Hey guys, today we're going over the 3 tanks that are available in the BF1 closed alpha. Note: there are going to be ways to configure these vehicles beyond what is available in the alpha.
Thank to this guy for loaning me some of his footage / mashed8de

I sincerely hope they add an exit animation to vehicles. I hate when I'm taking on tanks and, just as I'm about to kill them, they just pop out of it and either kill me if I'm an infantry because I'm not prepared, or they get away if I'm also in a tank and I don't get the kill. If they've already added an entry animation, why don't they just round it out by also adding an exit animation?

[@J-Dizzle95]

I agree, otherwise there's almost no point at all!

[@raymondgeuss43]

They will, remember IT'S NOT THE FULL GAME.

[@BlackbirdSJ]

+WarWolfTheAcePilot 88 Hey, in the BF4 beta I was like "don't worry, dice will probably fix the instakill levolution" but BOY WAS I WRONG. Thank god they fixed that shit in BF1, a much more polished game.

[@2222zach]

even though you immediately get out, your gun will be lowered for a few seconds making it a lot harder to just hop out and kill the attacker

[@brandonkyc1472]

Still it ruins the purpose of having an entry animation if there isnt even an exit one

[@LevelCapGaming]

Note: throwing a grenade into the tank hatch may only be a single player option.

[@Bobinarea52]

WELL THAT SUCKS :\

[@raymondgeuss43]

Damn, that would have been awsome.

[@Devinn504]

U can't throw grenades in tanks Westie already confirmed that this is false information he talked to the Devs

[@raymondgeuss43]

+EllisD We know, he just that.

[@gluemuncher1986]

=( I was hoping they would put that into multiplayer. Reminds me a lot of Call of Duty 3.

So glad this isn't "historically accurate" or anything like verdun. I don't wanna constantly get spawn killed from mortar fire or random bullshit deaths.

[@G-Mastah-Fash]

Battlefield is the king of random Bullshit deaths.

+Roland Deschain correction that's cod

[@G-Mastah-Fash]

King Xa Nah they're pretty even on the annoyance level for me.

[@averageinvestor4986]

+Roland Deschain Haha true but I'd rather be annoyed playing battlefield

[@yungdomino4718]

I got excited for this game, hoping it would be historically accurate. now that I know its not, I don't think ill buy it. ill probably try it though

[@davidskoglund1406]

[@AmericanHairlines69]

Guys remember when we used to buy games at launch without knowing anything about it? Ye I miss those days.

[@Ebenezer563]

Then stop watching videos on the games you plan on buying.

[@ivan8309]

Same, that was part of the reason bad company 1 and 2 seemed so great. No one did research and the destruction physics and large scale warfare caught them by surprise!

[@anomaly2733]

Pre-orders exist unfortunately, and having the gameplay prior to release helps with people who seek to pre-order...that and it entices players to get the game when it comes out or to pre-order. Edit: I'm an idiot, oops. Didn't read the whole "remember" bit...yeah, I didn't like those times. I don't like the idea of purchasing games to be down to either a dice roll or me rummaging around looking for reviews.

[@AmericanHairlines69]

+Ebenezer I do. I'm blaming developers mostly.

[@AmericanHairlines69]

+Megumin Reading a riview after the game launch is not the same as watching hours of gameplay 5 months before release. I can understand 5 minutes of general gameplay, but from here to starting with explaining everything that it's in the game is total shit. It spoils the experience of discovery wich made old games great.

[@MrDaantjuh13]

You cannot climb on a tank, open a hatch and trow a grenade in!! This was debunked by Westie!

[@slyfox333able]

Only for singleplayer. But yes it isn't in multiplayer.

[@nanda-re2yp]

that's good tho

[@MartyFromMCP]

However I did see someone climbing on an enemy tank in an actual animation so there must be something there.

[@slyfox333able]

+MartyFromMCP No. It is only in single player.

