Former M1A1 tanker here. This video made me buy the game and I have successfully convinced my old tank crew to do so as well. First time working together as a crew again in 10 years. We own the battlefield. Thanks for the videos. This game is unreal.
I was a victim of one of these bad boys and let me tell you, me and my squad were not very happy after getting obliterated off the road in our technical lmao
The splash damage by the 120mm shell on the infantry is just ridiculous. It literally can destroy a house but can't kill a guy that's 20 feet close to it? Geez.
Well to be fair, it is an M830A1 120mm High Explosive Anti-Tank Multi Purpose and not HE-Frag. Of course, ideally you wouldn't want to be anywhere near an exploding shell but that's my explanation for it..
@Solipsil that explosive is used in a shaped charge so its not designed to frag but penetrate armour. This is the reason it doesnt have a high lethal radius because it isnt designed to work that way
They had so much opportunity to leave the tank and try to RPG/Frag the abrams but they kept trying to gun it down, dumb move, maybe they just didn’t have anything that could harm the abrams so that’s okay in such case.
yeah, Karma may be good at infantry stuff, but he's an absolute brainlet at Tanking. He only lived because the Russians never punished him being over exposed and lacking situational awareness half of the time.
The loader yelling GET SOME MOTHERFUCKER is so America I cried bald eagles and cheeseburgers when I heard it. What an awesome addition to the game to have little things like that. I wonder if the russian and terrorist teams have any cool call outs I love it!
Yes. It is nicknamed the Dog House. It seems the developers believe the back up visual "battle sight" is the primary optic. Which is incorrect. If the gunner is using that then the primary up top has been destroyed and the gunner is forced to lean to his left and peer through the backup.
Yup, the primary sight is the top one, on this in the video i figure out the devs are used the back up one; only used when primary goes out or get destroyed...
Keith M the GAS (gunner’s auxiliary sight) is also used to ensure the gun has a clear line of fire, since the GPS (gunner’s primary sight) is at higher elevations than the gun itself
This was awesome! The amount of teamwork and communication required to be effective makes everything so much more interesting. I felt like I was watching an action movie lol
I hope squad devs add the possibility to see inside the tank .. is more immersive and cool (RO2 is an old game and if you take a tank you can watch inside and it was soooo freakin wonderful)
"Commander, scan please" Every time you say that, the commander just turns his sights some 10 degrees and completely ignores the surroundings. Also funny that the gunner is the commander in this case. Are people really this bad at gunning with a tank? Your expertise would be way more useful in the commander seat.
Yeah this really bugged me. It’s like having an officer being the machine gunner in a squad. It’s kinda hard to control a tank cannon and give out orders at the same time.
Intense! If you watch this video and don't immediately buy and play Squad, then would conclude you don't like FPS games. I've played a lot, it's not ever that intense, but that pretty much sums up how good Squad can be if you work well as a squad.
dude!! this map?! i am strictly infantry right now because n00b and we got tank-fked the entire game here. hiding behind those square stacks was terrifying with rounds n shells going overhead. safe to say we lost because i don’t think our armor was participating.
That is absolutely the opposite of how a tank game should be, he is pushing in brainless and had to use over 10 shots for the enemy MBT. If the enemy team would be any good they would not have survived at all. You can easily engage targets at over 1km with the MBT in squad.

Any tips to get better at this? Keeping communications simple and understandable playing w strangers is difficult as fuck
Would love to see some clips.
@Placebo you should really consider recording, editing, and posting your games. I think people would love to hear and see you guys.
Thank you for your service, from one vet to another.
maybe you can start a youtube channel
The Abrams loader is the unsung hero.
*U P !*
His poor arms....
**loads another shell with a grin**
Is it a script?
Wait abrams has a automatic loading system
Russians: *sneeze*
Karmakut: Damage report!
Most missed shots between 2 tanks I’ve ever seen in this game lmao. Great vid dude
I've had one or two at 1.5 km shootouts where we were having issues ranging in but accuracy this bad in CQB is just..
Ya I was starting to grind my teeth lol
6 sabots to track
would love to hear the enemy comms while that abrams is tearing them up.
I bet it was like: "Anybody god a mic? Hello? Hello!" :b
Say Hi Youtu- (kaboom)
I was a victim of one of these bad boys and let me tell you, me and my squad were not very happy after getting obliterated off the road in our technical lmao
Pull an ace combat
@@thekid4007when the technical?
This is like a movie. A single tank surrounded by a platoon of soldiers trying to survive. Man, and the comms really adds to the chaos.

Isa Jumali yeah, hes using more concentrated anti-armor rounds that will have far less fragments shooting out
@Solipsil that explosive is used in a shaped charge so its not designed to frag but penetrate armour. This is the reason it doesnt have a high lethal radius because it isnt designed to work that way
But irl it will scare the shit out you that's for sure
@Solipsil must compare to c4
When one Abrams somehow holds off an entire Mechanized Platoon.
