Tanki Online Turrets - Firebird
Firebird has an effective range of up to 18 meters, delivering damage both during its attack of napalm flame by setting opponents on fire, damage which continues following your attack as the enemy tank keeps burning and often eventually explodes. The gun can deal damage to several tanks at the same time too. The main advantage of Firebird for a novice player is that your aim is not really that important. Just point a stream of fire in the rough direction of the enemy tank and at least some damage will be delivered.
Firebird is a good weapon for short-range battles. It fires a stream of napalm that burns tanks within its damage radius. Opponents continue to burn and take damage even after the Firebird attack has stopped. Firebird is also useful for thawing frozen tanks in team battles and is a great choice for fast and medium hulls.
Firebird will defrost your team tanks if they suffer an attack from Freeze.

Tactics and tips when using Firebird
- If you end up face to face with another Firebird player (and you will), you can fire at them but reverse at the same time, as backing off with decrease the damage inflicted by the enemy. Once they have emptied out their reserve of Naplam, move back in and fire again. The will not be able to fire back effectively due to the reload time, and you may well successfully destroy them.
- When you are approaching an up a ramp and see an enemy tank coming toward you wait foe them to be at the top of the ramp, sitting very close to the bottom of it. When they are on the verge of coming down, and many will, move on to the ramp and fire at the underside of their hull. They can combat this tactic but it is not an easy one to perform in the height of battle.
- To an extent, Firebird can shoot round walls and the corners of buildings. If the enemy is too close they will still burn and will probably be destroyed.
