Let's discuss the Shaft gun!

once i get the shaft im going to compare it to every single weapon i have to see if its worth its pay because i hear that the shaft is good from some people but others say its bad ill have to see for my self

And once again I was in the battle with four (4!) shafts, Silence II... they were positioned around the flag, and it was impossible for anyone to come even close! Even wearing Jade paint couldn't help.

 

That is not how Tanki are supposed to be played, IMO - sitting there, doing nothing, pushing buttons... Shafts are definitely overpowered, their scope damage should be lessened or limited somehow, so the others could do anything at all.

Stop complain! It is not shafts foult if you and those who you were together, can't play. Different people, different styles. Actually I'm surprised, how well are all weapons in tankionline balanced.They are some diferences and maybe easiest work has rico and tuffest isida. But overall there's no best weapon. They all have their pros an cons as they have their purposes.

 

So... Shaft has it's purpose too. For how expensiwe it is, actually doesn't have enough power. Making shaft even weaker would make this weapon useles. It's not fair so static weapon to take also its power! Should be stronger in normal mode and should be able to kill any hull in one shot. Beside of that - shaft is extremely voulnerable if you play right. I won't teach you how to kill, since one of my two combinaton I like is shaft. But I tell you... Safts have very narrow angle of view (in sniper-mode) and they are slow like turtle (and more charge it has - slower it is). They are also highly dependable on isidas (especially on mammys while take ages to reach position they wish) But if right people come together, they can be unbeatable. Shaft player must be able to find good spot and must be very patient person - sometime prepared to wait for ages. Mostly "wanabe-good-shaft" (or better "think-they-are-good-shafts") chasing really good shafts and pushing them of their positions. Or bother them so long that they are fed up and move themselve away... Other problem of shafts are stupid players jumping infornt of shaft cover their view (soshafts are often victims of rails and thunders) or climbing ower them instead using other way.

Campers always use shaft to hold a single spot and wait the enemies come,like blue team in Silence.

You are missing my point... it's not a question of different styles and definitely not a question of whether or not one can play; if you come across a stone wall you can't climb or pass, there is nothing you can do. And that's the shaft. It's wrong for one weapon to hold such power that is able to define the game which should be a result of a team-play.

 

And btw. I don't agree with you that all weapons are balanced, they are not well balanced at all - shaft included - but that is a story for some other topic.

I am well aware of its pros and cons... that's not the issue either. And if you look at the stats, it is ludicrous to have a weapon that could easily kill every opponent with one shot, for a limitless amount of time... its cost shouldn't have been the reason of its power. Again, IMHO, it's wrong for one game to be defined by one weapon and a camper. And I think that's more than enough reason for developers to look into a reshaping of shaft for a second time...
