Hell Let Loose - TANKER'S Guide to Everything [PART 2]

[@Sharkkangaroo]

Thanks for the guide, keep them coming!

[@monoespacial]

Thanks man, I appreciate it!

[@kennethbowers2897]

I've discovered a counter to the Tiger 1's abrupt stop, just tap the W key and the tank will start to slow down rather than it forcing itself forward. I've also found that if you can master downshifting the gear speeds while tapping W it will not only help reduce speed but you won't have to worry about shifting gears afterwards because it'll already be done.

[@MadcapOP]

I honestly feel that I can play as a decent tanker because the guide videos!

[@ShapeshifterOS]

The example you made @4:00 could use improvement. Instead of not doing anything you could back off and reposition to attack from another angle. Before engaging another tank you should always consider nearby cover or concealment to enable a quick retreat.

[@PvtPartzz]

This game is so much harder because War Thunder has conditioned me to know what has a chance to penetrate the armor of these tanks and at what angles and half of your shots would have never penned in War Thunder. Perfect example being the Tiger you took out at 4:50. No chance in hell the 75mm pens the 80mm angled side armor of a Tiger at 600m

[@JesseV-gf3ct]

Yea it doesn’t make sense, it should’ve just been tracked

[@sonofdepression2667]

What an amazing video! Keep up the great work! TEAMDIXX loves creators that show newer players how to compete, and you've done it perfectly!

[@ShapeshifterOS]

I like pressing the attack in a Tiger personally. A skilled enough driver will know how to slow down without too much jolting of the gun. Moving at a slower pace, what I call “walking the tank forward,” you can fire the gun on the move with a decent amount of accuracy if skilled enough at gunning.

[@MrGhazkull]

Thank you for the nice Guides man, good Work 🙏

[@waynelee17]

Good video again. Much appreciated. Are you able to do a short video on the recon vehicles? They've got features which are difficult to understand.

[@monoespacial]

To be honest, I would have to play with them a lot more first. Recon vehicles seem to have a mostly passive role in the back line which doesn't fit my playstyle at all.

[@waynelee17]

@@monoespacial I agree. They have some cool features from what I can tell though. Perhaps another subscriber could do one. Thanks for your reply too

[@BossmanJackEdits]

4:12 lmao that emergency braking

[@That_Montage_Nerd]

As a veteran World of Tanks and War Thunder player, this kill at 4:42 upsets me deeply.

[@jackburton9214]

If you have a good spotter/commander that is aware of flanks a Tiger is tough to beat imo.

[@siLence-84]

Lol panther is better in every way.

[@PrivateJoki]

Love the Battlefield Music in the Background ^^

[@MR-ck3rj]

I‘ve been playing a bit now and I just hit lvl 32 - these videos are great to get better! Thank you!

[@HLLTAF]

NOTICE: the game has been updated a lot since vid uploaded

[@zaratustra00]

Goos stuff, keep it going mate.

[@ruliz21ify]

Is the BF1 sound track playing in the background? It sounds oddly familiar lol

[@ИльяХристенко-е1б]

Overall very good and useful guide. But we need more briefings about tanks’ weak spots, maybe one detached guide ‘bout that. You will keep growing with this game’s community.

[@ИльяХристенко-е1б]

Also forest maps with tanks and approaching with infantry, urban fights. There’s so much to talk about...

[@monoespacial]

Check the link in the video description. There's a full video showing every damage area and hits required

[@ИльяХристенко-е1б]

@@monoespacial Yes, thanks. I've also seen Tigers being shot from Jimbo76 or 75 in the turret by 2 rounds.

[@dyslexicgaming8698]

Another great vid!!

[@monoespacial]

Appreciate that

[@andrewmandrona7891]

I think they should have gone with Pz. IV and Tiger, or maybe Pz. IV and Panther. Having the Tiger as a heavy and Panther as a medium in a video game doesn't make much sense, as the Panther had much better frontal armor and a better gun for tank-killing.

[@monoespacial]

But the Tiger had the 88 cannon which was pretty famous for tank destroying... right? In any case, I would love to see the Panzer IV in the game, as well as the British and Russian tanks

[@DefendinMyBase]

@@monoespacial Panther's 75mm was a much higher velocity gun, whereas the Tiger's 88mm was actually a downgraded version of the flak 88 as it couldn't handle the full gun. The Tiger II got the "real" 8.8cm gun on it. The Panther had 80mm of sloped frontal armor versus the Tiger's 102mm at a negligible tilt, meaning its hull was basically impregnable to 75mm guns and maybe penetrable by a 76mm. The turret, however, was much more vulnerable than the Tiger's and a 76mm could easily pen it out to 1500m. Also its side armor was significantly thinner, basically penetrable at any range by either the 75mm or 76mm. Lastly. The Germans themselves referred to the Panther as a heavy tank, as it had long gone above medium tank weight classification when it hit the scene.

