Just take a look at the date. It was on American servers.

Hello Tankers! My name is Erick. Today and on this guide, I am going to teach you or help you to play efficently in Cross map. About the map. Cross map was added to the game in December 18, 2009. It was created and submit by eras. It is aviable in all game modes. It also has winter and space mode. It has a Lenght of 27 props, a Width of 25 props, and a total Area of 675. It can allow a maximun amount of 14 players. It is aviable from the rank of Private. Also, I can surely say that most of tankers have played on this map at least twice. Playing tactics. This map, is not seen so often in some modes (Game and map modes) such as parkour, space or CP (Control Points). Anyways, I am going to explain you in every mode. Even Space mode (Not parkour). Capture The Flag (CTF). CTF mode, is one of the most common game modes you can find on this map. Playing this game mode is relatively easy. But it is so hard to camping on this map with Shaft. It can be a little hard to camping with Vulcan, but when you get well positioned, you can become so hard to beat. On this game mode, I recommend you play with light and medium hulls, it can be very helpful for capturing the flag. Also, your team will need a great variety of turrets and hulls for specific tasks on the team. For example, Hornet and a medium-long range turret, such as Thunder, Railgun or Smoky. In several teams there is somebody very important. that is... Isida. This is the guy who unexpectedly appears when we more need it. For beign more effective, we need an Isida with Viking, this is for avoiding to beign easily destroyed by the enemies. Also, your team will need some short range turret. That is for protecting the flag when an enemy is going to take it, or when the enemy has already taken the flag. Also, we need someone with a Magnum. That could help us destroying the enemies over the bridge or on the other side of it. Now, let´s talk about strategy. This map, is well equilibrated for both sides. It is relatively easy to capture flags on this map. You can go around the edges of the map to capture the flag. That is the easiest and most common way to capture the flag on this map, also you can go over the bridge. This way is the most safer to capture the flag, because this way you can avoid to get destroyed by getting help of your team, also you can get healed by a teammate with Isida. Or if you get destroyed, it will be easier for your teammates to find the place where you got destroyed, and hence, the flag. The graphic below shows the most usual way that most of tankers takes to capture the flag. You can camp here with Freeze to avoid someone to take your flag. Team Death Match This game mode is a little more difficult than CTF, because in this game mode, you can not win by capturing flags. To win, you have to reach a destruction limit in favor of your team, or reach the end of the round with as many kills as possible. For this game mode, it´s better for everyone to use medium hulls. Eich have equilibrated weight and speed. Wich is an advantage as far as K/D is concerned. Also, you can use Isida for healing your teammates, action wich will give you more experience. Also, you can camping over the bridge with Vulcan and a heavy hull, or you could surpriste your enemies under the bridge with short range turrets, Freeze, for example. Or medium range turrets. Such as Twins. I have nothing more to say that: Let's go with everything! As you can see, cross can allow up to 14 players (7 each time, in case of team battles). Death Match This is one of the most recognized game modes of this game and much others. Tis is the basic game mode of the game. Evertone has played necessarily this game mode. Just because, your first battle as a Recruit. These battles are very simple to win. You won´t need just a nice tank on this map. You are going to need skills with your tank. I recommend you to use Thunder. It could help you getting more kills because of splash damage. A nice battlle... I think it will have nice results... As you can see, it really had nice results. Gold box dropped in middle of the battle... :D As you can see, I didn´t take the gold, but I earned some xp, had fun and... I at least tried it, but someone mined me... D: Control Points There are 3 points to capture on this mode of this map. For capturing points, you will need some splash damage turrets, such as Impact, Thunder, Magnum or twins. And a medium-heavy hull, between we have 3 hulls: Dictator (Medium-heavy), Titan (Heavy) or Mammhot (Heavy). This is for stay camping on the points, wich are the most important and essential of this game mode. Your team will need some lethal turrets, such as Railgun (Wich has a very high damage), Smoky (It´s critical hit could help you a lot), Shaft (It has the most high damage per shot of all turrets). but I don´t recommend you to use Shaft, because it is specially designed for long range maps. I recommend you start capturing the point that is closer to your base, after that, try to capture the central point. And fiinally, If you are dominating the enemy team, you should try the point that is closer to the enemy base (That is no necessary, but if you have a chance, do it). As you see in the image, first capture the closest point to your base (Or the tower of your base), after that, fight for the central one. Well, guys. That was all for this guide. I hope you liked this, I hope it helped you... I can´t say anything more than... Keep calm and gotta blow ´em all... That was Erick... Greetings.
