[@accumbularatedop5468]

Has anyone noticed that people in BF1 just shoot at tanks with their regular gun? Like I get if this is your first Battlefield game but I mean come on, it's a tank. This is pretty much common sense...

[@chrispr51]

accumbularate DoP lol yes that shit happens a lot

[@chava7571]

Yes I know! Fucking cod kiddies

[@noman1122]

accumbularate DoP I sometime do that out of frustration while playing medic

[@DontAttme]

accumbularate DoP I can take LMGs vs a bomber but noobs listen up, your pistol will not hurt my tank or this train. Run while you can.

[@merc741]

To be honest I think it has something to do with people shooting at the red icons when that's all they can see. I'm guilty of this when defending a position. I quickly realise it's a tank and leg it.

[@KG-bg9qb]

I got killed by a guy in a heavy tank with 66 service stars... 66 SERVICE STARS!

[@KG-bg9qb]

+Demyx holy feces!

[@GekkoGear]

Demyx sorry

[@juttzz618]

I've had one guy , not actually play as infantry but just wait in the death screen for a tank.. and even switch team to get one back, and the heavy tank is 'balanced' Ps, he had 100 service stars (at least) and dropped 100+ kills two games in a row.

[@MrUnknown-wo3zo]

My light tank has 84 service stars lol but the light tank takes some skill unlike the heavy tank

[@aga1nsty0u]

what the point playing only in tank? thats WoT is for

[@davidjohnsen3245]

One tip you forgot: Always go down with the ship! There's been a few times where an enemy tanker gets out becuase he's about to die, then I kill him and steal his tank and start wrecking the enemy team with it. This is especially true for the heavy tank becuase anyone can use the quick repair function.

[@Coconutszz]

and always finish them off if the driver jumps out and you cant get to it. too many times ive repaired my tank from 5 hp because the enemy for some reason assumed the threat was neutralised

[@MistaTofMaine]

I've had 1 tank health before, the enemy tank gave up on me for some reason, and I healed myself 100% than took that tank out.

[@elrayado1228]

David Johnsen I love it when the enemy is stupid enough to get out because there afraid I'm gonna kill them.Shit I'm still killing them and even worse I steal his tank,fix it and go on and kill everyone in their team thanks to them.I really use enemy tanks to my advantage.

[@SashaMasonVR]

Sometimes it makes sense to bail to either throw an anti tank grenade at the enemy tank when it is too close for comfort or when you are far away from danger and need to repair your vehicle very badly. You repair quicker than a single enemy tank can damage you. I had situations already where I couldn't destroy a tank even with a full "magazine" of shells because the tanker was repairing it from behind, or I had situations where I knew the next hit would kill me and I couldnt wait for the reload, then I jumped out and threw an anti tank grenade to finish the enemy. In short: Be smart about what you do and do everything with the goal to use your vehicle and class to its maximum rather than being a pussy not wanting to die.

[@Coconutszz]

Or jump at when death is imminent and proceed to blow new rectums into the enemy with that sweet sawed off.

[@Spectrum184]

It should take multiple people to destroy a tank. Tanks are fine where they are.

[@furiislurudurke9371]

True

[@linkd9553]

Ivan Buncic ur just bad

[@VeteranAlpha]

tnnss111 When everyone on your team plays Sniper then no wonder why the heavy tank dominates the game. I think it's fine where it is. People just need to learn to take out the tanks.

[@VeteranAlpha]

Ivan Buncic Blame the people who don't play the game properly or only play play Sniper.

[@bomoanbomoan9259]

tnnss111 totally agree with you. it should take a full dedicated squad to take down a tank. I am very surprised a guy like levelcap does not know how DICE is measuring the balance. It is done on squad level not individual soldier. It should take a full dedicated and commited squad to take down the most powerful vehicle of the game. The attack against the tank should be well organized and timed.

[@boyceri7805]

I remember winning a 1v3 tank battle. I was so proud of myself after.

[@datwitchyswordfan]

Damn that’s dank

[@iceyywuu]

1v2 i used the howitzer light tank

[@iceyywuu]

I was against a low health landship and another light tank lol

[@CamdenNotThePlace]

Please tell me you clipped it

[@halfasoap1172]

I'm getting really, REALLY tired of 90% of the tanks on the field being heavy tanks that do nothing but sit back and rack up 40 killstreaks and go MVP just because they point and click at the enemy.

[@Extreme420now]

hahahahhahahahaha yumadbro? its a tank not a gocart LOLOL

[@arnaud9047]

MrVegas stfu who the fuck are you

[@whothennow24]

40 kills in a singe life is a significant benefit for your team, though. Why would you get tired of the other team getting so thoroughly annihilated?

