Say "+5" if you think shaft turret is good.

Say "+1" if you think shaft turret is terrible.

Say "+0" if you think Shaft turret is bad.

 

Bad logic but...

Worst weapon ever !

 

ranking wise shaft will stand at last place in all weapons .. ( cries why i bought m3 shaft) :(

lol.......you wasted over 32k for nothing

i think i like it, but way too long to do any damage at all. im sitting there half the battle waiting for it to charge while some isida just runs up and kills me. best with mammoth if you want to use it and it doesnt work upside down ;)

i have got it to but sometimes its irritating because it takes long time to shoot and it doesn't always do damage that's worth the reload

It's a good thing that it dosn't leave a trail?

It's so that Freezes and Richochets don't know where you are when you fire at them?

u know what you guys r noobs you asked for shaft thats what you got ok now dont go crying u bought it and u need to learn to get used to the gun

[mini_superkid33 0]

Pretty good if you get used to it.

 

My First Match using Shaft. (Silence)

 

around 20 kills 45 death

 

My 2nd Match (Iran)

 

around 40 kills 28 death

 

My 3rd Match (Silence)

 

35 kills 25 death

 

But...Earned like only 50 crystals in all these matches. Pretty hard to kill people with it...I press Space Bar...waiting...waiting...AHA I could shoot now! NO! I've been killed!

 

I just wish "Zooming up can be an Option..." and that you could move while shooting.

So I'm curious, how is the shaft at M2 and M3? I know it's pretty abysmal below that.

did u look at my pic in the first? page i using m0 :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

[husto 474]

yeh, and even M0 in good hands can own (like you lol)

[micah3639 0]

Well...I normally use the freeze...so i stank when i first tried it :roll: but it seems pretty good.

 

what i would like from it:

 

move your tank while it shoots

 

see your health bar while you shoot

 

be able to shoot without the scope

Anyone can see from the stats in the purchase screen that it has a slow reload, and the sighting mechanism turning off tank movement was discussed on its release on the test server. If you bought it and don't like it I would probably encourage you guys to read more before purchasing.

 

I used it on the test server and while M2 is decent, and M3 is viable, you still need to either be at a LONG range or in a spot that is hard for opposing teams to reach for it to be useful on the field of battle. As it stands right now Shaft is just a little bit better than rail gun and on that 2.0 weapons tier because of its achilles heal (slow reload, no movement when in sniper screen).

 

 

IF the following happens shaft would become an official Tier 2.5 weapon

 

1. Don't dismantle tank movement when engaging the sight mechanism

2. Make targeting (in the sniper screen) a MOUSE based function controlling the up/down side to side functions of aiming, but still allowing tank movement.

3. Once out of sniper screen, go back to normal keyboard operation.

4. Lower its full kill power a little with a 180 or 200 Damage max as allowing for movement should decrease the OHKO capability.

 

The fact that it has a slow reload and can't move in that targeting screen makes it a sitting duck in most maps.

 

Those are my opinions.
