The slingshot is a Tier 4 tank that upgrades from the Smasher.It is the only tank (at least of mine) that loses a complete stadistic, the Movement Speed.

Design
The slingshot has a Smasher base with two small circles at two sides. When they're shot, a long grey line follows the direction.

Technical
The slingshot's main change is the lost of movement, it won't move with the arrows or WASD. The only way to move is by shooting its circles, with mechanics similar to slingshots, hence the name. It can use two boosts, with one point and two points. In the one point boost, it starts to accelerate when one of its circles touch a polygon (no tanks), and move to its direction. With the two points boost, it starts to accelerate when the both circles are hooked, and move in the direction of the sum of the vectors (in the middle of them); in this way of boost, it can hook tanks. Left click for one point boost and right click for the two point boost (needs to shoot twice). The circles advance very quickly and the range is the same as your FoV.

Movement speed is changed with sling tension, upgrading it will increase the max boost.

The body damage and health increases slightly and your FoV is equal to the assasin's, and knock back is almost null.

Strategy
The one point boost is faster to plan, but has less thrust than the two points'.
 * Strong Against: Slow tanks, tanks with a low RoF.
 * Weak Against: Areas with few polygons :(, Tanks with high RoF or DPS. 

Your movement depends on polygons, so try to stay near to them. If you need to escape, move by far polygons with the one point boost. Even if it's necessary, and you don't have any polygon, try to hook two weak tanks to escape.

Being in the pentagon nest is very dangerous, and only experienced slingshots should farm there. If you hook an alpha pentagon with the one point boost, you´re dead. However, the two point boost is safer, as alpha pentagons are big and sometimes can appear more than one in your FoV. There, you can catch some distracted tanks or low level tanks, even high RoF and DPS if they're are focused in an alpha pentagon.

Trivia

 * It's the first of our tanks that can´t move, like the Dominator in its game mode.
 * I want to use a GIF here :)
 * This is an ol'school style tank.
