How To Be OP - Heavy Tank Guide | Battlefield 1

[@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.

[@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

[@Spectrum184]

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

[@furiislurudurke9371]

True

[@linkd9553]

Ivan Buncic ur just bad

[@VeteranR]

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.

[@VeteranR]

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.

[@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.

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@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..

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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?

[@to_42O]

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

[@natefranco3393]

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

[@ThePizzaGoblin]

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

[@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!

[@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

[@theRTT]

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

[@dragonstormer115]

theRTT badum tsss

[@themadc0w198]

I like using the horse. My black one is named MAD-MAX, brown is GoodBurger, and the pale horse is Horsey McHorseFace

[@jeneralgod]

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

[@sufferingstilton1644]

One upon a time, a level 100 guy got his hands on a heavy tank, then he rekt our team with it keeping the thing alive on both maps for the entire game ._.

[@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.

[@wagutoxD]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@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).

[@sem4151]

the heavy breakthrough tank has also AT cannons. the normal tanks have HE.(stand at the bottum)

[@rainbowgg___]

Delete this

[@Budderedupbro]

RainbowGotGud nope

[@fatherofdragons5477]

Okay

[@Dill_Pickle1997]

I prefer the Mark V tank, but I have to admit that this tank seems to be the most effective in battle

[@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

[@ayylmaotv]

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

[@hgoemans6935]

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

[@TBAG]

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

[@farrasjunadil6925]

WTF!!! later i got killed by a light tank and he got a 100 service star!!!!

[@grainos5]

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

[@Leftie181]

how to be OP in a heavy tank: step 1: spawn in a heavy tank thats it. Thats all it takes...they have quick repair, so basically they have 130% health. one rocket gun critical hit (headshot colored hitmarker) does 16% damage. yep, that means 9 rocket gun hits, or 6 AT grenades, or 22-24 K bullets. Oh, and did I mention its the fastest tank as well? Also its the easiest tank to ricochet shells off. Now I like level cap and all, but you don't have to play smart in this at all. I mean, it certainly helps if you do, but I suck horribly at playing in tanks and I've had games 30-0, 50-1 etc. with this absolute unbalanced, broken, beast.

[@dillonc7955]

Why does levelcap even do a guide with the most OP vehicle in the game? Even a level 1 newbie can get a good KD with the damn thing.

[@adamgrevebregenhof5328]

But still, its very hard to level up the tank class, so if the score from kills was reduced, then the number of score to level up should be reduced too

[@skellyzero]

I dont understand u man... i watch both u and Jack, u are both very good players. So why don't u play HC mode? I mean, regular servers are a joke compared to HC, even more if u want to stay true to the time period. No minimap, no regular map, ho heal over time, no sights, no 3rd person, no friendly player names (know uniform), friendly fire on... ect. U know what's on hc, i would love to see some game play with you on HC. Its just a different game then...

[@HBSanta]

A "Heavy Tank Guide" and you don't even talk about the strengths of the other tank variants? It seems important to mention that the Breakthrough heavy tank's main shell is more effective against armor but with less splash damage for infantry, like the AP shell in BF4. Breakthrough tank also has incredibly powerful side cannons which can do damage to armor and wreck infantry. The flamer tank is still my favorite though, I love having the gas grenade for when people start getting too close. IMO there is nothing more terrifying than a flamer tank coming towards me and my teammates. It is almost certain death.

[@Lee-wj4ly]

im surprised he didnt say anything about the anti tank mines. I feel as if the mines are way to powerful. if someone puts 3 mines right on top of each of other it will destroy your tank from 100% health. there were even times i used quick repair in that split second i had before each mine and still killed me. i think the mines should definitely disable the tank so it cant move until repaired and maybe drop health to 30% but for it to completely destroyed it? thats just my opinion im just wondering if that is broken or designed that way.

