The play at 1:35ish was great. I'm the same, I gotta charge in there. Surviving in a tank in 2042 is difficult, unless you have squad/team mates helping you out. So many explosives coming from everywhere. Very much enjoy ur videos. Our play styles are similar.
Thanks a lot for the support - yeah I just go head first at it and maybe it’ll work out, maybe it won’t. At the very least I can do enough damage to the other guy someone else will finish them off. It’s definitely hard staying alive without a wingman, sadly not too many people help me out!
Thanks for the support! Yeah I mean it’s brilliant to line up & predict the shot, hitting them with the perfect vector. And also they can’t complain and about noob at you either, because it’s one of the harder things to do and their fault they got blasted 😂
Thanks man - appreciate the support. I was really surprised but this video didn’t go down well at all with people. In fact, it’s got one or the highest unsub & dislike rates of any of my vids! Wonder what I did wrong 😅
Best BF tanking channel on RUclips. Keep the videos comin. There is a shortage of BF2042 tank gameplay, good ones that is. So keep rockin it steady and see you on the BF.
Thanks so much for the support! Hope you saw the Railgun TOR vid, the other side of the fight 😂 I’ll keep them coming as fast as I can - I’m keen to never repeat the same video twice, it’s fine to revisit a topic but it’s got to have something new to share & talk about. See you on the BF o7
Thanks! They’re definitely running faster now, helps a bit but so far it’s not enough to change your fate if you took a turn down the wrong ally with 10 RPGs aimed at you. The RAM is still better I think, providing you have a crew. Hit APS and get out of there.
@@timelessgamer_UK yeah the RAM really does feel like the best option still with the missile launcher. Add in the team wide spawn beacon and it's just crazy. Feel like it should go to the bolte to make it fit in with the other armored transports better.
Can’t argue with that. The only problem through would be that category is overloaded, with MAV, CAV , Bolte and RAM. In my perfect world I’d make it a stand alone like the Wildcat.
Thanks so much as ever! I make them as fast as I can 😂 Hope you’re enjoying season 6. I’ve got a few more videos in mind but I’m really interested in an upcoming game called The Finals… have you seen it?
Great video as always! Those movie edits are what made me subscribe in the first place (love your sense of humour). As someone who mained tanks in BFV (I once went 73-0 in a staghound on Rotterdam), I hate the tank experience in 2042. Can't wait to see if these new changes make it fun again. As for our bet, I T1'd AT mines on 18th spetember. How goes your journey? I will let you know when I upload the footage to my channel. If you don't want to wait, i can somehow show you the raw footage of getting T1. Hope you enjoyed your break. Sorry I haven't commented on some of your recent videos. Keep up the good work.
Great to hear from you! So let’s do the bet first, after having to take a much longer than anticipated break I only T1’ed on the 29th September - you are hereby officially declared the victor! What were the terms again?? 😅 No worries about not commenting it’s fine - honestly the channel’s not doing too well since Redux, interest really dropped. Not trying to be the next Jack Frags but it’s a shame to see it go down so fast. I’m hoping season 6 will pick things up a bit, this video is a bit of a test in that regard. Let’s see if people come back for the free to play weekend kick off. Great to hear from you, glad you’re still enjoying my attempts at humour. I’ve got two more videos in me which actually speak to my real experience / enjoyment of the game (regardless of how many people watch or don’t I’ll make them anyway). Last one will be AT Mines Batman finale with the Pondhawk… wanna help me?? I need a brave pilot 😅 After that let’s see where we are. I don’t want to make videos for the sake of it so come the time if I have run out of things to say, so be it. Let’s find out!
@@timelessgamer_UK Thankyou very much! I have played Lis almost non-stop trying to get AT mine kills. I died... A lot with those more aggressive plays. Haha. The terms, I believe, were that the victor shall be allowed to execute the loser with said AT mines in portal. The only problem I see (and more on this later) is that I am restricted currently to playing a PS4 Pro. I assume you are on PC. Unless you have a PS5 or PS4 Pro I can't see anyway to fulfill the deal. Honestly I'm really sad to hear that things have dropped off to such a degree that you have actually noticed. I myself upload clips (same as you, not trying to be JF but I upload to essentially keep a diary of my BF moments), but I put in very little effort (no commentaary etc) so a dip in views wouldn't matter to me. But you do such good content, I honestly just want the best for whatever you choose to do. BF content or not. It would be an absolute honour to help you make a Pondhawk video. As someone who loves doing crazy shit with the LATV4 and Superhind (btw loved your video on the Superhind, you said stuff I've been screaming on deaf ears for 2 years now) I've been looking forward to doing stupid things with the Pondhawk. As I mentioned before, I think the only problem will be on which platform we play 2042. I really hope you have a PS5 or something... If possible, I'm up for anything. Just let me know. If I could afford it, I'd buy a PC just to team up with you man. Haha. I wish you all the best, for you and your channel.
