Standoff Assault Tank is excellent at long ranges thanks to the high velocity round and the spotlight. You'll earn massive amounts of points for spotting and you'll be bombarding everyone on the map.

[@EpicThe112]

Absolutely correct and it's even useful operation st michaels offensive urban maps where you can go to the rear then repair and fit on narrow alley ways. However the Russian Putilov Garford isn't used that much in operations because of its thin armor making it a liability for the team who is attacking or defending

[@vitalyjoepeachpeedarok]

Yeah the guy has ignored it completely like it doesn't have high velocity AP shells, machine gun, spot (especially useful on operations) and smokes. No fast repair though and gunner positions are meh but you still can drive away and repair thanks to smoke barrage, and work as "taxi" for infantry bois. Pretty good tank for long ranges.

[@kenaultman7499]

Tank destroyer landship can really piss off those artillery guys on the other side of the map. It's only got 3 turrets. But, it shoots a sniper round that can slap across the map. One hit kill on infantry, 4 hit on tanks, and can blast planes out of the air. Also, let's out gas grenades. I love it.

[@andrewleah1983]

It’s my favourite for those reasons. And when it comes to taking out the behemoth(s) (the dreadnought is the hardest due to is ability to camp far away), is second to none. If I’m not fighting another tank or the behemoth, I’d the F17, close support tank for me.

[@angrydrawings3910]

Saying the gas assault tank is useless in large open maps means he clearly isn't used to a giant grenade launcher. I've gotten stupid but insane streaks on Senai desert from far distances on enemy tanks. To me, it feels like a light howitzer tank with more armor, a little less damage, and more drop, plus gas.

Squad support landship is so underrated and clearly has the most potential in terms of damage output, team efficiency, and control point capturing. It disappoints me that people get scared away from the landship all because the driver only gets a machine or splash gun. Landships make up for this by having TWO howitzers on both sides. No other tank accomplishes this.

[@Tukkerrandy]

Agree. Whenever I see another landship active, I make sure I stick with it until the thing explodes!

[@Jack.Martson]

@@Tukkerrandy same here ever since this game was released, I always loved the squad support landship, it good as a spawn point for your team and you have 2 canon.

[@trolgeeeeee]

I love playing as the landship and and light french tank both my favorite tanks to play as the landship is good as tank but when it comes to dealing with most tanks in the game you'll need to turn aroind and let your side cannon fire at it that is if you have a crew with you

[@NotDirtMcgurt]

A full mortar landship that does not over extend you'll be top of the scoreboard without a doubt

[@mvximus3188]

Just do mortar truck if you are using a mortar vehicle

[@happytime2781]

Exactly. These thing is great for hitting train, Char 2 or very strongly defended choke points without putting itself into to much danger. Same time if enemies try engage or you decide to push, with 2 gunners you have amazing frontal firepower (especially against enemy armor)

[@Giddyboon]

Stand off saint chamond and gas assault saint chamond are my favorites. You really skimmed over the chamond as if it's not that effective. The stand off variants spot light and secondary machine gun for the driver is ridiculously useful! The gas assault is perfect for harassment tactics, not so much the tank you want to choose if you want to rack up kills but it defiantly is good at clearing objectives when you're just pooping gas everywhere.with its quick repair it is also the most heavily armored variant of the 3.

[@deno202]

My favorite is Gas assault tank, great to clearing mass inf or make 6 gas shells in one area, helps assault/defense, plus can keep other tanks at bay even kills with a bit support from teammates. Big advantage of that tank over others AT tanks, is that it can shoot over obstacles and hit tank hiding behind it.

[@corporalcrimson3295]

I know people hate the "campers" but I counter with my opinion: If you have an elevated view of an objective you can shell every single enemy holding allowing your team to rush in and take it with minimal deaths. Additionally hard-core players weep when the mortar truck spawns. It is a godly weapon of war. Artillery were among the most effective strategies in this era of warfare so why shy away from it.

