Artillery: Direct fire
Artillery: Direct Fire brings the timeless duel of tank warfare to your browser. You and an opponent take turns positioning your cannon and setting trajectory to rain shells down on each other. It's a test of geometry, patience, and nerve—each shot a calculated gamble against wind and distance. The game strips away the fluff, leaving pure tactical shooting. Adjust the angle and muzzle velocity to lob projectiles across the terrain, and watch them arc toward the enemy's position. With each successful hit, the pressure mounts; one mistimed shot can turn the tide, making every decision count in this battle of wits.

What is Artillery: Direct fire
Step into the gunner's seat and face off in a classic artillery duel. Master the art of trajectory and outsmart your rival to claim victory.
How to Play
Set your cannon's angle and power, then fire to launch shells at the enemy tank. Take turns with your opponent, adjusting your aim based on distance and terrain.
Tips for Playing
- Start with a medium angle and power to get a feel for the trajectory.
- Account for the distance to your target—farther targets need more power or a higher arc.
- Observe your opponent's shots to judge wind conditions and adjust accordingly.
- Aim for direct hits rather than trying to graze the enemy; landing a solid hit does more damage.
- Change your position between turns if possible, to make it harder for your opponent to zero in.
