A couple of things to note: 1. Apparently I got the main gun wrong on the Churchill Mk VII - it has a 75mm not a QF3 pounder. 2. You can use any tank you want and go for some crazy aggressive plays but certain tanks just aren't suited to that gameplay. This guide looks at the best tanks for certain scenarios!
which the 3 inch gun is still 76.2mm, the QF 2 pounder is 45mm and historically had extreamly poor High Explosive shell which most crews opted for AP, the 6 pounder gun is 57mm and had much of the same issues as the 2 pounder gun although they did make a better HE shell although again it was mainly used with solid shot AP, the British really did not really further research with filler style shells such as Armor Piercing Balistacap or HEAT for their tanks and anti armor guns, tho they did make very effective solid shot AP shells such as for the 17 pounder (which funny enough had another horrible High Explosive round
The Stug isn't so bad after you upgrade the cannon, though it's really rough until that point. The tank's low profile allows for more stealthy approaches to ambush other tanks. It's shorter height also makes you much harder to hit. It's definitely not a frontline kind of tank though. I would recommend using it with more of an 'assassin' type of style.
@@JoMcD21 also the remote MG is worth to mention. With a good teammate you can play pretty aggressive, or even hide the tank in trenches and have an armored MG nest.

Ya Dice fucked tanks up in this game. They are so slow that you basically are forced to camp near the back otherwise you are swarmed from every angle by Assaults which is also the class 3/4 of player base plays.
The remote controlled MG makes the StuG so much better than the Archer. The Archer has no way to defend itself against infantry even with squadmates on the MG.
@@DillSulix, what are you talking about? 3/4's of my kills in the Archer are through the main MG and I'm not camping the hill side in Panzerstorm. It is very capable at defending itself against infantry, if you know where to expect infantry to come from. Shoot and scoot; don't camp one spot.
I've actually had some nice killstreaks with Tiger I while playing aggressively in Frontlines, it has pretty good blast radius by default, a lot of armor and S-mines absolutely devastate any assault player placing dynamites
great video. but I thought this was also going to explain tank damage. like how much damage is done from tank to tank and how the damage multipliers work for the engine and the turret.
I personally prefer the Tiger in close up infantry support and with S-mines. When you got a decent gunner to communicate with you can be unstoppable unless a whole team rushes you.
Thank you so much man! I love driving tanks in bfv, and this for sure will help a lot. I had a ton of questions before this vid and you pretty much covered it all!
The AA tanks should have been "reviewed" according to their AA capabilitys. I'd also like to see what spec. options is best when using the AA tanks for AA. Using AA tanks as Anti Infantry is pretty pathetic, according to some.
Considering there are only about three planes with high respawn times and quite vast maps, a good portion of your time you can't do much else aside from supporting the infantry. Or running from enemy tanks or bombers, latter may kill you in a single run without much chance of evading if they are decent. On most occassions you leave a direct vehicle battle quite badly. But i to think he made a mistake with the german aa tank, the last perk, why should you choose the smoke rounds, as far as i remember they are pretty much useless, except for making a below mediocre smokescreen. Or have they been updated?
I agree with all those tank layouts other than 1 specialization on German AA tank, don't use smokes, use incindiary bullets, shoot the bullet next to the player and it kills them within 3 shots since it does fire damage too, it's op asf but great for sticky situations
I wouldn't exactly say melts. Doing a conversion to more easily visualize; it has 4 .79 cal high explosive cannons and it takes around 20-30 hits to kill. Super nerfed, but i guess it has to be.
I love the Staghound with Tulips and the Little John adapter. So many Tigers have found out just how bad it is to have one of those pop up behind them.
I cant even switch between my 3 pre-selected tanks because if you dont double click to get a tank someone else will take it. Used the valentine and panzer4 for over a month already without ever being able to switch.
What you do with tank is so good and useful to me, you same with weapons to be as good as possible in battlefield V. I really like this because it makes me think differently and maybe get better players, thanks for all the good you do on UA-cam
The KwK 40 L/48 (the one with the longer barrel) is simply a PaK 40 mounted on a turret of a tank. The name says Kampfwagenkanone, which can be translated into battle tank cannon. The shorter KwK 37 L/24 is the version you have without upgrades, also called Stummelkanone, or stub cannon. The Sturmgeschütz IV did have the same cannon as the upgraded KwK 40, but the StuG was no battle tank with a rotating turret, so they called it StuK for Sturmkanone, or assault cannon. It was basically the same cannon, though.
