Pocket Tanks is based on the concept of the older game Scorched Earth that we all know, 2 tanks are placed in a random terrain and the battle begins with over 60 weapons and constant new weapon-packs and game updates by the author.You can decide if you'd like to play with wind, terrain types, explosion size and kick.You can play against the computer on 10 levels of difficulty, or against another friend in regular combat or target practice.The real challenge is to find a combination of angle and power that will hit the opponent's tank, wind making the task prove difficult, and adjust yourself to your opponent's attacks such as dirt-cover based attacks and other high-tech weapons messing with your aim.
The Good
Sure, Pocket Tanks is yet another incarnation of a game that has been around almost since electronic gaming meant spelling funny words on your calculator by reading the numbers upside-down. However, this game is a very good implementation of the concept, in the same sense that Starfleet I: The War Begins! was a great implementation of the classic Star Trek "Search And Destroy" game.

The best thing about Pocket Tanks is the weapons. There are a host of original weapons, each with its own unique effects (both visual and gameplay-oriented). Like the classic "Rock/Paper/Scissors" game, pretty much every attack can be countered or nullified. Some weapons, if used incorrectly, may backfire, doing more damage to the user than to the target, or unintentionally shielding the target from future attacks.
The game has been designed to be expandable. It ships with 30 weapons, but extra weapons packs are available, some for free! Developer BlitWise Productions shows a refreshing appreciation for its customers by throwing out the occasional freebie. The expansion packs help to prolong the life of the game.
The Bad
The only criticism that I have for Pocket Tanks is all of the things that are missing. As good as it is, this game could be so much better.
Finally, the A.I. for computer-controlled tanks has two irritating flaws: The first is that A.I.-controlled tanks never move. Sometimes, a tank will get into a position from which it's impossible to hit the opponent (for example, when its opponent drops a wall two pixels in front of its turret). When this happens, it's often possible to move the tank to a new location from which a hit is possible (i.e. back away from the wall a bit). This is such a strategic gameplay element that each player only has a limited number of moves, yet the computer A.I. never uses any of its moves! If it can't make the shot, it simply wastes it. I've even seen it fire a projectile straight up into the air, only to have it come straight back down and land on itself! A.I. doesn't get much dumber than that.
Secondly, the computer A.I. is obviously programmed to try for a direct hit on its opponent, regardless of what weapon it's using. However, some weapons do more collateral damage by landing near the target than they do with a direct hit, but the A.I. never accounts for this.
Also, the A.I. fires every weapon like it was a projectile weapon, prone to the effects of gravity. However, some weapons are beam or point-to-point weapons and are best aimed directly at the target. Some are even designed to be fired through obstacles such as mountains. The A.I. never uses such weapons correctly and invariably wastes them.
The Bottom Line
Reading through my laundry list of complaints, you'd almost think I hate this game. I don't. I actually quite like it. But it could have been so much more! Are you listening, BlitWise?
The Good
The choices of weapons to fire at the other tank is pretty creative. The main fun is watching what the different weapons do.
The Bad
The two (fill in the blank) "shooting at each other from opposite sides of a mountain" theme has been used since before the CP/M days.
The Bottom Line
If you remember the old Q-BASIC game "Gorilla", just change the graphics to tanks. Calculate wind effects, trajectory height, throwing power, choose a bomb to send over, and watch what happens.
WASHINGTON -- U.S. President Joe Biden pledged an additional US$1.3 billion Thursday for new weapons and economic assistance to help Ukraine in its strong but increasingly difficult battle against the Russian invasion, and he promised to seek much more from Congress to keep the guns, ammunition and cash flowing.
The new package includes $800 million in military aid for much-needed heavy artillery, 144,000 rounds of ammunition and drones for the escalating battle in the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine. It builds on roughly $2.6 billion in military assistance that Biden previously approved.
There's also a fresh $500 million in direct economic assistance t o Ukraine for government salaries, pensions and other programs. That raises the total U.S. economic support to $1 billion since Russia's invasion began nearly two months ago.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed his gratitude but said his nation needs ever more - up to $7 billion each month to make up for economic losses in addition to weapons and money for the continuing war.
A poll published Thursday by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research shows Americans' desire to get involved has waned somewhat. Some 32% say the U.S. should have a major role in the conflict. That's ticked down from 40% last month, though it's slightly higher than the 26% who said so in February. An additional 49% say the U.S. should have a minor role.
Congress has signaled it is receptive to further requests and has been expecting there would be a need for further help for the Ukrainians. But the issue could become entwined with partisan fights over pandemic spending and immigration, complicating the pathway.
Biden has chosen retired Lt. Gen. Terry Wolff, a National Security Council official during the Obama administration, to oversee coordination of the security assistance to Ukraine, according to a White House official. The official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the yet to be formally announced appointment, said Wolff was brought to the White House National Security Council team in recent days.
Biden spoke on the new assistance, and more broadly about the situation in Ukraine, hours after Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed victory in the strategic city of Mariupol. Putin, however, ordered his troops not to risk more losses by storming the last pocket of Ukrainian resistance in the war's iconic battleground.
Russian forces have destroyed much of southeastern port city, which has witnessed some of the fiercest fighting of the war. By Russian estimates, about 2,000 Ukrainian forces remain holed up in a sprawling steel plant, even as Russia continues to pound the industrial site and issue ultimatums for surrender.
The new U.S. military assistance is to include 72 155mm howitzers, 144,000 artillery rounds, 72 vehicles used to tow to the howitzers onto battlefields, and over 121 Phoenix Ghost tactical drones, as well as field equipment and spare parts.
Pentagon press secretary John Kirby said the drones were developed by the Air Force in specific response to Ukrainian needs and produced by a U.S. company, Aevex Aerospace, but he would not say whether the program began before Russia started its invasion Feb. 24. Kirby said the Phoenix Ghost is similar to the armed Switchblade kamikaze drones that the Pentagon already is providing to Ukraine.
The Russians have been deploying additional artillery there in recent days as they aim to expand their offensive and attempt to take full control of the Donbas after retreating from a failed attempt to capture Kyiv, the capital. Heavy weaponry like artillery is expected to play a key role in the fighting in the relatively confined area where Ukrainian and Russian-backed separatists have been battling since 2014.
The Biden administration also announced a new program Thursday aimed at streamlining refugee applications for Ukrainians and others fleeing the fighting, while they are still in Europe. The U.S. will no longer routinely grant entry to those who show up at the U.S.-Mexico border seeking asylum, as thousands have. 152ee80cbc
