Fliers are fun if you've got a better gun than the enemy and can sit atop a mountain and harass the enemy.

Granorke, yes, you're spot on. Currently using a grounded weapon platform because it's so cheap to build. For flyer, I'd suggest S-type gun to outrange ground targets, I'm saving up research points for L4 gun S-type myself.

I'm currently working on a good flyer. Flyers are good as long as you don't expect them to tank anything; instead, you should use your mobility and do things like cross mountains to circle the enemies. People have trouble hitting you if you surprise them, especially if other allies are shooting them from a different direction. Also, it's usually easier to get through the top of a tank than to get through the side, so you can kill people much faster.

I've got a strange beast. It's a platform made of armor with eight decent-speed wheels and six reasonably powerful guns. It's not particularly tanky (though a recent armor upgrade has made it surprisingly resilient, at least in the hard-kill department) but it's fast and reasonably maneuverable, and it can survive losing a surprising amount of bits. It's also hard to shoot, since the only things that stick up much are the pilot's seat (protected by a bunch of L2 armor prisms at the base) and the guns themselves. My usual tactics are to rush in and blaze the enemy, though I might try getting under them soon, by putting a lip on the front.

That sounds kind of funny to watch. A tank rams an enemy, flinging him far, far away.

My main tank resembles a TD (since we're still working off WoT) it has a strong frontal armor with 5 guns mounted atop near the middle-rear, the back side a ramp of plastic.  If the enemy pounds the armor I can take significant abuse, but I always lose my guns far more easily.  I'm seriously considering making a taller robo to cover the guns with a lip of armor, and probably sprinkle some headlamps across the surface to make it more difficult to see the turrets in specific.  It enjoys covered wheels as well.

Unfortunately, for a flipping attack, you need an enemy who has wheels on the front.  If your ramp makes contact with the other guy's hull, then it just collides.  I've had several allies attempt to ramp over my backside, which is why I built the ramp!  Unfortunately, most have armored fronts, and the armor contacts the ramp and just grinds.

I'm also looking over some of the upgraded hover blades.  They get some intense lifting power, are pretty cheap to research, and are smaller than wheels.  It should be possible to make hover tanks with covered bottoms that resist getting stuck against terrain, as well as some extra effort (read: helium) to make them actually capable of hover-flight.  It won't cross mountains, but it can let you peek over trenches.

One thing to really note: According to the youtubes, firing rate doesn't really improve beyond 4-ish guns.  They cycle at the same speed, so you can't make a chaingun.  If you have the choice, 4-5 of heavy guns will work best, so you can afford to lose a few and not slow down much.

Just loading this game up now. We'll see how it goes. Any beginner tips that I should know of?

Im going to assume a tank called "Armok Battlewagon" is another B12er

[Morrigi]

I'm going to have to redesign my armored car, the more shit I upgrade it with the less stable it gets. My wheelbase is too narrow.

That's my vehicle. I've just redone it to lower it to Tier 2 (was Tier 4) and fully armoured it with L1 and L2 armours.

EDIT: I was in a battle with you and killed you. :p

EDIT2: We were in the same team and got owned in open field. :c

Yeah, that match diddnt go particularly well. There is not much you can do as a guy on a wheel.

EDIT: VICTORY IS MINE!

[BuriBuriZaemon]

EDIT: VICTORY IS MINE!

Bravo! I purposedly tiered down to farm newbies, but apparently I've been getting Tier 3-4 battles anyway. >.>

[alexandertnt]

It does that. I just got dumped in a tier 3-10 match. Oh the horrors!

[Doomblade187]

I just built a cross between a pyramid and a battering ram. So this should be fun. Let's see how fast I get myself stuck on terrain.

EDIT: Dear gog. Need. More. Armor.

Is it down for anybody else? When I log in it gives me a "host not found" message.
