shaft damage

[Fresh 2,390]

when you use shaft in full scope mode it takes more damge on a tank then you see in your garage information why is that

[MisterGeneral 692]

The damage is different in distance. 

[Fresh 2,390]

if your closer does it hit harder and if u hit farer away it hits less harder is is true

Not to contradict, but I'm pretty sure Shaft doesn't lose damage over distance.

I second this :) The whole point of shaft is that it doesn't lose power over distance. Sniping turrets like rail + shaft are both like this

Yea, you guys are right, i mixed up between shaft and thunder, thunder is the weapon that loses power in distances :) my apologies.

no one has answered my question here you just made it into a conversation lol

Sorry about that. Ok, onto your question. There are two damage stats shown in the garage. The one that deals more damage is the damage done while you are in snipe/scope mode. The other statistics shown is the damage done in arcade mode (not in scope mode). When in scope mode, you can charge your turret to its' full potential by charging until the yellow bar is full so the damage varies, depending on when you let go of your space bar and how much you let the turret charge before you let go.

so why doesn't tanki put the amount of damge in scope mode thats kinda common sense

[MisterGeneral 692]

It's already there 

The second armor with the scope on is the damage done in the scope mode 

[kingbilal70 35]

but on m1 shaft it says 150 hp max damge in full scope so how does it kill m1 viking which is 165 hp

[JonathanBernatowicz 119]

It doesn't actually. This is the damage I got after I was shot full charge by a Shaft m1 (This was a full shot) (Jaguar has no protection against Shaft)

[kingbilal70 35]

sometimes it does kill m1 viking coz i got viking m1

[I3loodShot 3,119]

sometimes it does kill m1 viking coz i got viking m1

Yes cuz it goes to it's highest damage *facepalm*

[MisterGeneral 692]

sometimes it does kill m1 viking coz i got viking m1

• He had a higher M level of Shaft weapon
• You were previously hit 
• He hit in arcade mode and then in scope mode

These are possibilities, you see, 150 Damage can not "suddenly" destroy a 165 Armor in one shot, it's not possible.

what do you mean by arcade mode and then scope mode confuesed lol

[icerugby 1,886]

what do you mean by arcade mode and then scope mode confuesed lol

Arcade mode is when a shaft shoots without scope mode. Scope mode is when you hold space bar and then you go into sniping mode with the crosshairs on your screen Edited November 9, 2013 by icerugby

Yeah i did my research and i experimented with my friend in a private battle the distance does not affect power, it has UNLIMITED RANGE!!!!!

 

I think if you hit the middle of the tank it gives more damage, than hitting the corner?

Edited November 10, 2013 by MatrixBeagle

[Fresh 2,390]

how is that possible when you hit in the middle it hits more powerful then hitting the corner

[splitterpoint 10,986]

This happens to Railgun, as that damage isn't fixed.

an M3 can do 112 - 166 as shown in the garage statistics.

 

This means it can do damage between those numbers.

But this doesn't have to do anything with corners.

 

Shaft however has a fixed damage that increases as you charge for longer

The time of recharging takes the difference there, instead of randomness.

 

If you fire Shaft, and shoot at a corner of the enemy; it will not make a full charge weaker.... or stronger.

[ChuckNorris2090 102]

Ahem.. you guys forgot... Double Power. Shaft M1 will do 300 max damage, one hit kill against Viking M1

[Fresh 2,390]

hold on.... When waiting for full charge for m1 shaft does it take longer then m3 shaft in full scope charge mode

[MisterGeneral 692]

Faster charge and faster reload. (Higher M faster ) 

[Fresh 2,390]

why does it not show in the garage