[@Extreme420now]

"stfu who the fuck are you" I'm one of the guys who fucks you up in a tank. Oh i love the butt hurt!!

[@halfasoap1172]

smh these scrubs defending tanks because it's their only safe place

[@megamaniac1018]

Tanks need to have 3rd person view for the side gunners... Dice pls..

[@juri5624]

MegaManiac 101 no.

[@mawarrow1241]

MegaManiac 101 that will make those spots kinda op

[@megamaniac1018]

Oliver Queen well atleast the landship side cannons. cause that tank sucks currently..

[@antonioskrapic688]

MegaManiac 101 they had 3rd person in beta

[@Xeptar]

MegaManiac 101 I kinda feel more towards not having any third person. You don't have that luxury when on foot so people inside a giant metal box having more visibility and a lot more damage and power doesn't seem right.

[@borbo23]

Tanks shouldn't even have a third-person view. It's a huge advantage and nullifies the greatest weakness of tanks, namely that they have poor close-range vision, along with providing unintended exploits like the "tank headglitch". I'd be so for just removing that as an option for all vehicles.

[@juri5624]

borbo23 yeah it would add immersion as well

[@jacqueskrause5979]

Then go play Hardcore Mode

[@borbo23]

I'd rather core be balanced.

[@blakemurray7730]

Headglitch was fixed. Next please.

[@fatherofdragons5477]

Then 5 Supports comes with Limpet Charges.

[@spethmanjones2997]

I don't think the tanks should be able to fire accurately from 3rd person. Like in BF4, the third person aiming reticle was awful on purpose. This would reduce the power of tanks a bit in this game, because it's OP to have a huge field of view and the ability to fire accurately from 3rd person.

[@jawafreak230]

Agreed

[@SashaMasonVR]

Or, remove 3rd person alltogether. I don't get why AAA games that used to be first person mainly use more and more third person elements. Like, the planes in BF1 can be used purly in third person without any disadvantages.

[@spethmanjones2997]

***** Yeah! I'm right there with you! I just don't think a majority of players would agree unfortunately.

[@SashaMasonVR]

+Spethman Jones Well, I mean in Titanfall 2, players do actually wonder why the whole "Getting into a titan" animation now is all in third person instead of first person like the original was. I think the original one nailed it much better because of the perspective. Now it feels so "Disconnected". Or what about Battlefront that is so heavily build around third person that the U-Wing, both walkers, all heroes and combat rolling don't support first person? I mean, you could always play Hardcore which forces first person, but it changes to many other things that it isn't worth changing the mode just for that unless you absolutly like the higher weapon damage, friendly fire ect.

[@natefranco3393]

Lol, I love how you give your teammate a fair shot at securing the kill at 10:00.

[@ryanlowe5391]

if only there was a point to playing after level 20. #bring back bf4 progression

[@guytheguy2642]

I'm level 60 and I am not lvl 10 with all classes. If progression is the only thing that keeps you playing then you just should stop playing the game. Even if you have everything unlocked you should always enjoy matches, that's what makes a game good, and I can definately see myself do that in bf1!

[@adibbehroozitv6447]

Guytheguy This guy gets it 👌🏼👏🏻👌🏼

[@xSergisX]

how bout enjoying the gameplay

[@ryanlowe5391]

Guytheguy I still play the game from time to time but I can't play it for longer sessions like bf4 because I don't get any battlepacks

[@hiruma4142]

+Ryan Lowe Battlepacks on BF1 are like power levels. BATTLEPACKS ON BF1 ARE BULLSHIT!

[@DeltaWolf1000]

Heavy tank definitely needs a nerf, it's far to powerful and requires little skill to actually use. The quick-repair/emergency repair shouldn't be given to the heavy tank at all. It's ridiculous they even have have it to begin with. Light tanks are okay as they are I think. Landship needs a buff of some sort, hardly ever see them, and they seem very easy to take down. Even when using the landship as a squad with communication the thing is terrible

[@J-Dizzle95]

DeltaWolf1000 lol I agree The second I first jumped into a heavy tank and saw it had quick repair I was genuinely confused I wasn't sure if it was like a glitch or something XD

[@DeltaWolf1000]

Jared Lucus Heavy tanks having quick-repair is just over-powered and downright stupid. The best vehicle in game having something which makes it even more powerful is stupid. The Heavy Tank definitely needs a nerf of some sort

[@juttzz618]

No Name the fact all vehicles except the heavy tank can be taken out by one clever assault player says it all, the heavy tank can take all of your equipment and still kill you, and ride on. In the fairest way possible, 2 anti tank grenades and 4 rocket gun shots should take a tank out! Furthermore, what's which richochet shots? I hit the side and get 2 damage..