[@birdiessimracing]

You're totally right yesterday I had to play an enemy complaining about the enemy using the trenches. In a WW1 Shooter

[@coltukkor]

Imo if you know how to properly control it...the Artillery Truck is far and away the best option.Never let the enemy get too close and when you start to take on damage flea the scene and repair.

[@andrewleah1983]

It’s a cowards tank though. All the others require you to get stuck in (to different degrees) I love taking out camping artie trucks.

[@cleeiii357]

True. People just get mad at things that interrupt their strategy of running around aggressively with no care in the world. Arty trucks and the Mortar Landship punishes those and make people pay more attention as they are still quite easy to look out for and destroy.

[@oskarvonmandelsloh5049]

But the standoff St. Chaimon is the best tank in the game. Your ability to auto spot people without even seeing them in every range is soo amazing. For example, sit at the D-Flag on Sinai Desert and look at the town. Use the spot ability and you can reck enemy snipers of the houses with ease. Also with the combo of Machine gun and a nice cannon you always have something to defend you with. I hate being in a tank with only cannons, because when you fired all your 6 rounds you're screwed against enemy infantry. High mobility and decent armor, as well. The smoke screen can be very usefull in escape situations, too. So the standoff aussault tank is clearly the best for me!

[@AKAARTOFFICIAL]

The spotting ability is a bug that should be fixed soon so I'm not going to use it/give a guide on it :) Every time I come up against a St. Chamond in a Howitzer tank I win... Not sure why people think it's great because it just isn't. Maybe it's decent but it certainly isn't the best tank in the game.

[@cunninglinguiste2]

Same I love the standoff assault tank, I can clear l objectives with it and the smoke is very useful

[@shockwave6213]

I lean towards the Gas Assault variant, when I'm supporting an attack force on a sector, or I use the Field Assault variant, when I am the attacking force. I've cleared out whole objectives with a single YOLO Artillery Pigeon. I remember one time, I got 14 kills on a single Artillery call.

[@alexjackson9527]

No worse feeling than only having the A objective on Amiens and wondering, "Where are our tanks?" Only to see a mortar artillery truck hiding in base going 4-0 after 20 minutes doing fuck all to help

[@thomasdimarco1167]

What about the assault truck? The new russian one

[@thomasdimarco1167]

Lazurkri it is a very challenging vehicle to use

[@JS-311]

Thomas Di Marco that thing is op with the anti-tank loadout, especially once I got used to driving backwards lol

[@milosmilovanovic455]

I think that tank even has a weaker armor than Arti truck...

[@EpicThe112]

Much weaker than the artillery truck due to its Armour which makes most premium players prefer the assault tank due to it being a higher durability vehicle example is Operation beyond the Marne where a friendly assault truck rushed the second objective in the first sector in Soissons then destroyed

[@MellowBiped]

Thomas Di Marco I dominate with it.

[@damonischerboserwaldemonic6755]

Fact: tanks in WWI weren't as fast IRL and their numbers were really small

[@hamishgraham8875]

The gas assault tank is great!!! Those explosive shells are beastly.

[@iwantnod]

Agree. You can support the team on the point by covering an entire point with gas from the distance. And it can blast damaged enemy vehicles in cover because most drivers dont mention bouncing shells when they choose where to cover.

[@nicolaiodonnell7327]

I was surprised when he said you need to be skilled to use landship

[@user-lf3cg1is3t]

Same

[@carlosclinche492]

The mortar truck is great to use on operations to cover allied attacking movements when on the attacking time while killing enemies with gas in mass, spotting them and keeping them pinned allowing your allies to walk right in.

[@friend_of_battlefield2299]

Its Also the most annoying for the deffenders😂

[@cellbuilder2]

It's also a great hard counter to enemy mortars, snipers, etc., and especially the fortress guns of Monte Grappa. Use smoke to blind the guns, gas to clear players using them as cover, and constantly pound the guns with regular rounds.

