Tanki Online - Maps - SkyscrapersThe Skyscrapers map on Tanki is a fairly big sized map and is quite hard to get to grips with when you play your first few games. There is precious little level surface that does not has an obstacle in the way, lots of long ramps and lots of very narrow routes. One of the biggest problems many first-time players experience here is staying on the active part of the map. Fall off a building or ramp and you will almost certainly fall in to thin air and will self-destruct shortly after.
Catch the flag battles here are among my favourite due to a numbers of challenges. One of them is staying in control of the tank at high speed over the narrow ramps and pathways round the outside of buildings, the other is avoiding direct hits from Shaft players. These are fabulous sniping turrets on Skyscrapers, as are Railgun and to a lesser extent Vulcan. A strong Smoky, Thunder or Ricochet tank can knock you off course too, sometimes enough to send you in to the abyss below. Firebird, Freeze, Hammer and Isida are ideal for catching the flag and capturing control points but those relatively light hulls that are needed for speed wont hold of enemy fire for too long. Team Death Match and Death Match battles are quite rare on Skyscrapers, and those that are played are not normally well attended. It is a scary map, there is no question of that, but with a little patience, determination and a half decent weapon at your disposal, a lot of enjoyment can be had here. The map at the bottom of the page may give the impression that the two team flags are a fair distance apart but in reality it is not that far to run and can be done in under 15 seconds, with a speed booster, with several hulls. Wasp and Hornet are clearly the better option but you are trading off armour for speed. Skyscrapers is available to players who hold the rank of Master Sergeant and higher in the Ranks Structure. Booster Drop Zones on the Skyscrapers MapBelow is the plan of the Skyscrapers map showing all the booster drop locations. There actually some more speed boosts that are obscured by some of the ramps that connect the skyscrapers. In control points battles, the two team flags double up as CP's, and you lose one double armour and double damage booster whre teo CP's have been placed.
