Let's discuss new aim for Shaft gun

[ShaD-ER 21]

Working on enhancing Shaft gun, we changed its aim. How do you like it?

We are planing more changes in future.

It's rounded in the center I guess that's what I noticed.

Not a huge gameplay difference, that's for sure!

Bring on moving while shooting!

[MonkeyMagic 89]

ok so change now there. well done devs! now you made shaft stronger and more simple to use. so now you can fully charge the gun and sit there waiting; no overheat! the game was getting bad enough with 1000's of players sat parked with shaft. more and more people will play with shaft now - i guess from a financial point of view this is good for tanki. not good for the game. i look forward to playing games with massive amounts of stationary tanks with shaft shooting from a far. since we are all being fleeced to buy shaft, we can also look forward to the protective paints at 20k each coming soon to a garage near you!

I thought the shaft was going to be improved.

But with the reduction of the power it became a too expensive and inferior weapon.

 

Please, consider too restore the old shaft (power, load and rotation speed) with some features of the new shaft.

It's iffy, I like that it's not black on the outside but moving it is still slow, especially when it's fully loaded!

Overall I think it's 4.9/10 (the originally would be 5.1/10)

Mnay ppl say 2 me tht shaft m0 stinks so im getting thunder m2 fisst then from m0 2 m3 viking and a iferno or python and then shaft maybe

[kingeoin14 30]

Old Shaft (Although ridiculously overpowered) was fun to use. This new one is easier to handle which can lead to lack of skill.

need to improve shaft turning speed a bit at full power as i can hardly turn around 45 degrees without getting killed with mammoth m0 and double shield with one person shooting you without powerups

Even with the slow turret rotation at full charge, i managed to come in first place in a game with liutenants. I think that shaft is a good gun but it seems underpowered at short range. A quick suggestion for development, reduce the full charge damage and reduce the charge time, then increase the damage it does at short range from 18 to 27.

Come on guys.

Or you don't have any experience with the old shaft or you are talking nonsense.

The new shaft isn't easier to handle. You have to press one time more to switch to be able to shoot or to go to the sniper mode.

You waste to much power due to refocusing of the scope and aiming, losing precious power. In most cases you can't shoot at full load unless the enemy is standing directly in front at you, not moving and not shooting at you.

In the old version you were able to reload in the sniper mode without having to press another time the space bar and using the up and down keys to adjust your vertical alignment of the scope. This will cause you 20-30% of you load to lose.

The fact that you automatically return to the normal view, have to press the space bar once for reloading and another time for entering the sniper view, realign the vertical aim, really sucks!

Most often, the normal view you can't use to shoot, because most maps contains different levels, and you can't adjust your aim vertically in the normal view. So you will shoot below or over the enemy. There is no automatically adjustment in vertical direction like with other weapons.

The best would be to provide 2 separate modes for the normal and sniper view. In which you stay, load, aim, adjust the zoom and shoot until you press another button to go to the other view mode.

Listen I had plenty of experience with Old Shaft and it was better. I would rather have overpower than underpower. :!: :!: :!:

Dude, it does aoto aim out of sniper mode

[husto 474]

new shaft still seems good, I met my friend rock in highalnd dm,

[theKill 5]

We should really get the old shaft back but keep the paints!! they were only the good news!

[r_Lennie0 0]

New one sux! I had the old one although it was a little overpowered it was fun to play with. The new I HATE! Bring old one back even if u drop power!!!! PLEASE! I think u have seen enough NEGATIVE comments. So please bring back old one!!!!!!

 

Lennie (and speaking for all other people who say it sux and know the old one is waaaaayyyyy better)

[theKill 5]

The only problem you had made with the new shaft gun is u reduce the hp damage! why ? it was perfect!! now i can't kill as much i used to with the new shaft gun :(

[tripinot 8]

like the new one. the old one was overpowered so if u are isida freeze or fire you had low chance if in one battle were 2 shafts now its ok

[theKill 5]

That's exactly what im talking about the old shaft was more powerful!!!

[kentp60 1]

The new aim is absoulutly awesome!!!! Even though the power is lacking it's more steady and doesn't overheat. Love the shafts aim, but im a little ticked off about the power.. If it could at LEAST kill a mo mammy id be happy.

[caley102002 0]

I think its great with the scope but turns slow :-)

[splitterpoint 10,986]

Shaft is way too overpowered in my opinion, luckely It can't catch supply/crystal boxes that good... and then there's a goldbox.

on the other hand, I fought a shaft team before in highland... I was 1st for quite some time, the others all left and shafts were going to join... all the same tanks; mammoth, zeus and shaft ofcourse... all M3

7 of them...the (...)s ruined the game completely, I'm going to buy shaft soon... if it is that easy. :wink:
