Some people were asking for a tank guide so I put one together. Tanking is a bit different in Battlefield V compared to other Battlefield games but you can still play aggressively and dominate the map.

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

2:26 "The Last Tiger" and the real story of how it happened

Master tank guide done masterfully. Covered lots of good tips. 👍👍👍

I really love the new amphibious tanks with that engine upgrade. They are quite fast and it sometimes feels like BF4 Style tanking is possible.

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.

2.50. That was the fastest rocket call in ever! Usually it taks like 15 seconds to be called in

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.

Sometimes It feels like I’m the only competent tanker on ps4

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

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.

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.

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...

Useful info, well paced, clear audio/diction + decent to recommend another youtuber: Thanks (I levelled every tank at last!)

The sherman tank is incredible!

Love how you can get headshots with a tank canon

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

Thanks for the quality content Art, i really appreciate it.

2:25 You know panzer of the lake, now get ready for tiger of the river

Thank you (or should i say tank you 🙃) for this nice guide. You made some really good points, which i will try out now! ♡

World of tanks player: interesting ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°

YES YES YES I WAS SEARCHING SO LONG 4 THIS

Wish they would increase tank spawn numbers... Just one, or two more. Tanks were very influential in WWII

Loved the vid. Really great tips.

Azura production 👌

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

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...

Good chunk of info well done...

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.

Thnx for the tips

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.

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

Amazing content!

I can't wait to get bf5 on instant gaming and start learning to use these advices

This is a very good and professional tank guide, but im also a tanker, this video wont change my gameplay, but this will help many players

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.

Tankdrivers should consider that the movement range of the gunner is even smaller. Especially up- and downhill.

Thanks 👍

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 really hope Azura gets a bunch more subs because his videos are so well done.

10:04 There's a battle going on and those two soldiers are just doing cartwheels for fun

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.

Those mine clearer rockets combined with main cannon are devistating when aimed at other tanks

Nice vid

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

Miss ya dude. Hope all's well in your life!🙏

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.

Hearing thunderrun in the background was nostalgic

That tank going in the water lmfao

11:40 this plane was literally staring down a tank barrel and didn't realize it

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

Awesome Vid you should do one for planes

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.

I got a Masterclass ad for this video, lol

Can you please do a ultimate pilot guide?

I like all the load outs but the APCRs on the Tiger will eat any light armor and sometimes two shot churchills

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.

That’s it 😀😍

nice

13:06 that’s spot looks op asf lmao, with a small tank just hide in there and repair

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.

The military crest

The Sherman I had everything on the right side for loadout

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 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 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

Am I the only one who noticed the trees coming through the walls at 4:12?

I spent more time destroying tanks than stying in them, unless the tank driver is blind, it's quite difficult to bust tanks

As an experienced tank player I agree 🐼🖒

I would think ima Sherman cave sweeping you would use a flame thrower on you’re tank

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.

In panzerstorm i killed a tiger that was not angle so i took it as advantage

I want to know how the range finders work

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

Tip: valentine archer in the corner of the map to snipe tanks

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.

Noice video

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

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.

tank man

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!

3:03 how you get those tank learning or whatever, ik in settings but where

To become a chad Japanese tanker you must of put tank in the tunnel for max sneekiness.

Love the vid but i dont think theres a stabalizer on tiger h

You know im not the greatest tanker in bfv but usually when i hop in one im super agressive not coming at spawn and i hardly get taken out buy enimeis its all in the smoke launchers

How much health does quick repair give to the tank?

tanking in bfv is harder than my .... sometimes

Infantry can do some work without a tank but tanks struggle without infantry

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

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

I was the best with the flamethrower tank in bf1 is this similar

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 dont understand why I cant chose my soldiers gun.. You always have the same gun when you exit the tank.. You should be able to chose a gun. Maybe limit what guns you can have but atleast make choices..

They need to fix the broken hit-reg in tanks already. 90% of tank vs tank fights involve dusting.

how do i get the big view in 3rd person on xbox

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!

11:58 this is a really risky move because you risk losing your tank and also the dumbass teammate might steal your tank

Dude should definitely be narrating National Geographic

What game is that? In the pacific island at the beginning of the video at 0:55??? I’m knew to bfv :(
