  1. Hey Tankers! Today I will be giving you tips on how to always WIN on the map, Highland. In this short guide, I will also be teaching you how to master this map with different tank combos, while giving attack and defense tips & combos too. This guide will hopefully add to your knowledge and help you do play lots better on Highland. If Any of you have not seen or played Highland, I suggest you watch this video for a quick tour https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8FTIf-FB1o 1. Farming Kills Modes: CTF, DM, TDM & CP Attacking Combos & Tactics: Highland is a cleverly structured map, with two higher spots in the two corners of the map. Turrets such as Shafts, Strikers, Magnums & Vulcans normally camp up there, and have big, slow hulls. Grab a Freeze & a quick hull (e.g Hornet), and go and give them a surprise. Go around the side of the map and up onto where the tanks sit sniping and use the classic tactic of circling them while freezing them. This combo also allows you to keep up a high k/d (kill to death ratio) and can keep you alive and Farming kills for a while before a single bullet hits your hull. At the end of the day, if you don't have freeze or it's not upgraded enough, grab another short-range turret and a quick hull and use similar tactics as explained above. What not to do: an example of a bad highland combo would be the turret railgun and the hull mammoth. People with quick and agile combos such as Freeze & Hornet, will end up circling you. Even worse, the railgun takes time to reload, and unless if you are in a quick hull your going to end up losing points. Defending Combos & Tactics: Combos such as the turret Twins and the hull Mammoth (or any other heav-ish hull), is great for keeping enemies from capturing flags, points and Farming Kills. Although some hulls may be lots faster than you, Twins constantly shoots so you don't have to worry about reloading, so when you have lots of enemies coming from all directions you can just keep shooting them. Collecting or drugging a 'Double Damage' or 'Double Armour' box can help greatly increase how much power the gun has, and how much the hull is protected. If you have a double protected hull, and it's the most protected hull in the game, even if you have multiple players on you, you could probably take them all off you. (You can collect these boxes in a match, buy them from the shop, or collect them from missions) As Highland has not many places for people to hide from you, with lots of advantage points, using a Shaft is always a good idea. 2. Extra ways of gaining Points/Kills Modes: DM, TDM, CP, CTF Playing with a friend or teammate: Say you take a combo the same as or similar to the Twins & Mammoth combo. If you have a friend that can back that up with an Isida turret, and a medium-protected hull (such as Viking or Hunter), Boom. You go around into an enemy area with full protection, and with an Isida backing you up if anyone dares to have a go at you. Gaining lots of xp/points: Instead of you being the big guy with an Isida backing you up, you be the Isida! Most enemies spawn in the same area on Highland (at the far end of each side). If you have a tank that's not lots more upgraded than others on the enemy team, you will find it hard to stay alive for long without something backing you up. Highland is also one of the smaller maps on the list of Tanki Online maps. Meaning you can easily and quickly go around healing people as they are all in a smaller and more confined area. Backing a big tank up with many tanks shooting it, and helping others along the way can get you in the top 3. on the list for points, and can easily & quickly help you rank up and gain more crystals. 3. Making the most of the map & Comparing it For everything, especially finding and killing enemy tanks, Highland is great. As I explained above, the map is small and lots of tanks are confined to a small space. With bigger and slower hulls, you can still get kills and move around quickly because of the size of the map, and most tank combos work pretty well here. It is also a great map to practice your own skills & tactics, and once you get the hang of it, it may become one of your favorite maps. List of some more combos you could use on Highland to confirm a victory: http://tanki-online.wixsite.com/game/best-combination Many Thanks for reading my Guide! Let Me know if any of the Tactics were helpful! :P - Leo14425
