Tanki Online - Maps - IslandThe Island map probably the smallest map in the Tanki game and is great for Catch the flag, Control Points, Death Match and Team Death Match games when you have the full compliment of players, a maximum of six. Even with just four players it can be quite frantic. Firebird, Freeze and Hammer are arguably the best turrets to use on the Island although Ricochet can get some joy by making use of the three small buildings in the centre of the battlefield. Even a strong Thunder or Isida may be able to play a pivotal role in team games. Railgun is not really a good option because of the reload times, shaft players can try it out but are going to get destroyed very quickly by other players, as will Vulcan.
The two team flags are on opposite sides of the island and it takes less than 10 seconds to run between the two without a speed boost with a Wasp or Hornet hull. This does not mean that big, heavy hulls cannot play as they can be a real nuisance for attacking players if they are really strong. There is one control point position which is in the centre of the map, replacing the only repair kit between the buildings. It is in this mode that Ricochet can really have a big impact on battles although Firebirds are not shy of coming out to get you. Island is available to players who hold the rank of First Sergeant and higher in the Ranks Structure. Take a quick tour of the Island MapBelow is a "Real Time" tour of the Island Map, showing the flag positions and all the supplies drop points. This is one of the quickest tours as the battlefield is so small.
Booster Drop Zones on the Island MapBelow is the plan of the Island map showing all the booster drop locations. There is one double armour booster and one double damage booster on opposite sides of the island. There is one repair kit right in the centre which is not in play for the control points battles.
