Let's discuss the Shaft gun!

[Got.Kills 0]

Great weapon for a person who likes to take their time, bad thing about it is if you

want to charge it full, and enemy leaves from sight, you just wasted a good 7 seconds

charging a weapon that wasn't even fired. if over heat was taken off, It'd be loads easier

to handle

That would make shaft overpowered.

The Shaft is the best gun I have ever used. I can always get a KDR of at least 2.50 every game. I always destroy everyone.

Those who think it's terrible clearly just suck with it. Go use Twins or something if you can't handle shaft. I personally think Shaft is a very good gun if used properly. With an M0 Shaft and M1 Mammoth' date=' I was getting kills faster than anyone else in the battle (I was second lowest rank there). Just proving my point that Shaft doesn't "suck". One main strategy I noticed with shaft is that shooting stronger, slower (charging more) gives a much higher damage per minute. Just like with all weapons, (Besides Twins) Timing is important, Shaft just has a different way of timing. One last thing: If you just go play "Ping-Pong" or "Island" with shaft and then immediately come here and start complaining about it... well then your a sad person. [/quote']

 

I may be a sniper but i am not buying this gun. I mean, railgun recharge is bad enough and now T H I S? Seriously, 4 or so shots per minute. I dont think waiting for i dont know how many seconds is worthdoing a dismal 110 damage on max charge. Plus the overheatingthing sucks too. railgun m1 with 2 shots can easily do more damage than that in the same time. It is not worth spending 800 crystals for something you can get for about 600 crystals.

Think about it, dudes....every weapon needs its strengths and weaknesses. Shaft is uber-powerful...a long reload and "over-heating" help bring balance. Now, I wish Tanki would bring some balance to Freeze.

Dear Noble ,

 

you thoughts are as nobel as your name.But this gun has no strengths only weakness.

 

If you see tthe strength parts it can shoot down any tank when it gets charged to full.But what is the use of that if you cannot keep that full charge and cannot target them proper as it keeps shaking.You cannot detect any small ranker come near you and shoot you down slowly .Without letting you know from where you are getting hit.

[tangocharlie 0]

if you keep rotating slowly near the guy having shaft .Shaft cant hit you and a small ranker can kill big ranker with lowest gun with time.

:wink: :wink: :wink: :x :roll: ok just sayinhg that i wanted to get shaft but some one told me it takes ages too sooht but reaaly strong example as the flag get taken and u just shot the u got to follow enemy and wait so idk if im getting it???

:!:

[tangocharlie 0]

Does it at least shoot through multiple tanks like the railgun? I still haven't seen anyone use it in a battle' date=' been playing for a while today.[/quote']

 

it cant shoot properly a single tank you are taking abt multiple .I wish tanki team makes some changes to make it darling of all.Right now its a waste of money.

Best 800 crystals I ever spent in my life. Shaft M0 gave me a MUCH better performance than railgun M3. And best of all, I could go out in the battlefield with a wasp M3 And complete destroy my enemies. Like I said: It's only good if you know how to use it.

That's why you don't go into medium or short ranged maps. Try using shaft in stadium or Brest II and those "small rankers" wont even be able to touch you. (Or any other "ranker")

This gun has more strengths than you think. It doesn't recoil: better aim. It does EPIC damage at M0, and even more at M1-M3. It can snipe. The projectile travels very fast (unlike ricochet). You can chose the amount of damage you need: For example, you can shoot in just a few seconds with low charge to finish off an enemy with low hp instead waiting 8 seconds (with railgun) to kill an enemy that has like 1 hp left. And lastly: It's very easy to steal kills with it.

 

 

There, I'm tired of answering all your silly questions n' complaints. I hope you all realize that shaft is a good gun, and if you don't, then don't use it, don't complain about it.

 

HAPPY TROLLIN'

[trevor3t 40]

I actually bought this weapon. O.O

[neo9xt 4]

Funny? LoL... its even worse than camping with railgun... scope is a useless pain and shaft will be good only in big big maps.

 

I suggest to not buy it till you decide to upgrade at least M2., thou if you have overflowing crystalz buying that "for the lulz" wont be a bad choice :-)

 

agreed

[neo9xt 4]

800 crystals wasted.

