Team Deathmatch [TDM]

 

It’s really easy to play TDM. Battle mechanics are very similar to Deathmatch mode, the only difference is that here players work in teams. The goal is to destroy more tanks then the opposing team. TDM games are limited by either number of flags or time.

 

Every team member is responsible for the result as the battle’s final score depends on how well and carefully they play. Team gets 1 point for every destroyed tank while player gets 10 XP points. In case of self-destruction the opposing team doesn’t get any point which is also an important factor of this game mode.

 

The first thing you need to keep in mind is keeping your D/L ratio above 1. If every player in a team destroys more tanks then he or she gets killed, the victory is guaranteed. But in real life you always have one or more players in the team with a D/L ratio much lower than 1.

 

Also, unlike in Deathmatch mode, players’ spawn points are located at their bases. To start fighting you need to go to the center of a map or even to opposing team’s base. As a result, the rate of frags is a lot lower than in classical DM.

 

Usually, the most effective players in TDM are campers using long-range guns such as Railgun and Shaft.

Personally, it's my favourite battle mode. I love not having to worry about someone stealing my kills, and it works great with my Railgun.

I hate it when things like these happen you have the perfect team, and you're winning by a wide margin and dominating the battlefield:

 

~ Drugging Mammoth/Twins or Mammoth/Thunder arrives on opponent's team

 

~ Noobs flood our side when a spot opens up.

 

=============================================================================================================

 

When a drug-noob joins your enemy's side, and is beating your team, do not fret. Although few people are smart enough to use this very clever tactic. When the drugger is winning, look at the scores and how well your team is able to neutralize him. If you are close to winning, then make a mad-dash for the win. Even drug if you have to.

 

However, say the winning limit is still far away, and that drugging son of a gun is winning rapidly. This is when you have to think like a troll. Mehehehhee. :)  ;)  :D  :lol:

 

Plan: You get your whole team to just Pause their game. Press P and just stay like that. Then wait until 1 minute left on the pause, and then un-pause. Move around for like 1 second, then press pause again and repeat until your enemy leaves. Mehehehe! So what if it's mean? You're returning the favor to the drugger. . . Besides, only do this when you're winning. Because when the timer runs out, you still win! Ahaha! :D

 

Or you can just all leave. . . .if the fund is low enough. ;)

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Oh no, what if a noob joins your team? You can always tell him to get out. :P  However, in case he won't, then I suggest you should assemble your team to kick him out. However, very few take the Kick system into consideration and the ones that do usually abuse it. :(  So maybe ask nicely. . .and say that this battle isn't for you. . .

 

Or you can give him some tips. Say he is a railgun. Tell him to get behind the lines and just snipe instead of getting into the heat of the battlefield. Or if he is any other weapon, stay close to base and do not be exposed. Even the slightest move can he doom himself because of expert Snipers. . . :blink:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Meanwhile if you are defending against a sudden Drugger:

• Go on Google translate and find out how to type ''Noob'' in Russian.
• Keep calling the opposing team ''Noob.''
• Tell them that they are wasting their drugs
• Tell them that they lose anyway
• Tell them that Twins is a very boring weapon.
• Tell them that they're turtle-slow with that Mammoth
• Tell them that you're reading a book.
• Tell them their paints are Ugly.
• Tell them they have no skill.

(Warning: If you chat, then you will end the Pause)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

To avoid giving the opposing team a kill, attempt to run off a cliff. As soon as your wheels leave the ground, immediately press the button P for pausing.

:lol: Love to pause when it's just me against a drugger, wait for the drugs to where off, un-pause, kill him, self-destruct when he comes back with drugs, then repeat.

The only way to beat a drugger is to BE a drugger......AND I LEARN THAT THE HARD WAY!
