Tanki Online - Maps - CrossThe Cross map on Tanki is small map and is one of those that is available from a very early stage in your Tanki career. It is a very popular map for all battle modes; Control Points, Catch the flag, Team Death Match and individual Death Match. A quick look at the map clearly explains the name of the map, as a road network and a series of bridges create a large cross in the middle section of it.
Ricochet, Thunder, Smoky, Twins, Hammer, Vulcan, Railgun, Firebird, Freeze, Isida and even Shaft can all have some success on Cross, making one of the fairest map in the game. There are lots of places to try and hide, or to spring out and surprise another player, long straight roads that offer great line of sight plus walls and buildings for Ricochet to bounce it's shells off and hit enemy tanks around the corner. The two flags are in opposite corners and in addition to approaching these points by road, there is an alternative route around the outer edge of the map, under the bridges in the north and south. These routes often catch new players out until they get more familiar with the map. There are three Control Points when playing that mode, with all three on the middle road that runs north to south on the bridge. The Repair Kit in the centre of the cross is then replaced by one of the Control Points. The road over the top of the cross is a prime location for Vulcan to create havoc, especially if they a big, strong hulls under the turrets. These can be very hard to destroy and forces many players to take cover under the bridges and out of sight, or at least out of sight of the Vulcan. There a plenty more tanks doing the same so you are bound to meet them in no time. Cross is available to players who hold the rank of Private and higher in the Ranks Structure. Take a quick tour of the Cross MapBelow is a "Real Time" tour of the Take a quick tour of the Cross 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 Cross MapBelow is the plan of the Cross map showing all the booster drop locations. There is just Repair Kit which is not present in Control Points games, two Double Armour, two Double Damage and two Speed boosters.
The Repair Kit booster is a prized asset in all battles which is may explain why some players like to spend most of their time not far from the middle bridge, where they may be able to make a dash to top up their health.
