My love for this weapon died much earlier than this.

[Amagi 1,728]

My love for Tanki died with this weapon.

After rebalance if they didn't change it it still would be the best weapon in the game.

This happened:

dont use standalone when using shaft, use the site in non full mode

[dfoofnik 341]

Yeah, I used Shaft-Hunter A LOT when I was Colonel-Major General, I was usually on the move because the laser would give me away and  LOTS of tanks would try finding me.

I use strictly Shaft and Viking, because you need that little edge sometimes. I see Hornets and Hunters with the big heads and they usually go down in one shot. I can take a normal M2 or even M3 hit, but if they have DD, I better have my armor on.

The problem *for me* with using Dictator Shaft is that when you go to sniper mode, you are aiming over the enemy heads. :o It takes a second longer to lower the barrel before you can traverse. With Viking, there you are at chest level with anybody.

Another interesting situation in Monte Carlo: I was on one team with 7 other players, and all seven were bunched up behind the flag!

- no one guarding the left top

- no one guarding the low bridge

- no shafts shooting across the low bridge

- no one going to capture the enemy flag from any of the 4 possible paths

Now how could they expect to get a winning score, much less even get more than a few lucky shots at the enemy??

The only chance they had would be to get a 0-0 game and maybe kill a couple of attackers while being surrounded on 3 sides.

I spawned at the top and could not get left post (enemy flag) or back to the low post (shooting from the back right corner).

The crossfire was terrible for a lone tank. I do not think I could have survived to leave a mine by the flag.

I stayed there for a couple of minutes and said "these guys do not deserve to play, much less to win" and left.

They lost 10 to 0 and all but one left before the end. No discipline, no intelligence, no teamwork -- no crystals.

I can't believe this.... this glitch with the scope was occurring during testing as well, How could it have not been fixed?

That's not the problem: mouse controls have a separate cursor for sniping and the old crosshairs are still there, uselessly offset.

:blink:  Was it written by the same guy who wrote the "super-fancy end game early update" that effectively *killed* early endings?

[dfoofnik 341]

Welp, the devs completely ruined Shaft now, time to leave Tanki. Cya on the other side guys!

"Hey, why don't we have as many Shaft players buying crystals?"

"I dunno. It's not like we totally screwed up the latest update again..."

 

Time to take a week off while the devs clean the felgercarb out of their noodles.

[LeIouch_Vi_Britannia 6,163]

Poor Shaft, it starts moving by itself without me pressing a single button.

 

Plis fix this devs...

Shaft controls are working fine on my end for some reason. I'm using Firefox, maybe that has something to do with it.

[fighter309 384]

I used Chrome and Opera - everything was working as it should be.

Nope. It seems user-specific, since my Firefox (using the site) has the offset crosshairs since yesterday, and nothing I do fixes it.

You can use mouse controls, but this only adds a smaller reticle (brackets) where it is going to shoot. Were mouse controls set to automatically trigger full-screen? I think it is another glitch.

[DEVASTATORSNS 5]

Nah, everyone thinks its bad, but the few Shaft users find it amazing !

 

They are better for kill stealing, unlike in the past, when they used to one-shoot and dominate.

yeah shaft isnt OP now.it requires more skill and frankly more fun now.

my shaft has the same problem. also the turret spins out of control.when in sniper mode the scope goes haywire

[DEVASTATORSNS 5]
