Tank it in Stride - ShackTac Arma 3

[@FirstDagger]

This in my opinion is your best video to date and I have been watching your vids for a long time. Always nice to see a competent tank crew especially a drive that is not asleep at the levels. The last stand at the end was just the icing on the cake.

[@dslyecxi]

Thanks! I thought the way it ended for us was pretty cool as well - I didn't anticipate that at all.

[@Mythricia1988]

Agreed, I decided on a whim to watch this particular upload, at 5AM, and man, it was real good. Real good!

[@piggeneral1275]

That quiet "God dammit" when you guys watch all those dudes march into those buildings is when I knew this was gonna be a goodie.

[@GenericAmerican1]

"Going to get help" 10/10 all years, I was dying of laughter in the driver's seat.

[@damoclesecoe7184]

You may not have been the hero we deserved, but you were the hero we needed!

[@MrDicks420]

the tragic events of the first 15 min makes this a true master piece

[@Unmedicated_Moments]

Its a game

[@MrDicks420]

no its a commander truly dedicated to the cause

[@verox6414]

sacrificing life and limb to ensure the success of the mission

[@DbM313]

It’s always nice to come back to the older videos from Dyslexci and watch him to various vehicle missions. I always love his TOW stuff but the old missions always seem much more brutal.

[@hellfire6237]

Gotta love the: "OH SHIT ITS STILL ACTIVE!"

[@Siege223Gaming]

Thanks for the movie, Dslyecxi! I thought it was all over for you guys after you were forced to dismount! My lord that was a wild ride from start to finish.

[@gharretje]

It's Bravo, I'll get on their net. *switches to Bravo net* "Here comes that Abrams" You know what, we get away. Nice one Dslyecxi.

[@kollegeknusprich8110]

Quite a few gems in there... "The marines have SMAWs with them, maybe they'll share" "I think the sharing's about to start" Either way, this has been an excellent watch.

[@damoclesecoe7184]

"I doubt comfort has anything to do with these vehicles. I don't think that's a Russian design spec, ever." "It's not malfunction with chair, it's malfunction with ass." XD

[@jonrd463]

"Toilet paper ad." "Apropriate..."

[@headrockbeats]

1:10:00 "All things considered, that was OK", said GDR. Little did he know. Good job, all three of you. It was a true pleasure to watch.

[@nvader6]

A video with combined arms and a front row seat to one Kevb0's glorious charges, you spoil us.

[@GeistIV]

Your timing is impeccable Dyslexci! All last night I was watching Shacktac tank videos, and was hoping to see some more and bam new tank video. Awesome from start to finish.

[@Kulfaangaren]

Yay a tank movie...finally! Been waiting for one of those for a long while. Thanks Dslyecxi.

[@c4blew]

There´s something about these large scale combined arms missions that really resonates with me.

[@ponder109]

Hour and a half of my time that was most CERTAINLY Worth it! Keep up the great work!

[@Kalashnikova42069]

I was half expecting you guys to continue fleeing north, or grabbing the assault craft after you repelled that landing.

[@ranchoth]

You'd just need to make sure you installed Admiralty Prize Court mod to make sure the boarding party got divvied their proper shares. (Arrr.)

[@RhodieZimbo]

Always find tank combat to be the most interesting because success really depends on the entire crew and cooperation between them. Combat in squads in similar but I find not as in-depth.

[@Lobos222]

Its only interesting if the sides are balanced and the crews of all tanks are somewhat competent. Otherwise it quickly becomes too gamey, in my view. If you want to see other tanks battles you can check out Rolling Thunder Arma videos.

[@silentghoust]

Think a lot of that stems on rather you get a nice little respawn at the end of your trip.

[@MitchWilliamson]

Truly one of your best videos. KevBO if ever promoted/lives long enough to promoted to General will, indeed, bring new meaning to "General Attack"..... Thanks Dslyecxi

[@alanlawz]

as i have come to expect another truly epic movie from that great actor and producer dslyecxi, thanks great vid really enjoyed watching

[@broworm1]

I can't tell you how glad I am combined arms is a thing now in your community! It sounds strange but I've been looking forward to this since the combined arms mission in Arma 2, where you had to land your AH-9 in a field of BMDs, T72s, and a whole bunch of infantry while Hogs and harriers strafe and bomb everything around you.

