Tank Attack
Elevation is everything
Angle, power, wind — then find out.
Ranged artillery over rolling terrain. Wind, angle and power, exactly like the original dial.
About Tank Attack
Ranged artillery across rolling terrain, where every shot is an experiment you learn from. The hill between you and the target hides the easy answer, so bracketing the range is the proper technique.
How to play Tank Attack
Lob arcing shells over the terrain onto the advancing tanks.
Controls
- · Tap ANGLE − / + to set elevation.
- · Hold FIRE to build power and release to shoot.
Rules & scoring
- · Direct hits score; the wind changes every shot, so range-finding matters.
Tips
- · Note where your last shell landed and adjust angle before power.
Retro inspiration
Artillery duels were built around a dial you turned by hand, which is exactly the feel this one is chasing.