[@jwwesselink]

The gas assault chammont is realy strong actually. Shots never bounce, and you can mop up entire buildings. And noone expects it

[@WASRSASR]

Tank hunter land ship is lit

[@elementaleighteight]

The putilov garford reconnaissance variant is the best...Oh wait

[@elementaleighteight]

As for teamplay..if you have 2 tank squads working together the garford recon is simply the best..on amiens in can spam the flare and give warning to any MINES and campers and can lay it's own mines.. It's so very good with the automatic airburst.. When driven correctly..not backwards.omg wtf.lol with gunners it simply melts infantry and it's speed is unmatched.

[@welkingunther5417]

The FT 17 (light tank) is definitely my favorite. The light flanker is more anti-infantry, the howitzer is a tank destroyer, and the close support is kinda in the middle.

[@Warkingist]

I find myself loving the flanker tank, artillery truck, and the assault tank alot out of all the other tanks, i especially find the artillery truck usefull on open maps, especially when attacking on objectives like the first part of Kaiserschlacht, first two Oil of Empires, ad such, i see it usefull ot only as an artillery piece, but also as a way to spot tons of enemy soldiers for your teammates who are going into the fight to cap the points, i also see the flanker as an LAV as a mean to destroy enemies in urban close quarter maps like Armiens where enemies would be clustered in ally ways and you can demolish them while placing mines on flanking roads

[@bidumb6566]

I can't help but notice that you didn't even acknowledge the existence of the Putilov Garford. Was it just too bad to mention? i was kinda disappointed with the Putilov to be honest :/

[@iceintheair]

Bidumb not a tank

[@bidumb6566]

He reviewed the artillery truck so I think it'd apply to the Putilov. I mean they're both in the same category as tanks

[@JS-311]

Bidumb Putilov is op when you get the hang of it. Here's some tips: learn to drive backwards all the time (the thing even has a faster speed in reverse, I swear) and use the anti-tank variant. That loadout makes it more powerful than the St. Chamond Standoff with the tradeoff of less armor

[@bidumb6566]

I try to use the anti-tank variant mostly too. Like, it's a 3-4 shot kill to most tanks plus the AT grenade is pretty good, it's just I always get stuck in a lot of places. It's certainly got a high skill ceiling that's for sure

[@massaweed420]

Shalan Sharma maybe if you're going up against a tanker who has no clue what they are doing lol Putilov is 2 shot kill for most tanks, and as long as the tanker can aim at moving targets and doesn't just sit there outside of cover, no way the Putilov would win in a 1v1 fight against a tank.

[@TheGroteJoost]

Heavy assault tank is the best option in the game. It’s strong, can hide between buildings got smoke and quick repair. Is by far the best tank in the game. I play the objective and capture flags with tanks and never had less than a 40 killstreak using this tank!

[@JackStewart316]

Standoff assault tank because one you get used to the main gun and using the spotlight to make sure nobody sneaks up on you with rocket guns and since the main hv round has so little drop you can slaughter tanks from crazy distances as well as close

[@F95XM1]

Best tank in the game. The angled armor is super effective if you know how to use it. When I use this beast I'm 90% of the time the MVP.

[@JackStewart316]

JPAWSI I totally agree but it definitely takes some skill to use I also always drop smoke and let my tank roll down a hill while I repair and everyone is throwing grenades at the smoke but I'm already 30m away

[@JackStewart316]

Lazurkri I actually think the gas one is the least useful but I'm definitely open to the idea that it's not because I havnt used it much and I have 30 service stars with the other ones also I don't think he's stupid I jus think he hasn't played enough (lol the light tank is his favorite and that's my least favorite) but I definitely don't honk he's stupid because his videos are usually pretty accurate

[@piguy222]

I really wonder why you don't have more views, your vids are really informative and helpful.

[@andrewleah1983]

The tank hunter landship is literally the best in the game.

