Thank you so much AKA!!!! You're channel is awesome much like most other battlefield RUclipsrs. Keep up the top plays clips and all these tutorials that you're doing!!!
Aggressively tanking is similar to playing as an aggressive infantryman, just bigger. You still need to be aware of your surroundings, what weapons work at what ranges, and how you can get the drop on the enemy and retreat before they encircle you.
Going full support for a tanker buddy is so much fun. Jumping in and out of the gunner seats, and in/out of the vehicle to repair is more exciting than driving imo
Agreed! I did this with a quick little armored car type deal and a squad member, we lasted a good while too, sadly died when I hopped out to repair and we got the death blow
Another tip is always switching to that coax to keep enemies heads down while the cannon is reloading. You never want to show weakness or vulnerability I'm constantly switching between coax and main gun, I see you do that as well.
I like how the twin .50 calls on the pacific amphibious tanks are twice as effective against infantry than the 4x20mm on Flakpanzer. The rounds fired by the German 20mm were twice as heavy and had the same velocity as the .50 cal. So twice the damage, twice the guns. Should be 4x as powerful as 2x .50 cals. But that would be ridiculous. I’m just saying the 20mm should get a buff and just give it way less ammo.
NGC 7635 battlefield logic. Unfortunately it’s not real life. in real life u can’t just get shot 5 times than get revived over and over again. I hope in the next battlefield they have a game mode that uses gameplay mechanics from the game squad for people like us who care about ultra realism
Small note for your gunner section, the support class engineer role also has the fast repair and reduced overheat on vehicle (and stationary) guns. Which makes them excellent gunner/repair copilots for tankers that want to play as crew.
I once parked a Staghound on those boats where you were on Rotterdam around the 2:00 mark. Something hilarious about people jumping down into “cover” and then immediately panicking when they realize they are looking at a tank...
I didnt realise there was a name for it but when I played this game, I would bring a tank to the outskirts of objectives, with my squadmate in the gunner seats. We were so practiced at working together, I would angle around so he could gun down infantry lungeminers. Or if I was gunner and we got hit, I would hop out, throw smoke down and repair him / fight infantry as he pulled back. So many games we were in the same tank for most of the match.
Thx for breaking the video down into several enjoyable sections. It makes it all a lot more easy to digest and also just tastes better. Much easier on the stomach
miguelzaibatsu and me and my friend constantly carry our team even when I’m not tanking so I guess I’m bad at infantry when dropping 60 kills and and 2 deaths on my best game of conquest
@@saladin30 you're not the only one. I was tanking last night and a dude in my own squad was map edging the whole game pretty much making him utterly useless. I started using the LVT to drive under him and flip him over to get him to get the hint....he didnt lolol
A quick FYI: at 14:40 he states that you should prioritize assaults and other tanks when low on health. I think it would be wise to kill any supports aswell as they can do a similar amount of damage as the assault class. Just today I found out that shaped charges when placed on the engine can do 50 damage per to theT34 Calopie so I popped that sucker in less than 10 seconds. If it’s Tldr: 14:40 watch out for supports aswell
really god video, thanks for this as I've yet to level all tanks up due to not being able to get them and then getting blown to bits when i do get them.
@@l.palacio9076 Shermans were pretty bad, especially when compared to something like the Tiger, It makes sense that there would be that level of difference between the two tanks
@@vallianroke1375 I get it, the Sherman is a medium tank and the Tiger is a heavy tank. My problem is with maps that put USA against Germany, because USA don't have heavy tanks to fight against Tigers
German Medium tank Tank Flares Shotty like secondary Main tank shell does good damage to armor, Flares lets me know where any enemy is at, when I want to push really hard. Shotty secondary lets me kill many infantry back to back, Splash damage kills infantry really fast. I go 100-0 at times with this load out.
A tip for light vehicle users: I find that for the light tanks like the Type 97 and Panzer 38t, it works well to equip armour-piercing ammo rather than going for a larger gun: circling around tanks, equipping AT, and blasting them from behind. I managed to flank quite a few Shermans and other medium/large tanks using this tactic, and believe it takes only around 2 hits from AT from behind to take 'em out - at least with Sherman at close range...
