Edit: I am looking back from the future sifting through loads of old stuff. I decided to just make this guide public as an artifact from when this game was good.


So, you may be thinking, "Another new guide? Really," but this one is better than some. I have some vehicle building tips, some fighting tips and some overall tips. Quick tip, when buying GC, use the RUP not dollars. Its cheaper!

Tanks[/b]
Some tips on building tanks are:
1)Have the front wheels both down 1-2 blocks lower than the back wheels. This helps because now that your tank is tilting back the enemy has to go through more blocks to get to the same area.
2) Encase wheels. You need them to move your tank.
3)When replacing old armour with new armour, dont just try replacing the whole front, then both sides, then the top with solid. It takes forever. Use a grid pattern. It makes it almost as strong, and is cheaper and faster. In this pretend the black is old and the white in new armour.




Hovercraft
Some hovercraft buidling tips are:
1) Have the bottom armoured, not the top. I know I know, you see the top, but what about all the tanks BELOW you? It also helps with 2.
2) Keep a low center of gravity, now if you have 1 done, its easy.
3) Have your propellers incased on the sides and bottom. Dont leave them just on the sides. You need them to move and stay off the ground where they can shoot into your exposed top.
4) Have your pilot seat near the top, with his head sticking up over everything else, with your armoured bottom you should get 2-3 layers of armour under him, thats good.

Sattalites
These are the things that just float up.
1) Use railguns or smgs, "Smgs?" Yes, smgs. Use them by going *click* *click* click* at about once a second using 2 smgs max. And make sure you are right clicking and holding rightclick at the same time for accuracy.
2) Don't use sheilds, only a little protection against smgs and costs a ton.
3) Don't make it big, you only need about 10 helium max, 1-2 smgs or 1-4 railguns, and only like 6-10 other blocks.


Planes
I don't know these very well, but this is what I know.
1. Do not use railguns. They will be VERY innacurate.
2. Fast and small. The key to planes.
3. Don't have a radar, only a radar jamer. The radar will set off the enemies jammers alerting them that an enemy is near.
4. Try to have your wings almost the highest part of your craft.
5. Have at leasrt 4 wings, in pairs so that they are directly across from each other.
6. This is mainly just to help you pilot better, but try putting a rudder at the back of your plane. It helps with the sideways drifting after a turn.


Walkers
1. Have 3 or more legs.

Overall
1. Try to stay near your allies.
2. Rarely just charge in.
3. Spot. Its easy, and gets you some more money.
4. Dont sneak past and try to cap the enemies base, it may work, sometimes, but a lot of the times a person or two will come back. And the ones who come back are usally the good ones.
5. Always have a really low teir bot if you have one at T5 or higher, just incase you have a really bad battle and dont have enough for repairs.

Plasmas
This is my area of expertise.
1. Try and have cover near at all times.
2. Once you fire, unless you kill the enemy posing a threat to you and there is nobody else at the time that would shoot you, get into cover.
3. Don't face down smgs unless you have cover. And only then do you dive out of cover fire and go back into cover.

Here is my bot, sadly im at T5 which has pink armour. D=


Railguns
My second best.
1. Always, with whatever you make, make it small.
2. If you put this on a ground/hover, make it fast.
3. I recomend making it on a sattalite, one that floats up really high and is slow.
4. This route is very expensive, and fires slow, so take your time going down this route.


Smgs
This is the route for the less skillful, it has no bullet drop and for some reason even though the graphic of the bullet doesnt hit instantly, it registers that way.
1. Fire in bursts of half a second. Using this you only need 3-4 max.
2. If they get really close, dont do the fire in bursts. Just lay it on them. Tear them up. For this you want about 8, 6 is the max firerate but you want to be able to lose effectively 4 before there is a noticable drop.
3. Try to get behind enemy lines, it will give you 1 kill most likely before they even notice.

Overall
1. SPOT SPOT SPOT!!!! It gives you money and ups your teams ability to find and kill enenmies. And its easy. Just use Q while looking at an enemy.
2. SHOOT DOWN PLANES AND SATTALITES!!!! They WILL kill you!!!

Tanks
My best spot. The easyest spot too.
1. This vehicle type is best for shooting at a guy a bit, then withdrawing so then he doesnt know where he is going to get attacked from next.
2. Stay with allies, unless you are a railgun tank, then you find a good nice hidden spot and camp there for a few kills, then go find another.
3. It's simple to use a tank, just find out more over a few games.

Hovercraft
The most missused vehicle here. And my second best.
1. Use your mobility and speed, curtisy of being able to go over a lot of objects that tanks can't, to get behind the enemy quickly.
2. Don't get in long battles. If it looks like the battle is going to get big, pull out, get around the enemy, and kill those who retreat. Because most tanks that retreat will be almost dead and a good shooting to them will kill em.
3. Cap the enemy base.

Sattalite
1. Go behind the enemy They wont look for a sattalite over their base, sadly unless you can land you cant cap their base though. Travel by the edges to get to their base though.
2. Fire at the enemies that are attacking your allies. It may save a few allied lives.
3. Fire at the enemies that arent moving. They make easyer targets.

Planes
1. Fly High.
2. If there is a lone enemy, dive bomb them. Its where you dive steeply at them, fire your plasmas, then pull up to go back really high and while you are pulling up fire one more shot if they are alive.
3. Remember, your guns dont turn instantly, if you turn sharply, wait 1-2 seconds before fireing.


Walkers
1. Your legs can really be fragile, so hide. Climb on an overhang, shoot an enemy, then go to the top of it.
2. Don't forget the crouch, shift, it can help. If your behind cover a bit lower than you, crouch!
3. If your behind cover a bit taller than you, jump, and while in mid-air, shoot!

1. Use shields when building on most everything. But buy them after you finished the main part of it.
2. Early on go try all the weapon types and the tanks and hovercraft. Its easyer then. But once you have a vehicle hit T5, don't keep switching, its EXPENSIVE.
3. If your in a large battle as a tank or something, and then a plane comes and lets say your using smgs, pull back some and shoot down the plane. Then can cause havoc against plasmas.
4. Use alignment rectifyers. They help. A ton.
5. If your base is being captured, go help stop it, don't run to the enemy base and try to cap it first. It almost never works.
6. Don't abandon an ally when its a 2v3 or something like that.
7. In T5 and above, always keep at least 700 RP in reserve in case you have a bad game and lose money.
8. Sometimes more guns isnt the answer, sometimes it's better to sell the old ones and get the higher teir ones.
