how to use botherer so that it does more damage up close?

botherer's damage is distance based, so each projectile will do less damage the closer your tank is to the target, and vice versa. in other words, you cant do increased damage up close.

i found the way you need to shoot the ground below the enemy and it deals 240 damage up close

I was able to do it once in a online match and did 240 damage but I've seen some players do it consistently so I was wondering how

yes the last upgrade did 240 and other players also did 240. You have to shoot it in some specific way in the ground

I was able to make a screenshot, notice not even all projectiles hit because I was too far

I think I found when it does that. You need to shoot the ground below the target so that the first projectile doesn't hit the target and destroys the ground under them, lowering them so that next proejctiles hit them. For some reason those projectiles do 3 damage instead of 1, allowing to do 200+ damage in total.
It works on any slopes if you are below the target, or on almost flat surfaces with about 10 degrees angled ground. On flatter slopes like 10 degrees you need to shoot almost below yourself, at 100 -60.
Following those steps I was able to achieve very high consistency at dealing 200+ damage.
Here is bigger damage I was able to achieve in firing range.

It seems to only work if you aim downwards, so if the target is on a slope higher than you and you aim straight left, it won't work.