[@Xeptar]

DeltaWolf1000 Guess the Bess lived up to its reputation as not being reliable… sadly

[@Fmsrttm]

I feel like most of the people who call it to be nerfed heavily are people who just don't know how to take out tanks at all.

[@PerciusLive]

then again, the quality of players on PC means that there's an actual front established for you to push with whereas on console it's just a huge clusterfuck

[@amag140696]

The Howitzer Light Tank is actually really good if you can keep moving and outflank the enemies. It has both a machine gun that lasts really long before overheating, and a super powerful cannon that deals a ton of damage. If the enemy tanks are already taking damage I can usually get them in one or two shots from a distance and because of the drop from the cannon rounds, you can arc the shots over cover that they can hit you from. Plus it's got smoke and instant repair!

[@manavbhalla2861]

DICE has to nerf the heavy tank. They should really reduce it's health and let everything stay the same. Right now heavy tanks are all I see. Rarely any light or medium tanks. The light tank goes down in say 3 shots. The Landship can't take more than 4. Heavy shouldn't take more than 5 but right it can take as much as 7 considering not all shots do max damage and so many richochet. It's AT shot is also way more powerful than other tanks' AT shot. And it's very difficult to flank too because of machine guns on all sides. Also yes tanks need to be scary. People should be able to go on killstreaks with then. But only THOSE who are even moderately skilled at it, cos right now I see noobs going 30-0 with a heavy tank and they're not even PTFOing.

[@spartanB0292]

Since I have not gotten to the vehicles of Battlefield 1 yet, I can't say anything about that stats of these weapons, but I can attest to the fact that the Heavy tank is all I see these days. Sometimes you see a landship and once in a blue moon a light tank, but generally everyone just uses the heavy tank. I personally would like to see more landships, because those are pure teamwork and are much more interesting to take on as an infantry player.

[@noman1122]

HeavyHanded agreed, only time I get frustrated is when I'm the only assault player trying to destroy it, 2 assault players with the help of a support can take it out in no time

[@declanolivetti4319]

manav bhalla that's stupid why do you think it's called a heavy tank? Here's my solution 1. The heavy tank should have a speed meter when it starts moving it starts off slow then it moves faster each few seconds kinda like the speed of the A soldier moving while prone or like the armored train behemoth 2. The heavy tank should have a cannon round just a single round just like the land ship 3. The heavy tank should have a armor bar just like the health bar when the armor bar goes to zero it means you have no protection to High explosives so Anti-tank gadgets should do even more damage like 30-40 this armor bar can only be repair outside the vehicle instead of inside 1. It would be OP if you can repair the armor inside 2. It doesn't make sense how you're repairing the amor inside the vehicle I have also had a problem with the side guns 1. It should have the infinite symbol it show how many bullets you have like for the side guns LMGs it should be 50/-- instead of the infinite symbol this is so you know how many bullets you have and you have to reload instead of waiting after the gun has overheated this should be for all the LMGs, AA guns And the Behemoth guns

[@MickyMuffMuncher]

HeavyHanded the light tank is actually slower than the heavy tank

[@vacgyverfin5170]

Actually its allso the fastest tank..

[@IrontMesdent]

I feel like the 3 main tanks should be rock/paper/scissors. The Landship should be the DPS dealer, capable of taking out heavy tanks easily because of it's twin cannons. The Heavy tank is the "Tank" capable of taking multiple hits but cannot do crazy damage. The light tank should be fast and agile, capable of climbing hills and getting flanks on lanships but get absolutely destroyed by heavy tanks because of their low damage and armor. So my adjustments would be: More damage to Landships cannons and a speed buff to the light tank with a slight reduction in armor. Maybe remove a bit to the quick repair to the heavy tank to make a bit easier to take out in combat if the tank doesn't backout.

[@MrTWICETHEPRESHA]

Doing well with a tank is really down to one thing: be conservative. Never go into the middle of anything. Stay on the edges of the engagements. Rep whenever you have the chance. Always check the floor for mines. Do all of that and you'll be that guy in operations who goes 52-0 every time

[@rylancory]

I would be happy if they just removed the quick repair from the Heavy Tanks.

[@lukemcdonald9161]

Rylan Dettling definitely man it's absolute aids

[@lukemcdonald9161]

Pablo Horteg yeah I mean tank drivers get insanely high k/d's with barely any skill required its bullshit..

[@rylancory]

I just feel like its pointless to try and solo a tank when you throw 3 Anti Tank Grenades and hit it with a few AT Rockets and it just drives off like it was nothing.

[@rylancory]

Pablo Horteg Then what do you suggest? Not everyone that plays Battlefield plays with a communicating squad.

