The HUD

Tank Dashboard

• Your armor is displayed by an orange bar on the right side of your radar.
• Your shield is displayed by a blue bar on the left side of your radar.
• Your tank upgrade is displayed by a picture on the right side of your dash.
• Your radar, at center, displays the ball, friendlies, enemies who are firing, repair pads, and goals.
• From inside the cab, you can usually see a portion of the tank to keep track of which way your tank is facing. With your turret turned to its maximum left or right, you will be able to see the large thrusters on the back of your tank. The left or right sides of your tank are the lowest, giving your left and right firing the largest view. Know what pieces of your tank relate to the forward direction for your driving. Mastering this will enable you to strafe.

Floating HUD Icons

• Your reticle is standard fare. It follows the direction of your mouse, and is the “seeking” portion of using the Missile Launcher. The reticle is the same for every weapon.
• Outside of your targeting reticle, you will find small icons representing the shots left in your clip. The Pulse Cannon will fire all 12 bullet-like icons off individually through a clip. The Missile Launcher uses two rocket icons, and fires first the left, then right rocket individually. The Artemis Cannon has a solid bar outside the circle of your reticle that draws the bar down as it fires. Other guns use it differently, but the same idea is followed for all to keep you up-to-date on the rounds left in your clip.
• When you fire your weapon, there is a short delay before the auto-reload function will start your reload process. This is represented by small blocks that build to a complete circle around the center of your reticle. If you fire your weapon during the reload, the reload is forced to restart.
• The ball location is represented by a floating Icon on your screen. When no one controls the ball, it is white. When your team controls it, the ball is the chosen color of your HUD. When the enemy controls the ball, the icon becomes red.
• When the ball is controlled by either team, the target goal is displayed on your HUD. When your team controls the ball, the enemy’s goal is displayed as the color of your HUD. When the enemy controls the ball, your goal is displayed as the color of your HUD.
