Thanks a lot tanki for shaft. I don't particularly consider it to be overpowered (but it's embleer fun), but I love the concept. This proves to me that tanki aren't scared to innovate. Their not following all the existing rules. But they care, they change, they have fun. I adore this fact.

 

It's incredible, seriously. Don't get me wrong: Shaft could be better, but seriously!? This was just a new type of weapon, and it is pr0 to have such a thing. It might not be too powerful, but it is a new concept, and I am glad that tanki care about their game enough to try to innovate. And it looks totally impressive as well....

 

As for how good it is, I only have m0. And that shaft m0 is causing me to put railgun m3 on the side in my garage. Because shaft is so so much fun and has huge potential... Thank you tanki for shaft, especially how it is a brand new concept.

 

(all we need now is Fly Test to come out... Please......)

Very very bad weapon, I kill tanks with shaft about 40 including 10 marshals by twins

YEAH.......i'm a sniper tank...i allways waer the railgun...i like the slow-long range-highdamage cannons

 

because U can take cover while it recharges press space while moving and when the enemies see you is too late....they're dead...i think tha shaft turret is the best

really annoying how it DOESN'T shoot through walls though. and the fact that even though the consensus is almost unanimous that this gun is underpowered/overrated, the mods haven't even answered (i think) and nothing (to my knowledge) is being taken into account, even though this is a thread for us to discuss and input our opinions.

Not on the english forums, anyways.

 

Who on Earth started that rumor about shaft being able to shoot through walls?

[r_THECOW0 0]

haven't use this gun yet buy i saw a lot of noobs using it. some guy with shaft use drugs and charge at me. then he expect me to stand still while he charge. i just circle around him and he miss. all this time i keep shooting him and he soon die. i wish people stop misusing shaft. im sure this gun will be awesome in the hand of a pro.

[r_Haaax0 3]

Is it good idea to buy shaft?

[husto 474]

M2 Shaft, No words, Perfect gun.

What happens if you're on the team without the marshals and generals, kool.

[eessydo 17]

^^Agreed. Posting a singular result in a battle where both your team and the map is favorable to the gun is not really proof of anything other than you played with better players. Everyone who keeps posting screenies, I would recommend either

 

1. getting in a battle where conditions aren't favorable and posting a screenshot OR

2. Posting screenshots from your last 50 games including battles where you didn't quit a game because you were getting mauled by Marshalls and general ranks.

 

I have more than one game where I have a high K/D ratio with M1 shaft when in favorable conditions also, doesn't make the gun any better or versatile.

 

 

I think most people are reasonable enough to understand that one game is statistically insignificant when judging overall performance.

 

Right now, more often than not, the team with the most Shaft guns loses in most maps. Considering that this is supposed to be the next generation of weaponry, I would say it should probably at least be 50/50.

Shaft is great for killing in big maps, neither earnign crystalz or winning battles.

 

Just like railgun, but it costs ten times :lol:

[laserdart 0]

RAIL COST 100 M0 SHAFT cost 800 m0 thats times 8 now if there is a even newer gun thats time ten of rail cost 1000 it will be a crazy gun maybe and guess like combine twin and rail a fast as a minigun but the shot are like getting hit by a car now thats is a **** of a gun