Tbh I really like the tank gameplay in BFV, assualt classes don’t bust me in like 2 seconds because I usually find them and just blast em. This is just my opinion though
It’s hard to find a middle ground too far and your not that useful and just farming kills, too close and you just get rocket spammed (and now lunge mines) and get murdered. you gotta Find the middle ground where your a presence on the objective and the enemy is wary of you but can’t just rush you.
Love the vid, great tanker tips but most for new players. The problem i always have is that my team doesn't know what objectives are and won't push or never assist a tank with either repairs or supportive fire. And if you have a tanker in your team its always either a tiger who is clueless or a sherman or type 95 with 0 awareness.
Helpfull af been playing since release gettin bored of bf5 atm but never been good at tanks but ganna use this and the other links to try get better thanks
@@eagleone5456 no because the team with better tank players would absolutely dominate making it a much worse experience for the majority of players on the losing team
I think that tanking can clear a point then protect the counter attack. But if your tank is used as a direct response to the counter attack although your not on the point it’s still essential to the objective. That’s how I play. Every solider you pull towards yourself is less killing the captures
I often enter lobbys and squads where no one is trying to help the Tankers going around and helping, luck of the draw I guess, I use the Valentine Archer and Sturmgeschütz a lot and sometimes switch to the Churchill or Tiger on occasion. For the Valentine Archer I typically find good cover behind the Stone walls on Panzerstorm. They may be temporary cover, but since most people use the standard shells and almost never the APDS or Armor Piercing. The shells do little damage to me. Another I like to do since most Assault players are a little greedy when attacking tanks, I pretend to be oblivious to them when I see them get close I stay still, possibly fire off a shell. If they're cocky and dumb they'll go for the Dynamite. The Archer has a rear-facing gunner seat I use to complete the trap for that assault player. They come too close and I switch to the gunner seat and kill them at close range because it's hard to not hit them. The smart assault players typically use their Panzerfaust or PIAT or M1A1 Bazooka and don't fall for it. Note for Battlefield V Assault players: just because you HAVE Dynamite, doesn't mean you should use it always on a Lone Tank, instead set a Trap, then shoot the tank with a rocket to get it's Attention.
in BF3 I always played support and I made a point of spawning near sniper hotspots and dropping my ammobox there in BF5 I usually play medium range assault, but sometimes switch to assault to repair vehicles and guns throughout the map. My aim still sucks but my gameplay massively improved trying to see the bigger picture and changing class accordingly Nothing as strong as a tank with a repairman as first gunner
You fond tanking as fun as the other games?? I'm a tanker also, and while I hated stuff like staff shell and lock ons in bf4(I never used them either btw), at least it was fun. Here, so so
I usually sit around the objectives and shell the area to support the infantry, and then I rush just to the outskirts of the objective, so I have an easy escape route. And whenever I see a tank, I just rush it with my AP-shells (Using the Panzer IV), which absolutely murders just about every tank, if you know where to place your shells (i.e. tracks when approaching from the front, the side when approaching from, the side? And then finally, the back, again, when approaching from the back. NEVER target the turret, unless you want to disable the turret rotation speed.), and if you place them correctly and have a nice aim, then you're pretty damn near invincible. The PAK-40 specialization for the Panzer IV is good all around. Also for infantry, but you just need to be a bit more accurate, to hit the infantry within its splash damage kill range. The Valentine is just a tad bit different. You can just spamfire the cannon, due to its higher rate of fire, and be pretty effective. I also prefer to use the AP-composite shells here. Though just not as effective as the Panzer IV's AP shells. Finally, heavy tanks. All the same. I don't use the howitzer on the Churchill, because I wan't to be capable of taking down other tanks. So I use the APC rounds, with much higher muzzle velocity (Compared to the howitzer). And with the Tiger, just use the damn HEAT-T shells. You can potentially take down a medium tank with two shells.