[@nallekalle1]

Was going to watch a movie for the evening, this is better.

[@Th3R00k131]

For a moment I thought Kevb0 was going to need some help, shortly after I realised this wasn't necessary

[@TheMayhem15]

Thanks Dslyecxi, that was awesome better than TV and most moives lol. Watched a fair few realism units, but your style much more view able.

[@Qarlo99]

Looks as if Samuel L. Kevb0 lacked a miracle this time. : ] The two minutes following about 10:42 probably contains some good YIR video dialong material.

[@headrockbeats]

It was one of the best ShackTac moments ever, at least for me.

[@AnotherDying]

Arma's door opening action pops up when you look at the door's hinge. It's weird; it's Arma. You're welcome.

[@cepllo956]

Just... Epic... Indeed one of your best videos

[@flyingturnip1]

Love a good tank movie! Great vid Dsl

[@demency2741]

Man, it's always creepy when you turn your head far enough around to see the empty neck socket.

[@tobieeck9676]

Awesome video man, very relaxing when writing something.

[@viceadmiralcongo]

"Great job everyone. Except Ghostboots."

[@mooncabbagere]

Man I feel bad for Justicar, he made it so far.

[@polodang]

Is their a gunner's pov?

[@schinsky6833]

"What´s your status 3-1?" - "Spectators". Is that a normal answer? I found that funny.

[@MrTotalAhole]

I like the tank vids. Wish you'd do more.

[@1100MC]

Holy shit that reverse was like an on rails game.

[@hvymtal8566]

Russian tank no need faster in reverse, Russian tank no retreat, komrade!

[@poetato4149]

only if it is a french tank then reverse is the fastest gear.

[@FirstDagger]

Fun fact, the Japanese Type 10 can drive up to 72 km/h in reverse

[@mdkefren]

And that's one of its many setbacks, together with outdated optics and poor engineering.

[@willialoka]

What do you mean you dissident? Soviet tanks are made of real Stalinium that fires shells guided by Stalins hands himself! Soviet tenk stronk tenk!

[@damoclesecoe7184]

Send zis capitalist pig to gulag!

[@MrSaturnpyo]

can anyone explain what the different scales and crap on the reticule are for?, I only recognize the stadiametric rangefinder

[@Tylerncm1022]

What movie are they talking about at 13:30? I can't make it out.

[@dslyecxi]

Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butch_Cassidy_and_the_Sundance_Kid

[@Tylerncm1022]

thanks :D

[@galaxyofequestria]

why is there destroy at 40:08 that you not using?

[@SomeNoobWithCE]

You know, I actually said to myself when I saw him walking into the bunker and said to myself "Yeah here's where Kevbo dies." I swear, hearing the entire team say - Oh hey look he's dead again! That's the best man, that's the best.

[@Buddyspike11]

WHEN THAT TANK CAME UP ON YOU!!! Lets just say R.I.P my underwear lol

[@galaxyofequestria]

is that tank work at 50:00 the statue maybe someone could use it for cannonfoder

[@FancyMcDancy]

What happened to Justicar? He just disappeared! At 1:24:58 or so.

[@jinxycat384]

A ringside seat! Classic Kevbo frontal assault. You really should have stitched his path with 12.7, it might have dissuaded him, might being the operative word!

[@jacksonallen4660]

*can hear the guys on the other side of the wall and could easily yell at them* *gotta deconflict, I'll get 'em on the radio* Hehehe, great video but that made me laugh - seriously though, one of your best!

[@FlinnGaidin]

Dslyecxi, I had no idea what the acronym for that launcher carried by Kevbo's unfortunate companion stood for, so I looked it up, and apparently you can't properly say 'MANPAD', as it stands for ' Man-portable air-defense systems', and even one is still a system, so you have to put the 's' on the end for 'MANPADS'. Thought you might be interested. Great video...was fully expecting you all to be slaughtered to the last man, as that seems to be happening in quite a few videos of late, lol...