[@Ben-bv9zr]

I think you underrated the standoff assault tank, I find the flashlight on it much more useful than the artillery strike, all you have to do is use it and it spots every single enemy within view. Couple that with the secondary mg it lets you pick off players at range and up close while you may not have even seen them before while providing all the spotting information to your teammates. The pigeon is just a panic gadget and essentially lets every assault player on the enemy team know you are on low health.

[@AKAARTOFFICIAL]

I believe I may have underrated it too. I have tried it but still don't find it useful but clearly many players in the comments here do! I am a flanker tank man :D

[@Ben-bv9zr]

I'm personally an artillery truck man anyways, but when that doesn't work flanker tank everytime

[@ximbabwe0228]

Haven't watched yet but my top 2 are: 1. Tank Hunter Landship 2. Breakthrough Heavy Tank Being able to take out the enemy tank is the most important role of a tanker imo

[@duke0salt717]

The light support was actually beefed up, since the resent update its been given more damage output for it's main gun and the useless conister rounds were replaced by a machine gun that can snip also the shells actually damaged enemy tanks now

[@dirtybacon93]

Artillery truck is the best imo. Those camping are doing it wrong. Gotta stay mobile near the objectives but not on them to get the best use out of it. It's weak ass armor is the deal breaker for super aggressive play.

[@oAPXo]

Flanker is god on Amiens (maybe other small maps like that) Standard arty is go to for any map. (Wrecks on Sinai) Heavy breaker/assault or whatever it is with the 4 seats is standard as well. And tank hunter land ship is key of all 3. But that's just me.

[@usernameL1]

Great video, but I don't share your opinion on the Heavy Tank tho. I got 12 service stars with the basic Heavy Tank loadout in just under a month since the game's release. Sometimes a squadmate would spawn, but at random. The HE rounds of the basic tank deal more damage against infantry.

[@RameezRazaRiaz99]

My favourite is artillery truck and howitzer tank but I don’t camp with artillery truck. I go about capturing points and annoying enemy snipers

[@AlTalkspodcast]

I really enjoy the landship. It's quite fun to use.

[@WASRSASR]

Exactly

[@Schw1cky]

Important thing to note for the heavy breakthrough tank: the main cannon is armor piercing, not high explosive, so you have to be more accurate against infantry because the splash damage is much worse.

[@maticsajovic3142]

[@andrewleah1983]

The anti-tank landship on Volga River is the shit, especially if you’re defending. The amount of kills I’ve accumulated is unreal. Even if you’re a gunner and not the driver it’s amazing.

[@superdupermax]

mortar landship is actually pretty good in some places. With a good pair of gunners to keep infantry/enemy armor away from you it is great on ballroom when defending D in Operations. You are safe from direct fire and can rain hell on the very tightly packed enemy team.

[@Journey_to_who_knows]

Mortar Landship is great for a push, underrated, stay with a team charge, launch a mortar on the obj as often as possible and use the mg to kill those retreating and you can keep a decent distance until the team gets there with your help, there’s a reason it’s separate from the mortar truck. But yeah if you don’t have a team you’ll get wrecked by other tanks or you need to sacrifice anti infantry for Ap on the landship it’s packages suck ass, if the mortar or squad came with a HE it would be the strongest choice by far. It’s fits the general tank doctrine in this game, never drive anywhere near the objective until it’s clear or you’re flanking in a light, if you’ve seen those gifs with 900 bombs melting tanks in a second that’s the best way to witness that. Never separate from the team as a single assault scrub can ruin your day with tnt spam. For that the flame assault tank is almost useless because if you are in flamethrower range you are basically committing suicide.

[@Whisper91Films]

The squad support landship is honestly my fave, but you don't need two friends for it. No, only one who will pay attention and listen to you if you tell him to switch sides

A single decent support player with smoke and repair tool is all it takes for an assault tank to absolutely dominate the lobby. Luckily one round I was playing as a repairman and I got a good tank driver, and together we racked up like 60 kills and helped push the entire enemy team to their spawn (on Ballroom Blitz). By the end, the entire enemy team was hell bent on killing both of us with constant stream of grenades and rockets, but thanks to my repair and some smart maneuvering from the driver we almost managed to make it to the end.