[@rylancory]

Pablo Horteg I'm not saying you should kill them easily by yourself. It's still a tank we are talking about here. But three anti tank grenades plus four anti tank rockets should be able to kill the tank if you hit them all. The auto repair pretty much makes it extremely difficult at times. On game modes like Operations where you can have 2-3 tanks pushing up at one time it would be nice if the damage you have done to the tank actually meant something. Take out the auto repair and I feel like it would be more balanced overall.

[@danielcuckler2743]

and people say these things are fair and balanced......... i call bullshit, this is a video game not a real damn war!

[@seancccccccc]

Not only tanks but planes going 80+ kills in a match. Planes and tanks are OP as the means to take them out are few compared to past Battlefield games.

[@andone01red]

Daniel Cuckler both teams have access, so it's pretty fair

[@s.w5937]

I think the fact that the heavy tank is pretty much the only vehicle I ever see tells you everything you need to know about its balance

[@ThePizzaGoblin]

I've been a religious landship driver since the game released, until I discovered the heavy tank yesterday. I am converted

[@Krongfah]

Light Tank = Speed Landship = Fire Power Heavy Tank = Armour

[@dedigiklasmhdkapteynweg6574]

Krongfah Mahankalarp heavy tank is the fastest in the game lol

[@Krongfah]

Dedigiklasmhd kapteynweg Not when turning.

[@concord3230]

Or so how it's supposed to be....

[@SashaMasonVR]

Artillery truck = Speed The light tank actually seems a bit slower than the heavy tank lmao.

[@mirosamahali]

Light Tank - Solo and maneuverability. Landship - Squad tank and needs to be buffed compared to the heavy tank. Heavy Tank - Everybody's goto tank.

[@jrapcdaikari]

I think there should be more incentive to use the Landship. I don't see people using it, and when they do, the rest of the team calls them useless. You think they should've made the tank type unlockable with the tanker class rank? like default everyone gets the Landship, Tanker class 3 they get the Arty Trucks, Rank 7 they get the FT-17 and Rank 10 they get the A7V? I feel like I see too many A7Vs in the game

[@Leftie181]

the landship is useless for a few reasons. 1: its nearly impossible for shells to ricochet off, so its really easy to aim at/hit. 2: it can't wall hack with its powerful guns, since they are gunners seats and are stuck in 1st person (granted, this isn't a bad thing. The bad thing is that the other tanks CAN wall hack) 3: it trades about 20% health for those 2 guns, meaning it only has 75-80% of the durability a heavy tank does. 4: you can only cover 180 degrees even with a full tank, unless you have the squad support variant, and 5 people inside, and even then the driver has to stop the tank and switch seats to cover the rear 5: its slow enough that infantry can run up and throw dynamite on it even if you are driving away full speed. 6: its fucking huge which makes it hard to get in tight hiding spots, and super easy to hit. 7: the main guns can barely see in front of the tank, so you can only really use 1 at a time. All things considered, its still a really fun tank, and I personally prefer the squad support landship over any other tank if I'm playing with friends, but due to the basically broken balance of tanks, it just really isn't the tactical choice when you're much better off exploiting the heavy tank.

[@jrapcdaikari]

Which is why I proposed the unlocking of tanks via tanker class level. So that people will start off with the Landship, then as time goes on, they'll either get used to it or progress to the better tanks. This MIGHT mean that DICE might need to reset the tanker class level just to implement this, but if it get the Landship more uses, I'm okay with it.

[@deriznohappehquite]

Having to unlock the tanks wouldn't solve the balance issue. It would merely create a situation where high level players have a huge advantage over low level players. Just nerf the heavy tank's self-healing.

[@TiberiumMineral]

Landships are fine for the most part, In slugfests with 2 sponsons they will win vs a heavy very reliably. AT landships win vs other tanks so hard its almost unfair, And has emergency repairs on top of it. It's a teamwork weapon, And when teamwork is used it's an amazing weapon.

[@muchiosgracias4]

How do I get the tanker class?

[@tedmotv9943]

Thanks level cap ... For all the work in your videos. Fun to watch and to test in battlefield.

[@Alejo9021]

I hate when im going to spawn on a tank and it just loads,,then it says that there are 0 tanks available,after that i see that someone else took it...just fuck it

[@hamana9842]

Tank campers are cancer.

[@thenman23]

what is tank camping? how do you camp a tank

[@snvcchs]

No Name tank camping is sitting in your spawn point where the defending team can't get to you but you can shoot at them. Usually on a slope where it's almost impossible to hit you more than once.

[@codforlife]

You obviously have no idea what a camper is. Its battlefield not COD you dummy. This game has vehicles ffs.

[@therebel1375]

Booch 4 Snooch I would think it would be smart to sit back in vehicles not driving balls to the wall into the middle of the fight. only do that when there are plenty of friendlies and then that is a big IF.

