How to dodge efficiently
If you are going to be joining a league, or even just playing at a public server, you need to learn how to dodge in order to:
1) Stay alive
2) Get a good score. If you can't avoid the shots, then you can't kill the other tank.
It is almost required to learn to dodge by looking at the radar, since you can see 360 degrees around your tank, instead of the 60 degrees your view can display. You can also dodge more accurately by using the radar, since the shot paths can be adjusted to show where a shot will go before it hits you (see the example from above).
Dodging is recommended over just jumping away from shots, since your tank hangs, uncontrollable in the air for about 4 seconds while jumping. This makes you EXTREMELY vulnerable to any other tanks in the area. If you jump while playing a league match, it almost always means you are going to encounter death.
