BUT DO I DRIVE IT FORWARDS OR BACKWARDS?

[@rustedopus3414]

Flakfire always backwards... always

[@Rogue9]

+Flakfire my recommendation is forwards for out-of-combat travel or quick escapes. Backwards when close to the enemy. 😄

[@mikeoxlongg]

Hey flak

[@gheolei]

If you drive it backwards it will be slower compared to driving forwards.

[@denn0574]

Flakfire i always drive backwards, for escaping youre faster than forwards

[@kaiserairsoftentertainment1129]

I've destroyed entire groups of tanks with this vehicles and almost fended off against an army of assault players with this, so I think this thing is just a bit underrated by the bigger community

[@patrickmonahan5272]

I admit that it could work well it lacks what other vehicles have while being awkward and you can get stuck in trenches In a ww1 game

[@thelasttaarakian]

Its an incredibly stupid vehicle.

[@shockwave6213]

I just went 108-0 with the Putilov Garford Armored Reconnaissance variant on Galicia Operations as an attacker. Dear God, those shrapnel airburst rounds fuck up everybody in those trenches.

[@Machiave11i]

Yes, the splash damage is what does it. I've seen so many guys duck down into a trench thinking that they won't die on the next hit. They always die.

Hey, look at it this way: use the shrapnel to clear out the building instead of just leveling it, then let your teammates move in and have a huge party - with rocket guns, Martinis, Blackjack and hookers. ;)

i once picked this on accident knocked out 3 tanks and capped 2 points in succession "is this the power of ultra instinct?"

[@Fr0stbite1801]

The words "Assault Truck" will never not make me laugh.

[@thej8656]

Is your humor finally different after 6 years

[@theprophetofthepastagod5633]

I suggest the Mark V for the next “which is the best variant video”

[@jonasdenison2382]

no doubt squad support thats the best variant

[@andreivaldez6713]

Tank Hunter variant - just dunk at every vehicle with the anti-tank rifle and have a competent set of gunners to help and also deal with infantry.

[@shadowwolf2608]

Mark V please, it is a very interesting set of three tanks

[@FakeNewsMonthly]

That ending XD

[@thijs6636]

So I have an idea for a new gun for the tanker/pilot class. So basically tanker/pilot dont have ranged weapons, the m1903 air service is a short version of the m1903 springfield with a 25 round magazine specifically Made for plane/tank operators and its historically accurate aswell

[@thijs6636]

Stylin' and Racially Profilin' ye boi

[@lizardizzle]

"How can you look at this dumpy truck and call it anything but precious" were the first words out of my mouth upon trying it. I love it.

[@derrickchilders9670]

I have 100 service stars with this truck (reconnaissance variant of course is my go to) so once you really get the hang of how to use it, and especially if you are an attacking side on operations, its a perfect choice.

[@slydevil4759]

On some of the new russian maps you can only choose between this truck and Artillery truck. I would definitely chose this, most other people chose Artillery truck because it's easyer to use, but this one can own any Artillery truck because it can move and shoot, when you get used to the awkward controls. I also had a lot of fun with it on Galicia operation. Smoke bombs for everyone!

[@napoleonfool]

I love these series. Keep up the good work!

[@creeperfilmprim5469]

I always take it on Galicia because I can help my team more than with the Camper Truck

[@creeperfilmprim5469]

Suggestion for Next Video FT-17

[@Zander823]

I use the at variant as a search and destroy truck for locating outflanking and destroying enemy armor on large maps. Also at point blank 2 good shots and the at nade can take out a heavy tank very fast.

[@xx_gamexperience_xx6923]

I love this tossing the empty Shell out animation😍😂👍 Btw great vid👌🏻

[@sickleandsuckle]

The recon truck looks fantastic for flushing out. I've been finding myself needing to do more of that when approaching capture points.

[@sopori9037]

I'd love a light tank video, but I'll watch whatever you have come next either way.

