Let's Discuss Shaft!

[ziaayadad 26]

I thought this was going to be more common

 

Not really I guess

[r_brandybabyxx0 737]

Hmmm... I feel my weapon's got weakened again.

Horizontal movement in scope mode has been changed to pre-physics stats.

Meaning that your turret starts turning slower while you're zooming in.

Vertical movement however, is still as fast as before the MU-update.

Not sure if it's permanent.

If this was the only new bug you noticed about shaft, you need to do a bit more experimenting, because ALOT has changed.. muahahaha. You have no idea... and it is AWESOME.

Lol, you know me well. :rolleyes:

 

I've never seen you in-game before. Which server do you play on?

Depends on which server my friends are on most of the time.

All the people in this forum mainly like playing in server 2 and I sometimes go there but I waste my drugs on them guys most of the time .

I like the shaft because it has a scope inlike efry other gun.

Shaft M0/M1 (or above) <->Viking M1 (Or above) +Isida M0 (or above)= Unstoppable! ;)  :ph34r:

I cant stand shafts because they are worthless in a CTF game especially when like 3 or 4 of them join your team... they just sit there and go for kills clueless as to what is going on around them, its so stupid.  They also aren't very good at DM or TDM at higher ranks since they can only really one shot wasps and hornets at that point.

that just depends on the person using them.

the old shaft was better...

I agree that the old shaft was better. But since I'm a skilled sniper and shaft was usually my main gun of choice, I won't let an upgrade change it around. I still have it M1 but will buy M2 soon. It's definitely slower to turn when scoped but then that's where the right timing comes in when you have to know when to scope only when you have a target on sight. The quick full power charge now being way faster makes up for the slow reload. Now when you spot an enemy coming your way you can quickly kill him with the fast charging of the weapon.

For some reason Shaft M3 with atleast 41.0 rotation speed (5/25 rotation) is just as fast to turn as pre-MU. Even in full charge, it doesn't slow down :o

I saw your sendoff when I was just new to tanki.

Contaminated's post was so epic!

Glad you are back. :)

i love this weapon but after micro-upgrades i didn't use it

I still use and manage to get a pretty good score. Perfect for stealing kills in Polygon DM :D

[red9401 9]

it turns so slow in snipe mode

[MasterNoob1 104]

it turns so slow in snipe mode

That's because if it didn't, it would be the most OP gun in the game.

Thanks for the 1k subsc btw :)

I am a major General and I have 450k crystals to spend on the 50% sales ofr New Years. After the new physics updates... Would Shaft be worth getting? I am a major general and have an M2 mammoth at the moment. I would use m3 shaft on Kungur CTF and Polygon DM... 

[Raphael2 3,263]

Get Shaft as well as Hornet M3 and Thunder. You'll be loaded.

[Sharet2001 5]

Shaft is a sniper

 

No, isida and freeze are ok, but when an enemy uses it:

I've noticed that when using the Shaft my score is much lower than others on my team (who aren't Isida) even though I will have as many as twice as many kills and zero to low deaths.  This happens most of the time in even TDM or DM games.  Any ideas why?

[Deri-Dex 3]

Shaft can only fire around 5 shots a minute, even if you get a kill with every single shot its hard to keep up with turrets like thunder and rail that can get kills much faster.

I understand that.  I'm talking about when I have more kills than anyone else, sometimes twice as many kills as the players with higher scores (who aren't using Isida) and still have a lower score.  I just finished a match where I ended with 61 kills and 11 deaths.  The two players with higher scores than me had 39 and 51 kills with almost as many deaths and still had higher scores than I did.  Why?

 

It was a DM game and they weren't using Isida, so no score for healing.

I honestly have no answer for that, score in DM is determined by the amount of kills you have so you definitely should have been in 1st place. Got any pictures of the battle you could show me? 

[Snuffleupagus 0]

No, but I'll post some next time.  This happens all the time.

[edvinpavlenco 1]

happens to me as well
