Well, you can make more than one guide, but the overall quality will be judged ;)

I'd suggest making one perfect guide regarding any of the topics suggested on the main page. Good luck!

Sounds like fun. :)

Might edit this post later and add my guide.

[Meliora 1,652]

Are we allowed to copy bits of the wiki like the history or pros and cons?

In addition to this, remember that if you win, your article will be going on the Wiki, so it'll be a repeat. I'd try rewording them, adding some more points or integrating them well and evenly throughout your guide.

[blackopspaul 753]

Urm, I forget the old smoky can any one give me a link to the history of the smoky? :)

How to Earn Crystals

 

Crystals are the only currency in the game. They are used to buy turrets, hulls, passes, supplies, micro-upgrades, and more. There are many ways to earn crystals, some of these can take more time than others.

 

 

 

 

In Battle

By playing in battles, the battle fund grows the longer a battle goes. At the end of a battle, crystals are given out evenly among the teams. The winner or winning team gets more crystals than the other players or team. The biggest the battle fund has ever been is a total of 1,844,360 crystals.

                    

 

Crystal Drops

You can also earn crystals by picking up drop boxes around the map. As of November 27^th 2014, all crystal drop boxes besides gold boxes were removed from the game. Gold boxes are now the only crystal drops in the game.

 

                                                           

 

 

 

Daily Bonus

Along with supplies, crystals are also a daily bonus you can earn when logging into Tanki.  The higher rank you are, the more crystals you get as your bonus.

              

           

 

 

 

Ranking Up

Upon ranking up, you will receive crystals each time you rank up. The higher rank, the more crystals you receive.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Buying Crystals

If you don't want to spend time in battles you can buy crystals. There are many ways to buy crystals, some of which give more for less money.

[Guide] How to defend flags

 

 

 

Having problems to defend your flag?
Wich weapon to choose?
I will help you!

 

How to defend flags

Most people dont like to defend, you don't get many xp to do that. I think that defend is annoying. You earn crystals very slowly. How to defend with each weapon?



Smoky 4/10

You can't be a good defend with smoky. Smoky shoots is weak and attackers easily run off. Critical shoot had beed decreased, smoky's power got worse. This weapon is not good for defense.


Firebird 7/10

Firebird is better than smoky. Burning ability is good, have a big charge to damage enemy tank. I dont like its because its unfreeze the freeze tanks and they just run off. Take firebird when there is no freeze in your team.

Twins 6/10

Twins is good at defend expecially at his ilimited charge. His energy balls are weak. Shoot at enemy's side to make his miss. Use it with a strong tank that is hard to push like dictator, titan...


Railgun 6/10

Railgun got a big damage but his reloading speed is too slow for a good defender. When defending with railgun, use a small tank for catching ennmy quicly. Be carful with your shoot! They are very precious, a rail shoot can kill an enemy at the last second and return the flag.

Freeze 9/10

Freeze is the best weapon for defending, at 70% your team can catch the drugger can kill him. Freeze have a good reloads pretty fast. Use it with a good tank that is quic or indestructible. With a small tank, turn around the drugger, he cant damage you too badly. It is the best weapon to defend flags. Two freezes in a team can be very dangerous, save up crystals and buy inferno it's a great paint against freeze.

Thunder 5/10

Thunder's defend ability is low. Enemies always go beside defenders and thats make you vunerable, thunder are always dead before 2 or 3 shoots. Drive back when attackers is comming, look at your side and shoot when the ennemy is far from you.

Isida

Healing 8/10
Isida is very useful for keeping defenders alive. Heal the big tanks since ther can survive longer. Attack druggers if there is no tank to heal. Don't rush on drugger because many tanks need your help.

Attaking 2/10
Why attack ennemy tank when defenders need health? And isida's power decreased, I didnt even care about isida when attaking. I just ignore them and run.

Ricochet 7/10

Ricochet power had increase alot. Plasma balls shoots and reload faster. Like in blue team of Deck-9 plasma balls can bounce on walls and kils ennemy tank whithout seeing them. Don't waste too much on shoots. It reload a bit faster but it is still slow, range is limited too.

Shaft 5/10

Shaft isn't a good defender when its not hidden. Shaft is strong but it can easily be killed on his side. Hide behind walls or hide in bushes. It can be a good defender but his ability to turn and reload is bad. Use it if you like snipers!