[@MartyFromMCP]

But I saw it in a multiplayer video

[@omicronquantum8390]

Hi LevelCap- I spent a whole semester working on a video and presentation specifically about the WWI tanks. Here's some historical stuff if you or your viewers are interested- Light- French tank, the Renault FT (pronounced "renown" without the "n")- used from 1918 till the start of WWII, at which point it was rendered obsolete. Medium- British Mk... V? Earlier versions had a set of wheels behind the tank to keep it from flipping over if it hit a trench. Heavy- German A7V, very few ever produced (something like 8, and all but 2 were destroyed in duel with British Mk. Vs, Brits won. Don't quote me on the numbers, though) You very well may have destroyed more Heavy tanks in that game then there were ever produced. All of these had serious mechanical issues, and most wouldn't function 85% of the time. Most were lost because of mechanical issues during combat. Petrol fumes were so bad that crews wore masks inside the tank even when not faced with poison gas attack. Renault Ft had crew of 2, Mk V had crew of at least 6, and God knows how many were in that A7V. Hope this was at least mildly interesting to you. I'm excited to see what the tanks will be like when it comes out. And by the way, don't whine too much about them being "OP" to infantrymen, its still a tank :)

[@Schnaqer]

It's weird to see an A7V tank with british markings on it or a Mark V tank with german ones...

[@semiedgv]

Yeah, it's kinda strange how they did it.

[@LordDarthHarry]

To be fair. The germans probably had more captured enemy tanks than A7Vs

[@ultr7712]

Well from what I know,the Germans did capture British tanks but for the A7V,there were too few tanks to ever be captured by the British.

[@sandwhich1172]

I guess it's for balancing reasons

[@Turbofurby]

But to be fair, there are a few accounts(very few) of British troops capturing A7Vs.

[@yeet8463]

last time i was this early, I made a shitty joke about Britain leaving the EU.

Been watching a lot of your alpha and beta BF1 vids in preparation for your upcoming BFV videos :D

[@ivvan497]

Germans spawning in french tanks ? British spawning in german tanks ? Tankception ?

[@dominicha5092]

No, historical inaccuracy *explosion💥😎

[@kostam.1113]

They used a lot of captured tanks, then just repainted them. Tanks vere very valuable in those days.

[@ivvan497]

Kosta M. Only british had tanks and it was "landship". Others are post war tanks that never saw combat.

[@mocnijogurt]

check your facts :)

[@linusorm]

+Kosta M. except they didn't use captured tanks often at all.

[@LordHotDogg]

The real question is: can I ride on a horse to a landship and stick a rock inside the gun? ;)

[@specialagentgeralt9763]

As a vehicular operations specialist... I am in love. Not only is there a perfect variety of tanks each suited to very specific rolls, but I can actually help my comrades on the ground with more than just firepower. Being able to drop health and ammo was a brilliant idea DICE!!! BRILLIANT!!! Renault FT and MK V for the win!!!

[@bananaboy482]

Nice video man! Keep it up!

[@willabe566]

That light tank is called the Renault, the heavy tank is called a A7V and the land ship is a mk 4

[@REALjohnmosesbrowning]

mk 4 m8... the mk1 never fought

[@xen0vantage542]

Yes

[@JamarD421]

Renault Otsu since it's the Japanese that have it.

[@andrewreegs6319]

It's either a MK4 or 5... and +Italiamerican the MK1 saw limited use in the first Battle of the Somme (1916) before being replaced by more effective models such as the Mk4 in 1917.

[@REALjohnmosesbrowning]

Andrew Reegs Really? Didnt know that

[@ethanmcguire98]

Need to make a climb animation getting out the tank it's so annoying when people jump out when their tank as it is about blow up

[@Turbofurby]

It's going to be in the final version of the game.

[@helljumper3465]

+Turbo furby is that confirmed?

[@Turbofurby]

Yes

[@helljumper3465]

Good it's annoying as shit on bf4

[@greatmeme]

+Turbo furby Source?

[@ballo3734]

Awesome video LevelCap! :)

[@strikeone7803]

Fact: in case you didn't knew, there were two types of Mark V tanks. the Male version (seen in game) had the standard anti-tank guns while the female versions only had machine guns mounted instead, and if the Germans captured a female, they will replace the machine guns with TankGewers (The anti-tank weapon used by the the tank hunter elite class) and replaced the Munition to German-produced calibers. and the captured tanks by the Jerries were "Beutepanzers" Beute= loot or treasure and Panzer= Tank

[@kopfjager6833]

Heavys (in realistic) should one shot the light because it has a 75mm cannon (front gun)

[@panzerfaust3607]

57mm*

[@stopit9280]

[@NerdHubbers]

