@ Destructor
The best advice I can give you is play, play, play ! Studie your opponets, we all have a week spot but most of us do a very good job of hidding our week points. Do you play any other games on TT or only battle mode ? B)

Ok meathead I have no clue what the heck all of those words mean. And yes I play scrum everyonce and awhile lone but mostly I try to play battlemode.

Kill the opposing tank

Hahaha funny strike I never would have guessed that is what your supposed to do

Shoot a stream of bullets where the tank is going, so once he gets there, he'll meet Mr. Steel. Of course, a better way is to shoot the bullets up the direction he's going, and then he'll get hit even more. One drawback: he may dodge, like a smart person. But it's a good way to kill some n00bs in the process. You could also go for the smokers. But it kinda offends the other person who was trying to shoot him in the first place. Lol.

I don't have any Tactics to give,But I do have some TicTacs.

I just attempt to get behind my opponent,and let loose some lead.

I find this often in "noobs." When they don't know how to play and Bm us. So becasue of that I really don't like shooting people from behind. Now I am not saying that I wont if I have the chance in BM, but I would prefer to take my opponet HEAD-ON. I find it much more satisfing when I take someone down by slamming some lead into their face. A some really good tactics I can offer. Always move! Don't stop, if you have to turn and are being shot at, just make a wide turn. Weave and dodge alot. Shoot when you think you can get say 4 bullets on him, other wise your just wasteing ammo. Thoes are all I can offer!

Well, you haven't seen my aim. Lol. Like those bots who have impossibe aim. But other wise yes. You're right about the "four bullet thing" and "the always moving thing"

More Tactics:

If a person hides, he has nothing to fear...except hiself getting no points. Thats why everyone who hides gets a lot of points. If you ignore a person who hides, he'll come out. THEN you can shoot the crap out of him. If you notice a hiding person on your radar, don't go and get yourself smoked or killed. Leave him there until he comes out. Then once he sees someone coming, he'll go and hide again (if he doesn't, kill him. He's bound to have a good surprise and not know what hit him until he is smoking). Once he's hiding again, forget about him. Etc.etc. Then they won't get anymore points and likely to be at the bottom of the list. After he does the hiding technique for a time and sees that people get smart and ignore him, he'll learn the meaning of the game ThinkTanks and be a real fighter. That's what you'll wanna know if you want to turn a hider, into a fighter!

If you're gonna fight a bunch of bots that are against you, and there are no human players with you, go on the edge of a cliff, and fire at them before they hurtle themselves off the cliff. Trust me, they'll do it. They're bots.

Absolutely NEVER EVER hide from a human player and let them come to you so you can blow the crap out of 'em. The other players will regard you as a coward. Just go out there and shoot to kill. Leave nothing alive. I hope that helps ya!

There have been new bots made on TT. Smarter ones. I've played with them and they are almost as good as Supra, or somebody. Watch out for these on the newer servers. Even the "dull" ones are as good as gold heads (expert bots). But REALLY watch out for the golds.

^ correct

BTW: I just tried out that "Ignore the hider" trick. X2-1 was playing at freudan flats and started to hide. I told my team to ignore him and he'll come out. He never did, but nobody came after him, so he got 1 point. Lol. When he finally came out I killed him. Lol, that proves my point!

Very nice ending... Hiders that come out will die so once u hide either leave and come back or just stay there

Sniping from long-range can often work well, if your trying to get rid of a still or slow target that is.

The main problem with sniping is that you get so focussed someone can sneak up on you, then you only notice once your tank is pouring with smoke.

One way to avoid being sniped is to not to run toward them, then you're really easy to hit.

A good rule for getting away from people that works pretty well: Travel at right angles to the person chasing you.

This makes placing shots on target difficult, and can disorient the person firin @ you if they don't have much experience.

STOP BUMPING!

Bumping is posting on topics that haven't been posted on for a long time. It can get you silenced. I suggest not posting on anything that hasn't been posted on for a month.

Circling heavy tanks is a good way to kill because they're SLOW. And just
keep shooting. Thats what I do

You theory would work for 2 seconds if you came up against my heavy tank and me. Keeping your distance from a good heavy tanker is a nice start, better yet pick on a tank your size.

SK

I agree with Lonewolf - study the others playing and see what they do
