BATTLEFIELD 2042: CAV Brawler Anti-Vehicle Loadout & Conquest Gameplay (Season 6)

[@chllen]

That electric smoke is nuts, Glad you described that in detail Timeless :D And my god some vehicle drivers have that APS down on when to kick it in. Can be so frustrating. Game defo comes alive when ya got a Great Squad with ya. Great Edit Mate!

[@timelessgamer_UK]

Thanks a lot, really appreciate it. APS is King, and the TOR ability to bypass it is so clutch. Look forward to your next stream, I'll be there as work allows :)

[@Goldendroid]

If you want an exact number, the Flak cannon has exactly 200m of range.

[@timelessgamer_UK]

Good knowledge, thanks! I’m still not sure how the numbers translate in game so I judge more on the size of the object in the sky 😅 But that makes sense as a Lissile (a measure I know very well) is 450, so less than half of Lis. I should’ve said that… damn

[@charlessandel]

a bit off topic but does anyone know the exact range of the stinger now after they changed it and made it a bigger range? whatever it is it feels a lot better now

[@xraselver7634]

Man, seeing those turret turn speeds as a console player seems completely insane ^.^' I wish more people would pay attention as gunners other than the few friends I've made in this game. And I really thought you would use the Jojo reference "Oh you're approaching me? I can't beat the s*** out of you without getting closer." :D

[@timelessgamer_UK]

I know just where to use that one - I think we need an anime edition episode!! Yeah I mean a lot of my gunners do have their heads in the clouds but when it comes together the magic just works. I definitely prefer to be the driver on the crew but I’ll do my shift on the guns. Even better when as you say you can get a few friends together.

[@Poganator]

Man, this setup looks great for CAV, I never bothered with it since I thought it was weak but now it has a new purpose

[@timelessgamer_UK]

Really glad you found the vid useful. The CAV is anything but weak, it’s a tournament winner with a good crew & a bit of luck. Right now in my servers it’s one of the few things keeping excessive air power at bay.

[@IsaacFNghost]

@@timelessgamer_UKI have a lot of experience in the cav just driving it and hoping randoms take the gunner seats. I have only used it up until this point as anti-personnel but I can’t wait to change some guns and try to fight some other Vic’s now! Thanks for the vid bro

[@AlphaSniperAcademy]

Love the Highlander reference at the end haha

[@timelessgamer_UK]

You know I was going to put in Connor Macleod saying “there can be only one” after the final scores, but I thought the movie was too long ago for anyone to get the reference 😅 Holy Ground, Highlander!!

[@AlphaSniperAcademy]

@timelessgamer4359 Hahaha I just started watching your channel man and its filled with great references. I do think the crowd here's a little younger lol They might not get them but they're gems for people like us

[@timelessgamer_UK]

Top Gun & True Lies next 😃

[@d2shortstop735]

I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend running IRISH. When you are at objectives you can quickly hop out and put down his trophy system. The trophy system will eat all of the air vehicle explosive projectiles, all of the enemy rockets and most of the ground vehicle explosives except the tank shells and TOR shots. When retreating and your APS is down you can also hop out and quickly deploy the trophy system to save your CAV from enemy rockets. Of course having passengers as engineers is extremely helpful. I did this today and the trophy systems ate a ton of projectiles. This combined with repair tool and APS helps keep the CAV alive for days. :)

[@timelessgamer_UK]

Oh man as a driver I’d love it if someone Irish’ed for me. I’m wedded to my RPG and popping out to get the clutch shots / watching for C5’ers, but having a Trophy system spread out I can loop around whilst on the objectives would be magic. One day I’ll have the full crew! To clarify one point you said there, can Irish not stop tank shells?

[@d2shortstop735]

​ ​Yes unlike the APS, Irish's sentinel that he places down can not eat the tank shells (the tank's primary fire/ TOR shot equivalent). Running as an engineer is a good call, hopping out and getting clutch shots with the RPG is very useful and that is what I had my squamate do 😃. I love playing this game with a teammate and the teamwork is heavily rewarded . 👍 @timelessgamer435

[@dinosaurbros8908]

I like to think that in the bf universe your a combat personnel advisor showing future soldiers how to use the Brawler reliably and flexibly.

