    So, how exactly does Mini-Tank work? I only know of 9 ways to use it at different distances and different sides.

    What I know is, Mini-Tank fires a shot with varying power at the peak of its trajectory. If fired with angles between 181 or 359, it does not fire a shot.

    What I do not know is: Which way will it spin when fired? At what power will it fire the shot at?

    I believe with the additional information of the mechanics of Mini-Tank, I can discover all whole new range of various ways to use it, without the bother of trial and error.

    Thank you :)

    i think it's best to shoot it at an angle of 60-70 that seems like best way mini-tank.gif

    Sometimes I fire Mini-Tank with high power and it lobs the shot lightly. Not completely sure how it works.

    Found this out randomly.
    Get a little close to the tank, not too much. about medium range I guess.

    and then

    Since you're shooting it with a lot of power, it will reach its max point faster. That means that the tank won't spin much in the air and so the shot that comes out won't deviate as much. :)

    Firing it with a higher power makes it spin faster, therefore more spins are performed per second. I'm not sure what is the velocity/spin ratio of the Mini-Tank so you may still be correct. Thanks for the information, it is gladly appreciated.

    ^Noticed for awhile that when you shoot mt to the left, it generally spins faster than if you are shooting right. With regards to the lob, I was probably thinking specifics, like a mt shot to the right that's close to the vertical (although I believe the lob happens more with shots to the right anyway). :confused:

    Power 44 Angle 32. That aims right and does a short lob upwards. Seems to support your statement but that is only short range. Not completely sure about it with higher powers. It's happened to me before when using high power, think it was aiming right as well.

    100,77 for the right and 97,98 and also 100,110 for the left. Doing these is much more simple not having to remember the power and angle and distance. 100 power and a set angle where you know it is going to hit. Only one with power is dropping 3 power to keep them lined up better.

    Interesting, I'll have to try that soon. Sometimes when they are on the left side, it's hard to use cause they want to get so close and this would help.

    100 Power, 2 Angle only works on the bottom of the map, right? I was thinking the shot fired from the Mini-Tank, will cause the Mini-Tank to miss.

    There are a ton of different possibilities based on the power and angle of the shot, I think you just have to practice and find them in the firing range. Personally, for the rare times I get it from the crate, I found that simple 45 degrees and around 50 power worked well.

    They didn't seem to want to hit together with that angle/power.

    For the 45 angle shots with it, all I could find was 58 power, 45 angle left and 70 power 45 angle right. Elevation for you or the enemy tank would through the 45 angle shots off though.

    We know that angles to the right do not work for angles to the left. What could be the reasoning behind this? Could it be that it spins faster in one direction? I think that is possible and have yet to try it out.

    It is because the minitank is programmed to be facing right, 45 angles when shot...

    Apologies, I do not own Mini-Tank. Therefore I have not made very many observations about it. Including what you have stated.