Really kind words man, appreciate it a lot. I’m still a BF’er, it’s just I’m not going to make a video if I’ve got nothing to say… even when I’m being silly, I always try to have a ‘point’ even if that point is just to encourage others to have a go. About the Hind, I know right?? I’ve been quietly raging and decided to do a video about it after watching some guy use it as a throw away Uber to get to a flag. Such pain… Ok so sadly I’m on PC and don’t have a PS5 so for now that’s a bit of a bugger. On the AT mines if you can describe the manner of execution maybe I can get my friend to do it 😂 In terms of what comes next I actually had a plan as there’s a few games which are catching my eye. Have you seen The Finals? Also interested in Space Marine II. Let’s see! In March we’ve then got Delta Force relaunch, worth a look I reckon and finally that brings us to 2024 and maybe a new BF who knows. Of course I’ll be watching to see what 2024 does too.
@@timelessgamer_UK I have noticed that definitely; that you never just have a video for videos sake. Honestly you strike a good balance between fun and educational. I didn't think I had that much to learn after 2 years of 2042 but you have proven me wrong. The "taxi problem" with vehicles has always been a problem but seeing it with something as important the Super Hind, is on an entirely different level of frustrating. Ok so the fun bit; the execution! Be honest if you think of something cooler than this, but I thought: go to Redacted, go to the biodome, you lay down 3 AT mines, your friend lays down his 3 AT mines, making a big pile. Then you sit on the pile, he blows the AT mines with another explosive and see if you get yeeted high enough that you hit the ceiling. Haha. I originally thought of you getting yeeted in a vehicle with the AT mines. But with this new map, I found myself wondering if one could get yeeted into the ceiling. BF content or not, I'll always watch your content. I have been watching the development of The Finals but I'll need to buy a PS5 to play that when it releases. Trust me, when I do buy one you'll be the first to know so we can crossplay. If there even is crossplay. I hope you can find some game you can keep making videos on, even if that isn't BF. Although, you should see how it goes over the next little while - have you seen the crazy influx of players over this free weekend? Surely some percentage will stick around imo.
Underrated brother! hilarious! I love some good tank gameplay, and I feel you on those common feelings, like shooting the little birds at that last second, and the chase! I don't play tank 100% of the time, but when I do play, it's good fun! Also as a mckay enjoyer, I can feel the satisfaction on the c5 leech haha!
Thanks a lot really glad you found it entertaining - according to the stats this was one of my least successful videos for retention, I thought it was quite good myself! 😅 Tanks are brilliant and deliver amazing moments. No problem with Mackay players, part of the ecosystem of the game & just need to be dealt with 😈
Hey, I replied to your comment on the convo we were having down below. I noticed I couldn't see it on my other accounts, and wondered if you could see it at all.

Hey I hadn’t seen this, thanks for reposting! On the bet, your wish is my command I’ll try to set it up at the first convenience! In terms of the influx of players yeah I have seen it, and it was great to see the servers alive again. Really do hope people stay as it’s great to see all the new faces. Let’s see how the channel goes - in addition to generally being in a bit of a downturn, I’m also running out of things to say which “add value”. I don’t want to be a channel which posts the same thing over and over, so let’s see. Grab yourself a PS5, I’ve been playing with some Aussies and the connection has been great! Really pleasantly surprised. Let’s see if the Finals is good and maybe we can meet over there if not sooner.
Thanks! I don’t have them on because it feels a little too Arcady for me if you know what I mean? I think BF is a really immersive game and having the numbers flash up kind of gets in the way of that for me? Hope that makes sense! I only like seeing my high numbers when I’m playing an (MMO)RPG 😅
Nice video as always man! How are you enjoying the MBT changes in season 6? Personally, I am loving them! I've been actually dodging attacks because with the increased acceleration you are able to move back and forth pretty effectively!
Thanks as always - yeah it’s nice to have a little bit of pace. It’s no RAM but yeah, a good improvement. Love the tanks, even if they’re not the most sensible pick in slot 😂
Cool gameplay. Would be amazing to see some RAM gameplay. It's my favourite in the game. Missle and hmg, 40mm grenade, and flak pod. It's outstanding. Hit and run aggressive gameplay, used to be able to run rings around tanks.
