Let's Discuss Shaft!

that'll teach them to be good players

[trombone_ftw 734]

You can't activate N20 as a spawn >_>

[ALEKSEJ0077 150]

really i didnt know that but thanks for the info . I will be waiting for you to spawn without n2o

[TG159 734]

i like it ok, i have M0 ok.

[M1-A2 840]

Too bad for Shafts, their DPs mean nothing to my Wasp's nitro!!

Wasps with nitro mean nothing to my shaft. At long range obviously. In stadium you wouldn`t stand a chance.

[khaenn35 5]

Nope. We can take you out even at far range. Wasp n2o won't do a thing vs shaft, as to fight back you need either dp or da, and one heck of a really low profile.

[Buggati_The_Best 1,233]

i had a one day ban 

 

DP plus shaft equals terror across the fields and it is even more empowered because you can use the same drug without any like reload time after using it for 45 secs

yes,but also you have to have tons of double power >_>

To get more experienced, try using the turret that is your nemesis, it helps you to formulate a strategy against it.

Shaft heavies will now make a comeback, as there will be only one need for shaft,or perhaps two:dp, or da. And use that to camp and you will be opped.

Btw for an opinion, as clan leader of my clan, i use shaft-mammy for my position, as defense and support. What do you guys think? I camp in CWs as i form the detailed tactics and co-ord, to ensure stability. We dont use drugs in CWs. So, what do you think?

I think that sounds good as far as positioning goes. Personally, I would use viking because it allows you to rapidly change spots if necessary. This ability has allowed me to save our flag many times.

It's very hard to take me out at long range. I use viking m2 so my hit space is low and my health is high.

Yep. I am one heavy guy, so i use mammoth.

[Buggati_The_Best 1,233]

i like to use shaft with wasp and stay in cramped places :ph34r:

[ALEKSEJ0077 150]

y do like to use shaft like that

[Remaine 4,687]

When I get Titan M3, I will never have a DL again, looking at the contemporary circumstances of the game.

[sensei_tanker 3,098]

They should make it more over powered so that it can one shot hunter just like it used to at M0

[kayake 82]

im a pro at my m1 shaft i had saved up since i first joined to get mine m1 and i finally got m1 at the rank bellow warrant officer 1

[Buggati_The_Best 1,233]

y do like to use shaft like that

i just could take a heavy hull,but no....

[zadanx 52]

I just ranked up today, mainly due to my Shaft Viking combo. :)

 

Its nice to see more shaft players on the battle field. This gun is getting the respect it deserves. :ph34r:

[Loackie 269]

But I use Hunter :(

[One-Foot 17]

But I use Hunter :(

beware......

[One-Foot 17]

When I join a game with my mu'd m1 viking and shaft, I pwn and am always 1st or 2nd. Will it be possible to do this at higher ranks?

If the test server is anything close to the real one, M3 Shaft is still very useful considering the massive amount of Hornets everywhere, but you have to deal with protection paints and the inability to one-shot anything Hunter and up.

Yes, shaft m1 will be effective to Major (my rank right now). It has the power to one shot m2 hornets, so you will still be a potent force on the battlefield. After Major I would recommend having shaft m2.(At that time a lot of people will have viking and Titan and mammoth m2. And a shaft m1 would hardly put a dent in those.

 

Edit* yes it will still be possible to be first or second at higher ranks. However it will be a lot harder to maintain that position especially in a large Ctf match.

When I was a captain, for example, I got first in a Ctf match with a d/l of 99 and 3.

basic answer " oh yes" :D

 

However there are some points to think off.

 

I have Shaft M3 and fully MU with firepower and arcade power. I have half MU the rest

 

With the Viking (M3) I currently have it half MU at protection and will fully MU it when the next sale comes.

 

Some people will accuse me of being a "noob buyer" :ph34r: but to get the best from this combo u need to MU.

 

In battle a Wasp at M2 needs two arcade shots, and a M3 wasp needs one hit at arcade if you use "double Power"

 

Hornet M2 needs 3 hits at arcade or one at half full power. You only need to use a full power shot on viking, titan, mammoth.

 

If you are in a battle with mainly Hornets, you really do not need to use full power shots .... therfore saving you time.

 

A M3 Hornet needs half a shot at minumn and then a quick arcade shot to finish.

 

M3 mammoth will need a full power shot and then a quick arcade shot.

 

What helps is that many players do not use paints against Shaft ... but those mainly at Rail.

 

If I drug, which I do not like, than double fire power would mean that I do not bother to snipe, I only play in arcade mode.

 

Great in maps like Sandbox, Coombe and Island.

 

The main reason I like Shaft is because you can change the style of play during the game.

From taking those one kill shots, than charging the flag and killing people with just arcade shots.

 

One more thing, Shaft can eaisly kill more than one tank at a time. I get more two kills with Shaft than I do with Rail.

 

Hope that helps.

shaft can do double or triple,never managed a 4 kill with a shoot(with shaft)
