| While it may seem like obvious
advice, you should always have your front mounted
weapons linked. You’ll be doing twice the
damage with every hit. Like you, the enemy
takes damage in specific areas. If a
creeper’s damage meter is in the red, that
simply means that one area of his car is severely
damaged. Try to target your enemy on one side -
hit ‘em hard and hit ‘em fast, but hit
‘em consistently.
The rear is a good bet, as staying behind a
car is simpler than consistently getting a clean
shot at the side. Another useful tactic - and
this is where a healthy amount of front armor
becomes helpful - is to throw your car in reverse
and take any opponents out as they follow you. If
you’re going backwards, nine times out of
ten they’ll single-mindedly chase you,
regardless of the damage you’re doing to
their front end.
On the other hand, you should be very wary of
your weak points. Practice keeping your
"good side" toward your opponent, so
their shots are hitting your strongest areas.
Finally, learn to react quickly to the sound
of incoming missiles. If you don’t have a
radar jammer, shut off your engine when you hear
a heat seeker approaching - unless it was a
direct shot, the missile will sail on by without
even scratching your paint.