 

 

 

 

Wasp 1/10

 

This is the worst hull to defense. Low health, ligth, it can easily flipp down. With isida it could be better than other weapon, due to his fast speed wasp can quickly heal people. Do not take this or you will be like a mult.

 

Hornet 6/10

 

Hornet is good at small map defense. But in big map it's very bad. Hornet is a attacking tank not a defending tank. Try to do not use it at defense.

 

Hunter 7/10

 

Hunter is good at defense but this hull nobody use it. We don't like his speed and protection. Hunter have a good speek and good armor. It will not be easily killed like an hornet and it is faster than viking. Good defender.

 

Dictator 5/10

 

It have a good acceleration, turns fast but big size. In Sandbox we can even shoot a dictator when he is under us. This tank could block druggers. Whith a fast acceleration, you can run out of drugger range faster. His big size makes him easy to hit.

 

Viking 8/10

 

Low size, good health, this is one of the best tank to defense. You can find viking freeze combo often at the base. I like it very much. This is the second best tank for defending.

 

Titan 7/10

 

This is an epic tank. Faster than mammoth and a bit less health. This is an unpopular tank. To block ennemy is easy. It will survive more time than dictator and that helps your teamates to kill the drugger.

 

Mammoth 9/10

 

Best tank for defending, strongest, and at m3 380 hp is alot. If this tank stays on a flag, enemy can't push you. Your low speed had difficulties to catch other tanks. With freeze this is an deadly machine. Best defender.

 

                                                                                                                               

 

 

 

 

Gold Box's Guide

 

 

Do you want all the golds of the battlefield?

Do you miss them all the time?

Here I give you some tips to catch them.

We know that gold fall randomly but we can know where and when they drops.
Do you want to know how to catch gold easily? Here are some tips:

-Drug when gold box will be dropped soon appears
-Do not kill ennemy exept if they kill you
-Do not stay in open area if none of your team is drugging

small maps:




Sandbox 
Sandbox is a small map, there is many gold drops. So if Gold box will be dropped soon appears, dont rush at the center of the map because: 1st there may be drugging and 2nd u can be the only drugger in your team so the ennemy can easily kill you. Hide behind walls like this:

 
If the gold box dropped try to get on it. But sometimes gold falls near at the enemy base and there is 2 solutions
1: If you have such as rail or thunder you can try to kill the enemy before that he reach the gold box.
2:Run to the gold!  :PShoot and push the ennemy. 

With the new update gold in Sandbox, they will not fall here:

Island 
We all know that island is a small map but getting a gold box there is very difficult.

Blue team
Getting gold box in blue team is more difficult because you have less change to get it.
The gold box often falls in that red box and if you are using thunder, you can splash damage the ennemy.

Red team
It's easier to get gold here, just stay inside the red box and wait!
Put a mine in front of you then if ennemy comes he/she will be dead ( except druggers and heavy hulls m2/m3)

Farm
It have a little problem there the gold can fall at the 2 sides! So you have 1/2 chance that the gold fall on your side.
solutions:
1st: drug with your team and rule over the map.
2nd: hide behind your walls and put a mine at the middle of the way.

Hill 
Hill is one of the smallest map after island getting a gold there, you need to be lucky. The technic works on both teams. 
Just wait here 

 and if you want, put your camera at lower as possible. Then drive on it when the gold fall, you might be on a tank but thats fun  :D

Comble
Comble balance has been changed now its reverse ctf. Before there was comble everywhere but now... few of it. It was my favourite map behind sandbox and now I didn't like it.
I think that the reverse ctf killed comble from his popularity.

So get back to the gold box.
Get gold box in comble is very easy if nobody push you since there is only one place it could drop: in that box.
So hide behing the walls at your team's side.

And just go on it

Deck-9
Another best map of the game, one of my favourite. This map became popular after the map update because it was unaccesible for low rank.
Gold drops at the two extremity of the map so we cannot see exactly where it drops. Wait at one side and just see your luck!

Blue team:

Blue team had more chance to get the gold because the crystals box fals at there side. Put a mine and just wait.

Red team:

Red team can wait here.