My Solution to the Bolt Action Debacle, Current Draft- Preface: Dice is not obligated to make a historically REALISTIC game, but they are obligated to make a historically AUTHENTIC game. Want to respect the lives of those who were thrown into that slaughter and what it means for our human condition? Well we have a duty to make sure we don't bastardise the public perspective of the war. There is a middle ground in between the BF formula that we're used to, and a MilSim, so stop thinking we have to go to either extreme. As a note, I'd recommend to everyone who is interested to listen to Dan Carlin's Hardcore History podcast: Blueprint for Armageddon series about WW1, really good. I've chosen these issues because from my understanding of game development, they are very easy to change before launch. >Recon/Medic should have full access to bolt actions (medic was apparently confirmed for BA use) recon having scopes, and assault/support having a single bolt action, which will change based on faction, battlefield 3 style. Hear me out, I can explain. -Bayonets should be bolt action and semi-auto only, SMGs are already good in close quarters,(as well as all ranges, quite OP) in addition. Bayonets give too much in their favour, and it is historically inauthentic to give them as well (IMO they're ugly with them too.) Bayonets only work on long rifles IRL, and it's for the purpose of giving a close range backup attack when using a long range rifle like a BA, plus the long barrel acts like a spear in use. No SMGs had bayonets in the war, and we know that SMGs in general were hardly in the war at all. I can deal with their presence in multiplayer, though the bayonets are bullshit, for historical and gameplay reasons. >When I say a single bolt action for the other classes, I mean to still let scout/recon have full range of bolt actions. All are available to unlock regardless of faction, and in the case of scout, can have scopes. This makes the scout into a real WW1 pro sniper, differentiating them from the other classes' use of bolt actions. Remember that at that period in history, snipers were using the same rifles as the footsoldiers, but with better training and scopes. If you play assault for example, you could start with your faction BA (SMLE if British, Gewehr 98 if German, etc) just like the faction starting weapons in BF3. After you level up once or twice you unlock the specialized weapon chain for that class (assault gets shotguns and SMGs, support gets LMGs etc) The BA use for other classes should be limited in order to prevent the classes from becoming too similar. The BAs would be optional, and allow for both bayonet use for attack based classes, and the historical accuracy that entails. Imagine how cool operations trench warfare will be if the assault class can make bayonet runs just like a real trooper. Meanwhile, the sniper can still use any BA they want with scopes and such just like a real WW1 sniper. I think those are the two most important things that I think of off the top of my head that would be really easy to fix. Bayonets only for BAs and Semis (this seems bad for gameplay for SMGs to have bayonets too, they didn't IRL, I repeat), as well as faction BAs for the non-sniper classes. Thoughts? I'd love for people, especially the big KZbin celebs to help push these ideas, people usually seem to agree with these ones I've found. I think these solutions are the key for two problems so far. What else can you think of? >Peeve- The default iron sights on the Mauser C96 rifle for the tankers aren't accurate for the time period at all, not sure why they did that, all they'd have to do it cut off the top ring. Oh yeah and the pistols are really close to your face, that's just annoying not historical or anything :p PS: That metal armor from the trailer is historical bullshit and it'll make a bunch of people think that Knights were basically In WWI :p PSS: I really want the music to have a lot of old military brass/trumpet/bugle. It really captures the WW1 feel, AC Syndicate used it well in the WW1 segment.

[@NerdHubbers]

+Megumin if paragraphs don't work, nothing will.

[@Devinn504]

Dude stfu

[@EddyMac1903]

I like this.

[@EddyMac1903]

+Future Ruler of Ukraine Maybe also give the Scout's rifles enhanced accuracy or range. Not only would they have scopes, but snipers' rifles were specially selected from standard batches for their quality. They also used better ammunition.

[@EddyMac1903]

+EllisD Mature.

[@liesejunh]

I love how you spawn as a mechanic in vehicles. It gets rid of the guys who'll ride a jet only to eject onto a rooftop to snipe. It's a waste of a vehicle lol.

[@ianj.2651]

TANK YOU for this wonderful advice!

[@Conkreet]

Do a vid about that huge balloon with guns on it

[@Skii_McGee]

[@Kazidgeridoo]

+Lisinski Gaming Zeppelins actually. Zeppelins have an internal structure while blimps rely on the pressure of the helium (or hydrogen) gas to maintain their shape.

[@TheMOISTgrenade]

I like that logic lol

[@battlepayed9428]

+Sean White Boi Fresh Seanv - Yes they were, they were also in the great war.

