-CottonmoutH- Tips #3 Taking raids
I'm sure this one will be helpful for alot of you newcomers who see the teams running around everyday trying to clear the map. Follow these rules and show them you won't be bullied around!
1. Don't run away. You will never get better by running, you don't get points for running, and it will just make them want to come after you more. Stand your ground, fire back, and do your best!
2. Shooting back. tHis is the main part of raid taking. You have to know the situation and how many shots you can safely get off without getting hit too many times so that you can't teleport. If you're being hit with 1-4 duals, you can usually take 2-3 shots before you have to look for fuel. If you have a full tank of fuel, always try to shoot back at least once. If being attacked by 5 or more tanks, you will not be able to shoot back as many times safely, so use your best judgement but always try to push yourself to the limits!

Raid taking tips continued.
3.Getting fuel. When you teleport, you want to stay in a pattern as much as possible so you don't retrace your steps or run into fake fuel. If there are no yellow dots on your map screen don't panic, just teleport a short distance and radar as soon as you land. Most of the time there will be fuel there waiting for you!
4.Driving. I try to stay away from driving as much as possible in raids because it takes longer and gives your enemy time to register their moves. Even when moving to fuel, once you've practiced Tip #1(June 11th) enough you'll be able to jump from fuel to fuel with ease!
5.Armor shields. I talked about this a few days ago in my bonus tip(June 11th). Armor shields are very important! You want to use them only when you have to, so save them for when you get really low or when you need fuel to teleport to your next battleground.
I will have many more tips on taking raids in the days to come, so get out there and practice these tips for now!

I've been a top 50 general on Castles back in the bonus.com days... Willing to change my tank name to align with any team. I didn't want to spend too much time on Ralppie but enough to prove my merit to get to Major in little time.
