 * Most tactics with the Destroyer apply to the Annihilator. This tank is perfectly suitable for ramming builds as well, due to its extreme recoil balancing out its lower Movement Speed. It can surprise tanks using its recoil to propel itself to the enemy. The Annihilator is also somewhat effective for farming in the Pentagon Nest, as it can take credit for killing Alpha Pentagons when they are at fairly low health with its high Bullet Damage/Penetration.
 * Long-range Sniper classes, such as the Stalker or Ranger, may present a problem in the fact that the high-speed, high-damage bullets they fire may strike the players sides; it is generally best to avoid these tanks. They might not be much of a problem to fight if their build has low bullet speed.
 * If the player is engaged in a duel against a Twin or most of its upgrades, it is most likely that the Annihilator will lose the fight due to their low rate of fire. However, the large Bullets can defend bullet spammer attacks more effectively than a Destroyer’s bullet can, and they make it very difficult to directly damage the Annihilator.
 * Also, even if the Annihilator fails to surprise attack or ambush, the player is safely protected from enemy retaliation and can escape from the situation. This applies to fighting against all tanks, not just the ones mentioned above.
 * When fighting a fast rammer, the best thing for players to do is to chase it down with the Annihilator’s massive recoil, because a rammer is slower and may not escape easily. Players should still be careful, as it may charge back and kill the player.
 * If the player wishes to kill the enemy easily, it is best to position the enemy in the vertical direction. As the enemy is in the vertical position, the enemy can be killed first before they respond, so it makes an opponent easier to hit.
 * When an Annihilator and Hybrid, Destroyer, or another Annihilator engage in a duel, it will almost always be a stalemate as their Bullets will cancel each other out if they have the same stats, which makes both ambushes and direct fights almost impossible.
 * The Annihilator excels at short-range fighting, so it is best for the player to get as close to the enemy as possible before firing on them.
 * The Annihilator has slow bullet speed, so it is best to get close to them. Because of its slow reload, it may be hard to get close to a tank with taking much damage. It is wise to shoot, to block bullets, boost at the tank, and when close enough, fire. You are so close it would be almost impossible to dodge the bullet

Spammers
Spammers are tanks with rapid reload and lots of bullets, though low damage.