[@VdeoGamer456]

+Sean White Boi Fresh Sean They would be useless in a war. One bullet shot from any gun and the thing would fall to the ground. The reason Zeppelins were used was because they have multiple layers of "armor" on them, and would fly higher than a blimp would, making it a harder target to hit. The Germans also used the massive flying thing as a phycological weapon. Many Allied soldiers would stare in awe at it and be shocked.

[@xmojoshadowx2829]

The last thing I saw was my alarm clock flashing 12:07 before she pushed her long rotting nails through my chest, her other hand muffling my screams. I sat bolt upright, relieved it was only a dream, but as I saw my alarm clock read 12:06, I heard my closet door creak open.

who quit cod for bf

[@sondreevensen790]

i do. i've maxed my account on bo2, ghost, aw, and lvl 400 on bo3. I'm fucking done with flying around, until the bf1 release i'm going to play CSgo

+Sondre Evensen bf4 is still a great game btw

[@blackcatthegreat182]

Quit???? More like Add, im gonna be playing both these fine games all day long.

[@zelkrov2359]

+Sondre Evensen You should play Bf4 first. That way you can get used to how Battlefield works, but one thing you should always know, PTFO(play the fucking objective)

[@Gam3P1ay]

Will angling the tank armor play a factor in the amount of damage you take from other tanks as it has in previous titles?

[@pirate5019]

Fun Fact: The actual German Sturmpanzerwagen tank or well known as the A7V could hold up to 18 crew members.

[@patrickazzarella6729]

Wait both fucking teams get the A7V no no no no no what the fuck why not make the mark five the British heavy and have both teams have the Renault and the landship for both teams but have the mark five have its two main guns and three machine guns like irl. Or just remove the landship altogether

[@Oogbooga117]

Who cares,its just a video game. not a WW1 simulation.

[@patrickazzarella6729]

RL But still idc if its a sim or not at least on what team gets what vehicles that should be set I hate people complaining about historical accuracy in this game but this gets to me.

[@anomaly2733]

Game balance. The A7V was (probably, I'm not big on WW1) the only German tank used during the war. Would it be fair for the Germans to only have it as a tank when the Brits get the landship + light tank? Historical inaccuracy for game balance, unfortunately.

[@mundas4157]

Still its stupid, the same would be in BF4 if everyone just used the Abrams

[@ImJohavan]

Technically speaking, the FT-17 LT belonged to the French (Whose ironically not in the base game)

[@jonathancormack]

dude, what happened to the guy on the left at 5:22 xD

[@eagleeye3195]

Ummm... Exit glitch?

[@keineahnung8696]

Mat cheating as always XD

[@calebbonsall-pearson3218]

Good vid man

[@TechnicallyCalm]

I wonder if you will be able to change the weapon on the tank considering there where different calibers. It was a lower caliber , had was a mag and could shoot very fast. But the trade of was it did less damage, less penetration and the reload was a little longer.

[@nilsmeta641]

last time i was this early, the U.K was still in the EU like HOLY SHIT STOP THIS COMMENT

[@olivertoronyi2462]

booooring -.-

[@MartyFromMCP]

The plane crashes in this game look seriously disappointing. No damage to the environment, no explosion. The plane just disappears. I hope that's changed for release.

[@Skii_McGee]

its alpha gameplay travis

[@lazerrhino]

Yeah it's alpha, but also I'm pretty sure biplane crashes are a lot less exciting than jet crashes

[@SahilP2648]

There would be no explosion because of the speed and no combustion engine being present

[@REALjohnmosesbrowning]

Planes used ICE, dude. Just like all piston planes.

[@kirkcooey1655]

If a heavy tank with 6 people in it drives and parks on a point, and no one gets out of the tank, does it capture the point as fast as six people or does it count as one?

[@VdeoGamer456]

Although not historically accurate, I love how DICE is adding in features that make it feel more physically accurate. For example, you can disable a gun or disable the movement by shooting at the bottom of the tank. The way they made tanks closer to infantry like meds/ammo boxes and having tanks rely more on teamwork is also a great feature. Looking forward to playing this. Also, NO MORE FUCKING LOCK ON WEAPONS WHERE A RECON/ENGINEER SQUAD CAN KILL YA FROM ACROSS THE MAP!

