Okay Maxx, I'll give you a straight answer since the Canadians can't come up with one for you. The fastest way to take a pill is using another pill as a blocker, but you have to beware of vultures if you don't rebuild and snipers if you do rebuild your pill "on the fly" (sending your man while shooting the enemy pill so your pill is rebuilt to guard you and the dead pill). The closer your pill is to you the less chance someone rushes in and grabs your pill or snipes your man on a longer-range rebuild, but the angles can be trickier when your blocker pill is farther from the target pill. I also want to make sure you understand that in almost every situation, you want to be the maximum gun sight distance from the enemy pill. The closer you are, the more stray shots that'll hit ya when your blocker gives out. DO NOT RUSH TOWARD AN ANGRY PILL SHOOTING IT AS MUCH AS YOU CAN UNTIL YOU DIE -- THIS IS THE #1 SIGN YOU'RE A NEWB. Dead tanks don't win wars -- just ask Iraq.

You can also use 2 or more pills as blockers to absorb more fire and prevent having to do the spinaroo/rebuild, but of course your friendly pills at risk goes up and it's considered overkill in many circumstances. Therefore, only do it when taking out that other pill is worth the additional pill(s) you risk. This is also a popular technique for setting up a snipe on an enemy rebuild, and an enemy with no man is half the enemy he was before (unless I'm the enemy... that only pisses me off and makes me tromp you even faster, n00b!).

If you don't yet have a pill, use a wall against the pill, shoot the pill at an angle with the wall blocking, send man while shooting before wall gives way to rebuild wall in the same spot, spin outta range as man zooms in to rebuild wall so as not to lose man during rebuild, then turn back around and finish the pill. Once you get the timing down, you can use this method to take a pill out in 7 or 8 seconds and still have most or all of your armor left. Some prefer using 2 or more walls as blockers up front, but a pissed off pill wipes out wall #2 in a heartbeat whereas the spinaroo/rebuild burns a couple seconds during which the pill chills out a little, so the rebuilt wall holds out longer when you go in to finish it than it would if you did it all in one move with 2 walls. Building more than 2 blocker walls or pills is, in my opinion, wasting time.

Last but not least, PRACTICE. Practicing the timing and angles is one of the keys to becoming an efficient tactical player. One more thing-- if you really wanna be good, you also need to learn how to be a good ally and, of course, STRATEGY. Someone post links to the guides for that stuff... I'm spent.

I agree; there is far too much levity around here.
If we spent more time practicing pill takes and discussing it and
less time making childish jokes, we would all be ehhhhh emmmm
sort of ehhhhh similar in ranking to how we are now but more serious.