[@shrimpshot1581]

light close support tank. Ability to take on infantry and tanks on an equal playing field, while being able to resupply and heal your teamates.

[@DaltonUber]

Flame tank is great for taking out the Char 2C. Take out the rear runs on the behemoth and roll right up on it's rear and light it up with your flame thrower. Does insane damage and literally melts it's health bar.

The stand-off tank variant is the best because of the spot light that hi-lights every enemy in front of you no matter what weather or distance and kills tanks very easily My opinion is that the St. Chamond is one of the best tanks if you use the one of the two variants you dissed

[@joaogomes9405]

Boy you could not be more wrong about the gas assault tank. Those explosive shells are fantastic at clearing points, buildings, trenches, choke points and just about any enclosed space where enemies are likely to bundle up, and the gas is great for helping your team advance. It also works well against assault players carrying rocket guns, as they wont be able to aim with them if they're being affected by gas.

[@samdaiker7203]

The land ship was intended to support troops so it was ok for it to be slow

[@futurehero0999]

The squad support landship its a great way to push againts enemy lines and has a HE bullets for the pilot and 1 turrent on each side and has hmg like the motar

[@CaptainTomAN94]

I love how people continue to misunderstand just how good the Gas version of the Chamond is. You aren't supposed to use the gas much (even though that is the name of this version), but you are supposed to use the AMAZING bouncing HE cannon! This thing has 3 MAJOR advantages over ALL other tank shells: 1) Massive building damage. It crumbles entire houses in a couple shots just as well as the Howitzer light tank. 2) Low bullet drop. You can snipe across the map like an artillery truck! 3) IT BOUNCES! You can shoot enemy tanks and infantry around corners and windows, and it has the capacity to hit targets TWICE per shot. The direct hit does damage, then it bounces and damages again! So it can shoot through an enemy infantry, bounce around a corner, and then hit a tank for 20 damage - all in 1 shot! Then throw in the fact that it can self-heal, and deploy a barrage of gas quickly to escape or hold off an entire team at a distance. The Gas Chamond is a diamond in the rough almost no one has noticed! The only weakness of note is that it really can't snipe enemy aircraft out of the sky. But honestly that is what the machine gunner's job is.

[@nicklab1927]

When I discovered the Saint Chamond, I mostly used the gas variant. I think this is the only tank effective against trenches. Shooting the edges of the trench will cause the shell to detonate like an airburst mortar, just above the enemy's head. The airburst shell are also very forgiving when aiming at fast-moving targets (low flying aircraft or running infantry), cause it's more like an area of impact stuff than perforant shell. If you think the gas shells are useless : aim for elevated points filled with snipers. You will kill no one, but make these snipers inoffensive to your teammates.

[@CaptainTomAN94]

I have gone entire matches without dying (and got dozens of kills), but I could also do that with most tanks ;)

[@CaptainTomAN94]

Nocolas If Yep the gas is useful since it has nearly zero bullet drop. You can hit enemies LITERALLY across the map, but just keep in mind it only lasts for like 2 seconds and won't kill anyone by itself. It is excellent at finishing distant people off or getting them to move though.

[@MellowBiped]

I guess it comes down to the player and their tactics. I use the stand off assault french tank very efficiently. I don't camp with it, I play the objective and i play it very aggressively at that. Went 58-0 in the thing with no gunners, was unstoppable. No assault players could get me and every heavy tank they threw at me I turned into scrap metal. For me the french stand off assault tank is my most effective tank. But like I said, I guess it comes down to the player and their tactics.

My favorite tank is the light tank close support and it has a 360 degree cannon

[@Jason_Scott80]

Heavy assault tank is by far my favorite. Not a fan of the breakthrough tank at all though. Just way too weak against infantry.

[@yugoslavianweeb8007]

Fave Tank is the Anti-Tank Landship. It's a bit easier to defend yourself with the back cannon and I like it because it's the first World War Tank. Never surrender.

