What is Artillery: Fire support
Take command of a tank and engage in a cerebral artillery duel where every shot counts. Master the art of trajectory to outmaneuver and outgun your rival.
How to Play
Adjust the angle and power of your cannon using the on-screen controls, then fire to launch your shell. Observe the arc and adjust your next shot based on where your previous projectile landed.
Tips for Playing
- Fire a test shot first to gauge the distance and terrain elevation.
- Watch the wind indicator (if present) and compensate for its effect on your shell's path.
- Try to land shots on the enemy's turret or top armor for maximum damage.
- Use the terrain to protect yourself by firing over hills rather than through them.
- Adjust your power more than your angle when the target is far away.