The RAM is insane, especially when it’s fully crewed up. I must say that since the 6.0 patch updates the faster MBT turret is noticeable, but getting the RAM main turret rockets & supporting shots into you - if you missed the APS - is lethal. I think it still goes in the MBT’s favour if it lands the first hit though. I’m actually useless in the RAM I need to learn it, but I’ve seen what it can do & been amazed at what some ppl I know can pull off in jt
@timelessgamer4359 Well I am little biased to the RAM, I've put 140+ mastery into it. Season 2, when it was the only vehicle with aps it was straight broken. If you ever wanted some pointers to start you off, I'd be happy to help.
@timelessgamer4359 I've not been able to find one. If you want someone with good gameplay, I recommend simplexspartan, but just gameplay no commentary. But he has a good grasp on the way to play the vehicle.
You found a good counter to attack choppers? I’ve got about 4k kills in the bag with both tanks, but i still almost always die to attack choppers And yeah, I get a lot of kills stolen by teammate’s intervention with shoulder launched missiles
I don't have a lot. Irish's APS will nullify all missiles so whilst it won't kill the Attack Chopper, it can't kill you either. Having APS on your tank will give you the necessary seconds to get one up. You can wait it out. If the Heli is coming in low and you've an RPG / M5 -- you have a shot but hardly any guarantee you'll land a hit. Lis needs two shots unless you hit the pilot so that's no good either. HMG won't get it to go away. If it strikes from afar, there's no counter. Bottom line -- we're screwed unless the pilot makes a huge mistake & we get a sprinkling of luck. Wish I had more for you...@@paulinapeak
I did, but it was a serious one as people were a bit upset about the TOR at the time: ruclips.net/video/PKqUQ5yuH3c/видео.htmlsi=gS36LM-podkB9vNb Hope you enjoy it
@@timelessgamer_UK oh yeah, I forgot about this video. It is slightly outdated due to the maul vs heli nerf and actually having to pick different stuff for load outs like the canister shots.
True - and I’ve not looked hugely into it but the additional weapons don’t seem to shift the dynamic too much? The Maul is still exactly the same against ground armour. In any case I’ll make a bet with you - dice will roll back the changes made soon. Why do I say this? Well it’s just a gut instinct but two reasons: 1) in my games TORs have all but disappeared. Their pick rate is really low now & they’re already trying to change that with new weapons; and 2) Helicopters are becoming too powerful in the game again (see a vid I’m releasing tonight!). Love them or hate them, the TORs did an amazing job at keeping helicopters in check. I’ll take the bet now that TORs will have their nerfs softened soon.
On the part of the attack choppers I can give the console experience again :D It is definitely very strong, but interestingly it's not that dominant on console, but rather a balance between the 3 birds of prey. What's really annoying though, is the sound bug where you often don't hear the explosions of the 30mm and just lose health :( I play with PC players through crossplay sometimes bc of my cousin and I have to say it really is different from console, like wildly diverging behaviours.
Always appreciative of the console insight - how’s it different? On PC you really just point at what you want to die and it will be so (ground vehicles anyway). I know what you mean about the sound glitch I noticed that too, been caught out a few times myself. What’s the major difference?
@@timelessgamer_UK The major difference is aiming, like with a mouse you have your whole arm to correct for, while on controller it's just your thumb. That leads to plays that would be more rare/extraordinary to happen way more often on PC. Many issues with things being "broken" simply don't happen on console, bc they are too difficult to recreate often. Like Liz or the Rorsch Mk-4 are no problem on console, but sadly bc some people can hit ridiculous shots on PC it effects all platforms. Another example are the air transports/gunships, where I have seen PC players aiming in such a fast manner it was even uncomfortable to watch, while on console they are still strong, but nowhere near as godlike (the miniguns on console are mostly weak bc it is so difficult to hit anything/do enough damage while moving). And interestingly I have seen more people on PC camp at open/strange spots (not snipers), which indicates the bigger gap in players there. The sweatier players dominate so much that some are forced into such a playstyle, while this divide also obviously exists on console it is not nearly as much, bc aim-assist is more of a help for newer players and everyone has (almost) the same hardware/level playing field. I've played PC for about a decade and now am on console (with some experience through crossplay at the moment) so it's really interesting and also strange to see such extreme differences ^.^'
@@timelessgamer_UK I'm glad to share it ^.^ I honestly don't really notice a change since 6.0, but I also didn't have issues before. That said my aim assist is at 50%, while most people either leave it at 100% or swear on having better aim with 0%, I needed to tune it down bc you couldn't lead shots sometimes with the assist messing up your aim. On a side note what really showed me the difference in aim-assist on/off and why it is needed for a better experience, were some custom servers on BF4 where it was turned off and you became used to it, but it wasn't possible to get the same feeling/ability to play.