[@timelessgamer_UK]

That would be quite fun - this equipment costs $5M so please use it effectively and try not to get blown up in under a minute 😅

[@gangsta_goose]

CAV is love. The additional protection against c5 and mines is really nice too. It has better surviveability than the MAV.

[@timelessgamer_UK]

It’s just all round better than the MAV, they need to revisit & rethink its proposition. I can’t imagine many people choose it anymore.

[@AntiSocialElf]

I have learned a lot of things from this, excited to try the CAV next. Thank you for the awesome video

[@timelessgamer_UK]

Thanks!! Would be brilliant to have a game night with you on the ground for a few rounds :p

[@A2Zireael]

Even though I've had a CAV T1 Master for a long time and know everything you said in the video, I enjoy watching the video and it's even better because it's ultrawide and it looks perfect on my ultrawide monitor

[@timelessgamer_UK]

Glad to hear you enjoyed it - I think I’ve managed to teach myself how to get rid of the black bars which is very pleasing, hope to give you more ultra wide vids from here on out.

[@Vestionax]

Nice video. Great content. As a jet pilot, 20AA are very powerful when you hit the rear wing. Disrupts the balance of the jet. It will definitely crash.

[@timelessgamer_UK]

Good knowledge - I’ll try it ;)

Love your vids. SO skilled vehicle gameplay is really pleasant to watch. If only I had friends to play in squads lol

@@timelessgamer_UK hmm. Those are getting harder as I chew through the available music selection on YT.. lol.. 😉

[@krazyknul]

Very good Video Timeless! I always fear the CAV and most of the time don‘t even try to take him out because 3C5 in the back isn’t even enough. When fully equipped it‘s probably the best vehicle in the game because you really can fight anything with it. I have a mate that loves to spawn the CAV brawler on top of C1 on Spearhead and shoot over the little edge, and often enough he survives the whole game. That thing is really strong. Loved the video!

[@timelessgamer_UK]

Have you seen the ‘new’ Spearhead tactic of rushing at the start & calling in CAV / AA LATVs onto the roof with Irish trophy turrets? The 200m Flak cannon range is bang on the aerial spawn zone for the US side. It’s so broken! Every match now at spawn I’m waiting to catch the Hind / Pond Hawk runners 😅 Thanks for the support as always - the CAV is indeed an absolute monster which in the right hands can defeat anything. Sounds like your friend has the right idea - I have a GREAT run when I jumped out of a pond hawk and stole their Wildcat being repaired on C2 roof. Absolutely slaughtered the ground crew & no matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t dig me out 😅

[@krazyknul]

@@timelessgamer_UK Haven't heard of that yet, but i can imagine how damn strong that is. If i would see this, you could be sure the squirrel is on the way with c5 in it's hands :D Stealing enemies Tanks is the best feeling :D And then making it work against them big time! That was probably a great feeling i guess? :P

[@timelessgamer_UK]

There's nothing better than turning their own against them -- and then watching waves of them die to their own stitch up. I have to admit I was unable to break the fortress on top of E1, though in fairness it was about 20 against one! If you see it, be sure to clip it ;)@@krazyknul

[@kaffridzukail]

Extremely good video showcasing the CAV!!! Today I learned that smoke launchers can actually kill ppl! Tip of the hat to you for the Titanfall anti-rodeo reference.

[@timelessgamer_UK]

Nobody is shooting out my core - though I have to admit one of the major uses for it was equipping it to a light frame, triple dashing in to bury quad rocket shots at point blank, popping elec smoke and then self destruct eject. Yes, I am a jerk 😅

[@2Can-Dan]

Great info as always. Haven't played the CAV much tbh. I'll have to follow your loadout and get some practice in. Nice :)

[@timelessgamer_UK]

Have fun with it, it’s actually a cracking vehicle especially if you’ve got friends on comms. If you’re playing with randoms just remember you can only do so much if others aren’t pulling weight. There will be rough times, but it’s worth it. Enjoy!

[@2Can-Dan]

@@timelessgamer_UK that would mean Id have to buy some friends lol. But yeah, similar to the Wildcat and Tanks. If you have a good crew...cool. If not, a bit hit n miss...literally.