[@teddybeddy123]

I think they nerfed the light tank too much- it does less damage, it gets taken out VERY easily as it has little health, the howitzer's turret doesn't rotate, it's actually slower than the heavy tank!? I like the light tank because it was the first modern tank but there is almost no reason to play as it instead of the heavy tank. It really needs to be buffed, even if it's just one of the above such as making it faster than the heavy tank or allowing the howitzer turret to rotate, it doesn't really make sense that the much bigger tank is faster. I don't think the heavy tank should be nerfed again, they just need to give people a reason to play as the light tank or landship

[@whatisbestinlife8112]

How can they possibly justify letting your shot come from several feet above your actual position? That's inherently, brokenly OP.

[@zwarriorgaming2677]

I actually hope they nerf the heavy tank a little cause it sucks because I will find myself capturing and objective, there is a noob in a heavy tank and I do everything I can to take it out but its pointless cause he will just repair by time others will help or supply me.

[@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.

[@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.

[@QuiteTheBrianD]

BF1 is fun, but it isn't doing it for me that much. It does seem more dumbed down in terms of skill gap, and feels more casual as a result. Would prefer something like BF3

[@robertli3600]

Who needs a heavy tank guide. When I get into a heavy tank, I call in my squad and I rekt 80-0. If you are playing a heavy tanks u r invulnerable if u r careful and not rushing everything

[@ΠασχαληςΜπανδας-θ5υ]

9:35. Nice horse

[@vicmanvalfre96]

I love tanks, but I would also like to play as tanker without having to spawn in a tank. My favourite gun is in the tanker class and I have now resorted to abandoning planes and tanks to use it. It just doesn't feel right

[@clubback]

I do not feel like the heavy tank is OP. The landship with the tank hunter package can destroy the heavy tank easily from a long distance and up close.

[@scaravian4622]

I just really hate seeing the same metal rectangle strolling through the field. I'd love to see some variety.

[@MrZhaw]

Scaravian in other words, OP af metal box, fuck that thing bro

[@scaravian4622]

Pretty muchhhh :C

[@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

[@OrionBlarg]

Tank head glitch..... WTF? How does this sort of stupid thing even end up in a game like this?

[@Shadow21Sixty1]

Light Tank Howitzer would shit on this Heavy Tank user. Howitzer shits on all vehicles and actually does pretty against infantry too especially the machine gun

[@galamonkey]

Being a passenger in a tank and dying to a random gas grenade is annoying. I can't put a gas mask on while inside the tank, and don't have enough time to get out and put one on.

[@JamesDM4]

galamonkey yes you can. you'll notice you can't zoom after pressing the mask boton meaning your gas mask is on

[@SashaMasonVR]

Dying while in a tank by explosive shells while the tank stays intact - THAT'S annoying.

[@squadenhamr4479]

Your footage is triggering me. Stop firing halfway through a reload! And always reload!

[@fuzzme271]

I once spent an entire game in a tank, in sinai desert, and got 35 kills 0 death, best KD so far

[@haroldhashim8019]

Howitzer light tank fav

[@deisumus1]

I'd be happy if they removed third person view from vehicles and increased the fov.

[@letmeouttamycage]

This tanks is very overpowered as it is.

[@pjpitbull]

I mean it's a tank. It's supposed to be over powered. :)

[@crazyzombiebos7778]

Kids play cod Teens play battlefield and CS: GO Adults play halo and arma Men join the military see where I'm going?

[@jackedwards7322]

Crazy Zombie no

[@IrontMesdent]

How to be even more OP: Increase your FOV to get your crosshair even higher.

[@echarles559]

this is one thing putting me off about the game.. tanks are everywhere, I can never spawn in one because my teammates camp the whole match, and I feel it's to difficult to take them out. At least in BF4 multiple classes had C4 too take them out. Even Assault doesn't feel like it's good enough at times.

[@gilgordon5090]

echarles559 yeah tanks are everywhere. you finally kill one from 3 assaults throwing shit at it, and than another one comes in 30 seconds.

[@Leftie181]

the problem is, the heavy tank, and that one auto explosive cannon light tank are the only OP tanks. A simple nerf to their splash radius and anti-infantry pellet range would be all they need to balance them (maybe remove quick repair from the heavy tank, as it can already absorb 6 rockets no problem), but the solution people want is "more AT devices" which basically just makes the two light tank variants and every landship completely obsolete since they aren't OP as fuck. Personally I think that the light tank should have quick repair on every variant, rather than just the howitzer, and the heavy tank should only get track repair, which enables movement if disabled, and heals about 15-18% health. Much more balanced than it healing 30-35%

[@echarles559]

Pablo Horteg you just had to be that guy to mention Call of duty hahah I use teamwork but I'm saying In general tanks seem extra OP previous battlefields you could defend yourself with out worrying if your teammates decide to help you or not.

