Dodging tips
Now with 162 tips!
Before I get into random dodging tips, here is a mini-guide to start learning how to dodge:
1) Start with mini-dodging. Don't focus on the angles at all. Just focus on the timing. Set up a thin corridor to dodge in, pick a wall to lean against, (don't dodge in the middle) and practice.
2) Next, focus on your aim. I know this is a dodging guide, but you won't be able to dodge well unless you are able to predict where bullets will go. The best way to do this is to try to control where your bullets will go--by working on your aim (without yet having to think about how your tank is positioned).
3) Now, focus on more on the angles. You can set up a small 5x5 square maze with a block in the middle to help you to be aware of all the different angles bullets can approach from.
4) Lastly, focus on more advanced dodging. Play in regular mazes. Try to make bullets bounce off of corners or the thin edges of walls, and observe how they move. Be prepared for these kinds of movements. Also, check out all the tips below!

Dodging Tip 1: Plan - One good strategy (but not the only one) is to get in a SMALL place that will give you access to an escape route with LOTS of space.
Dodging Tip 2: Every. Bullet. Counts. Don't underestimate any one bullet.
Dodging Tip 3: Even though an enemy tank may be intimidating, in some cases, you'll have better luck getting closer to it where there's more room to dodge. And also, you can use it as a shield.
Dodging Tip 4: Charge at bullets when you dodge them. This will get them out of the way sooner and get you ready to dodge more.
Dodging Tip 5: The direction you face is so important because you can only move so quickly! Get in position. Face bullets as they start to near you, so you can prepare to move left or right.
Dodging Tip 6: When approaching an enemy tank, stay behind it and face towards it, in case it turns left or right.
Dodging Tip 7: Moving towards bullets and passing them will get them out of the way quicker. Turning your tank parallel to their trajectory makes it easier for them to pass you. The best dodgers use both of these tricks to escape bullets as early as possible.
