Aim your tank's cannon at around 45 degrees and fire. This is the most efficient shot. 45 degree shots go the furthest of any angle, and take the least time to fire and fly through the air. Master this shot to master the game.

When you are very close to your enemy, repeatedly fire to destroy what's immediately in front of you. If you can sneak up on your enemy without them noticing you, they'll never see it coming.

Fire a digger shell under an enemy, then fire a shrapnel shell anywhere into the hole. Shrapnel will bounce around, so it is most effective when used in a hole. A shrapnel filled hole becomes a death pit to all those in it.

Aim your cannon straight at your enemy and fire with 100% shot power. Only works with enemies very close by. Adjust shot power and angle for enemies slightly further. Shell fires so fast that your enemy won't know what hit them.

Fly very high up, then the entire time you are falling back down, fire multiple shots at your enemy from the air. You get a better shot from higher up, and can fire the whole way down. Change your angle and shot power dynamically as you're falling to fire at the same spot.

Fly straight towards an enemy over their head at high speed. Fire as you're approaching them for your first hit. As you fly over their head, cut your engine and turn 180 degrees to face your enemy, then fire again as you land. If both of these are direct hits, your target will be destroyed.

Fire a freeze shell at an enemy, then follow up with something painful. If your enemy is flying when you hit them with the freeze shell, it will force them to immediately land.

Fire a shot between 45 and 90 degrees with a high shot power. The higher angle the shot, the more straight down it will hit your enemy. They will never see it coming. Works best with close to mid range enemies, and is especially good when enemies are hiding behind a hill or in a hole.

Fire a bunch of land mines on and around an enemy, effectively freezing them. If they try to fly, the land mines will activate and destroy them. If anyone hits them, the land mines will explode and destroy them.

Fly away from your enemy until they are almost off the radar. Fire shots at 80% or more to hit your enemy. They won't know where the shots are coming from, and you'll be protected at a distance.

While an enemy tank is flying, fire at the exact shot power and angle needed to hit the tank. It is very hard to hit a moving target directly, but it is possible. Your enemy does not think they can be hit when flying, so a direct hit is the last thing they expect.

Fire a shot near an enemy, then detonate it when it is closest to the enemy. For example, you can purposely fire a shot that you know won't be a direct hit, that will go past the enemy for a proximity shot. You can also fire proximity shells, which automatically detonate when near an enemy.

Fly towards an enemy at high speed. As you approach, cut your jets, land on them, and self destruct. Your exploding tank will cause theirs to explode too, but you'll get the points. Works best if the enemy is already damaged. If you are badly damaged or time is running out then you have nothing to lose.

Select a rocket and zoom in on an enemy from long distance with the sniper scope. Fire at high speed to make sure it hits them before they move or are destroyed by someone else.

When an enemy tank has stopped flying, try to predict where and when it will land. Now use that prediction to time a shot to hit the tank where it will stop. For example, fire a nuke so that the enemy tank lands and slides straight into the nuke explosion while it's exploding.

Combine any and all of these methods. For example, fire a freeze shell at a tank in mid-air to cut their jets, fire a digger hole where you think they're going to land, then fly up, and as you're falling fire shots into the hole with the mine shell and watch as your frozen enemy slides into a pit of mines and explodes. There are infinite combinations and possibilities.
