Speechless, tanki has lost it's mind.  Laser energy heal up to armored vehicles.  Nanobots and isida was barely acceptable.  T/his is completely stupid.  Anyone playing with this mod is a loser, period.  Don't feed the fire people.  Jumping tanks. "ice emitters", gumball machine electro turrets.  Help draw the line people.

 

It's already too late.   They jumped the shark.

Sad, just sad.  The pony tailed loser is going to ruin this game.  Someone, pay attention, he is turning it into mighty morphine power rangers, it's, it's, ... I can't say it, I'll get banned, but this needs to end, this is isn't about Tanks anymore.  Even future tanks.  It's turning into LOL or Warcraft, it's stupid, magic drones, augments, electro turrets and my "deathray" shaft that can beam armor repair, c'mon people, shafters especially, should be enraged over this.

My voice disappeared while I was trying to make a positive criticism

Quick scope is not what it used to be before actually u cant do it now!!
No critical damage added (Knowing that now everyone has a Shaft protection, so suppose a player named A has a medium tank and uses a defender drone with 50% prot, so the damage I will do is only about 800  lol, so I will need 4 hits plus If he use the repair kit I'll need 8 hits!!)
ap aug is the worst aug consider all aps ( imgine staying 7 sec standing like that and move the laser all around the map who is stupid enough to go to laser?, i mean even the stupid will wait me till i go another place in sniper mode and shoot me from another place, okay lets say i did ap affect now is he stupid enough to show him self again if i did ap? ofc no) its just stupid aug 

 

Same thing for the Hornet
They said it's too powerful so they nerf it it and made it work only on people you see!
Then they added hornet immu or ap immu.
Then they made an auguments like the hornet hahaha (although they said they nerfed  the hornet because of this feature and that it ruins the game's balance, stupid contradiction)
Then they nerfed the Hornet more and made it work up to 20m only on whoever you see (garbage now if you want to use long and medium range weapons)

The Hornet is the worst tank ever, now that they've sabotaged it and added critical damage and it is completely unusable, the best it can do is show up location of the enemies lol

And the shaft is the worst weapon ever, if we take into account that you reveal your location using the laser, and that you cannot move the shaft quickly and its take very small view in sniper mode, and that you have to wait two seconds for the scope to return so u can move ur tank after shoting in sniper mode! and that you have to expose yourself till that the damage energy is full and that the damage energy takes longer than all the weapons) it's just rubbish now the same with Hornet

My favorite combo was Hornet and Shaft, but now I use Vampire Isidia with Vikings its better 

and in the end i remind myself its a russin game must russins are happy! so damn others and they just do what they want whenever they want and damn others or what they say as long they get money

and yeah every updates is than other and it keep going to more

now for me im just a player trying to get fun so idc eaither i just accept and if the gma get real worse i can usally leave it and move to another game many friends left this game already but i still love this and the only thing is i dont spend money on this game now as i know it will get destryoed soon and there is many better games if i wanna spend money
 

But of course its still op if u are pro like me and use the shaft correct u can still get 50 kills with the shaft if u r lucky to meet noobs :)
Using shaft(7-19) and crisis drone(13) and Light capacitors with viking(7-12) ( i just focus who dont have prot and the small tanks)

 

just move with what they do and try to fit .. when u see this game become in the worst point then leave it and search other games

Me as a Shaft main, I strongly disagree adding critical damage for its sniper shot despite of facing Eagles quite often in battle. If you can deal 3.3k critical damage, then Shaft will be really OP and expect to see bunch of them unning everywhere (also that will upset me because I have 50% Shaft defence myself as well).

What? That auggy has no drawback whatsoever, just camp and you can AP a tank real easily.

Old Hornet OD was really powerful. Let me be frank, at 1st I didn't like the Hornet OD's rework but then I started to realize that it is quite powerful when you are facing any AP Immunities.