[@patrickazzarella6729]

Holy shit there is a ability to jump on the tank and throw a grenade in it cooool

[@dominicha5092]

the game isnt even out yet

[@zelkrov2359]

this is closed alpha

[@greatmeme]

What an incredible observation!

[@David_Quinn_Photography]

I'm pretty disappointed that none of the British soldiers are white, I mean come on DICE. You better allow us to change the color of their skin because this is PC going way to far.

[@willieodea4941]

it doesn't really matter in the last game everyone's white and no one notices or gives a fuck who cares it's a first person game anyway

[@user-eo9zd3mk5q]

+Just Focus and Observe I know right? The assault is black, the medic is Indian, the support is black too, and the sniper is Australian and still black! Looks like they aren't paying respect to all the white people who fought died in WW1! Who is behind these decisions?

[@user-eo9zd3mk5q]

+Just Focus and Observe You are exactly right my man!

[@andrewreegs6319]

It does't make sense to have Black and Indian colonial soldiers running around with whites in the same platoon, since they were divided into seperate regiments. It should be for each round it will randomly generate a race for the platoon fighting (3/6 times white, 2/6 times Indian, 1/6 times Black)

[@user-eo9zd3mk5q]

+Aaron Z. Straight up idiot

[@johndee7124]

Im still a bit unsure how i feel about being forced into a special class just to use a tank or plane, i hope on large maps theres the odd hangar or base with any kind of vehicle as this map also feels small. And i dunno how many tanks can spawn at once, if theres a cap then isnt it gonna slow down vehicle progression even moreso than before?

[@ISAFMobius18]

hey I noticed the tanks have other options besides shell type selection, do you know what are all the option for each class of tank?

[@YTPoljo]

why are people so hyped for a reskined battlefield 4?

[@xPlatiinHD]

What the hell are you Talking about ?

[@G-Mastah-Fash]

Because it's true. Battlefield 4 was already a slightly tweaked version of BF3 with different maps and weapons and then DICE just decided to not even pretend to care anymore and is now basically releasing the same game for the third time.

[@kelechin.1977]

+Roland Deschain You've got to be shitting me? You can't possibly be that dumb.

[@joshcorbett4787]

Hahahaha your a funny cod fanboy. Allright it's not a reskin if most of the gameplay aspects have been changed. The snipers are completely different, the landscape is a lot more destructive, there's no assault rifles, dmrs or carbines, the classes have completely changed, the tap fire mechanic has been Merced for smgs, machine guns can overheat, there's no laser sights, suppresses, muzzle breaks, compensators, flash hiders and most of the grips are gone, the game is a lot more skill based because you can't spot or switch fire modes, there's different ammo types, a class for both planes and tanks, semi auto rifles will be more popular, close range bolt actions will become more popular and oh yea there's a mother fucking blimp. Stick to black ops 3 kid.

[@G-Mastah-Fash]

Kelechi Nwankwo Nice argument there. But you forgot to also insult my mother whilst not even trying to refute anything I said.

[@SeanOfTheDead1000]

This game is going to be amazing I can't wait for October!

[@waterwithcorners6079]

So amazing!!!

[@Adam-hf3dj]

can you pick up tank driver or pilot kit after killing them? and can you force a reload in a tank before using all shots?

[@stephenbalaban3891]

Oh man, that hammer animation! So glad it's changed :'D

[@declangohsman9913]

FT17 (the light tank) was a french tank that was used by the British, Americans, Imperial Japanese, and of course the French. The italians used a copy called the Fiat 3000. The FT17 was primarily an entente/allied tank. Saw widespread use after the war. A7V (the heavy tank) was the Germans attempt at a tank after seeing the MK I-IV. Pretty limited to central powers, unless they were captured and used against their manufacturers. MKI-IV (the land ship) was the FIRST tank to see combat. Designed by the British, used by the forces on the western front including Germans(Because of capturing). These were the first tanks to be tested in combat and also the first to fight against tanks. The one in the footage is a Male MK IV (Because of the two 6 pounder sponsons instead of machine guns) with the Lewis in the front being a female characteristic. Was replaced by the MK VIII.

[@luckysnowmanssnow]

If you're self repairing with other people inside the tank are they still allowed to aim and shoot

[@FlyBoy-iu6xo]

Can the two cannons on the side of the land ship fire while you're repairing?

