"Shaft" is a sniper ?

[shokone_nog 1]

SHAFT turret is a sniper gun. It usually hide and sneak to it's target post. Now, why exposing a laser light for it's opponent , Must I say that shaft should eliminate it's laser light for good.

And bring back the instability? Also, "Ideas regarding changes to the actual Tanki Online to its previous versions, or ideas regarding the removal of updates are not accepted."

I still angry about that. If ı write about that, I may get banned... However, I have to accept one thing, shaft's position is better than my start time, 7-8 months ago.

Even with the laser players have rather low situational awareness. So you can still get kills.

 

 

Charge up your sniper power, move the aiming point to a wall where they won't see it but nearby. When someone falls into a spot, move your aim there and fire.

Shaft is only for very big maps... like stadium and biggers...

For small maps (Silence and smaller) its weak... coz when you are in sniper-mode you cannot see whats going one nearby yourself plus the laser makes enemies aware of your shot. So don't use shaft or you will become fun of others :) Also players will vote you for ruining the game :D

Shaft is a turrent which needs skill to play , when there was no stabillity and lasers ,players who mastered it were on the top of their team , once I got some tips from a shaft player : M1-A2 his best score in a stadium CTF was 130-3 now u can see how they would feel when the instability in scope mode is gone , now that small smallest rank players use it like Pros and the players who mastered it what would they do, they expose their hiding spot and no longer are called masters

posting ideas like this is against the rules of this section

besides this would make it OP as the reloading time is less that it was b4

Since this is an idea, Moved from General.

Shaft's laser has advantages and disadvantages:

 

The laser allows the shaft to do psychological terror against hidden enemies, and also makes them know where you are. It's like the Spartan laser in Halo, if you know what I mean

 

Shaft is my favorite gun, and I don't find the laser a bad thing

You're right,it's not for small maps, but with a little bit of experience you can use it in small maps without problems. You won't be the first of your team, but you can make a good battle. In silence, for example, I'm not so bad with shaft. Of course I can't stay in the same place for long time.

Yay...More players talking to themselves....When you meant by "psychological" terror, I guess players think that the laser is this:

Tanki Online is more of a dynamic arcade shooter than a strategic slow-paced war game. The laser was added to Shaft to force players using it to move around the battlefield more and actually engage with their enemy, rather than pick off light hulls one by one. The laser will not be removed.
