Editing Alpha Junkers' Driving Tips (section)

== Advanced tips ==
* '''Buffer''': During hairpin turns and sharp corners, if an opponent is between you and a wall (or basically, the opposite side of where you are supposed to turn), use this to your advantage. As you powerslide, he will act as a cushion to buffer the rest of your force. You ''may'' take some damage in your armor, but you are less likely to smash into the wall, while at the same time maintaining an even greater speed than before. The best way to accomplish this trick is to maintain as close side-by-side proximity to your opponent as possible before powersliding, so you don't lose armor, and you still can latch on to him for buffering support.
* '''Tail-twisting/Head-twisting''': This is a cheap trick. The idea is to try to stay on either side of opponent, and your tail must either be facing his head, or your head facing his tail. From there, turn your car accordingly so you distort his sense of direction. For example, if your tail is at his head, and you are on his left, turning left will cause him to veer right (assuming he is going straight). Likewise, if your head is at his tail, and you are on his left, turning right will cause him to oversteer too much to the left. This trick takes practice, but in races where cars are moving very fast, this is a good tactic to use to disorientate your opponent. It is, however, a very dirty trick, so don't do it too often if you don't want to make a public enemy of yourself.
* '''Momentum''': Use momentum to give yourself some additional speed on the last turn, or wherever you think possible. Momentum is the turning force when you attempt to powerslide. It increases the speed at which your car moves in a direction. The greater you can hold the momentum, the farther you can actually push your car. Just be aware that this causes over-steering very easily, so use it only when necessary.
* '''Damage speed boost''': dangerous trick to use during Death Races, but IMO a good tactic nonetheless. The trick is to get the enemy to fire at you, so you propel a few more MPH. Lighter vehicles work best with this trick, and naturally heavy guns are likely to push an opponent further. Also of note with heavy weapons is that they slow you down e.g. HMG or HGG. Turn a strong flank (or rear) towards an enemy that is firing at you to get that extra oomph in speed. Rear firing weapoms will also increase your speed. Take care when and where you shoot your weapons! The boost in speed you get from the recoil of rear weapons may make you lose control in the corner you are trying to turn through. (Dropped weapons have no effect on speed or heading due to recoil.)--[[User:JD|JD]] 01:02, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
* '''Speed is LIFE!''': In most combats you will be moving at medium speed (20/40 mph). If you find yourself in a situation where you are taking more shots than you are giving.... '''GET OUT OF DODGE AND MANEUVER!''' Use the terrain to block incoming shots if possible and try for a kill shot when you can. Running away from a lost fight is not considered cowardice... It's considered smart! --[[User:JD|JD]] 08:58, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