@timelessgamer4359 TBH I have not played it yet I have been so busy with work this week and what little time I had I been playing Forza Motorsport, but i will be playing meat grinder this weekend , I know my crew has been playing it
Great video! I watched your other videos and you explained the difference between the ammos. For tanks, which one do you use? I’m still trying to unlock the STAFF projectile. Watch do you recommend for gunner station 1 and station 2?
This one was just meant to be a little bit of fun, but to the serious side I use MPAT shells. All of my builds, any vehicle, are always geared towards taking out armour. The HEAT rounds are anti-infantry, so you’re at a disadvantage if you run into another tank / TOR etc. The STAFF shells are special, they are laser guided Tank shells so only work effectively if you have a dedicated spotting crew. If you do, they are lethal. I made a video with Marzipandan about these if you care to watch it. In terms of seats, I like the heavy machine gun and mortar pod. Best chance to defend against players trying to get C5 kills and the mortar can help in tank battles. Hope that helps!
In Asia we all using High explosive rounds, reason all you need to aim at pesky crawfords hiding behind cover, explosion radius will do the rest. MPAT is very good against vehicle vs vehicle but they are inconsistent against infantry. And with HE round, tow missile and 60mm mortar we can solve lot of problem at once.
That makes me the only fool in Asia who’s using MPAT, even if the damage vs vehicle bonus is only marginal I’ll always prioritise tank vs tank damage on the primary. The TOW is good, but is it worth the slot? I do love the Mortar, that’s a serious weapon despite being nerfed. The TOW, at least to my mind, has more impact before APS. Now the shot just gets buried in most instances, at meats my take.
@@timelessgamer_UK yea agree with you about TOW, but now in BF 2042 infantry is more threat than tank cause of that deep pocket rocket buff. If you can't deal with infantry quickly with a distance you are doomed before you get chance a 1vs1 tank fight. That's why majority goes to HE round. Suprisingly BF2042 players are all know what are they doing at least with rocket. My EA id Orvil_1911, see you in battlefield.
I know they add a lot of utility, but don’t you find it a little bit too arcade to have the numbers flashing up all the time? I quite like keeping BF a bit more immersive & having a little guess work as to when the vehicle is going to explode 😅 Never know if you’re going to get that kill shot or not!
@@timelessgamer_UK I understand your sentiment and appreciate it, but since you've been providing somewhat of a guide for me and I am sure many of your other viewers I think it would help us strategize better as to undertsand the damage each wepon inflicts. I think you provide an excellent example of such, but it would provides a more visual aid to your gameplay. Just my two cents, either way I love your content and will continue to watch!
Thanks for letting me know - it’s regrettably a bit late to incorporate it into the upcoming vids as the footage has been shot effectively, but I can drop into portal and register what a hit does at various points. I’ll give it a try! Just need to try and find a friend willing to take a few slaps for me 😂
People don't seem to play like this anymore nowadays, most CoD & BF players are just Mindlessly Infantry Gunrunning. I'm NOT saying everyone should be a vehicle whore, but it seems like 99.99% of my teammates Cannot Drive or Fly vehicles to save their lives, literally.
vehicles are what won my heart -- like Titanfall. Really encourage ppl to give them a try, it's a massive part of the game you're missing out on otherwise
i think 16:9 would help your channel grow as opposed to ultra wide. some bigger youtuber tried it and quickly abandoned it and i think for good reason. cheers
Thanks a lot for the feedback. Before I go further, may I ask - is the ultra wide format causing you any problems on your hardware? I’ve recently updated my settings to 3440 x 1440 to eliminate the black bars. It looks good on my phone / screen, but I never know other peoples experience. Is there a particular issue being caused or is it a matter of preference? I get a real mixed bag of feedback on the right format. Some people really love the widescreen. I think I’ll do a poll on the channel & ask. It’s too late to change the next vid but I might be able to change the one after if people aren’t feeling it. Thanks again for the feedback. Let me know if it’s causing you a specific issue.