Or drug and go down. Put a mine at the middle of the tunnel.

And the gold!  ^_^

Ping-Pong
There comes a small funny map. When I hear it I think of that sport. I rarely see that map. If you want a gold there, you need to be lucky.
Either you stay at your base and wait:

 

Or wait at the side of the map and place a mine at the middle of the road. This method had advantages and disadvantanges. Like if the gold falls at ennemy side you can get it but if you are too slow they will get it.

Medium maps:




Noise
Noise is a tall map, red team have the average of taking the gold box. Here I will talk about the 2 teams.
Blue team:

in the blue team you have less chance to get the gold. If your team is not drugging go here :

And if your team are drugging go up here:

Red team:

The red team had more change to get the gold. Here is 2 camping spot:

The cons about the red camping spot is that you are in a open area. Blue team's drugger can easily kill you.

Red team of noise can jump from here:
Gold dont drop often here.

Silence 
One of the most played map in Tanki online: Silence.
After the Update 220, 227 — Changes in maps Blue team dont have anymore the chance to get the gold box easily. When the change the ramp the blue team side's gold digger loose the chance to fall on the gold like this:

But now we have new tips to get gold box.
Blue team:
You can still wait at the ancient ramp but gold falls more in that red box than in the blue box:

But now blue team have other ways to get the gold.
This is a technique that allowed you to go on other tank when they are under the gold (works with ligth tanks)

Funniest gold taken

Or just wait at other side of the map:

Red team:
Almost the same tips.
wait here:

Wait there too. Place a mine in front of you can wait. This place is better for red team than blue team because if blue team goes there he can be killed easily. If you are a blue team's tank look around you for enemy tanks.

Wave 
This map is like Comble and Hill combined together. Gold might fall at the center of the map. It will not fall inside valley cause of the update on maps. 

When waiting put a mine and turn your turret to see where the gold will drop. Kill all ennemies that would pass at your left or right.

Cross
Cross is not a very famous map. But battle with admin and player ofen gets there.
For a gold try to hide at the bottom of the bridge like this:

And when the gold appears go on it!

Polygon
The most popular DM map. But getting a gold there.... Is difficult because evrybody can kill you there and there is no isida who can heal you.
The best hulls of the map is heavy tanks who had more health and cant be pushed. There is some famous camping spot to get the gold.

Highland

After many pm about this map highland is out. A very popular map in tdm for low ranks and a great map to get gold box.

Red team:
Red team gets alot of places to hide like:

This is a place who player rarely went there. But for red team it's a great place to avoid being hit by enemies

This place could be dangerous enemi can kill you by the left side.

Blue team:
This could be a dangerous place for you, place a mine at the right corner.

Hide here but try to don't hit that ramp when going out.

This is not a good place, watch enemy. 

 
This nether

Always hope to be safe here!  :P

Large maps:


Serpuhov 
One of the favourite map by snipers: Serpuhov. It is one of the favourite map in tdm and ctf games mode. But how to get gold box on that bridge without all the enemy rail shooting at you???
Here is some tips:
Red team:
If on the bridge you teammates are waiting the gold, just hide at theirs back. Then you will a nice shield and when gold drops. (probably) the enemy will kill your teammates so the gold drops just in front of you!

Or just hide behind walls like this and snipe enemy tank.

Or just drug over with red teams druggers.
Blue team:
Blue team had more chance to get the gold just choose the bridge (same technic) or the middle of the map, snipe for red tanks.

Desert
Another famous dm map. No place to hide, try to do not stay at the center of the map because it will make you an easy target. Use medium and heavy hulls here. There is 4 good camp zone. And now it depends of your skills and luck.

There is some other camp spot but it is not so good because in this map, gold falls fast. 

There is a rumour that some tanker know where gold falls. I will tell you how. (im not selfish)
Get close of the last tanker who killed a tank before gold appears, gold might fall to the nearest crystal drop zone of him.

[Guide] How to save crystals

 

 How to save crystals .

 

 

 

-The best way to save crystals is buying kits. 

-Buy micro updates and their speed up.

-Buy drugs with their original prices. 

-Then you can buy some paints that is totally useless to you.

