tanked and spanked

Here Tscmoo has discovered that Tyr built near the edge of its low-ground main base and is vulnerable to attack from outside. Blasting down buildings with no losses helped Tscmoo in its easy win.

Tscmoo’s tank fires into Tyr’s base from outside

Did Tscmoo’s tank just happen to wander into a good position, or did Tscmoo analyze the situation to find the opportunity?

Noticing when you can shoot across a barrier is a great skill. I’ve seen other bots miss chances for free kills with tanks and even with dragoons. And it’s not hard—all you have to do is figure out what’s in range from where, and recognize simple cases where it gives you an advantage. Human players are always on the lookout for chances like that.
