Night Mode for maps and Shaft’s laser scope

[wolfthebeast_tanker 2]

if the shaft light is staying on ffa you shuld change to black to blue to red to white to pink for girls to green.

 

 

and m1 should on shaft be harder to see the laser m2 should be even harder to see only if you keep the laser even if u shouldnt :mellow:

[creeperskelly 1,281]

I agree - worst update I have ever seen to any game I have played - and that goes back a very long time (1985).

[creeperskelly 1,281]

Why are flags lit up on day maps?

[DrSaint 176]

In my mind this is not harming shaft, that is only if you know how to hide your beam from your target! ;)

Unshaking view scope is perfect now, since shaft user can (ab)use it to get a clear lock on slightly/partly visible moving target ;)

Tried it and it made me satisfied! :)

Yes. I have Shaft M3. The laser is a strong help for enemy. But Shaft does not shake now. To me, it's win-win.

I REALLY don't care for the lasers going through the maps while playing it's distracting when not using a shaft.  When using a shaft the whole purpose of being a sniper is wasted if everybody knows where you are, the SLOW reload is what keeps it at a disadvantage.  

 

The night games are fun....

 

Bring back Space Madness so i can fly in my wasp with a smoky.

[creeperskelly 1,281]

It seems they traded lasers for dead-on accuracy.

 

Both really defeat the nature of what sniping is about.

[infamous 94]

night maps are good..

 

before i continue, i just want to let you know, i only as in only play shaft so i know where i am coming from.

 

The lazer scope on shaft actually sucks. A lousy attempt at undermining the best gun in the game probabbly after rail.

 

Shaft is an awsome weapon and not everyone knows how to use it.

 

I did not pay up hefty amounts to buy a shaft or to MU it (more than 100k and still counting) for some tanki tom dick or harry wake up one morning and think about last night where some shaft kicked their royal hinds and say "oh that gun needs to be detectable so lets have a lazer scope so other can see and kill it." That is totally unfair and uncalled for.

 

if someone cant detect a shaft this their probelm.. they are not paying attention to the game - their loss.. why punish shaft for it.... instead may be you can add a movng map to the game like counterstrike where it will show possible enemies in front or something like that.

 

For night mode ok it does make some sense since the lazer somewhat also helps the shaft to aim right..

 

Stablizing the scope is very nice and helps now to take accurate shots.

 

Spoiler: laser is present in day (summer/winter) maps which i belevie is a glitch and should be removed. It should only be available in night maps.

for weapon shake on snipers just push the gun in the other direction. Its only slightly more convenient.

Holy crap. Why do you hate the scope so much?

All of you complain about the ski before hand, and how much more difficult

It will become cuz of location and junk.

SOOO

Now it rakes more skill, a shaft shoots than has to go to different spot. A shaft needs to learn new tactics. STOP YELLING AT DEVS.

They made a good choice.

It is still an OUTSTANDING TURRET. How about you actually play the fame and find out for yourself, dang, shadt pretty good...

^^^^^^^Definetly NOT a Shafter -_-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[SmexyGiraffe 584]

.____________. Yes to the night maps and NO the laser :(

[Rebellion 640]

Shaft went from Great-Terrible and although to others it may seem "harmless" the shaft is now visible like a railgun, and targeted like God_Mode_On.

[creeperskelly 1,281]

Yeah, that's it - it's like every hit from shaft is dead on and kills instantly.

 

Prior to this the only time I ever got killed by a single shot from a shaft was when a shaft was using double power, or, when I was literally in front of it.

[Commander-CSY 7]

Great update. I love how shaft has been readjusted to give it a less of an edge. Although of course, only fast tanks like Hornet and Wasp can outrun their aiming

[r_8devil0 5]

if we can add laser for all gun In the garage is so beter

[ImranHaqueSajeeb 4]

Don't like this shaft's laser scop. I am fully unhappy :( Please remove this.

[r_ambest0 3]

No more never knew what hit them = no more fun

 

Isn't the point of being a sniper is to not get detected... until you fiire the shot

[epanastasi1821 80]

Night mode is an excellent addition to tanki's repertoire. 10/10

I don't particularly like using shaft myself so I'm a bit non-comitted about shaft's update, but I will err on the side of being in favour - just.

What I would like to see in an update though..... is a shaft that self-destructed every time it shot at me, but I guess that will not happen any time soon!   :P 

[r_ambest0 3]

Oh and players can defend themselves against snipers when they come back next time round, as they have an indication where said sniper is at. And It's not like getting destroyed has any detriment since it doesn't add anything to the end of game placings ( well unless they decide to make it so that first place = best win/loss ratio).

It was a snipers gun, I dont know what it is now. The essence of sniping is staying invisible.

 

On Monte Carlo shaft is more-less useless -- nobody will drive out of cover if they see shaft's aim ...

 

I remember the time when shaft killed everything but Mamoth with 1 shot -- not any more.

Now its sniping ability is removed too .. I think its because shaft is now available on low-rank games and this is too much for newbes :)

 

The "great rebelance" still keeps ruing the game :)

New laser looks awesome and is visually perfect, but this update isn't very good.

What is the meaning of sniping? Small phrase from the dictionary: "shoot at someone from a hiding place, especially accurately and at long range."

After that you added laser to shaft, anyone can see me. No need to think about camouflage or hiding spots. There is no fun anymore. It is like raise a flag "HERE I AM, SHOOT ME". Shaft has no advantage anymore.

I did not come here only to whine, but I also have one idea:
Snipers could exit the scope mode without taking the shot, if the enemy have left from sight.
In current situation I have to shoot and it is wasted because the reloading time is quite long. It means I am a good target for other players.

Hopefully I opened your eyes and you can find a good solution.

I have sent a mail to TO-support for a refund for the upgrades on my Shaft! When everybody with a Shaft does that maybe they will reconsider it! If not i will go on with my quest for refund!!!

[blackjack91 49]