Previous bf games had a limit at ammo so you had to wait for it to recharge the ammo basically unlimited, here in 5 you have to actually be careful and spent your ammo wise and then you have to go back to resupply,
@@kyodairiker war thunder is not better at all The grind is annoying you have to pay a lot more money if you want to just get all the tanks/planes in one tree without wasting a year of your life and 1 shot can end it all making it not new player friendly the graphics are worse and you can’t customize like you can in bf5 for example you can’t put a new turret or new armor (yes I know you can put tracks but that’s it) also the skins are not interesting and you can only put 2 3D decals unless you pay $10 a month so war thunder is so much worse
I like your video, I’ve been a tanker since bad company and cod 3 and waw I love tanks in battlefield games and yet I still have trouble lol despite many defenses I get taken out by ground troops faster then anything else
You sound a lot like Ahoy 😂 the perfect voice for narrating videos. I hope you abuse that and make some awesome dramatic videos in his old style during the CoD years.
Being passive isn't an issue since you're more likely to know what's going on around you and be in a position to say defend a cap or stop a push since you aren't either dead/out of ammo due to being aggressive or going cap to cap with the zerg.
One tip I can give is if you're using the Staghound please do not attempt to 1v1 any tanks especially if you don't have the ability to shoot them with rockets. You can be 3 shot (4 shot w/ instant repair) by any tank in the game. The Panzer 38T even has you outmatched considerably with it's APCR rounds. At least that's what I've seen so far.
About the funny moments we never gonna get in BFV as we get in BF3 and 4 when you are an infantry fighting a tank and he jumps out and you steal the tank then he do the same thing to you and you jump out trying to kill him and he jumps back in again and so on and on. Those moments will never happen in BFV thanks to those locked animations.
@@MatteAwesome Actually not true it happens once not a couple of times. Just show me a single video about it. BFV would've have been the best game of the decade if it was realistic, historically accurate and without bugs.
MatteAwesome lol idc either way but it’s funny how half the community doesn’t really care about realism and the other half gets super passed over fancy cosmetics
I don't really camp unless I'm taking a flag, but i dont understand the hate campers get. People moan about realism yet expect you to run about with MMG's
I want to see more squad play. An example is two assault players, one medic, and one support. This would be good for tank hunting. Assault would bring all AT weapons, medic would bring all smokes and health packages and support should bring an ammo crate with and AT pistol with LMG for quick shots on enemies. I feel like this is the strongest tank hunting squad! I feel like this would give any tank player a run for their money!
Shepherd Wu I can see that, with that said the point of the support in the squad is the keep the group filled with ammo and bog down enemies trying to stop the two assault classes from doing their job. The support should only jump in if completely necessary. The assault class has the best AT weapons, so use it to your advantage. The medic btw should be healing/reviving (duh) ;as well as hiding the assault from moving up.
Well, no matter what tank class you have as a solo player you cannot prevent the "here I am " gunner from spawning into your vehicle and shooting at trees and random objects so that by the time you encounter the enemy they know full well you are there.
If you get an enemy standing on your tank and nobody has shot them off, look for steep terrain and drive off it. When they fall off they immediately die giving you another kill.
In my opinion if there's one thing BFV got right it's tanking and piloting. Sure, it may have been done better in previous titles but that doesn't mean it is bad here. Plus older games are either dead or have a playerbase of only hardcore players that don't really leave room for newbies or casuals, which makes casual play on those older games a bit more difficult in my experiences. That's not to say BFV doesn't have its fair share of sweats but there's usually a much more casual playerbase so hopping on for a quick match is pretty easy.
