have a direct line of fire towards the IR Receiver located on the front of your opponent’s tank in order to
register a “hit.”
3. If you successfully “hit” your opponent with your Cannon, one of their LED indicator lights will go out.
If firing your machine gun, you must “hit” your opponent 5 times in order to make one of their LED indicator
lights go out.
Note: If you “hit” your opponent less than 5 times with your machine gun and then “hit” them with your
Cannon, the machine gun counter will reset to 0.
• When “hit,” your tank will shutter from the “impact” and make sounds.
• After being “hit” by your opponent’s Cannon, you will have 8 seconds to escape before being able to get
“hit” again.
• After being “hit” by your opponent’s machine gun, you will have 5 seconds to escape before being able to get
“hit” again.
• When “hit,” some functions of your tank may become disabled, just like a real tank. After 2 “hits,” (2 LED
indicator lights go out), your turret and machine gun will become disabled and will not turn.