 

no use in close battles or even medium size maps. even a noob with noob weapon can kill you.

lets say if agreed that you can snipe and kill enemy from distance (even i dont)

whats the point when

you cannot run and capture crystals

cannot go for flag

 

worst of all "you cannot move while scoping"

even smoky can shoot you down.

[LeXi30N 1]

Obviously shaft is not My Type weapon (lol), but if i make an analysis , I can find some of its positive aspects ,

 

Shaft can be used in big maps where a player place his tank on an isolated or hidden place and uses shaft as a sniper.

If you have good patience and you like to play slow games , then take shaft and find long games ..

shaft is not for short team games , its needs loads time to attack , meanwhile you will be dead till its ready to hit .

Players who likes aggressive quick game never try buy shaft , it will disappoint you the most, ( like I am not happy with it ).. So if you are player who loves to kill 30 in 30 min then shaft is for you .. but if you are like me who wants 100 kills in 20 min .. then just close your eyes and equip your thunder and muster up courage .. So i would conclude ..shaft = below average weapon

 

hmmm do you guys think same?

[Guest wafje]

dont worry about crystals, tanki 2.0 commes sometime this summer and then yu get em back.

as far as shaft:

its damadge is too great.

it can beat evry gunn in 1 vs 1 combad..(tested with an m1 shaft hidden in various spots in silence)

but because it does massive damage it mnust be slow with reload and turn, its like a really old sniper riffle...

it can afther some training kill rails, lozes from thunders(reload is faster than rail so yu can shoot them while they load)

 

as far as in game combad.., it turns too slow and does too much damage when it finally hits thats its no funn annymore

(yu can keep a shot ready by keeping load bar just beneth he amounch yu need to fire)

it should be more modern, move faster and do elss damage, that makes it a lot better

right now its yust a big target thats overpowerd :cry:

[jimmyjampot 1]

Tanki, Shaft needs some serious attention for it to be a true weapon contender, I disagree it should be less powerful also.

 

Imagine what a real sniper is:

 

A deadly aim, shooting to kill in one shot, but also hiding... Now hiding is the missing part from this weapon. Firstly no map really caters for it, magesterial is quite good and maybe Berline but generally none. So because there are not many maps where it is a truly decent weapon to use the play needs to be adjusted hence my suggestion that a users body when in targeting mode adopts their surroundings bearig in mind they are 'shafted' because they are in the sight mode which fixes them to the spot for a bit any way. What I am suggesting is a bit like the alien in the file Predator.

 

Or there are extra levels built around current maps on the outside quite far out where snipers can get to? Remember snipers adopt far away positions to shoot due to their weapon and style, currently this is not at all possible which is why the weapon is flawed.

[Longcat970 119]

This gun sucks because:

1. Waste of crystals

2.Bad aiming,the gun shaking at 50% and beyond made it hard to aim :evil:

3. Cant move while shooting,which sucks also cuz some random guy kills u before u can shoot

4.really dang annoying at all maps,and please.dont accuse me of my skills at aiming my shaft.its really hard to aim at 80%+.

5. make the flash from the nozzle just little more dimmer.dont wanna get instantly sent back to spawn for that.

 

fix the gun's shaking,maybe just a little and plz make it move while shooting.

if u fix that then it will rock and bring smiles to our faces

[r_Yingy0 0]

When firing Shaft you cannot move is a good reason since if you can move and fire then you can just stay in cover and only come out when you're charged up about 80% then kill a M3 viking in 1 shot...

[Longcat970 119]

oh and the only decent map to use it for me is 2042...

Шафт классная пушка,мне пожезла что у меня было 800 кристалов

[stalker-991 0]

шафт классная пушка,мне повезло что у меня было 800 кристалов... :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :) :-) :D :D :D :D :D :D

[r_SomBody0 2]

If you're not holding the spacebar, don't complain, 'cause u can just turn your entire tank.

 

Today when i went on, I didn't expect it to cost more then the mammoth!!! :evil:

 

I only have 691 crystals, and i didn't expect it to cost 800!!! :shock:

[SakuraVisions 120]

When I first got it I was using M1 freeze, so I couldn't get usedd to Shaft right away. Now I usually up to 2.00 or 2.50 ratios a game and I am levelng up very fast! Shaft is very fun to play also. Only complaint is turn speed needs to be at least that of railgun. :D

[neo9xt 4]

looks like everyone hates shaft
