Let's Discuss Shaft!

Back to playing tanki, upgraded my titan to m4 from mobile version so now I have shaft m4 + titan m4

Mobile version is great for getting MUs done without speedups as quickly as possible.

Preferably in the energy recovery rate. M4 Shaft can kill a player and then have an almost fully charged shot by the time they materialise again. I'd like if it kept its ability to one-shot all medium hulls of its respective tier. It was really bad when I couldn't one-shot Vikings and they were everywhere. If the sniping shot is strong, nerf the number of times it can shoot in a battle, something like this.

 

M0: 118             8.5 seconds

 

 

M1: 125            8 seconds

 

 

M2: 135            7.4 seconds

 

 

M3: 143            7 seconds

 

 

M4: 154            6.5 seconds

 

The nerf is heavier the higher the modification. 

I say M4 would be 160 energy recharge per sec.

I've seen it too. And it was originally supposed to be added last year.

Did you see anything for Gauss? I gave up on ranking my account up because it'd just take too long for what it's worth.

If you go to the Vlog where they announced the big batch of alterations (don't ask me which one, I wouldn't know, though I watched it at some point), you can see LEC in the list. Never added, though - I'm thinking an LCs-sort-of-thing?

When I ranked to on @H.95 there was nothing for Gauss.

Episode #189.

Sadly, no... although this might mean that this alt could come out along with the Gauss ones?

I'm probably thinking a scope mode where you deal half the damage, but with penetration as well as a smaller reload time. Just imagine the stacks you could get on people in domes... mouth already drooling.

Seems randomly complicated (to think of) ;)

I wanna see how Heavy Capacitors is after the update. In some maps, the 8 seconds weren't that bad to wait, and on others, it's so looooong just to get enough damage to one-shot them.

Just tested Light Capacitors, and... oh my God. It is actually amazing right now. You'd think a faster scope time would mean much more sway, but you'd be mistaken! It feels a lot smoother now, too. Plus, the added damage is quite nice to have. 

 

Testing HCs now.

I'll get to test them soon.

To my surprise, the alteration was actually pretty good in modes like ASL against heavy hulls like Titans and Mammoths. It's not as good as LC, but it's definitely a lot more viable now than it was before. I'd give it a B rating overall.

Wow, just wow. The new HC is nice!

 

 

There were like, 2 or 3 Wasps on the enemy team so easy pickings. But gosh it feels good to deal that damage faster. 

 

I tried LC in two battles. They didn't have "extravagant" results, but yes, I agree that it feels much better. 

[Flexoo 6,980]

Agreed. I am living for the heavy capacitor alt now.

 

[Initiate 1,306]

NO. NO NO NO.

 

I absolutely will probably quit Tanki if this goes ahead. You ruined Shaft and I won't stand by it.

There is no crosshairs anymore. There is a little red dot that you can see if it's on a close surface but nothing at anything over 10 meters (at least, nothing that I can see). This is ridonkulous, you ruined quickscoping.

 

Why on earth are you trying to ruin your game.

Wait, what? Is this on HTML5?

How is someone supposed to aim with this? Forget Freeze, this nerf is way worse. Edited October 29, 2019 by GrayWolf8733

We're sightseers now. True scouts with the binoculars and everything.
