Battlefield 1 Tank Guide - Light Tank, Heavy Tank & Landship

[@acenine8149]

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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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 :)

[@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

[@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]

[@linusorm]

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

[@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!!!

[@LordHotDogg]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@Tyson.Top-T]

[@olivertoronyi2462]

booooring -.-

[@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.

[@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.

[@j_ski18]

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

[@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)

[@CoppaYt]

[@greatmeme]

What an incredible observation!

[@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.

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.

[@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

[@TheSanco26]

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

[@SeanOfTheDead1000]

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

[@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.

[@Freezera86]

[@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.

[@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.

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

[@muhammadnausherwan9582]

I am new to Gaming and one of the reasons I prefer bf1 over cod is because whenever my team gets outnumbered at a flag and a tanks comes up I get the feels lol

[@cristianelizondo8575]

Nice... It seems like operating tanks in this game takes more skill than in previous battlefield games

[@godridden95]

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

[@keanankinman1508]

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

[@Digital2pulse]

thank you Mark for 100 years of tank engineering!

[@maiatun]

oh my god!! the part at 9:08 is so cool!!

[@noeherrera8248]

The most O.P game breaking setup for a tank is when in hardcore: HE shells for other tanks and helicopters Canister shells (tank sniping scrubs) F.L.I.R sights (O.P as hell) and Reactive Armor which is fucking awesome in tank battles

[@HBSanta]

Assuming that suppression still delays the activation of a med bag, you won't get healed if you're being shot while standing on a med bag and repairing your tank.

[@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

[@ILoveLampBT]

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

[@zie1145]

9:10 if it was world war 2 this would be the sniper in the tower from saving private ryan

[@specialagentgeralt9763]

I can see a whole squad of like 3 or 4 light tanks all working together XD That would be a great tactic.

[@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!

[@megaslayercho]

Finnaly,a vehicle combat with no lock on weapons what so ever *I AM SO EXCITED*

[@Jay-im8jg]

I still think the British MK IV tadpole would be a great addition to BF1s arsenal due to it being able to carry a mortar on the back but it's a bit slower and bulkier but it would still be cool to have.

[@ballo3734]

Awesome video LevelCap! :)

[@DarkSamers]

Just a thought, they should add a comander seat as a kind of usefull passenger seat. The commander could be used like the recon drone in Cod MW3 where u mark targets and get assist points and the like. just makes sense ass most tanks irl had tank commanders and infact even the little tank (a model of renault i believe) had something like a 2 man crew.

[@abcdefghij7772]

Tank fighting looks fun. It would be cool if they left tracks which they currently don't, even in the rain

[@RegenGamezAion]

The Mark V looks so badass... it might be the best looking tank ever made (IMO).

[@stephenbalaban3891]

You should make an updated Tank Guide since the tanks are dramatically different now than they were upon release, not to mention (but I am going to do it anyways) we got a brand new tank, the Saint Chammond

[@bananaboy482]

Nice video man! Keep it up!

[@ACRBARF2]

Level, when you were explaining the light tank you said that the gas grenade will stop people from putting C4 on you, C4 wasn't around during WW1

[@GBM6988]

I'm very happy Dice decided to do a WW1 game

[@XXAVENGEDSFOLDXX]

as a British bloke, I'm happy to have Great Britain represented in a AAA game. very very excited for this one!

[@flurp1674]

YES! NOW EARLY BETA SOON YAAAY I hope PS4, PC and Xbox one users are all in the same severes

[@victorfabro107]

5:32 Hahaha what the hell you just ran over Stodeh, Rip in pepsi lad :D

[@brycelane3261]

So excited for this game

[@brycelane3261]

Getting bored of bo3 ::

[@eaglestomach9011]

AWESOME VIDEO LEVEL

[@David_Quinn_Photography]

2 questions 1. if you spawn in a tank thats already mand do you still get the machanic class? 2. is there a limit to how many tanks are on the battle field?

[@jacksonlarson6099]

I will remember this four months from now.

[@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.

[@wrickerishwrung1935]

So, from what we see from the PRE ALPHA is that there will not be asymmetric tank gameplay, bc everyone knows the mark 5 is British yet the Germans can use it and such. So I really hope that there will be different models of tanks that fill the roles of "light tank" "land ship" and the other one, because the told us that there were many different types of tanks, what I'm saying is for the role of light tanks you have the Italian one and make up some German type or ottoman tank so that it feels like the tanks are different not just because of their allocated names, like light tank etc

[@ButterySkater]

i feel like the last dlc you should have post war weapons and vehicles.

[@marcor3843]

Those who complain about all tanks being available for all sides, consider the following: This is the same franchise that once gave us Imperial Japanese forces landing on Midway, equipped with StG44's assault rifles and Hanomag Halftracks, Americans deploying M-10 Wolverines that could go toe-to-toe with a Tiger I (in the 1941 African Theatre, mind you) and an Allied invasion of Italy spearheaded by thin-skinned M3 Grants that were barely capable of holding their own against obsolete Italian light tanks. Historically innacurate? Hell Yes! Fun? Hell Yes!

[@dannycage8672]

3:55 Dont mind me, I'm just checkin' the house

[@dedigiklasmhdkapteynweg6574]

They need to add the 3rd person mechanic from heroes&generals when if you go in 3rd person in your tank your character will pop out of the hatch

[@KomradeSeals]

I can already envision a future battlefield friends episode where Neebs is driving the landship, getting salty about why he doesn't have explosive cannons while the rest of the squad try to get ammo off him..

[@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?

[@julianmorgan79]

it would be nice if they implimented the support and medic option from hardline that allows you to walk up to the player and just take ammo or healing with out them having to throw a bag out.

[@joshuajgrillot]

The breakthrough variant of the heavy tank is the best all around tank. Its main cannon is perfect for tank vs tank battles and the canister shot is devastating against infantry. The instant repair option is the best out of all the tanks, the 30 repair points is a lot considering the damage it can take. Plus the 2 side guns are heavy guns, not regular MG's. They can destroy buildings and has good splash damage. Overall I got 1800+ kills in the heavy tank alone.

[@joshuajgrillot]

...... and in one match I was able to go 69-3 with 116k points in the breakthrough tank.

[@mortem4342]

EgoBusta How the Hell did you get 116k points? That's actually enough to rank up the Tanker Class once and have only 4k more points needed to rank it up a second time!

[@laurihelenius9394]

Can't wait to play This game whit my friends :)

[@ethancollins5884]

a bit of a thing on airsoft, if u stopped playing and haven't gone since u made the last airs often video I just want to tell that if u really enjoyed airsofting then just go airsofting with no cameras and just enjoy ur self