*fury flash backs*
@@aunusuallylargecat1779 Laughs in DAKKA
This reminded me of battlefield 3 when you're left alone just surrounded trying to hold as long as possible
You know as a M1A1/A2 Driver and gunner it’s so satisfying hearing the loader yelling up. Seems like you need to boresight though 🤣
It’s like fury in squad
"im a fuakcing legend i know even the sound" hahah amzing
I love that movie
The tank that wouldnt die.
“ Shoot that son of the bit*h “
With a good ending tho lol
The tank gameplay is too excellent to have a HP system, they should have a better damage model.
I suppose with ERA it kinda works
They need war thunder mechanics.. it's a disservice otherwise
Oh boy get ready for bullshit 2km snipes
So what you're saying is you want the war thunder way of killing vehicles
@@putnamehere3803 yes, where its impact based. you hit a critical component u disable the vehicle.
"ok guys we gotta stop and ammo up im running out of HE shells"
*uses HE shells to vaporize 1 individual enemy*
It do be cool tho
i respect the Russian tank crew, they didn't give up
F
Russians never give up.
@@nick_toz completely, i respect russians very much

Everytime the loader load the gun.. n shout "UP"... Probably the most badass crew in an abrams..... Idk y.. but yea... IMO
All tanks have that
It's a part of the game
@@543soldier its a part of real life
@@Wassermel0ne No shit. Your comment made it sound like you thought the people were saying that through the mic.
I liked the "Bring it On!" At 16:00.
I just love that transition from everyone being all tactical and serious to instantaneous gamerbro at 30:24
😂😂😂 I just heard it again with that in mind. "MOM! MOM! Get the camera!"
Nobody threw smoke at the tank, it was an easy target and the russian team let it go.
1 tank against 40 hostiles, and nobody take an AT gear in hostile team :D
@@0b3r0ther exactly
yeah, Karma may be good at infantry stuff, but he's an absolute brainlet at Tanking. He only lived because the Russians never punished him being over exposed and lacking situational awareness half of the time.
I was the HAT that tracked you and pushed you at 6:34. I was hunting you all game, but couldnt kill you. one of the best matches Ive played though
lmaoo nice try though
haha noob
X to doubt
The way they made the audio from inside the tank is chilling
The sound of the Abrams' engine starting is crazy
Fucking Jet engine brother
The loader yelling GET SOME MOTHERFUCKER is so America I cried bald eagles and cheeseburgers when I heard it. What an awesome addition to the game to have little things like that. I wonder if the russian and terrorist teams have any cool call outs
I love it!
Isn't the Abrams gunner primary sight supposed to be on the top righthand side of the turret?
Yes. It is nicknamed the Dog House. It seems the developers believe the back up visual "battle sight" is the primary optic. Which is incorrect. If the gunner is using that then the primary up top has been destroyed and the gunner is forced to lean to his left and peer through the backup.
might be a balance thing, since the T72 has it's optics closer to below bore. The Abrams would be able to see over things better than the 72.
Yup, the primary sight is the top one, on this in the video i figure out the devs are used the back up one; only used when primary goes out or get destroyed...
Keith M the GAS (gunner’s auxiliary sight) is also used to ensure the gun has a clear line of fire, since the GPS (gunner’s primary sight) is at higher elevations than the gun itself
@@gb6912 except the chally gets it too so it can't be balance.
I’m normally not one to leave comments, but god damn this was great . Keep the videos up karma love them
@Anglus Patria why not?
@Anglus Patria oh
@Anglus Patria link?
@@dubber1416 ...
I watched this entire video and it would be worth it just to hear the loader scream UP each time!
This was awesome! The amount of teamwork and communication required to be effective makes everything so much more interesting. I felt like I was watching an action movie lol
They really need to add the canister shell and wide sight for the gun
4:34 the rag dolls that just go flying lol
This is the best teamwork like in the real battle so very active in every enemy to take down👍 nice
As someone who served in the 4th infantry division 1st battalion 68th armor regiment, this was entertaining af.
7:22 this is such a COD warpigs mission
5:30 gave me thunder run vibes
This is the kind of round tankers dream of.
The best job i ever had
Love the high intensity tank combat
Damn...
That's some excellent coordination with your squad right there...
What this guy at 15:36 says is the perfect recap of this match :)
Imagine if the game had dismemberment. I would love that
That infantry was stupid as hell, when you were tracked, all they had to do was hit you with some smokes, and just walk up on you.
Driver:50% skills
Second Gunner: 90% skills
Main Gunner: 200% skills
Soldiers on foot: 45% skills
It's because they are moving.
karmakut has no idea where and how to shoot.... watching him fail like this is ridicolous
you forgot about the loader.......3000% skill with some mf word
This is 10% luck
@@ruboypoza5465 20% skill
That T-72 would've been toast after the first shot hit lol
4:32 That guy exiting screen right 🤣🤣
I hope squad devs add the possibility to see inside the tank .. is more immersive and cool (RO2 is an old game and if you take a tank you can watch inside and it was soooo freakin wonderful)
Imagine after you destroy that tank and your at 25% health all you hear your teammate yell is "RPG"
That........Was...........EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!! I could just feel the stress from you and your crew. Great job!
