This is quite fun! 

I think "Shift" or "Spacebar" better keys than "Tab" for switching tanks if WASD is movement. I can't reach "Tab" that well while keeping my other fingers on WASD.

I'd like autofire while arrows are held down so I don't have to keep tapping. This is particularly important for diagonal shots because it's hard to tap 2 arrows simultaneously, but it's easier to hold them down.

Thank you for the feed back! You're right about tab button being difficult to press and trying to move. 

I should have taught how to diagonally fire. You can if you hold any of the arrow keys down then press the adjacent arrow key. For example holding "Right Arrow Key" then pressing "Up Arrow Key" will fire a shot in the upper 45 degree angle. If you continue to hold the "Right Arrow Key" and press the "Up Arrow Key" repeatedly you will continue to fire upper 45 degree angle. You can do this will all angles.
