I don't play with Shaft very often but I really like the way it works with mouse controls.

Keyboard.

Coming from games such as CS:GO, I clearly prefer mouse controls for sniping. Keyboard controls feel weird to me

I haven't played with Shaft for a very long while, last time I have tested it just in a few minutes with Mouse in HTML5. And I confidently say it's way too OP with Mouse controls, you just have to move your mouse to the enemy and yeaaah you killed him, stupid frustration easiness

Mouse can be confusing because you have to wait for the actual laser to meet your aim. Keyboard is instant and feels so satisfying. It's the way to go for me.

I agree if this in any other turret, but for Shaft noope. It's waay more easier with mouse controls

Especially for a hard enemies, it's something hard with keyboard but I don't think there are any one who couldn't point at a thing in the screen with the mouse.

If you play with Railgun or Ricochet or any other turret it's true that aiming with mouse is a horrible bad, but with the Shaft it's too slow in the aiming and you need a precise aim so it's too easy.. This is an old video for me..

I have never used Shaft with a keyboard, I only started using it when Mouse Controls where introduced. You can make the most accurate pixel shots, and you can block your aim somewhere to hide your laser.

LOL I though you made a video dedicated to me . Objectively, I agree, It's easier with mouse. Being a shaft main in early years I had almost perfected the keyboard aiming (now I'm a little rusty, though but I still like it). This was just for discussion.

All of the reply + the video haven't took from me a ten minutes. I have more than 150+ hrs in Shaft across all of my accounts, not even a one hour of them were with mouse. All of my time was with Keyboard, but I think with mouse it's way more easier.

Not only Shaft is easier with mouse, every turret is. I don't get how having to wait for the turret to meet your aim is confusing. If mouse's camera moved with the turret in sync, it would actually be impossible to play with mouse

So this is why I say mouse controls are impossible in Tanki

[wild001 1,424]

Shaft is so hard to use compare to others, even after 10 years in tanki, shaft is my least use gun.

keyboard control is the original way, and it use to have aim shake effect like human brealth and holding like.

control aim with keyboard like pacman game, up down left and right, up up, you either move too much or too little, too fast or too slow to follow enemy move, you cant chase aiming on enemy like striker and gauss.

 

mouse control is better on pixel accurate but the lag between mouse aim and shaft aim cross is annoying,

 

mobile control is even worse, you try to use one thumb to aim and one thum and type to shoot, scramble thumb on screen is too much friction to move without finger pain