i believe a lot of phones, especially android ones have aspect ratios close to ultra wide, but thats not as relevant as you would think. a lot of people watch the video in portrait mode or as picture-in-picture, which both would be 16:9 and therefore show black bars. also pretty much everyone on pc and laptops would watch in 16:9 and get black bars. also beware that polls might not be the best measure, as in theory it sounds good but a lot of people dont think it through or arent aware of the technicalitites. IIRC jackfrags also did a poll which came out in favor of ultrawide but still abandoned it shortly after. in any case i hope you find success, because i really enjoy your content. BTW i found you through marzipan dan. he recommended you in one of his videos. all the best @@timelessgamer_UK
+ i think your thumbnails could be improved in order to get more clicks! maybe less text and better legibility. and in the video title department theres also a lot of good content online to help. im saying all this because marzipan dan, in his recommendation, talked about how he doesnt understand why you dont get more views, and i agree when it comes to your content, but in order to grow on yt you really have to play the algorithm game. hope to see you grow, because you content deserves more views! cheers :)
I really appreciate the support - on the thumbs I’ve really tried to simplify them. I’ve had a lot of talks with Dan about channel metrics / what takes off & what doesn’t. It’s all a mystery. Really happy for him but why did three of his videos early on get +100k views? Why does YT arbitrarily shut down my vids which are doing REALLY well, by which I mean just stop showing impressions? It’s a mystery!! All I can do is my best & try to make it as snappy as possible. I’ve had one video do “well” and that paid off. I hang in there for the day I get a Dan level breakthrough & a video seen by +100,000 people. One day, it has to happen one day!!
i've just noticed you've only been doing this for a year. you should just continue and maybe post a bit more often, but honestly you're on track. as long as your content stays this good or even improves, things like thumbnails and so on are something you'll learn over time. i'm a parent myself so i understand the struggle, but honestly i think you have a good chance of making this your full time gig, so do everyone a favor and keep at it. social media growth is exponential/cumulative. the first 1k subs are more difficult than the first 10k@@timelessgamer_UK

Ok so sadly I’m on PC and don’t have a PS5 so for now that’s a bit of a bugger. On the AT mines if you can describe the manner of execution maybe I can get my friend to do it 😂
In terms of what comes next I actually had a plan as there’s a few games which are catching my eye. Have you seen The Finals? Also interested in Space Marine II. Let’s see! In March we’ve then got Delta Force relaunch, worth a look I reckon and finally that brings us to 2024 and maybe a new BF who knows. Of course I’ll be watching to see what 2024 does too.
Ah the staghound love that tank I always preferred the 38t though because it doesn't get beached as easily, my best with that was 92-2 on nordvik
@@timelessgamer_UK I have noticed that definitely; that you never just have a video for videos sake. Honestly you strike a good balance between fun and educational. I didn't think I had that much to learn after 2 years of 2042 but you have proven me wrong.
The "taxi problem" with vehicles has always been a problem but seeing it with something as important the Super Hind, is on an entirely different level of frustrating.
Ok so the fun bit; the execution! Be honest if you think of something cooler than this, but I thought: go to Redacted, go to the biodome, you lay down 3 AT mines, your friend lays down his 3 AT mines, making a big pile. Then you sit on the pile, he blows the AT mines with another explosive and see if you get yeeted high enough that you hit the ceiling. Haha. I originally thought of you getting yeeted in a vehicle with the AT mines. But with this new map, I found myself wondering if one could get yeeted into the ceiling.
BF content or not, I'll always watch your content. I have been watching the development of The Finals but I'll need to buy a PS5 to play that when it releases. Trust me, when I do buy one you'll be the first to know so we can crossplay. If there even is crossplay.
I hope you can find some game you can keep making videos on, even if that isn't BF. Although, you should see how it goes over the next little while - have you seen the crazy influx of players over this free weekend? Surely some percentage will stick around imo.
Underrated brother! hilarious! I love some good tank gameplay, and I feel you on those common feelings, like shooting the little birds at that last second, and the chase! I don't play tank 100% of the time, but when I do play, it's good fun! Also as a mckay enjoyer, I can feel the satisfaction on the c5 leech haha!
Thanks a lot really glad you found it entertaining - according to the stats this was one of my least successful videos for retention, I thought it was quite good myself! 😅
Tanks are brilliant and deliver amazing moments. No problem with Mackay players, part of the ecosystem of the game & just need to be dealt with 😈
Hey, I replied to your comment on the convo we were having down below. I noticed I couldn't see it on my other accounts, and wondered if you could see it at all. If not, here's my reply:

Hey I hadn’t seen this, thanks for reposting! On the bet, your wish is my command I’ll try to set it up at the first convenience!
In terms of the influx of players yeah I have seen it, and it was great to see the servers alive again. Really do hope people stay as it’s great to see all the new faces.
Let’s see how the channel goes - in addition to generally being in a bit of a downturn, I’m also running out of things to say which “add value”. I don’t want to be a channel which posts the same thing over and over, so let’s see. Grab yourself a PS5, I’ve been playing with some Aussies and the connection has been great! Really pleasantly surprised. Let’s see if the Finals is good and maybe we can meet over there if not sooner.