[@hazardo4378]

Which tanks can be stacked though?

[@Secret_Takodachi]

HazardO if I ever saw someone assemble a Mark 5 Voltron in a regular game I'd have to stop attacking and just start crouching up and down in approval. Bonus points if they stole a Mark 5 from our team and triple stacked them into the ultimate tower of power haha

[@PewTheToaster]

Tank Hunter Mk.5 is good for clearing rooftop snipers and shutting down medics hoped up other own medicine.

"randoms arent good for you as they will bail wheh you start taking damage" me: ride or die baby also me when im repairing them and start getting shot at: if i die, i die.

[@tyceshirrell1681]

Lmao I love the light flanker. I can always knock out Tank’s easily.

[@Z.O.M.G]

The renault ft isn't the best tank, but it is for me. It holds a special place in my heart. Though I prefer the light close support

[@banjobill8420]

don't even have to watch it to know it's the FT-17. Sincerely, an FT-17 light tank main. My flavor of choice being flanker and playing like a big sentry. Try not to engage landships if I must but with my speed and maneuverability I can get behind and delete their side howitzers. I remember when the FT-17 close support had shotgun instead of mg. Good days.

“Artillery trucks could be the best tank in the game if people used it offensively instead of campy” Tbag epic gaming.

[@JimmyDean59]

Playing the MK5 Landship is like “SHOOT ALREADY” vs playing the assault tank which is just better in every way because the driver actually has control over the gun. Edit: I disagree completely with your stance on the Light Close Support tank because I believe it is amazing at holding objectives and taking out enemy armor. I once took out 5 of their tanks when our field guns were not in range. I also captured three objectives by preventing tanks from overruning Objective A on St. Quentins.

[@G_Alves]

as a player who likes play with vehicles, in bf1 is kinda sad (I know because its was WWI) if you play with tank just rushing you gonna be gone like in 20seconds and you never gonna get another one because the respawn take the whole match lmfao

[@CaptHotah]

I hate ANY tank that i cant turn the turret 360°. Thats why the flanker is always my go to.

[@ashmyblunt]

I like the light flanker tank, by far the best. Melts infantry and can out maneuver most other tanks.

[@GingerNinja-is9kz]

I personally love the landship because of its team play capability, but thats just me

[@phillipcurl]

I generally switch between the Howitzer and Flanker light tanks. I feel they are some of the most versatile land vehicles in the game. Don't really like landships or heavy tanks. Arty trucks are fun to play with as well :)

[@Sniper_4_Life]

2:27 why ? I managed to survive a whole match in it even though I was on the objectives the whole time , I used the mortar only to get people who were behind cover

[@andersrobertsen7610]

I like to use my tanks as mobile spawn points

[@Sniper_4_Life]

@@andersrobertsen7610 YES, someone gets it. I can't even tell anymore how many times I was behind enemy lines and capturing a flag, yet not a single person thought of spawning on my position to speed up the process or flank the enemies

[@kryptekfunnies7473]

I'm only good with landship, assault tank gas is meant for firing into building but mostly a infantry killer, standoff is pretty much a sniper I'm vehicle form.

[@randomguy51090]

As much as i hate the mortar truck it rips camping tanks apart. That mortar 3 to 4 shots tanks and u can spam it with enough accuracy to immediately kill them

[@prazcuray1388]

The gas assault on Amiens is the best, richocet shells into alleys and buildings

[@Raccoompf]

For the light tank I was able to go 30 and 1 with the close support it can heal team mates nd it's quick repair is amazing during conquest

[@coolstorybrooooo7643]

Best tank is squad support landship. Its a spawn point, drops ammo and has beefy main machine gun.

[@user-lf3cg1is3t]

The land ship is one of my fav tanks in the game to be honest but u have to have good teammates in the tank not the ones that shoot at buildings and hills and the ground also u have to have the right variant like the tank destroyer witch I like best out of all the variants for the land ship