I disagree with the Tiger. I think the Hesh rounds are better. The APCR round seems to glance off tanks too often for my liking as opposed to the Hesh round imo.
Papa Pato I never use those “secondary ammo” hesh and canister are the best ones but the amount you get is not worth it better of getting something that offers more sustainability
I use S mine launcher with my tank on my tiger. Your turret is slow and your tank is slow. When you have assault trying to put C4 on your tanks. Pop the S mine and boom. EZ PZ I got 64 -0 or something in that KDR range with my tiger. I also prefer the shotgun shell for my medium tanks to kil infantry fast
The sturmtiger in the game is an abomination that should never be played by anyone ever. EVAR. 380mm rockets designed to tear down entire neighborhoods, does 23 splash damage on one infantry in a pile. some 17-25 damage to tanks. fugg outta here, DICE.
The Valentine Archer is actually driven backwards. The gun is not supposed to face forward, but it is made so in-game to make it actually usable. If you want to be VERY historically accurate, you can just turn it around when you spawn.
I'll agree with you on the Panzer lV just being a all around best tank in BFV. Those case rounds can do more damage to infantry than a shell blast. My second has to be the Valentine Mark Vlll. It just destroys Tigers with the 6pd gun and speed to out run there turret. The Archer has it's playing time. As you mentioned it has durability of paper machete if hit in the front engine. Gets kind of squirrelly after being hit also to maneuver. But that 17 pounder just reaches out and destroys things.
The staghound is probably the best tank for anti-air as well. With the little John adapter, you'll be able to snipe JU-88s easily when they fly in close. There's no recovery is you manage to hit a plane with the stag, making it one of the best anti air tanks if you have that aim.
Personally, for the Tiger 1 tank I perfer a left, mid, right, and either a mid for extra anti infantry capabilities, or a right for anti tank. I use the zimmert and turret rotation for extra survivability against assault players over the smoke and ammo. In my opinion, the smoke doesn't work that well with the Tiger because of its horrendous reverse speed, and the extra ammo is somewhat eliminated by the added special shells (HEAT-T, or Apcr). Also faster turret rotation helps when enemy light tanks are trying to run circles around you, just rotate the tank as well, so you can keep up.
If we had no enter/exit animations that would make the tank crew an option like we had in BF3/BF4 the Stug could be a viable option given the protected 360 degree turret, but as it stands it is an unfun tank.
Sturmgeschütz is unique for it's protected gunner position with 360 degree views, so worked amazingly if there's a capable teammate manning the gun. Also the armor is as tough as Tiger yet with decent speed.
-Gets to ANTI AIR tanks, complains they're bad against infantry while decimating any infantry that gets near it. Really dude? You want to go back to the days of AA tanks being omnipotent like they were in BF3 and 4?
You should mention that the Staghound is the perfect AA vehicle as it has a ridiculously high maximum gun elevation (higher than any other non-AA tank). Combined with the Littlejohn Adapter, which gives you high-velocity projectiles, it's quite easy to shoot down any plane that dares to come close enough. I do it all the time and use it against planes more effectively than the actual AA tanks. One single hit destroys any plane in the game.
I find the HEAT round on the Tiger absolutely melts enemy vehicles. It'll 1 shot most halftracks and 2 shots tanks like the Valentine if you can squeak a side shot in. IIRC, on symthic the Tiger's HEAT round has the highest damage per shot (vs other vehicles) out of any tank in game with the Churchill's 95mm HESH round and the Sturmtiger's 380mm shell coming in just behind it. Likewise with the Panzer 4, I'd argue that AP rounds are your best bet. You will out DPM any British tank you'll face and you can pick them off at insane ranges due to the shell's near flat trajectory.
tiger 1- zimmerrit-fast turret-reinforced turret and anti personal mines.... with this setup its easy 40-60 to 0 games when played right and its a insane machine.. people tend to camp around but playing semi-agressive is the best way to go
While the Stug is undeniably quite horrible for the driver, it may be worth noting that, as a slight consolation, it has a great machinegunner seat. It allows a second player to remain safely in the tank while still having a 360 degree range of rotation like a regular top gunner, though there is a slight blindspot right up against the left side of the tank's hull. Again very small consolation but still.
