Just realised, it's my hornet that's partially upgraded(roughly half of every parameter). As for the shaft, it's just 2 upgrades for damage(142) in sniping mode and 1 for damage in arcade mode(25-35). As long as I got a paint, I'm good.

 

 

I expected you to fully MU your turret(at least the damage parameter), but now I can see it won't be so bad hehe. :P

wanterd to fully up it as I was ranking so slow,

but now that Im ranking fast, just gonna buy M2, thats a bit better than M1/75 :p

Exactly. I've ranked up quite fast recently and I'm not planning on doing any MUs.

 

I just couldn't hold myself just now from playing another game on the highways map. Scored 382 and destroyed 33 without a single death. Not the highest in the team but my best score and game in CTF so far(zero drugs, except for one double power supply drop). Of course, I was just at one corner of the map. Had a few close calls too, and the only hits I got was a smoky from the enemy's side, and I got hit by a railgun in the last 30 seconds of the game, which I survived. Didn't want to risk showing myself during those 30 seconds so I hung back

 

Man, what a game, all thanks to Shaft! :D

 

Wanted to get a screenshot but it was too late. :P

Mostly because I was only in cover, that's the only way I'd get 0 D/L 

 

If I go running around the map, it would be a different story, probably like your D/L, or even lower.

 

For me, I enjoy competing against other shafts and railguns, so I take a backseat in the battle if there is one.;) I only move ahead if the team needs more people to get the flag, or needs help from nearby

Railgun is like a more manoeuvrable shaft with less damage and is 99.999% of TO where only a select few of the EN comunity does not use

I kinda like Shaft but my problem when I use it is that if I'm Holding Spacebar while holding Up+Left or Left+Down it doesn't work because my Keyboard is just bad, and holding two directionals at same time is very important on scope mode.

Some keyboards have something where if you hold down a specific set of keys, one of them is negated. I have a similar problem with my keyboard. One of the things I like to do is use the turret rotation keys in conjunction with the directional keys. This allows me to bypass that three key glitch while I'm in scope mode.

 

Another thing about the three key thing. It may or may not apply depending on the order you press the keys. For example, when I use twins. If I'm driving while turnings turret, I can't fire until I stop turning my turret or tank. However, if I'm driving while firing, and then start turning my turret, it works fine.

Shaft is good for two things: potshots and one-shot,one-kill guarding a flag in the open (e.g. Berlin). But too many games become static as each side waits for somebody to cross no-man's land. In a small, mobile game, you can't RELOAD fast enough or rotate fast enough. In distance games, e.g. RIO, two shafts can hold an entire side of the battle (this makes the rooftop route very popular). Monte Carlo is strictly shaft and railgun, but you see the quick tanks slip through somehow.

The best thing about shaft are the "toe shots" or "through the knothole" shots, which you can't even see with other weapons.

-- I killed two guys in a row who looked out through a tiny "safe hole" in the wall < :-O

 

Also, you get a lot of eye-to-eye time with other snipers. (Looking into a laser is sometimes the last thing you see.)