I’m abit of a natural tanker I’ve got military in my heritage ground and Air Force. And the best advice is with tanking in Battlefield 5 do not be timid fight like it’s your last stance and don’t try and outrun infantry. Stick to you guns and don’t be close to infantry use your tank like a high powered sniper if there’s a large enemy garrison. Push up with air support to an objective to scatter infantry and destroy heavy positions then when retreating start co orditnating retreat after the 1st shot because the second will come and then you’ll have to move, if your in a larger tank like a Churchill 6 pounder or tiger stay put and fire back use your armour advantage because an awful gun isn’t really a problem when you have good armour and also a key tip from war thunder angle tigers are great always stick at a 30, 40 degree angle with the front plant and they’ll most likely be a glance and you should be alright
I love being a tank gunner/repair support player Its frustrating when a tanker goes rogue, meaning they solo push, get swarmed and we lose a great asset. BUT teams that support the tank and tanks that support the team are damn near unstoppable turning their snipers into easy kills and our assault players into objective capturers
Without infantry protecting you, once you're within 100 yards of the enemy you're basically insta-killed. The assault class is way to powerful to overcome and main cannon splash damage is horrible. I resort to using the Tiger more like an Anti-tank sniper, as opposed to something lethal able to push. Kind of a bummer.
I have a tip for infantry If you down someone at the near end of the match stay on them for a while because if a medic tries to revive you can mow them down instantly
Also if you have a gunner in a tank, don’t just sit sideways lobbing rounds into the distance leaving the gunner staring at a brick wall or embankment. It’s very frustrating.
Almost every time I get in a tank, I at least get 15 kills on average. I've gotten 50-0 games just punishing the enemy team. Or I get outsmarted with only a few kills
What's the best tank ? I know its probably a more "by preference" subject. I've been trying to level up the Sherman and doing not too bad but just wondering if there is better
First off you have to be on hill or be on elevated area that helps. It's not like a plane is going to fly right at you and say shoot me. Even though some do dip down that low to bomb or just to crash into you. You need to learn how far to lead a airplane while he's flying. It takes a few misses to understand. Like he said Azura productions has about 2 dozen vids on tanking . One he explains how to snipe a plane or planes, difference on shells to be used. Sindibad is another who just makes videos, this guy just wrecks planes & tanks.
I know this is a 1 month old video I been trying to get help but I don’t see videos on it but when I remove all my hands of the controller my tank moves on it own I don’t know what to do it ruins my gameplay with tanks
Situational awareness... :D "YeAaAH bOi leMmE dRiVe DiS tIgEr tAnK tO tHe piEr! wAiT waT?!?!?! LoL dAt wAs fUnNy ;DDDDDD" Most of players just camp in redzone and farm kills. They dont care if they lose the round as long as they get most kills. They only game mode in find tanks useful is breakthrough. Use either 38T or Staghound. Take out infantry, retreat and let your friendlies cap the flags. Rinse and repeat. This experience comes from playing 1000+ hours on ps4 community

I like your video, I’ve been a tanker since bad company and cod 3 and waw I love tanks in battlefield games and yet I still have trouble lol despite many defenses I get taken out by ground troops faster then anything else
Thank you (or should i say tank you 🙃) for this nice guide. You made some really good points, which i will try out now! ♡
You sound a lot like Ahoy 😂 the perfect voice for narrating videos. I hope you abuse that and make some awesome dramatic videos in his old style during the CoD years.
Being passive isn't an issue since you're more likely to know what's going on around you and be in a position to say defend a cap or stop a push since you aren't either dead/out of ammo due to being aggressive or going cap to cap with the zerg.
One tip I can give is if you're using the Staghound please do not attempt to 1v1 any tanks especially if you don't have the ability to shoot them with rockets. You can be 3 shot (4 shot w/ instant repair) by any tank in the game. The Panzer 38T even has you outmatched considerably with it's APCR rounds.
At least that's what I've seen so far.
I can't wait to get bf5 on instant gaming and start learning to use these advices
Yea
Loved the vid. Really great tips.
YES YES YES I WAS SEARCHING SO LONG 4 THIS
Those mine clearer rockets combined with main cannon are devistating when aimed at other tanks
Azura production 👌
About the funny moments we never gonna get in BFV as we get in BF3 and 4 when you are an infantry fighting a tank and he jumps out and you steal the tank then he do the same thing to you and you jump out trying to kill him and he jumps back in again and so on and on. Those moments will never happen in BFV thanks to those locked animations.
