Mastering Angled Attacks: Here Are Ways To Fully Utilize Angles In DDTank To Leave Your Enemies In Shock and Awe

Hitting your enemies in DDTank can’t always be relied upon sheer luck and instincts because most of the time, it needs careful thinking and some sort of analysis. While there are certain formulas that players recommend to their fellow players, it’s always good to know what you’re actually doing in the battlefield.

Angle can be fully utilized when you know how to adjust it accordingly despite your distance from the enemy as well as the wind force that affect your chances of hitting the enemy. And for that, we made a short guide so that you are less-likely to miss a shot. Check this out.

30 Degree Angle Strike

It’s not easy to hit your enemy even when you know the distance. Only coordinate with some play strategies can let you shoot with great accuracy. This strategy is about 30 degree angle strike.

Just as its name implies, you can attack with 30 degree angle. Albeit with limitations, it can greatly increase your hit rate.

During a battle, use “↑ ↓” to adjust the angle in the dial to 30, and measure distance from your enemy. After measurement, refer to the following formula to adjust attack power. Below is the power of different distances when using the 30 degree angle strike:

In this table, power below corresponds to distance above.

Remember formula is not enough though. You cannot ignore another important element——wind force.

So let’s talk about wind force now. The wind power of 30 degree angle strike is tailwind+ headwind-（+- angle).For tailwind, on the basis of original 30 degree, you need to increase the angle with a figure which is approximately the same as wind force; for headwind, on the basis of original 30 degree, you need to decrease the angle with a figure which is approximately the same as wind force. For instance, if tailwind is 2，distance is 10，then the angle should be 32，power is 47.5; for headwind, the angle should be 28, and the power is the same as tailwind.

Basic formula：30 +- windforce=angle (tailwind+ headwind -)

The corresponding attack power can be found from the table above. You should applause for yourself when you have fully mastered the skill of 20 degree angle strike. Then, would you like to have a look at some other strategies?

50 Degree Angle Strike

This is the strategy for 50 degree angle attack. You can learn the skill of precise strike by 50 degree angle.

During a battle, use “↑ ↓” to adjust the angle in the dial to 50, and measure distance between you and your enemy. After measurement, refer to the following formula to adjust attack power. Below is the power of different distances when using the 50 degree angle strike:

The power of 50 degree angle strike is close to that of 30 degree angle strike, the only difference is wind force. The increased/decreased figure of angle is twice of the wind force. For instance, if distance is 20, tailwind force is 2.5, then the angle should be 55; if headwind force is 2.5, then the angle should be 45.

Basic formula: 50 -+ (2 times wind force) = angle (tailwind+ headwind -)

The corresponding attack power can be found from the table above.

65 Degree Angle Strike

Prior strategies do not have a high angle, but this one is not the same. Considering that 65 degree is a relatively high angle, what will the difference be?

During a battle, use “↑ ↓” to adjust the angle in the dial to 65, and measure distance between you and your enemy. After measurement, refer to the following formula to adjust attack power. Below is the power of different distances when using the 65 degree angle strike:

The power of 65 degree angle strike is greater than 30 and 50 degree. The way to adjust angle is the same as 50 degree angle strike. The increased/decreased figure of angle is twice of the wind force. For instance, if distance is 20, tailwind force is 2.5, then the angle should be70; if headwind force is 2.5, then the angle should be 60 degree.

Basic formula: 65 -+ (2 times wind force) = angle (tailwind+ headwind -)

The corresponding attack power can be found from the table above.

When you have mastered all the angled attacks, you’ll be confident that you won’t miss any shot but anything can happen during a battle. You may face an enemy with far more knowledge in angled attacks than you, but don’t be afraid to show what you got. It’ll surely be a more challenging game for you.

NOTE: We do not own all the strategies stated above. This post serves as a quick and easy to understand guide for DDTank players who want to master high angled attacks during battles.
