UPDATED LATEST POCKET TANK CHEATS

1. REPETITIVE USE OF A WEAPON:
------------------------------
-This cheat is valid for all weapons but works best on weapons whose explosion time
is considerably large(i.e.whose effect takes sometime, instead of momentary explosion)
like pin cushion,colorbomb,popcorn,hail-storm,napalm,
sprinkler and so on.As soon as you fire a weapon make a move (either backward or forward),
you can fire the weapon again as
soon as the move finishes.Again move and again fire.Thus you can fire a weapon four times.
-This works best when weapon is such that its scoring power is not badly affected by change
in accuracy of the aim i.e.which can attack the enemy tank from a distance or has good spread
over a wide area like color bomb,spider,napalm,
pineapple ,pin cushion,five shot, and so on.
-If you are fast enough,and if the effect of the previous weapon is still going on, after making
the move you can even adjust the angle or power of the repetitve weapon to be fired.
-You can score very high from a single shot(+repetitions!!) if you are in a accurate aim
position and placed such that making a move doesn't make you move and affect your position
i.e.when you are caught in a trough.The first weapon fired hits accurately,the repetition
hits accurately (because the "move" didn't make u move),the next repetition hits accurately and
so on till ur moves become zero.
-This can also be used to decrease the points of the CPU tank: As soon it fires,make it move by
the move button (yes,u can move the CPU player during its turn as per your wish!!) ,reduce its
power to 1,and fire the repetition which falls on itself(due to low power thus reducing its points,
repeat for more reduction) .
-u can also cover the opponent with mountain of mud using repetition of mudpie.

2.MAKE THE CPU PLAYER MOVE:
---------------------------
When the CPU player has fired ther weapon,u can make it move by the
move button to any positio u like. This can be used to move the opponent to a position where
ur aim is set.. or even move it such that its weapon falls on itself.

3.700 POINTS FROM SINGLE SHOT:
------------------------------
This works when it is possible to go close to the opponent .
This can be done on a PLAIN TERRAIN mostly. Move close to the enemy tank ,make your move
carefully so that ur final position is such that u partially overlap(not more than half of
tank's body) the enemy tank. Then point the turret towards the lower body of the enemy tank .
Then fire the PINCUSHION with 0 power and bang u get about 600 points,with PINEAPPLE,u can get
700 points,with spider and other "scattering"weapons too,u can get many points.

4.SELECTION OF WEAPONS:
-----------------------
This works irregularly. When the weapon shop is displayed , take a look
and make decision of which 10 weapons to take. Then as soon as u select ur 1st weapon,keep
clicking on the 2nd weapon u want to select (even while CPU is making its choice) keep clicking
on the 3,rd,4th,..decided weapons on u will get most (even all) of them.

5.U can score 200points from pincushion if u are very close (distance shorter than the spark
created by pin cushion approx 1cm or even 0 distance(it wont hurt u) ) and fire it.

6.REPETITIVE USE OF POWERFUL WEAPON AT COST OF LESS USEFUL WEAPONS- (works only with wheelmouse)
After firing a powerful weapon,if u want to preserve it for more use,then do this. After firing,
point the cursor to ur weapon in WEAPON LIST and scroll the mousewheel to change the weapon to
any less useful weapon u have like bouncy dirt,well digger,digger etc.
The computer takes this weapon as the fired one and deletes it from the list for next chance
while the powerful weapon is retained.
this can also be done on CPu's turn to waste its powerful weapons in leiu of weaker ones.

7.LONG MOVES-while making a move keep ur cursor on the "move" tab of the screen,u can keep
moving forward or backward as long as u keep scrolling the mousewheel up or down.



Bouncy Dirt and Fission Bomb combo:
-----------------------------------
Cover one side of the interior of a large crater with
Bouncy Dirt and hit the tank with a Fission Bomb while it
is at the bottom of the hole.
Note: Try using Mountain Movers and Crater Makers.

Pile Driver and Hailstorm combo:
--------------------------------
Hit the tank with a Pile Driver followed by a Hailstorm
(or Napalm).

Ground Shocker and Popcorn combo:
---------------------------------
Fire a Ground Shocker directly below your opponent's tank
to make the ground very rough. Then, fire a Popcorn nearby
and the bullets will bounce and multiply.

Hide underground:
-----------------
Fire a Digger at a steep angle so your tank slides down
into the ground. Use a dirt weapon to seal yourself in.

First select the weapon you want to use, do not unselect it, then fire the weapon with
the help of space, after firing change the weapon, now u fill find that the weapon u
fired will be instead of the weapon u changed.
ENJOY POCKET TANKS.

This little tip requires the full deluxe version of PT with all of the weapon packs.

This is great: Use the FUNNEL (the weapon that puts your opponent tank in a funnel
of bouncy dirt. Then hit them with the TRAIL BLAZER (a pretty pitiful weapon on flat
surfaces). As the TRAIL BLAZER bounces it releases little bombs that are only worth
1 point. However, when properly placed with the FUNNEL it contunues to bounce for
quite a while and can rack up 300 - 400 points! I went from loosing a match by 300
points to take the lead with 100 points to spare. Oh, this was found completly by
chance!