[@Pancakus]

A good assault truck on galicia is all you need to win the map as an attacker at operations: smoke grenades with low cd, supplies, its fast and furious, plus your teammates will spawn on you and disembark if you stick around objectives, and that means more bodies to contest a point . But you need to be really careful about where you are going because that map is chokeful of pits and craters, and this vehicle sucks at traversing them. You may even get stuck. Also AT elite shreds this vehicle in seconds. Protip - if you need to quickly traverse your turret to a different side, you can quickly swap seats and have your turret reset its position. for me its faster than doing it just with mouse. Also rebinding the "change seats" button to something less awkward than f1

[@jroggs85]

Nice video. I like the concept behind the Assault Trucks, it's what the vehicles in the game should be. But they will rarely be touched so long as players can keep using the easy-to-use vanilla and TSNP one-player-juggernaut vehicles.

[@william_brobrine8975]

The truck is Really good for drive-bys on tanks and armored train behemoth and the AT truck is my favorite because the Drive by tactic is Really fun to use especially agents the train because you can chuck a AT garnade while diving by with a cannon angled the way your driving past the enemy

[@murderousintent7838]

Thank you for this video I was finally able to use this vehicle effectively and get that codex (I'm a codex hunter)

[@Luey_Luey]

I've had the best luck in the anti-tank variant. It could be argued that the higher damage-per-shot panics people a bit more, plus it can come in clutch when the enemy repairs somewhat (shots to kill in actual engagements are rarely quite as straightforward as the stat tables indicate). But what sells it for me the most is the very flat trajectory, which makes it much easier to reliably hit targets, and at greater range. The splash damage of the AP cannon being so low is also a blessing in disguise - in tanks without a driver HMG, I often run into trouble when I've been firing at infantry and don't have enough shots in reserve to take on another tank. I can use the HMG on this one to engage infantry, and the low splash damage disincentivizes use of the cannon against infantry, so I'm always full on AP ammo and ready to take on enemy tanks when they appear I'll have to give the recon variant another shot, but when I last used it, the airburst shell was very underwhelming. for those sorts of shots I would be more likely to just take the st. chamond's gas variant, since its bouncing shells can achieve much the same while also being able to destroy buildings, and much more effective against tanks

[@Benny.Driving]

Was the "Awe Camaan" a reference to Brekk1e? Good video.. can't wait to see Light tank soon

[@GIboy1990]

well no wonder the Russian DLC Operations are so hard to attack. NOBODY KNOWS HOW TO USE THE DAMNED TRUCK!

[@sidkapoor9085]

Good video mate.

[@Rogue9]

Thanks, glad you liked it! 😀

[@Antimanele104]

BF logic: a 300 kg motorcycle can crush a solid brick wall. An armored 10 tons truck can't even dent it.

[@nikitakrylov7669]

I actually really like the assault variant, it makes flanking really fun, especially on Sinai desert.

[@GhostZodick]

Very good video. Thanks! I pretty much always drive this truck backwards. Otherwise it's hard to aim. The AT version can be very useful at times. It is pretty much the most powerful cannon in the game, and it flys straight. Very useful against faraway vehicles. It can two-shot disable armored train turrets.

[@omnissiah7859]

I love that thing. If u know how to handle it it can be devastating. Mostly use the AT variant tho. One significant advantage over the artillery truck is the fact that u can use the big gun while moving.

[@GenralSmog]

My favourite version is the recon, as you can use the flares to find enemies behind cover and then shoot them with the flak shell

[@FalloutUrMum]

I use the recon variant. My strategy is actually to drive into an enemy crowd and blast away, the side gunners also get things to shoot at this way but you need to wipe everyone out quick due to the armor

[@Machiave11i]

Highly underrated vehicle. I regularly go 30-0 or higher with this thing. Always drive it in reverse with the recon package. The main gun has ridiculous splash damage and you can pick off snipers across the map or anyone in general who happens to be hiding behind cover. If someone does try to attack you, you can easily drive forward and away from them in a flash.

[@f0rl]

Love the recon variant, I've been using it since I discovered the shells. I love it in the operations mode on the Russian maps, it's just perfect to take out enemy snipers.

[@Nitresco]

A shame you didn't mention its unique ability to remain incredibly mobile while being able to operate its main cannon in a 288 degree arc. Kinda surprising actually since your favorite variant heavily favors and rewards driving around enemy forces while constantly harassing them with unavoidable explosive damage. Also, the turret takes reduced damage similar to the Light Tank. Placing the truck correctly behind a bit of cover can essentially make it so the only target-able area of the vehicle is the turret. Between this and the ability to speed around the map while still shooting things makes this truck a lot less flimsy than you think.

