[dardayy 493]

 I find the shaft is the easiest gun to use, i dont get why people criticize it. :huh:

[mchen 162]

They criticize it mainly because it isn't as good as it once, was. It could take out all of the hulls except from mammoth in one shot. IMO, shaft is just as hard to use as all of the other turrets (except for maybe twins) as you need skill to be able to find the right spot in each situation to snipe from, know how much health an enemy tank is etc.

This shaft gun

 

Major trouble this gun is u know

 

Is shaft allowed in wars

[r_wienerschnitzel0 25]

Wasp ain't bad but u get owned by a rail gunner

 

Mammoth and shaft scares people off really bad

Wasp and shaft  :wub:

Epic fun to be had, even though you can't get as good a KDR.

[r_DidYouKnowThat0 1,662]

If you have the brains to wear a paint, then Railguns shouldn't be THAT much of a trouble for Wasps. However, the impact of Railgun is very deadly for a Wasp who doesn't know he is  being targeted. That's why Wasp's important rule is to know your environment! Know when you're being targeted to avoid flipping and all.

 

True example: I was on Silence Blue team, you know the camping spot near the red pipe you can peek out and shoot the Red Team trying to get the ramp? A full-drug Wasp M2 was heading there, and I shoot him on the edge with my Railgun. Bang, he goes spinning and flying off the map. Haha. :D Waste of drugs and he had Med-kit on.

 

Can Shaft do the same thing? Impact a Wasp enough to flip it? Just curious.

It can flip a wasp IF your on target.Wasp is too fast for Shaft's scope turning speed so you will find less often get flipped or targeted by a shaft.But even though a shaft can't flip you,if can shoot on your sides if your visible in your enemies scope.

 

But most shaft do manage to PREDICT your movement to where you are going so DON'T go too fast or you will find yourself flipped.

Shaft will rock soon. It will take 3 seconds to charge, 8 seconds between each shoot. B)

yes u r right, i think the above mentioned stat wrongfully said that SPM will be less, rather what was meant is a faster reload time,

The stats are right. Shafts charging speed in scope mode (when you hold space to charge your fire) will be like 3 secs, but the reload time between each shot will be slow hence the low SPM

well thats too bad then !

[metalcrusher 514]

oh what to say about le shaft.....

well....

its only good at maps like stadium or polygon or silence and in those maps they are annoying

other than that personally i think its not a very good weapon

Try it in CTF in Highlands. If you're on the side that has the metal bridge, there are some really good hiding spots and you can get a ton of kills assuming you play your cards right and know when to hit who.

I wanted to get Rico but I'm getting shaft to m 2 first because even though it reloads at 8 seconds so does a railgun roughly and it takes around 2 and three quarter of a second anyway for a railgun shot to come out after u press space.

 

I know that devs will Change it back to normal because it will be very easy to kill and destroy if using shaft but until then I enjoy myself and laugh at the poor noobs

[husto 474]

Before rebalance shaft was very useful in clan wars :)

[Irontank1v 836]

Too bad it isn't allowed anymore

[husto 474]

You can still use it in drug wars :P

[Irontank1v 836]

You are the one with countless drugs (envy)

[husto 474]

No need to have such drugs to perform in a drug war with shaft, usually need just double power and sometimes even double armor :)

[Piety 70]

I don't have unlimited drugs but u have enough

[Remaine 4,687]

Shaft will reach maximum charge in 3 seconds? Oh no.

[Piety 70]

I see evil laughs for shaft users

 

Look remaine I won't lie but I so know devs will change that back but until the figure out they should I'm going to buy it at Christmas sale

 

I'm going on holiday and I'm going to come back to tanki or should I say back to England in 30 of December which is bang in when the sale begins

They may possibly do so BUT it takes 8 seconds for it to recharge; it's like they switched the recharge and the maximum charge around.

They have but still seymon says it will have less shots per second but that doesn't matter when u have more chance to kill ur enemy in time

 

But I know devs will change it to normal

 

Imagine destroying a m3 dictator in. 3 seconds