[@weybye91]

@@DefendinMyBase sure the panther had sloped armor, but it was still a weaker tank that the tiger. a sherman and T-34s could pen the panther from all angels, while the tiger were a beast from the front, not even the firefly could pen a tiger from the front from the ranges that the tiger could engade in, while the tigers 88 could pen and destroy any tank from 2000m. thats one of the reasons that there was a term during WW2 that was named tiger fobia, and every tank the allies killed was a "tiger" cause it was so feared with good reason

[@darthioan]

@@DefendinMyBase M4 76s did not have good enough optics to reliably aim for specific parts of a tank at long ranges. Maybe under 500m, that would have made sense, but crews would not risk it anyway due to every shell varying it ballistic quality, and therefore repeating the same trajectory between shots was impossible (unlike videogames). Panthers had good enough optics and high enough muzzle velocity to hit specific parts of tanks at 1km combat ranges, but most crews were awful by that point in the war, so it did not matter much. US doctrine was for tanks to break through and leave tank fighting to other units (tank destroyers and aircraft). "Bypass and haul ass".

[@twinsnails4983]

@@weybye91 That’s simply not true The panther was a better tank in every single way The main weakness about it was the trap shots and weak Turret armor

[@middleagedgamers7750]

Great video. Good info on them even with changes. Any chance for an update video? Like you cant look at enemy squad types anymore.

[@JackTheNoober]

Great guide but I was left with one question. Does angling of the front plate play any significant role regarding armor penetration like in world of tanks, war thunder etc? Like example if you are engaging enemy tank with a panther, should I just turn the front directly facing the enemy tank, or angle it slightly sideways? Same goes for when shooting at enemy tanks, if the enemy is angling it's front do I need to shoot it's closest front corner where the angle is lowest?

[@monoespacial]

It does, or at least it should, but tanks are kinda broken right now. It's wildly inconsistent. They are gonna start to fix these issues with Update 9 which should be coming this month.

[@theexiledjedi1207]

Nice guide👍🎖

[@monoespacial]

Thanks! I'll work on Part 3!

[@biggamoonpye1497]

Make a light tank, I think the light tanks are super fun and easier to drive

[@samuelnemeth7764]

Gret video dude, especially the chart of demage each tanks give each other. But as a tank enthusiast i have to point out that the 76mm sherman is not a jumbo. It is a m4a3e8 tank that holds nickname of “Easy Eight”.

[@H4ckw0rth]

This is incorrect, the tank in the game is an up gunned jumbo, the easy 8 is not currently represented in game.

[@patriotstate]

I've been in a tank for about 150 games now. I've taken all of the vehicles, except the tiger. I would always prefer the Panther or 75 Heavy. The cromwell is a bit faster - but this doesn't really show up in the game. The only map where I might find the tiger useful on El Alamein. But real tigers fought at 1500-2000 meters, and we won't ever see that in HLL maps.

[@MrMoli192]

10:40 Wait so they still havent changed the Sherman medium to have the 76 in-game despite the model having the 76 gun?

[@robrobusa]

4:52 - they really didn't have a great spotter/commander, did they?

[@erichtofen2992]

is tank armor and gun damage stats still work in 2024 november?

[@tooler8689]

4:50 As a War Thunder player, this triggers me

[@sovietsosij118]

same lol

[@duongngole4785]

8:20 wait, how?

[@monoespacial]

There was friendly infantry close by for some reason.

[@BravoCharlie]

Thanks!

[@kylewright7882]

Please pass this on to infantry guys… so many people just expect tanks to assault points and be bullet sponges.

[@Trigg3rHippie]

I wonder how 7 years in War Thunder will translate to tanks in this game.

[@monoespacial]

let me know!

[@gcgrabodan]

I would say it helps. With aiming but mainly in terms of tactics. driving and damage models are however quite different

[@callumhawke9942]

how do you change seats

[@johnzhaopt5038]

wait thought the jumbo has the same frontal hull armor as the tiger but it is tilted

[@TomCei]

Man, I hear you about the panther....but that turning speed SUCKS!!! No turning unless you are in 1st. At least in the Tiger you can turn quickly in 4th gear!

[@Turbo-jj5wp]

My favorat tank is the jeep

[@ekaf3544]

Sry, but the primar target is to support the infantry and not killing other tanks.

[@monoespacial]

If there is an enemy tank lurking and you don't focus on taking it down, then supporting the infantry will give away your position immediately to the enemy tank.

[@ekaf3544]

@@monoespacial killing an enemy tank also is a part of infantry support. But there is no reason for a tank if they just try to kill other tanks. It's like planes are just there to fight other planes, but the reason for them is to fight tanks and infantry or fight off other planes. To be honest I had written the comment before I saw the full video and later you say yourself that infantrie should be supported. I've just played games where the tank drivers thought that infantry only fights infantry and tanks only tanks. Accordingly they were not willing to support the infantry and we just waited far behind our own lines.

[@matro2]

​@@ekaf3544 You are right, this is a good point. Tanks sitting around waiting for enemy tanks to show are a waste and defeats the advantage to having armour if they're only to neutralise enemy armour.

The difference between gun and cannon is blurred tbh, but a tank has a gun cause the Tank Museum call it a gun.
