Guide to playing in 铁塔 effectively
About 铁塔
Overview:铁塔 is a 地图 that 玩家 joyride through across the spectrum - be it the vertical gameplay or the tight premises, it's worth taking a look at, since it can be a nice alternative to the norm, but it isn't the easiest to find at all times. 跑酷 is limited, but it has the same appeal as疯狂思维空间in rolling off of cliffs and doing flips.

死亡混战/团队对战
Given the cramped quarters in this 地图, it would be expected that shorter-ranged 炮塔 prosper here, and whilst they do, they're not as viable as they should be. The 原因 for this is the fact that there are many, many inclines on this 地图, and they have to be used to navigate around the 地图, meaning that often, you will have to fight on them - since these inclines are mostly a single prop in length, shorter 射程炮塔 will be forced to fight at undesirable angles, meaning their charge may miss whether they're at the top or the bottom. Essentially, in order for close ranged fighters to use their tools, they're going to need to be on the slopes themselves, making it difficult to fight 坦克 coming from directly above or below them.
With that being said, they're still viable, since opponents will also be faced with this problem - just that it comes down to mind games as opposed to being a certain offensive presence. 炮塔 such as雷暴炮,滑膛炮,轰天炮and激光炮have a useful role in shooting from the further corners of the 地图 where the platforms fan out.

Despite the problems that shorter ranged 炮塔 face, they can still be a problem from an offensive and defensive standpoint. Any离子炮on a 旗子 can effectively deter enemy蜂王from diving headfirst into their 旗子, and even维京typically have issues with scaling the ramps when they're constantly being buffeted by plasma projectiles. Meanwhile, since there are few places to run, a火焰炮can effectively crush a defensive bastion by constantly dishing out 伤害 through contact and lasting burns during its invasion into base.冰风暴is less optimal for this task, since the 炮塔 don't have far to turn before finding you again, but it's still an acceptable choice.
Each base is cramped, making it ideal for attacking by surprise, but it also leads to more prosperous defensive strategies, which can be beneficial or a hindrance depending on the role you're playing . Longer ranged 炮塔 can also be a midfield presence on the outskirts of the 地图, attacking offensive threats, often with no way for them to respond. Well, besides helplessly spraying fumes in their 上将 direction as they wait for their inevitable death, that is.马格南deserves a 特殊 mention here as the 炮塔 can be used to eliminate large 小组 of 红队 while staying on the outskirts of the 地图, without the need of interfering the enemy's base.
控制点
There are five 控制点, and 铁塔 isn't too large, meaning all points will be under threat at all times. 铁塔 is a sardine 箱子 -- there's rarely a moment when you're not directly next to someone, unless you're out on the farthest loops surrounding the 地图. Even then, prepare to be a target, since that stretch of land is highly prized by many a镭射炮,极速炮,马格南and激光炮. Besides, plenty of 玩家 will be annoyed by the fact that someone's picking them off constantly from the sidelines as they try to hold points.
Light 底盘 still have a niche role in navigating around the 地图 - the very narrow inclines make it significantly easier for light 底盘 to move around the 地图, although they can be bowled over in combat just as fast - it's advised to 装备火焰炮or冰风暴, since they both leave a mark after they've dealt with you. However, if you're going to be gunning for the 控制点, a medium or heavy 底盘 would be most recommended, preferably something with mid-射程 and 冲击力 to knock off 玩家 from their precarious ramps.火龙珠would be an option, but you'd have to be careful with where you place your shots, lest you wind up fighting yourself to death. With 45° angles everywhere, your shots may go wild. If you're not down for that, then maybe离子炮,滑膛炮or轰天炮might be acceptable choices for pointsitting.
一如既往，这一个磁力炮or two is always welcome to join the fight, covering for极速炮on the shores or patching up sleeping giants on the points. Remember that you're going to have to defend yourself, too, so be conscious of the ramps and how they affect your beam connection.