A commander overhead view of a tank battle would be cool!
I like how it takes 10 shots to destroy a tank
8:08 I know that guy shit his pants when the barrel slewed over his exposed head and kept going 😂
no one:
Abrams Loader: UPP!
That intro alone just gave you a extra like
"Commander, scan please"
Every time you say that, the commander just turns his sights some 10 degrees and completely ignores the surroundings.
Also funny that the gunner is the commander in this case. Are people really this bad at gunning with a tank?
Your expertise would be way more useful in the commander seat.
They are a bunch of tryhards.
Yeah this really bugged me. It’s like having an officer being the machine gunner in a squad. It’s kinda hard to control a tank cannon and give out orders at the same time.
You missed so many on that first tank LOL
This was so intense, so fun to watch. I love tanks and would love to be a part of a virtual tank crew
7:51 *Illuminati Confirmed?* The guy on the hangar was just going ballistic!
PS: Great vid "Kamelnutz", keep it up!
Intense! If you watch this video and don't immediately buy and play Squad, then would conclude you don't like FPS games.
I've played a lot, it's not ever that intense, but that pretty much sums up how good Squad can be if you work well as a squad.
It would be nice to see some outside shots of the tank while you’re fighting
This looked so realistic, it felt like a real video from Afghanistan
I wouldnt go that far
@@darthkillerhog lmfao
doobyscoo my dude best god dam heli pilot to ever live lol
"BRING IT ON!"
It’s amazing there not dead with how often they mess up
That one scene was straight out of fury 🤣
I wonder if they'll add the French army anytime soon.
I want china or germany or someone like that
@@CardinalTester8 modern day Chinese military would be so awesome.
Hey should add India-Pakistan army or some s#it....
I think there's already a surrender match option in game
I hope they have a white flag you can carry as the French side
This game needs some Vietnam like jungle maps
Jungle maps would be fucking awesome if this game had destruction.
I bet Karma never drives the tank, always on the gun :(
Driving isn't good for UA-cam content that'd be boring as shit
also he drops 40 bombs with no deaths in it
salute to all tank and apc drivers out there that never got a single kill in game but still wins. the real mvp's 💪
That squad chatter is crazy
That loader has me yellin hooah like im loading that shyt myself
(Tower after the 1st tank)
"Blue 3, go ahead go green and clear, head back to the boresight line and prepare to re-screen."
7:51 Hello there mr spaghetti monster, didn't know you were in the game!
watched 5 or 6 karmakut videos now, lovin it!
I was a 19kilo tanker on the m1a2 SEP V2 from 07-14 loved it!
Side note no t72 takes a sabot or HEAT round from the 120 and still fights.
@@joecraig9108 Forreal. Any well placed shot leaves that thing unusable
Is the final scene in Fury
Damn this is probably the best tank gameplay I’ve seen
I was waiting for them to do a "Girls und Panzer" maneuver . Which is drift the tank around to the back of the T-72 and shoot it in the back.
Reminds me of that one mission In Battlefield 3
Missed the tank gameplay so much thanks karma!
The first fight with the tank was like the movie Fury!
dude!! this map?! i am strictly infantry right now because n00b and we got tank-fked the entire game here. hiding behind those square stacks was terrifying with rounds n shells going overhead. safe to say we lost because i don’t think our armor was participating.
That a really good tense fucking battle and more easier to get PTSD
I play armor pretty often in game but I’ve never had a match like that! That was truly epic!
haha that battle at 4 mins was just like in the Fury movie!
That was the most intense gameplay I've seen in squad
You definitely should do another run with it
Love your vids, your call outs are always on point!
Was that a Bradley who nabbed the T-72 kill towards the end? Talk about Gulf War vibes, the IFVs have to carry the MBTs... lol.
This is how a tank game should be --- i f**ing love it
That is absolutely the opposite of how a tank game should be, he is pushing in brainless and had to use over 10 shots for the enemy MBT. If the enemy team would be any good they would not have survived at all. You can easily engage targets at over 1km with the MBT in squad.
Lolz not a T72 on the planet that has survived more than one round from an Abrams...
i love how its view is through the GAS sight instead of the actually main sight
Good GOD! This deserves a million views! You were eating them UP!
Straight Fury fuel right here. Lots of fun.
Dude, of all your squad vehicle videos... 🔥🔥🔥👍👌🙌
9:59 LOL
GREAT video Karma 💪🏻
Let’s play a game, have a shot of vodka every time you hear UP!!! 😂
Great video Karmakut
Great battle, almost like watching a movie.
I admire you dude this game is hard AF
The first tank battle was really cool, I knew about squad but I’m only getting into content from it now
Damage models seem kind of off. But looks great.
where's the thermal optics on the abram's? when the enemy tank pops smoke this thing should see right through it.
"GET IN THE GUN HITCHINS HIT IT WITH THE 50!"
Damn that's alot of rounds to kill that t72
Choice! Great stuff Karma