Love it! Glorious tank combat at its finest
Thanks as always!
Love your content!
Thanks a lot!! Really appreciate the support
The intro 🤌🤌… You make taking down those nightbirds looks so easy bro
You know as well as I do for every shot that hit there were 100 that missed 😅
@@timelessgamer_UK 😂😂😂
Keep up the great work! Quick question, why don’t you have damage numbers on? I find them really helpful especially in tank fights
Thanks! I don’t have them on because it feels a little too Arcady for me if you know what I mean? I think BF is a really immersive game and having the numbers flash up kind of gets in the way of that for me? Hope that makes sense!
I only like seeing my high numbers when I’m playing an (MMO)RPG 😅
Totally makes sense!
Nice video as always man!
How are you enjoying the MBT changes in season 6? Personally, I am loving them! I've been actually dodging attacks because with the increased acceleration you are able to move back and forth pretty effectively!
Thanks as always - yeah it’s nice to have a little bit of pace. It’s no RAM but yeah, a good improvement. Love the tanks, even if they’re not the most sensible pick in slot 😂
Cool gameplay. Would be amazing to see some RAM gameplay. It's my favourite in the game. Missle and hmg, 40mm grenade, and flak pod. It's outstanding. Hit and run aggressive gameplay, used to be able to run rings around tanks.
The RAM is insane, especially when it’s fully crewed up. I must say that since the 6.0 patch updates the faster MBT turret is noticeable, but getting the RAM main turret rockets & supporting shots into you - if you missed the APS - is lethal. I think it still goes in the MBT’s favour if it lands the first hit though. I’m actually useless in the RAM I need to learn it, but I’ve seen what it can do & been amazed at what some ppl I know can pull off in jt
@timelessgamer4359 Well I am little biased to the RAM, I've put 140+ mastery into it. Season 2, when it was the only vehicle with aps it was straight broken. If you ever wanted some pointers to start you off, I'd be happy to help.
I'll take that offer -- before we start, anyone you know who's done a good 101 I can have a look at?@@Credenak
@timelessgamer4359 I've not been able to find one. If you want someone with good gameplay, I recommend simplexspartan, but just gameplay no commentary. But he has a good grasp on the way to play the vehicle.
Nice video man enjoyed it.
Thanks a lot, glad it gave you a laugh. It was good to see you guys back together the other day, I enjoy any and all BF squad play. Hope to see more!
You found a good counter to attack choppers? I’ve got about 4k kills in the bag with both tanks, but i still almost always die to attack choppers
And yeah, I get a lot of kills stolen by teammate’s intervention with shoulder launched missiles
A counter inside an MBT or a counter more in general?
@@timelessgamer_UK Counter in an MBT. Only way I ever survive is if i’m under a bridge on renewal
I don't have a lot. Irish's APS will nullify all missiles so whilst it won't kill the Attack Chopper, it can't kill you either. Having APS on your tank will give you the necessary seconds to get one up. You can wait it out. If the Heli is coming in low and you've an RPG / M5 -- you have a shot but hardly any guarantee you'll land a hit. Lis needs two shots unless you hit the pilot so that's no good either. HMG won't get it to go away. If it strikes from afar, there's no counter.
Bottom line -- we're screwed unless the pilot makes a huge mistake & we get a sprinkling of luck. Wish I had more for you...@@paulinapeak
@@timelessgamer_UK Figured that. Thanks man
@@paulinapeak Best bet is TOW on your primary gunner seat.
Can you make a video on the TOR being an absolute beast of an armor hunter?
I did, but it was a serious one as people were a bit upset about the TOR at the time:
ruclips.net/video/PKqUQ5yuH3c/видео.htmlsi=gS36LM-podkB9vNb
Hope you enjoy it
@@timelessgamer_UK oh yeah, I forgot about this video. It is slightly outdated due to the maul vs heli nerf and actually having to pick different stuff for load outs like the canister shots.
True - and I’ve not looked hugely into it but the additional weapons don’t seem to shift the dynamic too much? The Maul is still exactly the same against ground armour.
In any case I’ll make a bet with you - dice will roll back the changes made soon. Why do I say this? Well it’s just a gut instinct but two reasons: 1) in my games TORs have all but disappeared. Their pick rate is really low now & they’re already trying to change that with new weapons; and 2) Helicopters are becoming too powerful in the game again (see a vid I’m releasing tonight!). Love them or hate them, the TORs did an amazing job at keeping helicopters in check. I’ll take the bet now that TORs will have their nerfs softened soon.
