Weapon Guide [Shaft]

[GENERATOR2142 17]

So yah i desided to try to make my first Wpn guide

(I`m not sure if someone already made it but atleast i can try and i only have m0 )

 

The Shaft

 

Shaft is the only weapon in Tanki Online wiht an unique scope mod wich allows you to charge (hold space) a very powerful shot + it zooms until it has reached maximum charge and then you can just sit there and wait until the target is at the range of visibility. The scope or "sniper" mode makes shaft a very accurate weapon on long ranges, but shaft also has a "secondary" fire option wich is weak shot wich you can fire wiht out scope.

 

Controls

Hold Space to charge the shot

Arrow keys or WASD to move when in Scope

Release space when you want to fire.

 

Stats from M0 to M3

(from http://playtanki.com/stuff/turrets/shaft/2-1-0-18 i didnt find a pic anywhere and was too bored to upload)

Price: 800 +2400 +7200 +21600

Swing speed: 0.5 0.52 0.6 0.7

Damage in norm. mode: 16-20 18-22 23-27 28-32

Damage in scope mode: 18-100 20-110 25-140 30-180

Full charge (sec): 8.8 8.6 8.4 8.2

Recharge (sec): 3.4 3.2 3.0

 

Shaft is best when used wiht a strong tank like Mammoth or Dictator/Viking m3 but i recomment to use Mammoth unless you like to camp.

 

+

- Good damage

- accurate and unique "Sniper" mod

- 2 firing options

- the first version fired trough thin walls ( it doesnt do this anymore ?)

- Can make coffee, deliver pizzas and pay bills =D

 

-

- Turns very slowly

- Very low changes to win in close range battle (unless fully charged when enemy appears)

- Not useful in many maps

- Non scoped fire is weak

 

Tips

- I recomment not to use Shaft in DM unless you have a very strong tank or camping spot

- Do not attack alone you will end up dead (Shaft is best when camping, or when other people cover you)

- I recomment having a friend wiht isida in battle wich makes you almost unbeatable and

- You can make railguns miss their target like wiht thunder (read Koolwalkys thunder guide http://forum.tankionline.com/posts/list/45828.page ) By shooting on the Edge/corner when they are still charging

 

To be continued?

good job, but some tips maybe?

[SakuraVisions 120]

Forgot:

-Shaft can shoot a turret's nose, even through walls.

-Shaft is the slowest turning gun. Therefore, don't let a freeze near you.

-Shaft has a reload time of 3.4 at m0 and a charge time of 8.8. So, know what you have time to shoot.

-You can also make smokys and thunders miss there shot and off balance twins and ricochet.

-Shaft is useful with quick tanks as well is big. ( I use Shaft M2 + Hornet M2)

Also numerous spelling and grammatical errors, but overall good effort. :thumbup:

 

Edit: Also a con is the very expensive price.

I'm pretty sure Tanki made it so you can shoot a tip of a turret's tip through a wall..

You did a aswome jobs. But yeah you did miss some things. But like you said this was your first post. So it is amazing for your first time. But you should add a couple of pics and/or videos. But other than that it is super good. :)

goddamnit you just exposed the glitch of shaft D: shoot thru walls

In the new tanki verson123 i am a small lvl but i already got shaft so dont think i am just making things up. But you said it can shoot through walls right? Well i played with shaft for like 1 month now but i cant shoot through walls >: Or is it just me? If it is just me tell me how to shoot thhrough walls. Anyone?

[Jonathan33512 2]

I have something to add to it: When you are using the shaft, and you are on sniper mode and have no target to hit, press 'p' and immanently after that, press tab.

[WOLFCAIK 5]

you missed something to shadow if you are holding down space and you are getting bored bring up another window release space and go back to the game and you will be in scope mode with out space then press space to fire if you go P tab once you've done this you will charge up and go back in again P tab gets you out