-Buy turret and hulls without sales

 

Another way to  have crystals is ignoring gold box, don't take crystals box, and when the battle almost end, leave it. Don't participate to contest and don't play at all    :P

 

 

 

ok ok just kidding

 

 

 

You want to save crystals for expansive things? Kits, m3 modification? Look below.

 

 

-If a sale -50% came and there is something other from your main combo don't buy it, because after you will find yourself with m1 or m2 equipment at lieutenant general (3 golden stars) . Try to upgrade 1 or 2  turret and hulls until m3. Which is some kind difficult for smoky and wasp because m2 comes a bit late.

I ruined myself because my 1st m1 is ricochet, my 1st m2 is freeze and my 1st m3 is railgun. So i spend tons of crystals for nothing.

 

-Don't buy something without sales. Sales helps you to get something cheaper. So if we can have something cheaper why still buy it at full price?

 

-Don't buy drugs. Play pro battles and save up your drugs. Drugs cost 50 or (25 crystals if they are sold) and they are only available for 1 min. No need to buy it.

 

-Don't buy speed up for your mu. Mu your things before sleeping or before going to school, work. And when you come back, it is finished! (not always for m3)b

 

-Don't buy mu if you got a m0,  m1, m2 modifications. When you buy the next modification, all mu will disappear. 

 

-Don't mu paints who are under 100 000 crystals (have some exceptions) because they won't help you at higher ranks.

 

-Buy pro pass if you like to play xp or pro battles. See if you need it or not. If you play 5 times a pro battle in a month, dont buy it. 5 times costs 2500, and a pro battle pass is 5000 crystals.

 

And collect as much crystals as possible.

 

Enjoy this guide

I need to post all my guides here or the link is okay?

 

 

 

Having problems to defend your flag?

Wich weapon to choose?

I will help you!

 

 

How to defend flags

 

Most people dont like to defend, you don't get many xp to do that. I think that defend is annoying. You earn crystals very slowly. How to defend with each weapon?

 

 

 

Smoky 4/10

 

You can't be a good defend with smoky. Smoky shoots is weak and attackers easily run off. Critical shoot had beed decreased, smoky's power got worse. This weapon is not good for defense.

 

 

Firebird 7/10

 

Firebird is better than smoky. Burning ability is good, have a big charge to damage enemy tank. I dont like its because its unfreeze the freeze tanks and they just run off. Take firebird when there is no freeze in your team.

 

Twins 6/10

 

Twins is good at defend expecially at his ilimited charge. His energy balls are weak. Shoot at enemy's side to make his miss. Use it with a strong tank that is hard to push like dictator, titan...

 

 

Railgun 6/10

 

Railgun got a big damage but his reloading speed is too slow for a good defender. When defending with railgun, use a small tank for catching ennmy quicly. Be carful with your shoot! They are very precious, a rail shoot can kill an enemy at the last second and return the flag.

 

Freeze 9/10

 

Freeze is the best weapon for defending, at 70% your team can catch the drugger can kill him. Freeze have a good reloads pretty fast. Use it with a good tank that is quic or indestructible. With a small tank, turn around the drugger, he cant damage you too badly. It is the best weapon to defend flags. Two freezes in a team can be very dangerous, save up crystals and buy inferno it's a great paint against freeze.

 

Thunder 5/10

 

Thunder's defend ability is low. Enemies always go beside defenders and thats make you vunerable, thunder are always dead before 2 or 3 shoots. Drive back when attackers is comming, look at your side and shoot when the ennemy is far from you.

 

Isida

 

Healing 8/10

Isida is very useful for keeping defenders alive. Heal the big tanks since ther can survive longer. Attack druggers if there is no tank to heal. Don't rush on drugger because many tanks need your help.

 

Attaking 2/10

Why attack ennemy tank when defenders need health? And isida's power decreased, I didnt even care about isida when attaking. I just ignore them and run.

 

Ricochet 7/10

 

Ricochet power had increase alot. Plasma balls shoots and reload faster. Like in blue team of Deck-9 plasma balls can bounce on walls and kils ennemy tank whithout seeing them. Don't waste too much on shoots. It reload a bit faster but it is still slow, range is limited too.

 

Shaft 5/10

 

Shaft isn't a good defender when its not hidden. Shaft is strong but it can easily be killed on his side. Hide behind walls or hide in bushes. It can be a good defender but his ability to turn and reload is bad. Use it if you like snipers!