[@timelessgamer_UK]

You know, I’d love to get some games in with you one day. Really enjoy your channel. Just putting it out there :)

[@marzipandan767]

Nice video man :) That clip where you fought the MBT, Wildcat and MAV was absolutely clutch! Great work. I definitely think the CAV is the best choice over the MAV because of the APS. It's just too useful. Plus, the antipersonnel cluster launcher definitely makes it more fun to be the driver compared to the MAV.

[@timelessgamer_UK]

I really thought that MAV had me at the end, it must have spent all its 50 rounds for me to have got away with my side showing. I couldn’t agree more the APS just makes the MAV irrelevant, as does having two engineers protect repairing you on the move. The MAV needs a rework for sure, as does the Condor. As you say the MAV is slow and boring to drive / nothing for the driver to do. It’s just not fun in comparison. Thanks as ever for the support and glad to see how awesome your channel is doing. I’ve started flying btw, Elf will be disgusted when he sees it 😅

[@ChrisHersh42]

Fun video. Cav is one of my favorite vehicles. About 200 kills from T1 mostly on breakthrough. There I think the fire grenades are best. Awesome AOE and noob friendly since I play solo. It hurts my soul when noobs get in my cav and use the apds for infantry and machine gun on vehicles. So frustrating!

[@timelessgamer_UK]

Yeah you could make a completely different video on CAV in Breakthrough, where Canister Shot & Incendiary Rounds rule the day. It’s such a Beast of a vehicle. What kills my Soul inside is when someone uses the AA Flak to shoot at infantry, completely ignoring the aerial targets I’m trying my damndest to get them in range of 😅

[@Santi_ramos35]

The cav is op man.. and if you have an engineer in your squad, game over 😂

[@timelessgamer_UK]

It’s a beast there’s no doubt about it - thanks for checking in, hope all is well and HNY (still January so can say it)

[@scotlandmcturk659]

your content is great. Really enjoy the videos. WIsh you produced more BF2042, tips and tricks help me a lot. I'm going to use the Cav more often, never knew what that sound was, now i know it's electric smoke. thats badass.

[@timelessgamer_UK]

Thanks for the support - I make them as fast as I can but I only post a video when (I think!) I’ve genuinely learnt something and have value to pass on. Anything you want to see next? I’m planning on an update on the TOR or discussing Crawford. Yep, that sound is the electric smoke for sure - guaranteed death to anyone around the CAV. I couldn’t believe it when I first starting playing with it, it’s so powerful!

[@scotlandmcturk659]

if u throw it online, I'll watch it... I don't have a particular theme in mind. I typically play as Lis. Love that dam missle. I don't care about racking up infantry kills . I chase vehicles around, it's so satisfying. when I sneak in there and get them.@@timelessgamer_UK

[@ywsx6489]

Throwing out pizzas or c5s from the back of cavs for vehicle chases is fun af.

[@timelessgamer_UK]

I’ve come SO close to landing a pizza delivery but to this day, I’ve never pulled it off. I got 2 hits on a RAM which survived with 1% health. So pissed 😂

[@realcdcruze3558]

Thanks for this. I didn’t realise the smoke could be used also as an offensive weapon.

[@timelessgamer_UK]

It’s one of the best things about it - enjoy! The MAV is terrible, it really needs some attention since the CAV came on the scene

[@aces6262]

Jumping out as an engineer with the recoilless or RPG-7 is the way to go, you need that extra rocket to quickly take out MBTs. Even better if you have two engineer so now you have two rockets. Can you experiment if the engineers behind can resupply while being inside the CAV from an ammo box that is stuck on the CAV?

[@timelessgamer_UK]

Absolutely agree re: rockets, it came up a lot in the vid. I'll check out the resupply, never thought of trying it!

[@aces6262]

@@timelessgamer_UKHalf of the time, I actually jump on the CAV and stay on top of it to protect the CAV from C5ers with LMGs to make sure I have enough bullets, with this I have a 360 degree view so better awareness and firepower against vehicles assuming my recoilless is out but this in turn makes me VERY vulnerable so I usually stand behind the 25mm APDS turret and go prone. Although, any form of explosive that hits the turret means I'm probably dead.

