Shaft Bug (?)

[AnuBoi 19]

Iʻm not sure if it is only me but... has anyone had an issue where when you are in battle while using the shaft, after you take a couple charged up shoots or so, your turret moves just as slowly when its fully or nearly charged up when you are not even charging up a shot at all? This has happened to me personally every time I use my shaft (which isnt often). I just want to know if I am the only one out there who has this issue besides me before sending in a complaint to tanki.

This may be a bug, or just lag... A video, perhaps?

Wiki, I'm pretty sure that AnuBoi has been using Shaft more than you've been playing tanki. I've also noticed this. I'm pretty sure it's not a feature.

Wiki-tank and AnuBoi are talking about two different things.

AnuBoi, I'll use my Shaft today to see if it happens to me too, I'll get back to you.

Finally shaft seems to have some flaws...

[CooperO 7,956]

Mine works the way it always works, fastest when it's not charged, and it gets slower the more it's charged, so I think it's something on your end.

Mine moves up and down, I just think thats what shaft does

Well luckily mine also moves left and right, but that is not the problem AnuBoi is talking about, read more carefully.

I'm wondering why people always use that useless railgun instead of shaft.

 

shaft kills you most of the time with one shot.

railgun is for big failers... noobs who don't know the hit and run tactics, noobs who can't aim and don't use the turret.

 

They even use hornet in combination with the railgun and will flip over every 82 milliseconds.

If you use railgun.... please don't be an annoying fool and go buy shaft.

because you're only getting yourselve kill-stolen unless you use double power.

In my opinion Railgun has one advantage over Shaft. And that is that you can shoot one powerfull shot and hide again, with Shaft you have to sit in the open until you are fully charged (you can't move while charging).

PS: I'm using Wasp and Railgun on one of my other accounts.. And I'm saving up for hornet, because I like that combination best. ;)

I really think that railgun could take out any shaft with a smart player who knows what they're doing.