 

 

 

 

Wasp 1/10

 

This is the worst hull to defense. Low health, ligth, it can easily flipp down. With isida it could be better than other weapon, due to his fast speed wasp can quickly heal people. Do not take this or you will be like a mult.

 

Hornet 6/10

 

Hornet is good at small map defense. But in big map it's very bad. Hornet is a attacking tank not a defending tank. Try to do not use it at defense.

 

Hunter 7/10

 

Hunter is good at defense but this hull nobody use it. We don't like his speed and protection. Hunter have a good speek and good armor. It will not be easily killed like an hornet and it is faster than viking. Good defender.

 

Dictator 5/10

 

It have a good acceleration, turns fast but big size. In Sandbox we can even shoot a dictator when he is under us. This tank could block druggers. Whith a fast acceleration, you can run out of drugger range faster. His big size makes him easy to hit.

 

Viking 8/10

 

Low size, good health, this is one of the best tank to defense. You can find viking freeze combo often at the base. I like it very much. This is the second best tank for defending.

 

Titan 7/10

 

This is an epic tank. Faster than mammoth and a bit less health. This is an unpopular tank. To block ennemy is easy. It will survive more time than dictator and that helps your teamates to kill the drugger.

 

Mammoth 9/10

 

Best tank for defending, strongest, and at m3 380 hp is alot. If this tank stays on a flag, enemy can't push you. Your low speed had difficulties to catch other tanks. With freeze this is an deadly machine. Best defender.

 

                                                                                                                               

 

Let me disagree. You said Wasp is the "worst" hull for defense and you rated it 1/10. Didn't you think about the fact that you can "troll" the enemy attackers effectively with it? If the defender is going to act like a "statue" standing on the flag, then Wasp is not good for that, but in defense also means moving in the base and actively being engaged in killing the enemy tanks. Wasp's job in defense would be trolling - moving fast in the base and shooting the enemy attackers can really be annoying.

That's MY opinion, though...

Guide to Smoky

 

 

Smoky is a mid-long range weapon along with thunder, Unlike thunder, smoky does not have splash damage, it can only effect one tank at a time,but smoky's damage decreases in range,the best maps to play with smoky would be small to medium, Examples: Island and Silence. As we all know smoky M0 is provided for recruits at the beginning of the game along with hunter and green paint.

 

Pros:

1.) Fast reloading 

2.) Critical shots 

3.) Can knock off your enemy's shot/aim.

Cons:

1.) Can only damage one person at a time.

2.) Shots damage decreases in distance.

3.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hulls with smoky:

Wasp is economical at any modification and easy to operate. Wasp and smoky are a common tank for the first few rank of the game, this hull and turret combined aren't recommended for defence, but perfect for attacking and taking flags.

 

Rating in game modes with Wasp and Smoky:

CTF: 7.5/10

TDM:

DM:

 

 

Hornet is a stable tank and will works well with any weapon,

 

 

 

 

Hunter and smoky are the first provided weapon and hull at the very first rank, Recruit,Smoky and hunter together is a stable combo,hunters

The ultimate guide to: Freeze

 

Freeze isn’t the turret with most damage, or the one with super futuristic looks like Ricochet, it’s just there. A lot of players say freeze is an underpowered turret, with not enough damage and rubbish effects, but I disagree. For those who are skilled enough, they can rule the battle with this unstoppable locomotive.

Basic knowledge:

The most common thing you need to know is to turn your turret. Turn your turret by pressing the buttons Z,X,C

Freeze doesn’t shoot in a straight line. It shoots like a cone shape, so you can damage tankers not only to your left and right, but also above and below you.

Specific Technics:

A technic I like to call the spin-around-tank tactic. You spin around an enemy while you fire, making the enemy impossible to shoot you. That way, you receive a minimum damage and a very high D/L. Of course, this only works for light and medium hulls, as heavy hulls are too slow.

This technic is quite simple, when attacking an enemy, try to get your turret as close to it as possible, because the closer your turret is when shooting, the higher the damage is. But don’t attack him from straight behind, attack him from the side so he won’t be able to use mines to kill you.