[@timelessgamer_UK]

I've never done that on the CAV but I do regularly ride along on main battle tanks and MAVs to give additional firepower / repairs. It's good to hear ppl are dedicated to looking out for their vehicles, makes a huge difference to the gameplay. I don't mind at all going down to save the vehicle@@aces6262

[@aces6262]

@@timelessgamer_UK I would die to protect friendly vehicles every time possible because vehicle cooldown is long especially for armed transports and MBTs since they are most versatile vehicle on the field, losing them meaning longer down time that makes your team gimped. Jumping on MBTs are also a lot safer because you can hide behind the turret (on the engine deck), the M1A5 has the largest turret followed by the T-28 and the least safe the RAM, and go prone with your repair tool and stand back up and pull out your RPG if your tank is on a duel with another vehicle. Love the vid!

@@timelessgamer_UK yes!

[@IsaacFNghost]

I’ve been exclusively using the incindery rounds as my gunner seat 3 since I’ve unlocked it. Has it been nerfed or is it better to have something else? Is that the slot where the anti vehicle gun goes?

[@timelessgamer_UK]

The rounds haven’t been nerfed and they’re definitely the pick of choice if you’re playing Breakthrough. The problem is on Conquest, air power (in my opinion) is horrifically overpowered. If you don’t have something to repel an Apache / Hokum, Nightbird or Jet - you’re dead. Simple as that since Season 6.

[@jussivalo1945]

Very good video!! And the hind fat choppa video was also brilliant🙏 i really like that you think about strategy and you have team first attitude...and in Battlefield there is so much strategy and you do so many things with vehicles that help team. Me and my friends have a same kind of play style example with hind choppa and brawler. Again very wise playing👍☺️ mayby mavi video in the future?

[@timelessgamer_UK]

Thanks I’m really glad to hear you’re enjoying the channel - BF is an incredible franchise & I really love the team gameplay, no other FPS I can think of even comes close. The MAV is a little difficult to make a vid about as there’s really not a lot to say about it. The weapons load out is pretty obvious, it doesn’t have APS or countermeasures and is incredibly slow. It’s also crippled by EMP attacks. I can’t think why I’d pick it over the CAV 😅

[@nanazhou1053]

Great vid!!

[@damienmcdonald7610]

Wow awesome gameplay, i do like the cav because its fun to be the driver as well as the weapon stations being good but i dont play it much because i always get noobs or ai that ruin seat switching. Im t1 in all tanks, the ram, jets and helicopters and almost in the bolte too but i just get annoyed with random ai that jump in and either waste all the ammo or when you seat swap just start driving in the worst possible direction 🤬 thats an update id love to see, ai that actually listen to the "get out" commo rose 🤣

[@timelessgamer_UK]

Thanks for the support - AI can be a pain but lately I have to say the Asian (South East Asia) are seeing really good player numbers. I’m closing in on my T1 dream for the RAM, Jet I am a million miles away. Locking vehicles to prevent AI entering would be a good feature. Something that does make my blood boil in this game is when a player spawns into the driver seat because I had to switch guns and refuses to give the vehicle back. May your pillow be forever warm and unfluffy!! It’s so little to ask to just slide over and give the vehicle back 😅

The is is very true - 2 engineers on their game repairing & using the RPG is immense

[@felipelabouriau6964]

The incendiary ammo for the 2nd gunner is a absolut must against infantry and I think it is more reliable than the AA

[@timelessgamer_UK]

I would absolutely agree if it were Breakthrough, but on Conquest? I fear death from above!

[@felipelabouriau6964]

Yes, I agree that, in teory, the AA is better for conquest. But is hard to find a player that is willing to play with a gun that is not very easy to use thanks to its limited range and is pretty much useless against infantry. Anyway, the Brawler is lots of fun. Keep up the good videos! Regards from another timeless dad from Brazil

Can the AA cannons take out infantry ?

[@timelessgamer_UK]

Yes but only if you spend a disproportionate amount of time on them or they’re low health. The AA gun is definitely very bad at Infantry kills. For example, it won’t stop an Engineer C5’ing you even if you fully concentrate on them, if they’re on full health.