It's more realistic and immersive
@@conesinker_4209 Its a game and I rather have fun than "realistic"
@@MatteAwesome Actually not true it happens once not a couple of times.
Just show me a single video about it.
BFV would've have been the best game of the decade if it was realistic, historically accurate and without bugs.
MatteAwesome lol idc either way but it’s funny how half the community doesn’t really care about realism and the other half gets super passed over fancy cosmetics
I don't really camp unless I'm taking a flag, but i dont understand the hate campers get. People moan about realism yet expect you to run about with MMG's
Hearing thunderrun in the background was nostalgic
Good chunk of info well done...
I want to see more squad play. An example is two assault players, one medic, and one support. This would be good for tank hunting. Assault would bring all AT weapons, medic would bring all smokes and health packages and support should bring an ammo crate with and AT pistol with LMG for quick shots on enemies. I feel like this is the strongest tank hunting squad! I feel like this would give any tank player a run for their money!
AT pistol is not as effective as AT mines, I usually just put AT mines near the tanks and detonate them
Shepherd Wu I can see that, with that said the point of the support in the squad is the keep the group filled with ammo and bog down enemies trying to stop the two assault classes from doing their job. The support should only jump in if completely necessary. The assault class has the best AT weapons, so use it to your advantage. The medic btw should be healing/reviving (duh) ;as well as hiding the assault from moving up.
Well, no matter what tank class you have as a solo player you cannot prevent the "here I am " gunner from spawning into your vehicle and shooting at trees and random objects so that by the time you encounter the enemy they know full well you are there.
If you get an enemy standing on your tank and nobody has shot them off, look for steep terrain and drive off it. When they fall off they immediately die giving you another kill.
I spent more time destroying tanks than stying in them, unless the tank driver is blind, it's quite difficult to bust tanks
Amazing content!
3:03 how you get those tank learning or whatever, ik in settings but where
I like all the load outs but the APCRs on the Tiger will eat any light armor and sometimes two shot churchills
In my opinion if there's one thing BFV got right it's tanking and piloting. Sure, it may have been done better in previous titles but that doesn't mean it is bad here. Plus older games are either dead or have a playerbase of only hardcore players that don't really leave room for newbies or casuals, which makes casual play on those older games a bit more difficult in my experiences. That's not to say BFV doesn't have its fair share of sweats but there's usually a much more casual playerbase so hopping on for a quick match is pretty easy.
Dude should definitely be narrating National Geographic
I’m abit of a natural tanker I’ve got military in my heritage ground and Air Force. And the best advice is with tanking in Battlefield 5 do not be timid fight like it’s your last stance and don’t try and outrun infantry. Stick to you guns and don’t be close to infantry use your tank like a high powered sniper if there’s a large enemy garrison. Push up with air support to an objective to scatter infantry and destroy heavy positions then when retreating start co orditnating retreat after the 1st shot because the second will come and then you’ll have to move, if your in a larger tank like a Churchill 6 pounder or tiger stay put and fire back use your armour advantage because an awful gun isn’t really a problem when you have good armour and also a key tip from war thunder angle tigers are great always stick at a 30, 40 degree angle with the front plant and they’ll most likely be a glance and you should be alright
Can you please do a ultimate pilot guide?
That tank going in the water lmfao
Thnx for the tips
I love being a tank gunner/repair support player
Its frustrating when a tanker goes rogue, meaning they solo push, get swarmed and we lose a great asset. BUT teams that support the tank and tanks that support the team are damn near unstoppable turning their snipers into easy kills and our assault players into objective capturers
Awesome Vid you should do one for planes
What game is that? In the pacific island at the beginning of the video at 0:55??? I’m knew to bfv :(
Without infantry protecting you, once you're within 100 yards of the enemy you're basically insta-killed. The assault class is way to powerful to overcome and main cannon splash damage is horrible. I resort to using the Tiger more like an Anti-tank sniper, as opposed to something lethal able to push. Kind of a bummer.
