Editing Pocket Tanks (section)

== Gameplay ==
''Pocket Tanks'' was adapted from Welch's earlier [[Amiga]] game ''[[Scorched Tanks]].'' ''Pocket Tanks'' features modified physics and additional weapons ranging from simple [[Shell (projectile)|explosive shells]] to [[Homing missile|homing missiles]]. The game also allows each player to move their tank a maximum of four times at a small, prefixed amount each time. 

The goal of ''Pocket Tanks'' is to use various weapons to attack the other player's tank. Each hit scores a certain number of points, which varies based on the weapon and the proximity of the target. At the end of 10 volleys, the player with the highest score wins.

''Pocket Tanks'' features a fully destructible environment, which allows the player to create and put themselves on pedestals or in [[Bunker|bunkers]], allowing for more strategic gameplay. ''Pocket Tanks'' also supports weapon expansion packs where each player can have up to 325 different weapons in total. 

Network play was made available in the version 1.3 release.

=== Expansion packs ===
The game features extra game content in the form of expansion "weapon packs" which give the player more weapon choices during gameplay, available to those who own ''Pocket Tanks Deluxe''. In the PC version, there are 30 Expansion Packs available to download. All packs that include 5 weapons are available for free, and there are 15 weapons that have to be paid for (mobile versions only). As of August 21 2024, there are 385 weapons in total: 30 from the original game and 355 from the various Deluxe Version expansions.<ref>{{Cite web |title=BlitWise Productions, Creator of Pocket Tanks and DX-Ball |url=https://classic.blitwise.com/index.html |access-date=2024-03-29 |website=Blitwise Productions}}</ref>