[@jeneralgod]

Haman A you cannot camp with vehicles, the idea of a tank is to stay position and to take out infrantry

[@jzofop]

Great video thx! Funny how that third person view mechanic works the opposite way in the light tank which is what I mainly use. I'm gonna start using the HVT more often cause up till now, I've only really jumped in them as a side gunner.

[@randomname4080]

That 3rd person shooting explains so much. I've lost track of how many times I was shot 'through' hard cover......now I know....

[@lovebeinganowl2109]

I always use the Landship, only the others when I'm desperate

[@orlando9666]

Link Master21 same, I even have the black Bess skin, just got it today!

[@lovebeinganowl2109]

TechTalk I got it too, what platform do you play on?

[@noman1122]

TechTalk what's the requirement for it? is it killing all enemies without blowing up your cover?

[@KG-bg9qb]

+NS Blaze no you have to get every codex and field manual in the campaign

[@vladimirye547]

man, tank hunter wrecks other tanks! that's my favorite tank in this game. also the black bess skin looks badass

[@jeneralgod]

I should start maxing out the tanks and planes, they're only rank 2 XD, barely use vehicles cause everyone takes it

[@cumsucker616]

After the patch i can safely say that the Heavy Tank is still OP. The landship buff is well deserved but the light tank is way too weak. They don't need to buff it to its godly beta days but the light tank should either recieve a 5th AT shell or at most increase the emergency repair , or maybe let the light tank repair faster than others since its much smaller

[@woppy36]

Great video, thanks for the helpful information!

[@MrJonathanrockz]

How to beast with a tank .... just get in one and kill. Imo the heavy tank should lose its healing spell . Landship does not stand a chance. Oh yea dont be that guy with 100 service stars or everytime you play you wait for a tank and just that.

[@Leftie181]

those people are cancer. Like yeah A+ for helping your team but people play to have fun. let someone else have a go with a tank, and give the enemy team a fuckin break for gods sake.

[@blackops1228ps3]

MrJonathanrockz Exactly. I was playing operations the other night, and some asshole was sitting in his spawn with a tank with a 100 service stars on it. He went 75-0.

[@SashaMasonVR]

+blackops1228ps3 I hate that they implemented the service stars in the killscreen again. Now you can feel twice the humiliation when you die to someone who plays a bit too much.

[@speakshh.1302]

HEALING SPELL XD what kind of clash royal skyrim junk have you been playing XD

[@SashaMasonVR]

+SGTM That's what it is though. You magically repair like 20% of your damage instantly without any delay.

[@francmeister420]

Levelcrap begging for more nerfs of things that bother him

[@AleutianSailor]

Daniel f if you've used or played against the heavy tank you know it needs a nerf. It's the only one that's used. It's ridiculously over powered.

[@francmeister420]

Jacob Carey it's a fucking tank. No one uses land mines, they kill it instantly.

[@Budderedupbro]

Daniel f emm no, I don't know where you are getting that idea from, when he talks about that stuff he talks about for the reason that it's benefiting for everyone so please think before commenting

[@TheBerg366]

"there is a counter its not op". yeah and there is a counter for the sentry class as well. now lets assume u could spawn in with the sentry. would it still not be op? i mean u can bayonet charge it right? -.-

[@Mr.Cheeseburger24]

Not sure why the fuck everyone has a hard time killing a tank. A weel coordinated attack with a friend will rape any tank.

[@Galyxr]

hey level the light howitzer tank has quick repair too. You can also dominate hard with it and take out a heavy tank in 3 shots, landslip in 3 shots, and other light tanks in 2 shots. You should try it, it's a glass cannon but it's really fun.

[@glockaholick7043]

Love your vids great advice can't wait to go home and be a pro tanker like you!

[@jakobmann1497]

Remember when in bf4 a good heli pilot would just take out a tank in 10 seconds?

[@jonathanlee5314]

That's the bomber in BF1... You can kill a heavy from full health if all your bombs hit.

[@jakobmann1497]

Jonathan Lee Hm but that is really hard to do and takes some luck. And compared to heli in bf4 that were quite resistance to damage in bf1 you can take the bombers down so easily.

[@jonathanlee5314]

The bomber IS quite vulnerable, you just have to keep practicing, luck isn't everything. I will kill 4-6 heavies in a game when playing well. Ideally you have some good gunners, and you want to do evasive maneuvers when you come under fire - too many bomber pilots just try to out-fly AA and get shot down. If you sneak around on a wide flank, there's a decent chance a tank won't notice you; then you can bomb them from on high, no need to get low.

[@jonathanlee5314]

I don't even feel bad when I'm bombing, you are much closer to PTFO-ing than say, that guy in the artillery truck at the back of the map. It's especially cool on operations when you break up an attack on one of the objectives and save it for your team. Or when you have people in the comments requesting air support on tanks - epic moments.

