Let's Discuss Shaft!

[Tidebreaker 1,669]

I have m1 and its still amazing at wo5. Recently got heavy capacitors alt but Im not sure how I feel about it yet.

Should have gotten Short-band emitters. It's better.

Yea it looks interesting, costs only 20k so might try it out later.

[ZloyDanuJI 409]

Next time do with Hornet and ONLY using Eagle (Spider module allowed). Get at least K/D of 1.00.

what's with those weird criterias? like how do any of those senseless criterias have anything to do with the shaft alteration? 

 

and really, you want him to not use equipment he has (by only using 1 module even though he has more) you're basically asking him to sabotage his team.

Fine. The "challenge" can be done only in solo fight. Since you said that will cause sabotage. I want to see if he can do it. I did it before. Edited March 2, 2019 by FrozenRailgun

Gratz on your rankup!

Thanks mate!

In this battle, the enemy team was consisted of Hunter (not as in the hull, but from TheOdd1sOut Laser Tag). No joke!

[falcONltu 7]

Is it just me or heavy capacitors actually sucks :(

When I first started playing tank about 7 years ago now (I played Brazilian version before English due to a school filter) Shaft was hard to use, I was not that great, was mostly a rail gun user, but after tanki began improving, and I got better at the game as well, my shaft skills are pretty good. Alterations really increase performance in smaller maps especially if you are in a MM battle, as most of the maps are small. 

I play a mix between Isida, and Shaft. I don't really use rail anymore, I stopped using rail probably a year prior to my vacation from tanki so 2016ish.

Logic: Practice makes perfect.

DM with shaft is proper speedy way to get stars. I tested it for an hour today and got 68 stars! Generally 4-5 minute match as I hit 30 then. Even got 30 once in 3 minutes. I would of finished faster in here also, but failed to do image properly as scoreboard couln't be captured during match, 20s wasted. But second place had 14 kills.

That's a butt load of supplies. I wish for that many batteries. 

 

Try it without the Booster Drone. I've seen a particular Shaft player with the Rapid-Fire Mode alteration get first place in many DM battles without a drone. He doesn't get a big gap between him and 2nd place like Freeze usually gets though, the gap is usually 1-5 kills. It's nice to see that Shaft can come first in DM battles.

Yes Shaft is good in DM/Jugg with rapid fire alteration

What are you going to give up to have ability to ignore the mediums with protection modules and/or DA?

 

So basically it would be an alteration...

Some Juggernaut battles with Shaft. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I became Juggernaut once in the 3rd, 4th and 5th one. The 1st and second were kills from my Shaft alone.

I am just hoping this won't be turned to alt, but just coded to shaft's gameplay. I doubt it will happen tho, as it will give advantage to shafters. If they turn it to alt, I doubt many will buy it because most people will remember enemy paint and won't shoot if they are 50 protection.

Ignoring the juggernaut is the best way to get first everytime

But people don't like that and it bothers me. I feel like I'll be segregated from Tanki's society if I go out of my mind to attack any other player than the Juggernaut.

Shaft players are used to people being bothered by them  :ph34r:

Ha LOL.

 

Did a DM battle, placed me in Highways with my signature setup.... "camped" at the center top bridge. Which a Hornet-Shaft cannot do.

 

For some reason, dudes barely uses the top center bridge moving around.... Or it's just me being lucky....

 

At 1st I got 12 kills 1 death and then.... at the end I made 22 kills 4 deaths. Still good. My goal is to have at least of K/D of 1.00 at the end of the battle.

I was actually talking about anyone in general.

 

It's kind of like knowing exactly what something is in real life but society doesn't see it for what it is and they shun you because you try to tell them what it actually is instead of joining them and believing it's something it's not. I think about scenarios on a regular basis that my peers deem weird and unnecessary. This specific scenario bothers me every day.

Anyone else have this bug when sniping with RFM on?

 

About 5% of the time, a fully charged sniping shot will deal the regular arcade damage instead of the one-shot kill for mediums and lights. Incredibly frustrating to deal with.

It happens no matter what situation you're in, no matter what type of Shaft you use. I never had this bug during the first few days of using Shaft. It was only after those few days that it started happening. And recently, I've been getting them at least once in every battle. There was a battle where 4 of my shots were like that in a row. It's really frustrating, especially when it's a win or lose situation.