NGL, I have AP Immunity for Hornet myself not because the OD but because of AP auggies almost everywhere. Got the immunity back in May Challenge.

This I can agree with you.

To be exact, the effective range is 50 meters.

It's still quite strong NGL, but not that broken like before.

Be careful, this will eventually get them to use Eagle modules as well.

I compare it to Super-Mario Kart with all the bells and whistles and the power-ups you collect.

Can't wait to see the GIANT COWS in the next update.

Sad indeed.

I don't have a problem with it as long as they don't become just that, A problem.

[wild001 1,422]

today I was running with Freeze Wasp on Trickster zipping into OSA lower enemy base.

grab flag, drop bomb, use health kit

I am half way to base but shafted to 1 tiny health by enemy, (survived with my 50% shaft module), then I thought I wont make it home

but SNAP, my health bar to full, it is the ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Heal Emit Shaft from our team. The Giant Shaft on Mammoth sitting on base bridge, guarding the road home.

fully boost into speed, and we got the flag.

Beside Eagle, what other 2 modules did you used? I think that sniper didn't use Mk8 HC, maybe that's why you survived?

And also, I faced something similar back when I was Gismo. During that time @ Sandbox, I was the only Shaft (with that 50% Eagle as well) who was in my team and the opposing side had 3 snipers. Me snagged the flag and tanked one hit (but still nervous). At the end, me secured that flag.

CTF, always 50% Mine module, then 50% shaft, 50% rail or magnum (just to survive 1 shot, as they wont have time for 2nd shot with my speed)

stun immu for wasp, adr for freeze.

--------------

if wasp run too fast when hit long ramp (up hill, or up bridge), it will self destruction. so slow down when up the ramp

That's why I love that augment...I always prefer to help team win and this gives a great opportunity. Early in matches my teammates think I am just messing with them when I heal them and they are shaken by the impact. Once they realize I am healing them, they get much more aggressive in attacking the enemy base or goal. It is a great addition to the game IMO.

Yessir. Played healing emitters on test server and when paired with crisis it heals like a monster. Its honestly a very good team supporter and you can still unleash devastating shots with shaft.

Double damage criticals for Supercharged Mobile Snipers

What the hell?! This is reverting the nerf Alternativa made few years back. Since when I ask for 2x Crit damage and faster charging rate? Looks like I might as well face armies of Eagles soon...

For the love of tank Alternativa, revert the buff.

You got your wish. HCs is now a better stock.

I never asked Alternativa to buff HC and yet they still did.... Eagles are already fairly often, now Shafts are going to face module commonly as Railgun, Gauss and Maggies....

[SporkZilla 1,775]

So 1.5 sec charge time with LC if stock charge time is now 3 secs?

Not a good way to solve module vs turret issue.

[thunderhunter123 741]

I kind of like Shaft a little more now.

I hope to use its sniping mode more.

I like how it can load up fast and aim to full damage faster, and it also does x2 critical.

I wonder if developers thought this was fair? It could be because that's why they made it stronger!

 

Let's all use it to the best of our abilities!

Maybe I will try it out tonight and see where my stance is on it.

@numericable

As someone who mained on Shaft, I do agree that Alternativa overbuffed it. As your point of "allowing more tankers to use Shaft", I strongly disagree as more turret = more protection against it. 

If I was to rebalance Shaft and the entire Critical damage thing, I would rework:

Reverting its base damage back to 3,000 @ Mk8.

Taking 4 seconds to charge up.

Decrease LC's damage penalty to 15% (takes 3 seconds to charge up).

Increase HC's damage boost by 40% (takes 6 seconds to charge up again (to make it possible to use for dynamic sniping but discourages camping) ).

 

Critical damage = Increases damage by 25% when landing a critical hit, strip off its module-piercing trait. Original idea for rebalancing crit damage by @Tanker-Arthur

Your proposal will still make Light Capacitors inferior to Heavy Capacitors.