[@jakobmann1497]

Jonathan Lee If everything you do the whole game as a bomber is killing heavy tanks and are good at it you are a blessing for your team. The thing is that the bomber takes skill and good gunners to be effective where as in bf4 a decent heli pilot alone could do the same.

[@LegendaryErebus]

The heavy is way overpowered out of all 3 tanks, you barely see any others. all you see is the heavy because there is no reason to use the other two.

[@xxxnoscopexxxxxx7892]

No the light tank with this fat gun ist the best u can kill players in mass in one push and u can destroy the heavy tank with 3 shots

[@ayylmaotv]

Is there any tips to level up the tanker class? It's so fukkin difficult compared to normal classes

[@wagutoxD]

took some time to hit the bell of my favorite youtubers those days, so... YOU HAVE BEEN "BELLED"! KEEP IT UP!

[@olivertoronyi2462]

Ohhh...I just love the heavy tanks....bombing from above. When I see it from the bomber, Im hoping that it will be full (6 soldiers). getting 6 kills from a bombing run is pretty nice. Tanks are not OP, you can destroy them in 1 run.

[@noman1122]

Oliver Toronyi all tanks other than Heavy are so easy to blow up

[@Byronh1204]

Oliver Toronyi yup they are nice juicy targets for bombers

[@DeltaWolf1000]

not all maps have bombers. And bombers need to worry about AA, Attack Planes and fighters...

[@olivertoronyi2462]

DeltaWolf1000 Bombers are flying fortresses. Bomber has enough damage to fly against an AA and bomb it. It can take you out only if you miss the bombs. Other planes are also easy to kill with tail gun. You can hop to tail gun an deal with other aircrafts, just dont forget to pull the nose of the bomber.

[@DeltaWolf1000]

Oliver Toronyi I tend to disagree about the tail gun thing. I've learnt how to avoid the tail gunners on bombers, or at least am figuring it out. I don't fly the bomber, but as infantry torn them to shreds with AA (Which I feel are a little to good right now).

[@theRTT]

Heavy tank, more like, heavy stank! hahhaha no..

[@dragonstormer115]

theRTT badum tsss

[@heckmek]

You forgot to mention that the breakthrough variant comes with AP shells, that have almost no splash but increased damage against vehicles + the passenger guns on it can damage armored targets as well.

[@NovemberSky3]

Another tip I find good is that the canister shell is good at damaging planes that fly by, and is more accurate at hitting them than the normal tank shell

[@MountR]

Why do you hate tanks so my much? Destroying tanks is super easy ! You can use all the smoke and shit you want. I "playing with friends" can destroy your tank is seconds. Stop complaining about tanks. Tanks are fine. The Shotgun tho.

[@juri5624]

Carlos Tapanes no theyre not

[@speakshh.1302]

Carlos Tapanes the only prob with this comment is that not everyone has "friends" to play with or some people can't afford mics to interact with fellow teammates so yeah there bad when teamed up on but on a 1v1 of course a tank should win but if you unleash 3 at rockets and 2 AT grenades AND a light anti tank Grenade only for him/her to be left with 10 health left then quickly repair him/herself and kill you is ridiculous

[@MountR]

SGTM i understand because sometimes i play solo but tanks are fine maybe reduce the smoke a little bit so you can see the tank better. I don't think i solo assault player should be able to destroy a tank. Tanks should be fearful and powerful.

Okay

I play with the light tank all the time, but I might switch it up a bit. Definitely some useful tips, I think.

[@focusinsanity4555]

thanks, it was really helpful to learn what I am supposed to do when tanking because I suck at it

[@TheBrickBaron]

The tank hunter landship is the best. If the enemy team gets a behemoth I always try to get a landship. It gets you so many points if you hide near the back of the map or behind cover and wreck the behemoth (especially the airship because you can shoot off those gunner positions super easily).

[@bigoli2001]

good tips as always

[@typicalgamer5560]

Useful video thanks

[@drewhughes2220]

this video was fantastic i have been wanting to do better with the tank and this video helped me up my game considerably went 41/0 in my last game thanks for the tips

[@Platypusb1ll]

The reason why the shell actually originates from the camera in 3rd person is probably to prevent situations where you think you can hit someone but you actually hit an obstacle because it's below your line of sight. But honestly, this would seem a fair tradeoff for having better all around visibility. It could also be done like in World of Tanks (which i think Levelcap has mentioned) where the reticle sticks to that obstacle instead of always being at the centre of the screen.

[@hgoemans6935]

I watched this, then after that I went on a 31 to zero killstreak and was MVP on conquest.

[@mikekill94]

I found that Light tank with this set up i use is the most op i drop least 50 kills with & it's really good at taking out fighters & the blimp.

