Let's discuss the Shaft gun!

[Tommy60 406]

They need to make a paint with shaft protection

 

There are already three: Champion, Acid, and Matryoshka.

 

Matry whata whata?

 

 

Paint that's only for the original Newspaper makers in the Russian forum. It protects against everything by 5%. I've seen a few pics of it before. It's a bit like Holhoma.

Shaft is bad in my opinion. M3 rail is supposedly a bad QCB weapon' date=' so I presume shaft is worse. A freeze mounted on top a hornet or m2 viking could run circles around a shaft. Even m3 does not rotate fast enough.[/quote']

 

Explain, with your logic, how I am able to beat charging Freeze/Firebird/Isida/Twins players with my Shaft. Shaft is like Thunder- It is near useless until M2, then it will devastate. M2 and 3 Shaft IS a good CQB weapon, as it has a good charge time and damge. :!:

Shaft

 

Shaft gun is a masterpiece of war engineering. It was developed in a scientific RnD laboratory of Sniper and Artillerist Union. And it breaks all of the tank battle tactical basics. State-of-the-art optical system allows to deliver adjusted fire and ranked energy consumption technology allows to control the power of a shot.

Manual

1. Hold on «Space» to charge the gun

2. Move the sights with movement keys

3. Let the «Space» go to shoot

Minimal charge required to shoot marked on charge bar with vertical line.

If charge bar is completely filled, the gun can overheat and will fail to fire.

September 22 Update

- Shaft gun re-balancing was finished. Previous version of the gun was confiscated from all players who bought it and spent crystals were repaid Discuss

In new version of the gun we:

-- simplified control;

-- added possibility to shoot without using scope;

-- added possibility to stay in sniper mode as long as you want with fully charged gun;

-- removed black filling in scope mode;

-- visually enhanced the scope;

-- changed boxes and flags displaying in scope mode — now they become semi-transparent to simplify aiming.

 

Lets discuss....

[GENERATOR2142 17]

can someone make a video of the new shaft so i know should i buy it again?

OR open test servers 8)

[r_Xenonzx0 10]

wats CQB?

[r_ELain_3S0 17]

A player i know bought it M3, and he said he wasted his crystals, even though he liked the previous version (M3).

[r_almighty010 872]

Actually i've used the shaft M3 it awesome you should ask from those that have it already.

The new good thing is that it doesn't overheat. You can aim and wait at certain position until someone appears in your target and shoot.

Or you can shoot like a normal gun just hitting the space button once. Just try it.

Hopefully there will be a video soon.

[r_HardcoreMax0 2]

[Lhamster 4,081]

It sounds like shaft is now very OPed, I shall have to try it!

[hermenzanevv 0]

I agree but it makes it more balanced i suppose but still :thumbdown:

[ORANNIS 1]

The New version is great, i havent tried it yet but the rebalancing makes it possible for other players to get past the full charge

[Raaish 26]

When it is full charge,the gun moves slower than my granny >.>

Hello to everyone and Tanki online team especially,

only several notes to the new Shaft. I do understand, this is not at first time you have made some kind of weapon with certain characteristics and then you cut them off, well OK, but what about the prize for the new Shaft in this case - is too high, do not you think? 32 000 for what? For weakened weapon? What is the sense of it? The most expensive weapon in weaponry with so poor power and effectiveness. Just on the edge, what does floating cross-hair stand for??? Especially in tanks, there are all weapons stabilized by gyroscopes. Have you ever been in real tank or fire with its weapons? I know it is a game but certain level of logic would be welcomed by all of us )) Well thats my opinion. Thank you for all your work on project Tanki online.

Many players look at this from afar but for those who have used the shaft for a long time will definitely fill the improvement in a way.

 

Well there are two things we need to consider here:

 

The mistake in the "Shaft" performance tables the reason why all goods were returned to their owners, thats one.

The value of the new shaft is the value of the present shaft that has a number of improvements:

-doesn't overheat when it fully reloads.

-can focus and still maintain a full screen view.

-can fire as any other normal guy by pressing the space button once.

I respect your opinion and thank you for putting it across.

[BCEM_BCTATb-OMON 4]

Ha I bought the new shaft with the wrong performance tables( and now i got back the crystals). I used it and found that the quick shot thing is useful but sucks. The scope shot doesn't overheat which is awesome. No moving while in scope. Lacks OHKO potential unlike the old one. Scope is wayyy better full screen and zooms in slowly however turning ability in scope sucks. IMO Old m3 shaft is better than new m3 shaft. However new shaft is much more pratical than old one and can be used in a variety of maps

Well, the improvements you have mentioned are definitely benefits but what about sniper mode better said hand gun sniper mode and floating cross-hair. Is it a compensation for overall damage caused? Yeah, 180 is the biggest value from all weapons but what's the goal when you miss your opponent. From my point of view Shaft would has its worth only without floating cross-hair, in this case 32 000 it is appropriate prize for it. I realize that all weapon in game have to be balanced to retain this game playable but Shaft is the most expensive one. So logically the most dangerous and the most advanced one. I have been playing with old one from his release till yesterday but now shoot at certain point is almost unreal and this is the biggest drawback of "sniper rifle". I respect your and the others standpoints this is mine own.

addendum:

to be clear that I am not only criticizing I bought an old Shaft M3 and also new one M3 as i hope new one will be even improved))

[BCEM_BCTATb-OMON 4]

so old m3 is better?

[maceta 0]

so old m3 is better?

 

definitely yes, you could win on Highland with a perfect rating besides full screen view of course