[@brycelane3261]

So excited for this game

[@brycelane3261]

Getting bored of bo3 ::

[@coenisgreat]

On the off chance that someone actually wanted to know about the historical names of the tanks used; The light tank is the French Renault FT-17 Light tank, made in 1917 and used by both French and American forces throughout its appearance in the war, Revolutionary for being the first combat tank with a fully rotating turret. The Landship is the British Mark IV 'Male' Heavy Tank, the first mass-produced tank in history (about 1500) and a mechanically superior version of the Mark I, the first tank to be used in combat in the Battle of the Somme in September 1916 The Heavy Tank is the German Sturmpanzerwagen A7V, the only tank produced by the Central Powers during WW1, Only 20 were made and it moved at about 3 mph, one-and-a-half less than the Mark IV. The last surviving A7V, 'Mephisto' currently resides in Australia after it was captured by ANZAC forces in 1918.

[@jentel7633]

I adore that repair animation with the hammer xD

[@doremefasolate222]

I still can't piece it together how do you activate the flamethrower in a tank? And which tank has it? Sometimes I have it and sometimes I don't

[@battlepayed9428]

I can't wait for the open beta. I'm so excited.

[@jordancoronado1824]

I will be using the light tank.. Please tell me that in the full version, we can change the canister shot for like a light machine gun? :[

[@skl4189]

I love how level cap says everyone's gonna chase tanks saying I need ammo when no one does that anyways with support classes in bf4

[@definitelynotatroll]

I´m going to try to get better with tanks (I got the full game 5 days ago, played for the first time 3 days ago), so I am going to use support class so I can repair even when I´m not the driver or whatever. Is this a good idea?

does anyone know if the 2nd and 3rd gunner in heavy tank and landship can still fire their guns while the pilot of the tank hit X to repair ?

[@itaymt815]

hi lvl i saw in one of the many gameplays ive seen a barraj of grenades what was that?

[@victoriagaiger5540]

LevelCapGaming if you hit the button triangle on Ps4 or Y on Xbox one when your in a landmark it gives you something similar to a mortar operation rather than swapping seats every time you want to take a shot!

[@joshcorbett4787]

Will there be any different looking tanks in bf1? Or will it just be those models

[@HOODDUBS]

levelcap is the best!!

[@xXxKAMIKAZExXx]

What type of weapon do tankers get? It looks like you're got some sort of pistol / carbine hybrid on your HUD.

[@wickedgymdudes1147]

Level what do you think about the fast grenade throw?

[@lucaslevenson8658]

I'm curious as to what "y" does when firing from the 1 seat. it looks like it shoots some short of shotgun shell. anyone know?

[@keanankinman1508]

The thing that looks like a giant rolling toaster on the battlefield. Couldn't have said it better myself.

[@CanYouHackett97]

Not sure how I feel about modular destruction. It's a cool feature and it makes sense and makes tank combat more than just "hit any part of the tank and do the same damage", but it can be annoying too. When I play WoT, I sometimes get annoyed with it when somebody just takes out my tracks or some important module. But it does make fighting tanks more interesting so I guess it's a good thing to have.

[@chipgrip1762]

do you think it will promote teamwork not being able to noob tube a tank I'm 3 hits?

[@k22567]

didnt get the repair mechanic.. the driver is the only one who can repair.. right? what if I spawn in a tank.. and join another tank driver.. can i repair from inside his tank? or I gotta get out to repair? either way.. it seems some tactics and coordination with that thing would make a fun gameplay.

[@Digital2pulse]

thank you Mark for 100 years of tank engineering!

[@TheSanco26]

Nice first kill. Always nice to see Whiteboy getting a tank shell to the face

[@nino992]

could some one tell me what the specs were on the computers running it just interested in what fps i'll get with 980 and 6600K

[@oscarmejiavera]

its a good thing that most people havent figured out how to repair the tanks, reparing tanks on the go is OP to me. I went 23 and 0 in match where i never left my tank, in that match. I see a balance problem there and the planes are cool but i think they have no porpuose in this game they break in like 10 shots and even aiming at ground targets is very difficult (2 me) you should at least get out of a vehicle in order to repair it and have its engine turned off and make the repair times slower

[@ILoveLampBT]

i like how the tanks seem like they're not going to be complete round changers like some of the other battlefield games

[@godridden95]

This game has so much coverage, I feel like I played it already.

[@rugbyace7519]

whats the best way to find/get in a light tank?