[@Leftie181]

your ego is more OP than the tanks. DICE PLEASE NERF

[@Juff-]

A tank isn't too hard to take out people, a single support and an assault stand a decent chance. Assault with AT grenades and dynamite. Support keeps the assault supplied while assault lobs AT grenades over cover at the tank while the support keeps the assault covered while he takes it out. Not to mention the support can have a go with a limpet charge. They're not a huge deal with a little teamwork and common sense.

[@ArdyDynamics]

I love the heavy tank, my best score is 70-0 and 35k points on St. Quentin + 50% for the win.

[@WalvisYT]

Breaktrough setup is best... It's main shell does a CRAP load of damage against armoured vehicles.

[@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!!!!!!

[@jakobwithak3805]

Pick a heavy tank and unleash the true power of the dark side.

[@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).

[@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.

[@lukabegic5872]

On PS4, which button do I need to press for instant repair?

[@DESTRUCTIONKATCHUP]

I'm one of the best tank drivers on BF1. I'm almost at 1000 kills in less than 2 weeks and only a hand full of deaths. planes fear me too lol. I'm saying this without pride but with hope that someone will want to play with me. I'm alone on PS4. gamer tag RAM13570

[@Infinityhorus01]

A good tanker in BF4 could dominate a server, in BF1 tanks are like 10 times more powerful than they used to be in BF4. Now that more and more people got them figured out they go on insane killstreaks every round. Ive been at this point so many times where a Heavy Tank just stays back, getting a lot of kills and when he gets hit he just pops some smoke and insta repairs. This is insanely frustrating to a point i dont even wanna play gamemodes that include tanks anymore. I liked the balance of tanks in BF4, get rid of the 3rd person bug and insta repair and make it so you can fire the at rocket gun without a bipod that would help a lot i think

[@ris3bublezz658]

some guy in my game had 100 service stars in a heavy tank

[@universalgamer2963]

I think they should make it so that you can only use quick repair on the heavy tank when you are below 50% health so that you are forced to retreat and manually repair. Also they should make 3 sticks of dynamite fully destroy a tank many times I've thrown all my dynamite expecting the tank to die and it still has like 20% health left that's broken should apply to all tanks. also increase at rocket gun damage against it. I think this will help balance the tank out so it can't dominate all the time

[@FortunePayback]

Do I think some tweaks should be made for tanks? Yeah, kinda. They're only really overpowered to an extent. Other than that, I think they're pretty frickin' balanced.

[@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

[@chrissious]

As there is just damage caused from outside Dice, get rid of the BS self repair from inside. I think then the most problems will be solved. Let the support players repair tanks as they should do.

[@SashaMasonVR]

The flamethrower is so damn OP, and I don't mean it in the "Its just really good and I die all the time" way, but the range seems to be twice as long as the visible flames. So basically, the flames are much too far away to even touch me and it sets me on fire nonetheless

[@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.

[@mutinyrider666]

Also tank tip noone seems to do ..reload ...always ...lile constantly lol the second i fire im tapping reload as you can always fire while its doing it. So often i see folks crusing aroundwith one round left and then are caught with their pants down .

[@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.

[@globalchaos1984]

Repairers need more xp to reward their selfless service.

[@K.mersch]

It would be better if you used examples when talking about about different weapons, third person view, etc.

[@Savileaurus]

Tanks aren't meant to be easy to take out. Like yeah, it's fucking annoying when there's a tank on the other team that's dominating, but it's more annoying that your own team is just fucking useless.

[@LucasStoten1]

Damn I never use the Heavy Assault package because the other positions are weak, but as a solo player I rarely even get teammates in the tank with me. I should use it for the smoke a lot more.

[@alexwest6469]

that mad jump at the beginning 7/11- IGN

[@Laudrengen]

The tanks in this game are fundamentally flawed.