[@Elmarby]

Out of curiosity, why would one not pick up an AK-74 when holding an AKSU? And that question regarding Kevb0's take on the Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid ending was glorious.

[@darman53]

My guess is because a tank crew man would have trained with the AKSU. It would be like a knight using a bow, they could probably use it, but are just better with a sword.

[@KettarianFox]

I can hear references to using HEAT rounds against soft targets throughout the beginning of the video. Don't those things have HE-Frag in their arsenal? Russian tanks usually do

[@aussiemilitant4486]

In previous missions they have taken out all HE rounds from tanks, so as to leave the infantry with a job to do, rather than having the tanks kill everything. Good for gameplay.

[@noobking111]

lol I've been watching arma videos and it's like none stop cussing, then I see this and it's like actual talk and very professional

[@dafrandle]

"we win, somehow"

[@theenhancer]

Lol at 18:25. You guys should have tried the Tinkerbell effect for Kevb0.

[@damoclesecoe7184]

WTH even _is_ the Tinkerbell effect XD Edit: I'll assume it's the "Dazzler" up in the top right but I have no idea what that is :P

[@blaatann]

This was a good one!

[@Nolucklynx]

very wild ride..enjoyed it totally...have a question...the AI seem so darn SMART!! has shacktac tweaked the scripts (or whatever) to make the AI so awesome?? or are you just using high AI settings???? im amazed at the tactics the AI took, like driving their tanks thru, flanking and all...impressive...and suriving this mission to 'win'..wow...nice

[@noxy_key]

Well done!

[@Kgoozmooz]

He fears no man, nor death, or even...his wife, hes....KEVBO!! *walks through explosions* #KEVBOCHARGE

[@TheFunnykid33]

"toilet paper ad" "appropriate"

Shit... I was like, ah 1 min 33 sec video... let's watch it. Watching it for 10-12 minutes... now I realised it's 1 hour 33 minutes.

[@FirstDagger]

You should still watch it the video fully, one of THE best videos Dsylexi has put up to date.

Not saying I'm stopping it. :) Maybe I'll continue tomorrow. First 10-20 minutes are good so far.

[@kerguule]

y no use of smoke screen

[@mileskeller2003]

Awesome mission.

[@TarrakaSprichwort]

Would love to see GhostBoots' POV on the HMG. Awesome mission. It had everything, except for maybe Scottish gibberish.

[@HarrySahneClips]

Hey Dslyecxi, do you play against AI or against other players?

[@aly9292]

Link to this mod pls ?

[@hitchy98]

Which mod are those concrete bunkers from?

[@tedhou1993]

Not a mod. It's Tanoa bunkers.

[@hitchy98]

TedHo Cheers mate

[@WayoftheBeard]

That was like watching a war movie!

[@Pook54]

Get an hour or so into video - oh hey there's Harrier on his wall!

[@Gperalta]

I feel like as soon as i clicked on your profile this got uploaded xD

[@Gperalta]

I know what im going to be doing for the next hour and a half

[@ShizukuSeiji]

The video became much more interesting at 1:02:43

[@Blaster1O]

Popcorn time!

[@Havantus]

8:09 I lost it XD

[@snowyshowy2233]

ah... classic kevbo...

[@damoclesecoe7184]

Kevb0, in and of himself, is a classic.

[@RyanTurner1331]

I love crew videos :V

[@TimChuma]

I liked the part about KevB0

[@OneEyePI]

That was great

[@galaxyofequestria]

that gas station at 1:16:26 shot the gas tank the emery tank are next to them burn them life!

[@T2Gibbon]

i feel like the guns on those tanks are way too vulnerable to AT shots from the front. Unless AI is master at sniping tank barrels...

[@SgtDude16]

7:25 'Russian tank' and 'comfortable' don't really fit in the same sentence :P 'Safe' as well. Example: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3fUeIajjJ2jeJom11s

[@tomphillips7858]

Why doesnt KevBo Ever seem to make any effort to get any better at this... lmfao

[@PacTheOne]

*tank... you..* plays cheesy 80s intro

[@samuel-xz8ry]
