Polygon CP:

Spawn, drive towards the center, randomly shoot at anyone who gets in your way, die, repeat. 

Ok fine, some real tactics for polygon CP:

 

Always be observant. Since enemies can spawn practically anywhere, you have to always be checking your back, making sure no one is creeping up from behind. Don't just spawn and drive towards the center, there is a safer way to do this. There are what I like to call the 'Alleyways' behind the buildings. If you are careful, you can drive around almost the whole map while being covered. Use these alleyways if you have a tank that does peek-a-boom tactics, like hammer or railgun, and you will be very successful. 

If you drive a close range tank, like firebird/freeze or twins, you should still try to remain covered. A freeze or firebird is always good in the 'death pit' where Point A is at. But you don't want to die before you get there, sometimes it is better to kill off tanks surrounding the point. There are two main sniping spots for railgun and shaft:

In the latter picture, right above this sentence,  is a good camping spot for many turrets. Ricochet, smoky, and twins can get direct shots into the 'death pit', and it is extremely hard to get hit by people in the 'death pit'. This is a great place to guard the Point.

^I'm not sure if shaft is a good weapon to use in polygon CPs, even with mines, it's hard to defend a spot =/ Somehow the freeze creeps up to me. I will just use rico or short range weapons there from now on.

If you're in a close range map, such as ping-pong or island, a good combo to use is wasp fire. Fire provides a decent attack plus wasp's speed allows you to escape with not to much damage from your opponent. This combo could also be pretty good in polygon although you have to be pretty fast, agile, and know your map inside-out.

close range necroposts are op...
