3vs3

3 vs 3 online versus is one of the game modes in TankCombat and the basic Team mode. Commanders fight against each other in various battlefields, and it's up to the players to work together to bring victory to their team.



Gameplay
Everything goes in Free For All, as all players are out against each other whether or not they are Black List or Global Risk. A room can start with 2 to 16 players (Include Spectators), and the weapons can be set to All, Sniper, Pistol or Melee. Players spawn in random spot around the maps and will battle until the time limit runs (5, 8, 10 or 12 minutes) out or someone achieved certain kills (Be it 10, 15, 20, 25 or 30). The host can choose the number of seconds it takes for someone to respawn (0, 3, 5, 10).

In some servers, Vote System is available for FFA. It can be toggled on/off by room host. Anyone can vote to kick someone out in this mode.

Respawn Mechanics
FFA respawning has different mechanics for different servers. The following are the commonly observed:


 * Every player who spawns has a period of invincibility or spawn protection. The newly spawned player will glow red until the grace period ends. Average spawn protection time is 3 seconds. Newly spawned players can be detected by their melee weapon draw sound.
 * In CF China and CF North America, the Invincibility period can be turned off, leaving players with only one second immune to damage (to draw their weapon). They are subjected to damage as soon as the "melee draw" sound finishes.
 * Dead players randomly respawn on different spawn locations in the map.
 * It is common for someone to respawn right next to an enemy that is near their spawn location. This increases the chances that newly respawned players will get at least a single kill, but this is also a hindrance to live players, as they cannot kill a newly respawned enemy until their spawn invincibility wears off.
 * In most cases, dead enemies tend to respawn near each other: For example in FFA Black Widow, one player respawns inside the tunnel then another player respawns on the nearby covered catwalk.
 * Occasionally, there are times where a player dies to an enemy, then immediately respawns near their killer. This phenomenon is called by some players as "revenge respawning".
 * Logistics Center is the only FFA map that spawns players as far away from each other as possible.
