It is famous because it has a wide variety of classic games you can play with your family, friends, and acquaintances to make your interactions more fun. Tanks is one of the 24 games available on Gamepigeon. If you love playing Tanks with your friends but have never had your winning moment, we can help you win. This article is all about Tanks on iMessage. We will explain how to play it and how to win it, potentially. Let’s dive in!
How To Play Tanks on iMessage?
Gamepigeon is one of the best apps for iMessage games. There are 24 games available in the app that users can play with their friends, but the most popular among them has to be Tanks. The prerequisite for playing Tanks is that you and your opponent must have an iPhone or iPad because it is an iMessage game; available on iPhone or iPad. So, when they say, “if you don’t have an iPhone, you don’t have an iPhone,” they mean it for such particular situations. Another important thing is that the iMessage feature must be on both of your devices. Check your device settings for that. Now, to play Tanks, follow these steps:
How To Win Tanks on iMessage
The game looks simple, as you have to destroy your opponent’s tanks before they do yours. Each of you got three lifelines. You can claim your victory by destroying your opponent’s tank before they do. As simple as it sounds, the game is not easy to play. If you check out YouTube, you will see people (Sheldon Cooper in their own right) deploying physics concepts to formulate the winning equation. Winning Tanks requires the right tactics, as you have to fire your bomb strategically by aiming at a certain angle with the right power, considering the wind’s situation. Here are some guidelines:
You must set the angle and the power level to ensure your bomb hits your opponent. Between you and your opponent’s tanks lies a big castle. So you must set the angle and power by considering the castle. Once you set the desired angle and power, you can tap the “Fire” button to drop your bomb into your opponent’s tank. Wind direction and magnitude are other variables that affect your aim.
Some Tricks That Can Help You
Let me share with you the little tricks I have formulated after my extensive defeat (shameful ones) playing the game with my friends. Try these out, as you might get lucky and break your loss streaks eventually (perhaps).
Tip #1: Practice, Practice, Practice
You can never excel in Tanks until you practice (unless you know some secret quantum physics formula). As they say, “Practice makes you perfect,” so practice. Have lots of defeats to find your winning strategy.
Tip #2: Care For One or Two Factors Only
Tbh, I do not manipulate power as such. I tweak my angles. I generally set the power to a level that can prevent me from hitting the castle. 59 power level is okay for me as it prevents my bomb from hitting the tower. Anything less than that can hit the tower. The angle is the most critical factor for me. So, I play with my angles. The next important variable for me is the direction and magnitude of the wind. Generally, I hit my opponent when the wind blows in the opposite direction. I keep my angle at around 69 degrees when the wind is away from me and has a low magnitude (1 or 2 arrows). If the wind is strong (7 arrows or more) and in opposite directions, I move my angle more than 70 degrees. Then, I say the name of Lords of Tanks and hit the “Fire” button, and I kid you not, every time it hits my opponent’s tank. This mind-churned formula always reaps desired results for me.
The Takeaway
The takeaway is that there is no scientific formula for winning Tanks on iMessage. You can play and practice and then can be able to devise your strategy. I shared the simple strategy that my mind stirred over the years. Try it out! Do let us know if it works for you as well.