[@Taolan8472]

Those proximity shrapnel shots are pretty good against aircraft too. Knocked down a few attack planes coming in for bombing runs.

[@netvideotv5347]

Taolan8472 really? I have 6 service stars but never hit a plane with the shrapnel shell but I've destroyed quite a few planes with the anti tank shell...

[@Kae13rdan]

Rogue-9 can you do a video about the cavalry class, and about its armor compared to the other elite classes?

[@calint123]

When you deploy this truck switch your keybinds around. W & S get swapped. A & D get swapped. It only takes a second & you can drive the vehicle like normal. The headlights are extremely situational but at least you have them for that rare moment your team defends you & you want to blind the enemy lol

[@siedler084]

I like the Reconnaissance variation the most. It got a good enough mobility to move around the battlefield and can devastate infantry heavily like a quickly moving Armored Truck can do but it has the added benefit of being a viable mobile spawn point. Also clearing out people behind cover is just such a huge advantage. I find it that it works best on maps which have a Tank Hunter kit and it is in posession of one of your teammates

[@Rogue9]

I agree with the sentiment that his vehicle works best when your team can at least halfway keep enemy armour at bay. In the first few rounds that I focused on using it to get enough experience to be able to talk about it, I was on a weaker team and constantly getting swarmed by assault infantry and getting flanked by enemy tanks that were camping near our spawn made it really hard to get anything going. When the teams are more evened out though, the recon is a beast!

[@adammcallister5773]

I figure the light tank is next and I am exited

[@ginagaytan7242]

Bruv the at grenade makes it a 3 shot kill it's help me out several times even against mark v tank hunters it save a lot of time if you get close enough than it will give an advantage over the other vehicles

[@gabenplznerf1093]

Congrats on the battlefield friends award!

[@Rogue9]

+Holden McKroin thanks! 😄

[@Alpha--1-4]

I LOVE THIS TRUK

[@GabrielTrinka]

Keep this ride on the go. It's best used while constantly moving. Trust me!

[@darylnisbet5699]

top tip if you're using the putilov against an enemy tank or even infantry (but only when you're not likely to get clusterfucked with at grenades) is to use the speed to dive past the enemy and change to the rear gun to wreck havoc from behind, it works really well against most enemy tanks ive came up against and it's super useful for flanking the enemy when they're busy or camping in a house

[@Rogue9]

+Daryl Nisbet ha, really good tip. With the tanks being so cumbersome, barreling straight past and shooting it from behind is brilliant

[@darylnisbet5699]

Rogue-9 it's quite good for maps like ballroom blitz over near d where you can get behind enemy tanks without them seeing you easily enough and then wipe them tae fuck. you should try it some time!

[@djrtg]

Love this truck. Recon variant is my fav. I notice that the turret on the PC turns really fast. On console it turns slow. I must be doing something wrong.

[@drivernephi7494]

The assault truck honestly wouldn’t be bad if it didn’t have the cannon on the back of the truck but also if the cannon could rotate 360 degrees

[@thethreemusketeers6045]

4:52 what is the vehicle Image that is next to the assault truck image

[@thedarkfaegaming]

I have never chosen this vehicle, nor will I ever unless I have to get an assignment with it.

[@celticlad5866]

So your telling me a motorbike can destroy a wall, but the assault truck can't... Makes sense.

[@kingnugget4050]

In my opinion, the AT variant is the best, as the HMG shreds infantry that are running fast, and you can use the AT rounds to kill stationary infantry, and use the grenades on some maps to flush out camping infantry. Also it’s super fast so it makes for a good hill arty truck camper killer.

[@kingnugget4050]

This is just an opinion, I’m not saying that it’s the best and everyone should use it, so I hope there isn’t gonna be an argument in the replies.

[@thej8656]

Me personally i go with the assault variant because it’s pretty versatile and can also drop ammo and health crates to support your teammates

[@kingnugget4050]

@@thej8656 don’t think I’ve ever used it honestly

[@PropeIIant]

For me, i like the at truck the best. I am able to effectively use the mg mixed in with direct hit shells. You also forgot one minor detail, at shells do not ricochet unless they hit the roof of a heavy tank, mark v, or st chamond. Ive hit killstreaks of 60+ with that variant

[@RedZeee]

The best variant of this is the artillery truck or the light tank.