On the part of the attack choppers I can give the console experience again :D
It is definitely very strong, but interestingly it's not that dominant on console, but rather a balance between the 3 birds of prey.
What's really annoying though, is the sound bug where you often don't hear the explosions of the 30mm and just lose health :(
I play with PC players through crossplay sometimes bc of my cousin and I have to say it really is different from console, like wildly diverging behaviours.
Always appreciative of the console insight - how’s it different? On PC you really just point at what you want to die and it will be so (ground vehicles anyway). I know what you mean about the sound glitch I noticed that too, been caught out a few times myself.
What’s the major difference?
@@timelessgamer_UK The major difference is aiming, like with a mouse you have your whole arm to correct for, while on controller it's just your thumb.
That leads to plays that would be more rare/extraordinary to happen way more often on PC. Many issues with things being "broken" simply don't happen on console, bc they are too difficult to recreate often.
Like Liz or the Rorsch Mk-4 are no problem on console, but sadly bc some people can hit ridiculous shots on PC it effects all platforms.
Another example are the air transports/gunships, where I have seen PC players aiming in such a fast manner it was even uncomfortable to watch, while on console they are still strong, but nowhere near as godlike (the miniguns on console are mostly weak bc it is so difficult to hit anything/do enough damage while moving).
And interestingly I have seen more people on PC camp at open/strange spots (not snipers), which indicates the bigger gap in players there.
The sweatier players dominate so much that some are forced into such a playstyle, while this divide also obviously exists on console it is not nearly as much, bc aim-assist is more of a help for newer players and everyone has (almost) the same hardware/level playing field.
I've played PC for about a decade and now am on console (with some experience through crossplay at the moment) so it's really interesting and also strange to see such extreme differences ^.^'
Really insightful - thanks for that. I’ve heard at least on foot console players are having a better time since 6.0
@@timelessgamer_UK I'm glad to share it ^.^
I honestly don't really notice a change since 6.0, but I also didn't have issues before. That said my aim assist is at 50%, while most people either leave it at 100% or swear on having better aim with 0%, I needed to tune it down bc you couldn't lead shots sometimes with the assist messing up your aim.
On a side note what really showed me the difference in aim-assist on/off and why it is needed for a better experience, were some custom servers on BF4 where it was turned off and you became used to it, but it wasn't possible to get the same feeling/ability to play.
Another good video thanks for the post
Appreciated thanks - glad you enjoyed it. Hope you’re enjoying season 6 (aka the Meat Grinder)
@timelessgamer4359
TBH I have not played it yet I have been so busy with work this week and what little time I had I been playing Forza Motorsport, but i will be playing meat grinder this weekend , I know my crew has been playing it
Great video!
I watched your other videos and you explained the difference between the ammos.
For tanks, which one do you use?
I’m still trying to unlock the STAFF projectile.
Watch do you recommend for gunner station 1 and station 2?
This one was just meant to be a little bit of fun, but to the serious side I use MPAT shells. All of my builds, any vehicle, are always geared towards taking out armour. The HEAT rounds are anti-infantry, so you’re at a disadvantage if you run into another tank / TOR etc. The STAFF shells are special, they are laser guided Tank shells so only work effectively if you have a dedicated spotting crew. If you do, they are lethal. I made a video with Marzipandan about these if you care to watch it.
In terms of seats, I like the heavy machine gun and mortar pod. Best chance to defend against players trying to get C5 kills and the mortar can help in tank battles. Hope that helps!
You’re the first person I’ve seen call Mackay “Macky”
I think they call him Mackay like McKay
Thanks for the correction - I just always had him as Macky in my head…
@@timelessgamer_UK lmao I thought you were doing that on purpose 🤣
no seriously -- he's always been Macky in my head, even though I saw the spelling!@@damienmcdonald7610
In Asia we all using High explosive rounds, reason all you need to aim at pesky crawfords hiding behind cover, explosion radius will do the rest. MPAT is very good against vehicle vs vehicle but they are inconsistent against infantry. And with HE round, tow missile and 60mm mortar we can solve lot of problem at once.
That makes me the only fool in Asia who’s using MPAT, even if the damage vs vehicle bonus is only marginal I’ll always prioritise tank vs tank damage on the primary. The TOW is good, but is it worth the slot? I do love the Mortar, that’s a serious weapon despite being nerfed. The TOW, at least to my mind, has more impact before APS. Now the shot just gets buried in most instances, at meats my take.
@@timelessgamer_UK yea agree with you about TOW, but now in BF 2042 infantry is more threat than tank cause of that deep pocket rocket buff. If you can't deal with infantry quickly with a distance you are doomed before you get chance a 1vs1 tank fight. That's why majority goes to HE round. Suprisingly BF2042 players are all know what are they doing at least with rocket. My EA id Orvil_1911, see you in battlefield.
