Tanki Online - Maps - BridgesThe Bridges map on Tanki is a small to medium sized map where Control Points, and Catch the flag battles are a mixture of speed and stealth. As the map name suggests, it has a number of bridges, six of them in total. Team Death Match and individual Death Match battles are not as common on the Bridges map, although it is perhaps one of the best maps in the game, in my opinion.
The bridges are good for Shaft, Vulcan and Railgun to snipe across the map from. Thunder, Smoky and Ricochet are useful on the bridges too as they can reach the middle section of the map quite comfortably. Under the bridges and the lower terrain is perfect for Ricochet, Railgun, Twins, Thunder, Firebird, Freeze, Isida and Hammer all in hot persuit of enemy tanks. The two corners where the flags are positioned have a pair of small buildings next to them and these are good defensive positions where you can hide from enemy tanks and take them by surprise when they grab the flag. Unfortunately for defending team, they are also good for the attacking team to hide behind too, waiting for their chance to get a clean run off the base with the flag. Both bases have four access points so defending teams need to give some thought on how to place tanks to defend effectively. Catching the flag on the Bridges map is not normally too difficult as much of the focus by players is on the bridges, leaving opportunities for fast tanks to sneak in from below and make a smash and grab raid. There are just three Control Points on the Bridges map with two of them located close to where the flags are positioned, while the other is in a central location on the raised middle section of land with a large building on it. Bridges is available to players who hold the rank of Coporal and higher in the Ranks Structure. Take a quick tour of the Bridges MapBelow is a "Real Time" tour of the Take a quick tour of the Bridges Map, showing the flag positions and the routes between the two. It also shows many of the supplies drop points along the way.
Booster Drop Zones on the Bridges MapBelow is the plan of the Bridges map showing all the booster drop locations. A feature that makes this map good for flag catching is the lack of Double Armour boosters near either of the two bases but there are Double Damage boosters not so far away. The Speed Boosters are well placed for flag catching too as there are two of them on bridges and two more on the low terrain where it is the normal route (and quickest) back to your home base. There are also two Repair Kits on this lower level so if you do take a hit, there is a chance you can top up your health on the way back to base too.
