Night Mode for maps and Shaft’s laser scope

Love night mode! Graphics seem  to be better, and visual effects are amazing!!

 

With Shaft, love seeing all the lasers going on, and yes, made it a bit easier for me to get flag, but also harder. Knowing that a shaft was waiting for me to pop out allowed me to have  the ability to stay safe. On the other hand, I could quickly locate them, even with camo, and go over and kill them short range. I think if the person being targeted had like a spotlight, or something that notified him he was being hit, but not where from exactly; would be something worth thinking about. Otherwise, good update!! :D :D

You took away the stealth of the shaft. Why, because a few whiny babies cried?  The shaft takes a long time to power up, so now the target is warned and can move away before a shot can be fired.  Now it is useless in sniper mode. You ruined a great gun.

Not fair for shafts

 

- Every weapon has  its strengths and weaknesses. Shaft's only strength is its one shot kill but even Railgun does that and Thunder also

 

- Shafts are very slow to reload and no match in one on one combat. 

 

- No shaft remain hidden forever, one two shots and they are found. 

 

- Freezes are most frustrating weapon because it render.s the enemy defenseless. But I still like it for its uniqueness

 

As a shaft user, i am not happy with this update and might switch to other weapon now.

FAIL

 

The whole point of SNIPING is to not be seen.  You've just completely stripped that away with this update.  Probably the most ******ed turret update since I began playing in March 2014.

 

If you want to give a "hint" to make things "fair", then show an illuminated dot on the target's hull or on objects nearby. At most perhaps show a tiny red dot on the sniper. But to show a laser from point A to point B is idiotic. Tanki developers needs to rethink this one.  Absolutely stupid!

 

 

WIN

 

On the other hand, I have been waiting for a night mode to finally be released. I haven't tried it yet but I am sure it's fantastic.  The next thing on my wish list is weather conditions such as rain/snow/thunder. Night mode is a huge win.

 

Tanki developers...you got this one half right. Obviously noobs who hate snipers are going to love the dead giveaway (might as well hold their hands and help them drive their tanks while you're at it) ....but any player with experience knows where to look for snipers and doesn't need a laser beam "hint".  EPIC FAIL !

Finally, you removed shaking in the shaft - it was so illogical on the machines, it was compared to handshaking, where as tank is a massive machine, only a very strong wind could disturb the cross, but usually in nature there is no such wind in usual circumstances. it was very annoying

While I like the update, I have one question:

Was really Shaft so overdominant in high-ranked battles that it needed a nerf?

to  be true I don't think so, I didnt feel the shaft dominance, moreover I thought it is more vulnerable because everybody can find it and they hear the sound when close to shaft and shaft would lose on short distances and when shaking was yet it would lose even on long distances, against smoke or rail or thunder or fast moving targets

Hello Tanki developpers,

 

It's nice to hear tgat there will be nightmaps soon on tanki. But i am not happy with the fact that the shaft will get a laserscope. Then it wont be a sniper anymore. thats the skill of a sniper. You only know that it is there when it hits you. That's why they also use snipers in a real war. Maybe it's a good tip for you to give the shaft a contrail when it shoots, just as with the railgun, But that will also take away a large part of its sniping skill. When a railgun is between the bushes you also can not see it, till it shoots. Same with Thunder. What you going to do with those 2 turrets? Also giving them a laser-scope so everbody can see them all the time when they are aming? I am a shaft player, its very simple for me, when the laser will get on i will quit playing this game. Alltough i invested a rather good part of money in this game to upgrade my shaft. Now tanki-online tells me, thanks for the money but we going to change it and now the shaft will be a sitting duck. I can make this writing a lot longer. What about the rico and smokey, they give such a hard punch you can hardly aim on them. That's frustrating for some players!!! Are you going to change that to? less punch!?!

Don't be stupid, IT IS A SNIPER, ONLY NOTICABLE WHEN IT SHOOTS!!! KEEP IT THAT WAY.

Its good but there is an disadvantage.

The person who hide at camp and use shaft can be easily recognized whereas before they cant find our camp. :excl:

Ah! No wonder there was a server update.

Awesome! Although I usually play without Dynamic Lightning on due to lag, I think I can make an exception for Night Battles.

I'll just use some other turrets that take less aiming, like Firebird or Isida. . .lol.

lol

Did the developers drop their brains somewhere?

 

The only reason to buy shaft is to be hidden and to be a SNIPER!

Snipers are hidden! And now when using shaft, you feel less skilled because you don't have to pay any attention to the shake at all!

Change shaft back!

Ok, I have used this shaft update and there are many shortcomings. 

 

- Since I see the enemies line of aim, i can be away from it and enemy doesn't know that I know his precise line of aim

- If a shafts laser beam is not aiming, it is known to enemy that shaft is probably reloading and definitely not upto it's damaging capacity

- The moment I aim, i blow up my position and let the enemy change its course or I ask them to come for me

- One thing we must remember, that in telescopic view of shaft, a shaft user is "blind" and doesn't know what's happening around him in the map. 

 

THis is unfair to shaft

And when the railgun, Thunder double power, double power Smoky sniping?
 

The ad for a real treat if you do not know who and where shot. Do not you know you can not see your opponent, but when she is close to you. You do not need to look on the opponent's name, the only indication Isida in range, no need to light the flag and falling droplets.

 

 
A real pleasure to find the sniper, the enemy is hiding. Real headwork, teamwork. But if you can see where you are coming and then coupled with the additional execution. But to hunt, to seek, to find it? As dark forest of wild boars.
 

A few hills in the background image incorporated "Massacre", visible track. Too many sik, street landscaping.
