Tank Battle is a duel in a walled arena. Drive, turn, and fire shells that bounce off the walls, which means the shot you take can come back and hit you if you are careless. Two tanks, limited space, and no cover except the obstacles between you.
The ricochet is what turns this from a shooting game into a thinking one. A direct line to your opponent is often blocked, so the winning shot is usually the one you bank off a wall to reach them from an angle they are not watching. Working out those angles under pressure is the whole game.
Watch your own shells. They bounce off the walls and remain dangerous to you as well, so firing into a tight corner can put a shell straight back into your own tank. Think about where the shot ends up, not just where it starts.
Use bank shots when the direct line is blocked. Aiming at a wall so the shell arrives from the side is often the only way to reach an opponent behind cover, and it is much harder for them to see coming.
Keep moving, but not predictably. A stationary tank is easy to hit and a tank driving in a straight line is barely harder. Small irregular changes of direction make you a genuinely difficult target.
Fight for the open middle when you are ahead and use the obstacles when you are behind. Space gives you shooting angles; cover gives you time. Knowing which you need is most of the tactical depth here.

Yes, obstacles in the arena block direct shots, which is what makes ricochets so useful.