[@andyrihn1]

AT all the way for taking out enemy armor. It’s especially helpful on Galicia

[@aMiyafuji]

I've been using this a lot more since this video and I really like it, except on the maps with lots of trenches... This truck gets stuck waaaay too easily

[@RadekZielinski.]

Artillery truck - Art truck Light tank - Toy squeaky duck Heavy tank - The shopping basket Assault tank - The toast bread Assault truck - The garbage truck

[@sgtpepper3161]

After playing it a while and messing with controls I was able to be a flanky menace. Anti armor is pretty devastating especially when most other vehicles don't think they'll be 3-4 shotted. Always have an exit plan like with the Arty Truck. Grenades are just a last ditch effort to survive when you're waaaaay too close, usually never works.

[@My10thAccount]

The Assault Truck is great for one type of person. Somebody who doesn’t have a crew, is capable of surviving infantry attacks, but is garbage against vehicles and has enough experience behind the wheel to overcome the odd handling. The Truck is worthless in a gun to gun fight with a tank, but if you don’t have a crew or you just suck at that kind of fight then you’re not losing anything. Meanwhile you’re gaining the ability to be more helpful to your team than a light tank or arty player by giving up close anti-infantry support. As well as being a mobile spawn point. It’s my personal favorite choice of vehicle for all the aforementioned reasons. Plus HMG>Canister Shot as a secondary weapon. Longer range, more shots, sufficient damage, greater accuracy, etc.

[@BigFatJuicyMonkies]

How do I adjust the settings so that the turret moves faster?

[@McLenwe]

[@pletchlupus2306]

[@etsnobrd8551]

unrelated question, but is riding a horse out of the play area to kill enemy snipers in hordes on suez considered cheese? oh yeah, and then repeating that same action as soon as another horse becomes avaible.

[@thefuzzysheep3859]

I find that using the anti tank truck is best against vehicles. One reason is the heavier gun and because you can toss an AT grenade at the enemy.

[@EvelynH-tj1qt]

Man I love battlefield but my only friend who owns it doesn't play ever and if he does it's only 1 round.

actually, you can always stay at 2nd seat while moving this truck, and if you need to look in front you can hold middle mouse button to do so , its also makes it easier to rotate your turret...sry for bad english.

[@Rogue9]

+陳亭錡 hmmm, that could be a good tip. I hardly ever use the rear view button, because it wasn't really available at launch and I don't even know where I mapped it to 😅

[@brokenbmw3441]

It's the Light Tank. Shells do different damage depending where you hit it.

[@plapkoki4119]

Is this a bf1 video I forgot about this game tbh

[@EpicThe112]

Nice job Rogue 9 and in consoles it isn't used much in They shall not pass combined Warfare Maps and original game maps due to its speed and weak armor that's why I am seeing more assault tanks from the they shall not pass DLC for its durability which are needed in Maps like Amiens monte grappa St.Quentin's Scar Ballroom Blitz Empires Edge Sinai Desert Fao Fortress Soisons & Rupture all are combined Warfare maps. In Empires Edge and Fao Fortress this assault truck can be destroyed by two well aimed Dreadnaught shots and happened to me when the squad leader left the truck while in Soisons this truck can be used for suicide Rush in operations due to its speed leaving the tanks behind up to first sector

[@moibrahim17112]

I never ride as a gunner on putilov because they drive backwards and the gun angle is limited

[@moksih4329]

its super powerfull, you just can circle other tanks and keep behind it

[@Hielkuh]

Ah nijs. :) Now I will use that truck to become HANZ the president!!! Never used it because I didn't see the pros for it.

[@Rogue9]

+Hielkuh the recon variant turned out to be surprisingly good. On open maps against other vehicles, I can see the AT truck being useful as well. The assault truck didn't really work for me personally

[@halcyonkonahrik9807]

The only reasons for me to use Putin truck are that it's a slav truck that drives best with hardbass, and that there are skulls and russian words painted on it

[@MrFusion]

Can you switch the controls for the tanks so that it's like a standard vehicle? If not, I wish that you do that, because the Assault and Artillery Trucks handle like shit with the tank controls. Also, in case you're stupid like me, try driving it in reverse, so you can use the cannon with more efficiently.

[@Fenrick]

Yes, you really should be using the Veteran control schemes (with toggle zoom) for all vehicles. Without it, pivoting on the ground and maneuvering in the air is a hassle.