[@OnionRingsGaming]

3:17 was this a mis speak or do you expect there to be C4 in this game?

[@OnionRingsGaming]

Right as am I was just curious if he mis spoke or if he meant to say it.

[@Kollooc]

how i can change in the first person mode in a vehicle? it dont work with "c"

[@CoppaYt]

That was so fucking epic at 9:10 when the side gunner shot that building down!!

[@djrocksgaming6255]

Hey, I'm getting BF3 for the PC and I want to know if there is an online pass that you have to buy to play multiplayer like there is on PS3. Can anyone tell me?

[@iPlayOnSpica]

5:47 What vehicle was this one, again? Some armored car?

[@pjmasterzz]

Can you compare speed of these vehicles (and others) in a future video? Maybe compare to infantry too. Might be interesting :) Anyway, thanks for the videos already uploaded!

[@ImJohavan]

What I hope with the damage to the tanks, is that weak points (such as the hatches) actually have weaker armour thickness and could be penetrated by smaller caliber weapons (LMG's) or when an enemy tank hits such a weakpoint that the shell does either more damage or that it also deals damage to the person manning that gun. So for example, on the Mark V, if there is a right gunner and an enemy tank hits the hatch to that gun, the infantry manning that gun also receives damage. Or another mechanic would be if the infantry is damaged, they can only reload at 3/4th's speed or they are less accurate, requiring tankers and infantry to work together to assist each other in their battles.

[@sb17899]

sounds really cool but just some friendly advice: don't get your hopes up, that sounds a little bit too in-depth for a battlefield game. no harm in wishing a little bit tho

[@iang7244]

If tanks were to have all these intricacies on top of dangers they normally have to look for, such as dynamite, rocket guns, field cannons, tank grenades (which every class can use) air support, other tanks, etc....they would need to be very powerful to compensate for it. Like... a metric shit ton of armor and ridiculous splash damage. Otherwise, they wouldn't be worth using. I understand some people want this to be a very team oriented game, but you have to understand that the majority of players are idiots. The type of teamwork and mechanics you are describing would not work in a battlefield game.

[@KSmithwick1989]

Sounds like World of Tanks or War Thunder, would be amazing though. Too bad some people would complained like because despite being in their early-mid 20s, everything has to caterer to them. In the past people didn't complain because there was no high-speed internet to patch the game every few weeks. You basically worked around the mechanics.

[@thejoojoo9999]

I have some ideas about the "throwing grenades inside tanks" mechanic. I think it should do medium damage to the tank itself (between 40 and 60) but it should kill all the crew instantly. But to balance it, the grenade would detonate only 3 or 4 seconds after being thrown inside the tank, letting the time to drivers with quick reflexes to get out. That way, if you manage to get on a tank and throw a grenade inside, either you entirely wipe out the crew, either you can wait for the crew to get out of the tank and take them down. Also, doing this action should be quite hard (maybe that you should only be able to do it if you managed to get on top of the tank manually) or it would be kinda OP.

[@EraserTraceur]

6:20 its an AC130 basically. Love those things for rush. These tanks have alot of tech yo .....one ejects med kits....one ejects smoke......sick

[@Youtube_Globetrotter]

I played WOT the past 5 years. This is so cool.

[@osedebame3522]

IRL the tail gunnaer for both the A7V got a 57mm cannon as well. There was also an American tank that had two 75mm cannons in world war one.

[@xraptor277]

+LevelCapGaming there is too much smoke and splash out the tank cannon when shooting which block your sight and couldn't notice if there is projectile tracer to help you aiming !

[@chrisridge5504]

Can anyone tell me what specific Renault the light tank is? Also what kind of gas does the gas grenade use?Mustard gas or what?

[@rock-steady-yeti]

I thought you could only heal tanks from inside. Can you grab ammo or meds from soldiers like you could in BFH? I hope they added that in.

[@theenglishtanker94]

The "canister style shot" as level cap calls it is called the grape shot and it is used against infantry that's also why it fires like a shotgun

[@spectrum838]

I wonder if u can shoot the driver of the tanks I mean the landship has pretty open gunner viewports

[@Turbofurby]

the viewports actually aren't open: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8e/Mark_V_Tank_(6264956888).jpg

[@brockfilmzinc1]

Will this game run at 60fps on console like prior to Battlefield 4? (on ps4 and X1)
