In the Lynx and CC2 [[ruleset]]s, tanks stopped at an obstacle (such as a [[block]]) will continue to move in their facing direction if the path becomes clear. | ||

* If a [[monster]] touches a blue button, all stationary tanks ahead of the touching monster in the [[monster order]] wait, and all stationary tanks behind will not. By inference, if a ''tank'' hits the button, that specific tank will always wait, but any tanks after it in the monster order will still turn immediately. | * If a [[monster]] touches a blue button, all stationary tanks ahead of the touching monster in the [[monster order]] wait, and all stationary tanks behind will not.

Knowledge of this programming may be from useful to necessary, particularly when other monsters interact with tanks. Whether a tank will block a monster or let it through is often an exact science.

== [[Ruleset#Lynx ruleset|Lynx]] behavior == | |||
In Lynx (and CC2) tanks move straight ahead until their path is blocked, unlike MS if the path becomes unblocked later they will continue to move forwards. When a blue button is pressed only fully tile aligned tanks will reverse, tanks between tiles will not reverse and will continue to move in their current direction. | |||
