Unless ur japanese...

See this is what I mean.  This is what will bring them droves.  I am +1'ing this comment for that reason alone.

 

Given this is a thread about shafts, we should try to stay on topic.  Tell me, do you ever play shaft and what do you think of shafts.  Do you like the more tender and greener M0 shafts, or the beefier and maybe tougher and less kind, but harder to play with shafts, like M3 and up?

Well, I can see where dealing with more than 3 shafts all up on you could become cumbersome.  As for me, well, I don't roll thatway, I mean, there can be shafts around me I guess, that's life right?  But I not inclined to play with them, just around them.  I prefer sharing my shaft and it's abilities with other kinds.  Now, you having a shaft is, well, interesting, but, I guess that works, in the sense that in the game of Tanki, I only shaft, I only have my m0 Smokey otherwise from account creation, but I learned that my shaft is what I like to use during play.  Glad to hear you deal only with shafts, and multiple ones, excellent team play.

 

Still looking btw, God this takes forever.

Well, as you can see, I'm giving up on that.  Couldn't find it.  It's a mystery.

I understand the laser beam. The game would get too frustrating if you just suddenly explode all the time with no warning. I understand the long recharge. What I don't understand is why it's so bad in arcade mode. At a distance it rocks. When the enemy closes in the shaft is dead. Shaft will have to become much more effective in arcade mode for me to have much interest in it again. I suggest just keeping the damage the same. Also change the name. The term “shaft” has sexual connotations.

Okay, I'll bit. Shaft has a long barrel, it's slow to turn, it has a long recharge, the damage is only a little better than smoky while in arcade mode, and it works best with heavy hulls, but it's the light hulls that usually close in. How is this combination “too useful” ???

Great damage with long range. 

If you deal with other disadvantages, you have great damage and long range :)

 

Lots of disadvantages can absorb, except low damage and short range, and shaft doesn't have these disadvantages.

What are some of your fav maps to use shaft in?

 

 

xD Haha i believed in you but i knew you werent going to find anything

 

Favorite maps (since I only shaft) ar Serpuhov, Berlin, Industrial Zone, Breast, Lost Temple (it's good, but a little too slim pickings for over watch sites really, too much action down below), Kulhoz is alright too.  Massacre is Awesome, but that's in it's own class, gotta have a team that knows what they're doing, but I can clean house on that one if the team is good.  Other maps, um, dunno.  Rio is alright, not gonna say bad, but it's a little tough in there to get spots to work in.  Other than that, nothing coming tom ind right now.

 

As for the image, you pulled it then didn't you, I know I could have sworn I saw one once.

 

You havea map or two you like better?

Yhere is lots of map, even some small ones, but do you sure about Kohloz?

A big map, but have seperated sight with lots of block, no camp point and to meet someone on short range is pretty possible.

I've done it and made a decent D/L.  that's where it's at for a shaft, cove the team and don't die, so I can't complain.  There is another I'm thinking of now that I wish I could remember, I need to add it to the list.

aaa yes, I forgot team battles :) I was just thinking DMs. :)

If you make a list, can you share? Actually, I have some ideas, maybe we can discuss and find something better...

I like Massacre when it's big teams, everyone tied up in the middle and the edges of the middle, we shafts then get to turkey shoot the entire game, and yeah, ctf.  Berlin is the best CP map for shafts, we can do some real damage there, LOVE that map.  I just don't like the spawn order on that.  Everyone can spawn anywhere on that, there is no side with the CP, so you're on the bridge and they spawn behind you and just waltz up and pop you.
