Exploits
There are two main techniques which can be applied to exploit bugs for an easy victory in Scorched Earth.
The first is to take a movable tank and invest in plenty of fuel. If the player moves left then right over and over again, the tank will rise into the air. While doing this it will dig through dirt and the shields of other tanks. Projectiles may then be fired through the hole thus created. This can also be used to undermine other tanks and cause them to take falling damage.
The second, which relates to the use of the first, is to exploit the characteristics of napalm, in combination with those of shields. If napalm can be poured through a hole in a tank's shield (sometimes a napalm shell itself will do this) the shield will hold the napalm in next to the affected tank causing the maximum amount of damage for the napalm shot.