They need to fix the broken hit-reg in tanks already. 90% of tank vs tank fights involve dusting.
Is that what happens where I see the emeny shell fly just over or past my tank and it still damages me?
Miss ya dude. Hope all's well in your life!🙏
tanking in bfv is harder than my .... sometimes
Tanks are big slow tho in bf5
Try playing tank in War Thunder
To become a chad Japanese tanker you must of put tank in the tunnel for max sneekiness.
Am I the only one who noticed the trees coming through the walls at 4:12?
Yeah his game is possesed
5:18 Its chassis is missing
Noobs: TaNks N PLaNes rUiN Battlefield
Me: Do you want a washed out call of duty game or do you want a better experience?
what if my enemy is watching this video
damn :')
Love getting to use the Sherman 6 times in 1 iwo jima game, just to be bum rushed by 2 or 3 tanks every time.
Gotta be smart
11:58 this is a really risky move because you risk losing your tank and also the dumbass teammate might steal your tank
Thanks 👍
The Sherman I had everything on the right side for loadout
I reached top tier in WT so a game with a history of fast af tank turrets shouldn't really be that big of a problem for me
I got a Masterclass ad for this video, lol
It's really stretching the term to call that "lack of Situational Awareness" @ 2:25
This is just an idiot in a vehicle.
Think he was just using that as a segue into situational awareness.
I have a tip for infantry
If you down someone at the near end of the match stay on them for a while because if a medic tries to revive you can mow them down instantly
whats the skin on type 100 at 2:21?
in the top left you seee 'REVIVE PLEASE'.This is an EPIC problem in the game,well everyday life there is NO COMMON DECENCY anymore!
I prefer the Puma over the Panzer T due to it’s speed but comparing the Puma and the Panzer T, which one is more durable?
I would think ima Sherman cave sweeping you would use a flame thrower on you’re tank
How can i get the cammo (2:25)
Tip: valentine archer in the corner of the map to snipe tanks
4:02 graphic card dying or Wall glitch?
Also if you have a gunner in a tank, don’t just sit sideways lobbing rounds into the distance leaving the gunner staring at a brick wall or embankment. It’s very frustrating.
Almost every time I get in a tank, I at least get 15 kills on average. I've gotten 50-0 games just punishing the enemy team. Or I get outsmarted with only a few kills
What's the best tank ? I know its probably a more "by preference" subject. I've been trying to level up the Sherman and doing not too bad but just wondering if there is better
I prefer the greyhound and Puma. They are beasts once you get them upgraded
I have a ps4 how do you snipe airplanes out the sky
First off you have to be on hill or be on elevated area that helps. It's not like a plane is going to fly right at you and say shoot me. Even though some do dip down that low to bomb or just to crash into you. You need to learn how far to lead a airplane while he's flying. It takes a few misses to understand. Like he said Azura productions has about 2 dozen vids on tanking . One he explains how to snipe a plane or planes, difference on shells to be used. Sindibad is another who just makes videos, this guy just wrecks planes & tanks.
I’d recommend watching Azura Productions’ videos, but I can still give you a tip. Use the Valentine Mk VIII and the Panzer IV
I know this is a 1 month old video I been trying to get help but I don’t see videos on it but when I remove all my hands of the controller my tank moves on it own I don’t know what to do it ruins my gameplay with tanks
Situational awareness... :D
"YeAaAH bOi leMmE dRiVe DiS tIgEr tAnK tO tHe piEr! wAiT waT?!?!?! LoL dAt wAs fUnNy ;DDDDDD"
Most of players just camp in redzone and farm kills. They dont care if they lose the round as long as they get most kills.
They only game mode in find tanks useful is breakthrough. Use either 38T or Staghound. Take out infantry, retreat and let your friendlies cap the flags. Rinse and repeat.
This experience comes from playing 1000+ hours on ps4 community
no one going to talk about that grass or foliage at 4:04?
i just started playing, how do i get the tank i’m the only one on my squad not in a vehicle and i don’t know how to get one