Combinations:

Light Hulls:

Like a lot of other turrets, the majority of players like to use it with light hulls. It is suitable in all game modes, but light hulls are only for attack; most of the time defending is going to turn out to be a disaster.

DM: Freeze your enemies while spinning around them so you don’t get any damage. If you find out that you can’t kill your enemy, run away while he/she is still freezed  7.5/10

TDM: Very good for causing trouble in enemy bases. Can deal immense amount of damage with supplies. When you run out of “fuel”, just retreat into midfield and wait till the bar charges back to full.  7/10

CTF: Best for attacking. You can just steal the flag and run away.  You can also hide behind buildings and attack enemies when they come in your base, but you have little health and can be easily killed 9/10

CP: Don’t be in the center of attention. You will get killed easily. Try getting to the point with full health, then blast all the enemies with ice!  8/10

Supplies: I strongly recommend you not to use nitro in all the supplies. It makes the hull super hard to drive and you are most likely to flip. Instead, use something like double armor or double damage. When the enemy flag is already taken, use double damage and clear out the whole enemy base, then spawn-kill as many people as you can. If enemy flag is not taken, it is advised to find a double armor/damage drop box and activate the other supply (eg. When you pick up double armor, use double damage. When you pick up double armor, use double damage)

Freeze-Wasp 8.5/10

Wasp is the fastest hull, thus making it very useful in CTF’s. Wasp can easily capture flags. Get a tank to create diversion, and as soon as the tankers return their flag, you take the flag, run off, and leave them in the dust. Even if there are some people trying to stop you, just a quick freeze and they will never catch up. But beware of railguns! One that is micro-upgraded enough can kill you in 1 shot.

 

Freeze-Hornet 9/10

Hornet is more maneuverable then wasp, it also has more health to survive and the shape makes the tank harder to flip. Hornet is an all-round hull, it can be used in all situations and battles.   

Medium hulls:

Medium hulls equipped with freeze can play well in any game mode, any position in battle, it does not limit what you can and cannot do in battle.

DM: Medium hulls are perfect with freeze in DM’s, they give you health to survive longer and you don’t lose much speed compared to light hulls 8/10

TDM: Same as DM, but this time you will have teammates to help you. Also when you run out of charge and the enemy is still alive, you can just run away and let your teammates kill the enemy instead of letting the enemy deal a whole lot of damage before finally killing him. 8.5/10

CTF: Great in tight and cramped maps, because medium/long ranged weapons can’t shoot at you. he extra health compared to light hulls are a great boost too.

CP: Covered in Tips

1 v 1: Medium hulls can duel any turret and hull.

Supplies: Medium hulls are awesome with supplies. Huge difference is seen in terms of health compared to Hornet. With all three supplies activated, it has more health then a Mammoth, speed like hornet and damage overpowering firebird.  8.5/10

Freeze-Hunter 8/10

Hunter’s stats were straight in the middle. It had satisfying speed while armor was not an issue. The shape of the tank also makes it harder to flip

Freeze-Viking 9/10

With its great health and good speed, Viking can rule in any battle mode, in any map. Slight advantage in armor when compared to Hunter, but has less speed.

Freeze-Dictator 7.5/10

Dictator’s height lets you destroy tanks with height advantage, but dictator’s clumsy shape is also a huge con, it makes your tank much easier to be shot and it is very hard to shoot tanks below you. Dictator is often debated whether it is a medium or heavy hull, so it is suited better for defending as it is in the middle

Heavy hulls:

Heavy hulls are the least seen with freeze, because it is very hard to attack with it, so  But always remember 1 thing when using it: you can never kill medium/long ranged weapons far away, so it is good to play with heavy hulls in medium maps like Noise, because obstacles protect you from these weapons. Also, heavy hulls equipped with Freeze are not suitable at all for DM’s and TDM’s. Medium and long ranged weapons can kill you easily.

