A high-risk direct line with a serious payoff: from the end of it you can see and shoot down the enemy's main road all the way back to their spawn, and the same angle catches their south-side flankers on the move. Owning that road means taxing the enemy team's primary artery — most of their traffic has to either cross your gun or find a worse route. The risk is symmetrical, though: a sightline that long is visible to everyone on it, and you will be shot back at. Take the position with cover in mind, engage the road traffic in short exposures, and give the south flank a glance between shots. It is a lane-control posting for confident gunners.

A conditional flank with simple math: if your tank is faster than the enemy's light tanks, this route lets you take out vehicles that never notice you. Speed decides who arrives at the key ground first, and arriving first here means the enemy's own flankers and scouts drive into your gun instead of past it. In a genuinely quick vehicle you sweep the line, catch the slower traffic side-on, and are gone before anything organizes against you. In anything sluggish, skip it — the same route with less speed just delivers you late to a fair fight, and fair fights are not what flanking is for.

A mad rush right at the beginning of the game: bypass the B point entirely — do not stop, do not cap — and snuggle up tight against the L-shaped building. That building is the whole position. From its corner you get a flanking view of the enemies as they push forward, catching their advance side-on while their eyes are locked ahead. The same angle also controls anyone trying to cap B, so you deny the point without ever standing on it. The rush is what makes it work; arrive thirty seconds late and the enemy owns the building instead. Commit at spawn, hug the wall, and punish everything that moves.
