[[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 [[Leagues|league]] match, it almost always means you are going to encounter death. If you have to jump, try to jump onto a building, or behind the tank that is shooting at you, so he/she'll have to turn around.

A simple dodging tactic used by many players is to try quickly turning left or right and then moving in that direction before turning back to face the enemy tank. This is usually a successful way to dodge a bullet and then put the player in an advantageous position to fire a shot at the enemy (since they turned so quickly that the  enemy didn't have time to catch up ;) ).
 
  
 
If you are dodging with a mouse, I would recommend making your mouse faster in the control panel settings of your OS. I would also recommend making your mousebox smaller. This allowed the mouse to move the tank from side to side faster, and then you will be able to dodge with greater ease.