CTF: Most of the time heavy hull combos are used for defense, with a heavy hull sitting on the flag, it is almost impossible to push it and get the flag, much less equipped with Freeze. 8/10

CP:  Remember that you are always in center of attention, so when someone tries to shoot you, don’t hide, continue going. Though it would be good if you can mark down the spot of person who is shooting you, you can tell your teammates and get them to kill the enemy for you. Once you reach the point, do your best to clear out all enemies close to it. If the point is already captured, it is advised to hide behind obstacles and come out of your hiding place when enemies come. 6.5/10

1 v 1:  Heavy hulls are only good when your facing short ranged weapons like yourself. That way, they have to come to you and you can take advantage of that. But if your enemy is something light and long/medium ranged, then Heavy hulls aren’t the best choice 6.5/10

Drugs: Heavy hulls are amazing when it comes to drugs. In CTF’s you no longer have to defend, attacking will be a good option too; You have a lot of armor so most of the time you don’t need to activate double armor, you just need to activate double damage. In CP’s you can also attack with great efficiency. But on the other hand, don’t use mines in CP, because a tank can spawn anywhere in a map when playing CP, so they can spawn inside you! 8.5/10

Freeze-Titan 8/10

Titans only useful advantage against Mammoth is that it can constant check if the “defending lines” have been breached, and the speed allows it to put mines everywhere, making the defense impossible to beat.

Freeze-Mammoth 8.5/10

If you want to be the monster that sits on the flag and kills anybody trying to take it, Mammoth is definitely the right choice. Its health is devastating, and with double armor, you just cannot kill it.

Playing against other weapons:

• Firebird- When facing a firebird, don’t just go straight on and face each other, most likely you will lose the fight. Instead, use the spin-around-tank technic

• Isida- Isida also wins a fight when fighting straight on against a freeze, but with freeze you can outrange the isida so it can’t damage you at all. You can also fight it with the spin-around-tank tactic, but you would risk the Isida’s harmful nanobots.

• Hammer- Hammer fires rapidly and does a bunch of damage, and always keep that in mind when attacking one. Like Firebird and Isida, do you face this weapon straight on, use the spin-around-tank tactic.

• Twins- Beware of the fact that twins does not need to wait for reload, so even if you run out of fuel, twins will keep on shooting. The best way to counter twins is when you run out of fuel and the twins is still not destroyed, run away and reload. Come back for it later

• Ricochet-Ricochet’s ricochet effect is dangerous, but with the buttons “Q” and “E”, you can see the bullets before they hit you, dodge them and by the time you get to the ricochet, he already used up all his ammo! From here he should be fairly easy to kill.

• Smoky- Smoky does very little damage but do not underestimate it. Powerful criticals can destroy your tank in an instance. The best way to defeat this tank is by sneaking to his back via alternative routes and freeze him from behind.

• Thunder- The best way to get rid of this weapon is to sneak from behind and catch him by surprise. That way he can’t damage you and you’ve killed him. But if you get spotted, run to him and let him damage himself first, then start shooting.  Of course, if he misses the shot use the spin-around-tank technic to destroy the tanker

• Shaft- In my opinion, Shaft is the easiest weapon to deal with. When it is in scope mode, it can only see a bit in front of him/her. Go from alternative paths and freeze him from behind.

• Railgun: Hide behind buildings and obstacles, then try to fool the tanker into thinking you're hiding behind a building so it’ll stay where it is. Sneak behind him and enjoy freezing him to death.

Paints:

Paints will be an issue when you go into the battlefield. Some have crazy protections of freeze (up to 40%) while some are just a mere 5%. It is important to understand the full combo of an enemy before attacking him/her.

Specs:

Pros:

• Freeze effect

• M1, M2, M3 unlock earlier than most of the other turrets

• Unlock ranks are fairly close to each other

• Highest rotation speed in the game

• Better range than Isida

• Freeze effect is more powerful than Firebird’s afterburn.

Cons:

• Slow reload

• Less damage than Firebird

• Freeze effect can be countered by Firebird

• Without micro-upgrades, Freeze is a bit weak compared to other turrets in it's same modification

Tips:

• Stay out of open spaces as much as possible

• Don’t buy modifications at full price, buy them in sales

• You should micro-upgrade your freeze by a little bit, to beat people with the same rank as you

• Don’t too much micro-upgrades on m0-m2

• If you are playing CP with a medium/light hull, as soon as you capture the point go away from it because you are vulnerable to medium/long ranged weapons

• When fighting, use the buttons “Q” and “E” to view more things

• When trying to kill medium/long ranged enemies you cannot defeat, go from alternative paths and freeze him from behind.