@@orvilelric6653 Added you, look forward to it -- and fair point about Deep Pockets / extra missile on top of that.
The fury clip was perfect…
Thanks, glad to know I’m not the only one who thought so!
@@timelessgamer_UK you most definitely ain’t, probably the best WW2 tank film ever.
you should turn damage indicators on!
I know they add a lot of utility, but don’t you find it a little bit too arcade to have the numbers flashing up all the time? I quite like keeping BF a bit more immersive & having a little guess work as to when the vehicle is going to explode 😅
Never know if you’re going to get that kill shot or not!
@@timelessgamer_UK I understand your sentiment and appreciate it, but since you've been providing somewhat of a guide for me and I am sure many of your other viewers I think it would help us strategize better as to undertsand the damage each wepon inflicts. I think you provide an excellent example of such, but it would provides a more visual aid to your gameplay. Just my two cents, either way I love your content and will continue to watch!
Thanks for letting me know - it’s regrettably a bit late to incorporate it into the upcoming vids as the footage has been shot effectively, but I can drop into portal and register what a hit does at various points. I’ll give it a try! Just need to try and find a friend willing to take a few slaps for me 😂
@@timelessgamer_UK It's an in-game setting as well. You can set it to show up on your crosshair or bottom of your screen
People don't seem to play like this anymore nowadays, most CoD & BF players are just Mindlessly Infantry Gunrunning.
I'm NOT saying everyone should be a vehicle whore, but it seems like 99.99% of my teammates Cannot Drive or Fly vehicles to save their lives, literally.
vehicles are what won my heart -- like Titanfall. Really encourage ppl to give them a try, it's a massive part of the game you're missing out on otherwise
i think 16:9 would help your channel grow as opposed to ultra wide. some bigger youtuber tried it and quickly abandoned it and i think for good reason. cheers
Thanks a lot for the feedback. Before I go further, may I ask - is the ultra wide format causing you any problems on your hardware? I’ve recently updated my settings to 3440 x 1440 to eliminate the black bars. It looks good on my phone / screen, but I never know other peoples experience. Is there a particular issue being caused or is it a matter of preference?
I get a real mixed bag of feedback on the right format. Some people really love the widescreen. I think I’ll do a poll on the channel & ask. It’s too late to change the next vid but I might be able to change the one after if people aren’t feeling it.
Thanks again for the feedback. Let me know if it’s causing you a specific issue.
i believe a lot of phones, especially android ones have aspect ratios close to ultra wide, but thats not as relevant as you would think. a lot of people watch the video in portrait mode or as picture-in-picture, which both would be 16:9 and therefore show black bars. also pretty much everyone on pc and laptops would watch in 16:9 and get black bars.
also beware that polls might not be the best measure, as in theory it sounds good but a lot of people dont think it through or arent aware of the technicalitites. IIRC jackfrags also did a poll which came out in favor of ultrawide but still abandoned it shortly after.
in any case i hope you find success, because i really enjoy your content. BTW i found you through marzipan dan. he recommended you in one of his videos.
all the best
@@timelessgamer_UK
+ i think your thumbnails could be improved in order to get more clicks! maybe less text and better legibility. and in the video title department theres also a lot of good content online to help.
im saying all this because marzipan dan, in his recommendation, talked about how he doesnt understand why you dont get more views, and i agree when it comes to your content, but in order to grow on yt you really have to play the algorithm game. hope to see you grow, because you content deserves more views! cheers :)
I really appreciate the support - on the thumbs I’ve really tried to simplify them. I’ve had a lot of talks with Dan about channel metrics / what takes off & what doesn’t. It’s all a mystery. Really happy for him but why did three of his videos early on get +100k views? Why does YT arbitrarily shut down my vids which are doing REALLY well, by which I mean just stop showing impressions? It’s a mystery!! All I can do is my best & try to make it as snappy as possible. I’ve had one video do “well” and that paid off. I hang in there for the day I get a Dan level breakthrough & a video seen by +100,000 people. One day, it has to happen one day!!
i've just noticed you've only been doing this for a year. you should just continue and maybe post a bit more often, but honestly you're on track. as long as your content stays this good or even improves, things like thumbnails and so on are something you'll learn over time. i'm a parent myself so i understand the struggle, but honestly i think you have a good chance of making this your full time gig, so do everyone a favor and keep at it. social media growth is exponential/cumulative. the first 1k subs are more difficult than the first 10k@@timelessgamer_UK