[@XblitzfireX]

Level cap please do a guide on how to counter each tank correctly, I'm mean yeah sure everyone knows the assault kit is the way to go but I was thinking more on weak spots and ricochet spots and how to approach them etc...

[@x213ERx]

I love this game. It's been a while since I got back into gaming. Last good one was black ops 1. Can't wait for the new maps!

[@TBAG]

in third person mode I always notice that my crosshair is off. meaning my shots are very inaccurate

[@purpleturtle6195]

I personally love the light tank. It's got great 360 aim and with the second variant thing can shred other tanks and people. Moves much faster and you don't have to worry about team mates not looking after your flanks to much due to it being one maned 360 aim

[@iiTzMattimus]

I have over 1700 kills via the heavy tank. I mainly drive it solo. Every once in a while I'll have a squad mate in there basically to help keeping it repaired. I love this tank.

[@spitfire6006]

You're welcome level so I was that support reping you on ST Quintin Scar yesterday

[@jasonvaldez2795]

the landship tank hunter kit is good for taking out the heavy tanks,you just need a gunner on either side and in 2 hits from your small cannon and one from your gunner,the heavy dies

[@SN1P3RPWN925]

Surprised you didn't mention the ability for anyone to spawn on the heavy tank like the AMTRAC from BF3 and 4. Definitely one of the major strengths of the heavy tank

[@GiingerSnapz]

One of the best tips I ever heard for tank play, is to play in your tank as you would play an infantry. Stay with team mates, don't go lone wolfing, retreat and heal when low. Just cause you are a tank doesn't mean you should be going on suicide missions and wasting your teams armour.

[@Pawello4004]

light howitzer tank is also good if we like to chillin just alone, it has 30 hp instant repair too and powerful cannon that takes 35 damage to heavy tank

[@BastuGubbar]

a small question that have nothing regarding this video: if you would have rounds that fire faster than the speed of light, would that mean that you could drive a tank over a hill and fire at someone and hit before they can see you?

[@anonymus8876]

Everyone always seems to forget about the field guns, they do massive damage to tanks and yet I rarely see anyone using them.

[@f3Snk117]

There is a very important pount you missed levelcap, the gun is not firing the same ammunition on every loadout. The heavy breakthrough tank is firing Armor Piercing, almost no splash vs infantry but higher speed and better damage on vehicles. The two other are firing High Explosives, less damage on vehicles but good splash on infantry Using the canister on the heavy breakthough tank is almost mandatory since your shell will have a hard time killing infantry except direct hits.

[@23aopk62]

The mortar landship is amazing

[@alexperruci9524]

If the heavy tank did not have the instant repair ability it would be more balanced. 30 hp can recover a heavy tank from a direct field gun hit, whereas 30 hp is barely 1 well-placed antitank grenade for a light tank.

[@harrisonmckenzie8357]

0:07 All I Want by The Offspring starts playing in the background.

[@StJamesProductionsMI]

Could you do a similar video(s) for the light tank and landship? If you already have, disregard and I will check them out, but just figured I'd ask because your tips and tricks videos are generally pretty good for nubs like me.

[@looooooooot432]

Heavy Breakthrough master race!

[@noryokuu]

Nice video keep it up

[@to_42O]

I think that level cap is too overpowered for the heavy tank actually lmao

[@bleachclorox3975]

nice vid enjoyed it

[@grainos5]

I'm watching this in school hiding the phone under my desk XD

[@ryanprellwitz8565]

does smoke change the incoming damage model? I believe in BF4 it made it so any incoming attacks did the minimum damage that a long angle shot would do no matter the actual angle of attack.

[@prich0382]

I find the Flanker Light Tank to be OP as it has a non cooldown quick reload which can kill anything, kills tanks slowly, but it can easily kill infantry, planes and the Train Behemoth, I remember i had 6 mines layed out on the track, the instant it ran over my first 3 I put 3 more down, so in quick succession I took out like over 1/3 it it's health, then just kept putting more and more mines down and shooting it with the explosive shots, killed the train in like 5 minutes. Also can easily take out the Blimp as well in 5 Minutes constantly breaking the gondolas killing anyone in them and the engines, so disgustingly satisfying. It can also do a "head glitch" where in 3rd person if behind a sand dune,small hill or a rock, you can shoot enemies but they can't shoot you because for some reason the shots don't come out of the barrel in 3rd person but instead above the turret

[@prich0382]

***** I found it not as versatile and too situational, and the machine gun never seems to go where you aim unless you are in 1st person

[@alexwest6469]

that mad jump at the beginning 7/11- IGN

[@moistalienemu2282]

I've found that the best way to win a tank battle is being able to shoot first. Being able to see the other tank and shoot first can often be the deciding factor

