, even if the enemy ran out from them. Freeze/Firebird still have after burn/freezing damage, but Vulcan Nope. So he suggest to widening the area/angle of Vulcan to be a competent to compete them.. I disagree with him as Vulcan is a mid/long-range turret to be compared with close range turrets!! But his idea still a valid and it's true that Vulcan in a high disadvantage in tracking mobile enemies and for sure no chance to fight Freeze/Firebird in closer ranges. I think it's common sense that Freeze/Firebird are the kings and bosses of close range fights, it's a normal balance as even Thunder or Shaft or Railgun are weak compared to Freeze/Firebird in close ranges because they're a long rangers.

Ok as you have been answered from the two above and the answers will be repeated if the topic left open. I will give you my opinion and how to estimate some profile of an old player if you really care about.. First look at the turrets, if he have Crusader, he probably have entered in 2021.. if he have Hopper/Ares he probably entered in mid 2020.. If he have Gauss, he probably have played in 2019/2020.. If you couldn't see the Efficiency exist he probably haven't played after 2018.. If he have Magnum he probably have played in 2017+.. And to go more down to not detail more, if he haven't played any hour but he is in a high rank he probably haven't played after 2015/10 because this is the date of ratings system implemented. And to finish it lastly, if he is in a high rank like (Marshal) and doesn't have any turret or a hull in the Garage, he probably haven't entered the game ever from 2013 (the time of big re-balance). And lastly as they answered you above, you couldn't know it precisely if he wasn't in your friends list.