[@derekbastinck811]

I feel like the Heavy Tank is good for the solo players, but if you have 2 friends with mics, the Landship is a better alternative. You can weave back and forth so that both main cannons can be used against the one cannon of the Heavy Tank. Then depending on the variant, the tank hunter will outgun a Heavy Tank, or the Support Landship gives you two machine gun slots on the side as well as a driver accessible gun to the rear. And it can drop med/ammo crates, and has an emergency track repair to get yourself unstuck. But you need good teammates for this to work. Otherwise, go Heavy/Light Tank

[@TimmehysCat]

Does anyone know if the primary shell weapon for the driver is less powerful on the breakthrough tank as opposed to the basic assault variant?

[@Gavin-hh4dn]

I got to level 10 assult on ps4 but now i cant get up to 11.My friend also has the same issue?Is this a glitch or can you not go past 10

[@usfdave10]

I would get tank glitched and couldn't figure out it out. The shell was appearing above them over a building, but when I return fire no hit markers. Rather annoying to say the least.

[@yashizuko]

As a support i find the best place to repair the tank, directly on top of it, standing prone while repairing and spamming w to not fall while the tank is moving. And to help the team dropping ammo and also using smoke nades when needed to cover up the tank retreat, in amiens i 90% of the time win, juse because of this.

[@ilovekeeshonds]

Dude LC all you had to say was for one team have two heavy tanks run side by side! When two of those tanks mob around together, there is not stopping them

[@matsklausen9398]

Guys, a full landship costumized with the armorpiercing shots wich the driver have acces to is probabley the most powerfull tank. Double machine guns, double canons and a powerfull armor piercing gun with splashdamage given to the driver.

[@jaraldoe]

favorite thing to do in the heavy tank is to sidescrape against a building and bait other tanks into shooting at me. They waste all of there shells and I can get repaired, and seeing them panic as I chase them with full HP an ammo is glorious.

[@soybombiambomb]

Can anyone tell me if they've noticed a difference in moving the aim of your tank between BF1 and BF4 on console, specifically PS4? In BF1 it feels like there's some kind of weird aim assist trying to happen in vehicles and it winds up just making it more difficult for me to make fine adjustments to my aim.

[@myfatassdick]

The tank head glitch still works I took out a heavy tank with a light tank across ballroom blitz before he even saw me

[@PUM_Productions]

I play tank support w/ a wrench but whenever I try to help, most of the time they drive away leaving me in the open with my wrench in my hand and I get blown away. Tanks, GIVE YOUR SUPPORT COVER!!!!!!

[@belevezero2279]

I didn't realize how stupidly OP tanks were, thanks LC. WTF was Dice thinking with that camera gun mechanic?

[@JustAnotherLee]

When I'm in the heavy tank I pretty much go 60-80/0 almost every time. it's incredible powerful as long as you play it smart.

[@froqqer103]

Stupid question, but on console is there a quick repair? If so, what is it? Thanks!

[@anotherhoppou6128]

The reason the tank seems to shoot from your camera in 3rd person is because there is a small cannon on top of the odd slab placement on top the tank.

[@Shishomuru]

I like the default Artillery Truck more, has the same quick repair and can drop mines which can be used at choke points for vehicles as well as for baiting tanks off in the distance if they want to engage you. I usually go 40-60 with anywhere from 0 to 2 deaths every game in an Artillery Truck, they're fast moving forward and the only thing that hits harder is the Howitzer Light Tank which you can still 2 hit kill from the front making them a non-issue as its incredibly difficult to line shots up with that tank at anything other than close range. Artillery Trucks machine gun is also very useful and for its lack of initial accuracy the thing can be fired damn near indefinitely without over heating and the speed of your shells makes it very easy to hit low flying planes, and I'll often nail 2-3 bombers out of the sky most games.

[@jonathanlee5314]

You are the possibly the most annoying person in the game.

[@Shishomuru]

Jonathan Lee Maybe to fight against, I'm using the vehicle to its strengths and taking out EVERYTHING. What's so annoying about that?

[@nigelb9724]

MrFuddyDuddy Absolutely agree man but the AA and mortar version definitely have their uses but overall the default version is my go to loadout, it kills everything with ease plus the mobility and easy sniping capability.

[@rileyferguson8317]

Love heavy tank I dominate when I use thanks for the pointers

[@peterg7718]

8:58 Would be great if Level would create a video talking about game sense :)

[@KristianLindbjerg]

I honestly think 3x dynamite or 3x mine should be enough to destroy a 100% health heavy tank. I also think a nice idea would be for the limpet charge to disable repairing function. You really have to go out of your way to deploy that thing (if the tank driver plays safe) that it's usually not worth it.