When I use the staghound I use the little John adapter and dumbfire rockets and it destroys a tiger 1 tank in a couple of seconds before they have the chance to return fire
Not having a turret on the stug and churchill gun carrier is a huge bonus to protection since you can't take turret dmg which is the highest dmg you can take.
Pretty sure the crocodile has a lot more health than the Churchill. It's slower though. It can go toe to toe with a tiger easy. On most maps it's a much better way to spend your squad points.
The only one i disagree with is the V Archer, I personally prefer LLLM for the increased damage resistance and abilty to repair tracks in a critical moment
One thing i cant stress enough is that range is key, you almost never want to close the distance, unless you are using a vehicle with a flamethrower, but even then it's more for self defense Getting close to infantry is a death sentence, just keep your distance, not too far that you cant support your team, but far enough that assault players with AT Loadouts cant gang rape you
The valentine 2 is the best tank in the game . If you know how to play tanks you can take out heavy tanks with the valentine very easily since it's super fast and it has a big gun . I had a 47 kills and 0 deaths with the tank taking out 4 tanks 3 tigers . The valentine is great it can fight close , medium and long range . I'll give you a big tip , use armor piercing rounds and hit the tanks turret. After you damaged that the turret will have a hard time turning then just go in for the kill but don't get too close you might run into infantry .
Im driving tank very very often and have seen that when I'm using the Tiger(my favorite Tank) you can use the S mine thrower but you need to take other tanks on with a bit more caution but you are better suited against little infantry ppl with dynamite
Personally, I believe the panzer38t to be a lot stronger than the staghound as the ap rounds, tracks and much smaller size (pointing out how the staghound is probably the tallest tank in the game) mean you can easily run circles around a heavy or medium tank and quickly/ easily destroy them. I found this a lot more awkward to do in a staghound despite the tulip rockets.
Is there a place to find damage numbers for all the tanks and their weapons? You mentioned the panzer 4 does higher dps then tiger due to rate of fire. I’m curious where you saw that? I’ve been playing tiger but am now wondering if I should start investing in the panzer
@miguelzaibatsu not true I went 70-0 on breakthrough with that loadout. Just focus infantry. Also if you catch a tank from behind and destroy the turret it's easy to stop a tank but otherwise just focus on killing infantry
@miguelzaibatsu lol you have a weird attitude man. I generally do really well with that tank load out with the Valentine. I just don't engage with heavy tanks and am smart with my position. Do You think I'm impressed you have a high KD because you sit on a hill and tank snipe? Not really because personally I find that playstyle really boring. But it suits you and that's fine. Just remember as lots forget on the internet, just because you have an opinion and can voice it doesn't make you right.
@miguelzaibatsu hahaha I don't consider hiding away from the action good gameplay though, it's boring sitting on a hill. It doesn't matter anyway, I play the game with my group of friends for fun. You clearly play to have a high KD and that's clearly important to you. My priorities are elsewhere which is good for me
The 38T is the best, I killed to many Churchills and Guncarriers. Its so fast its easy to get behind them, and you keep driving in circles. You out drive the enemy turret turn speed. 9th best Tanker in the world in score and kills. :)
nonono. Good Ol days of bf3 cooperative tankin, Driver with regular shells and lock on shells. Good gunner and 3rd boi laser spotting and targeting vehicles/aircraft n doin repairs. I choose bf3 tanks over any bf anyday
I don’t want to shit on this segment of the video, but the Tiger can be used aggressively if you know what you’re doing. Don’t get me wrong, it is nowhere near as good as some others, but it can also do some damage. One of my best games with it was on Devastation going 30/2 in the Tiger. Either way, love the video. I haven’t seen someone go this in-depth yet
ok I really don't wanna hate, but if 30/2 is one of your best games I wouldn't directly say that "you know what you're doing". Also we never said that can't be used agressively, it just has better alternatives for that playstyle.
Stupidest thing with tanks: just get a friend to walk behind your tank and repair you constantly. You will defeat any other tank and walk away at 100%. Why do you have to go through a full repair cycle to gain health, but a support player adds health every second and can therefore repair during a battle? I hate it when i attack a tank, hit him 8 times, die, and see he is still at 100 health because an almost invisible support player stands behind him. Just make the rapair of support players similar to normal repair. It adds 30 health per cycle but if you get hit in between you need to start over.
The Flak Panzer is an absolute beast against planes. If they fly over you or near you, you can absolutely melt them in seconds without giving any time for them to react. I've done some testing and it takes 5-10sec to kill an enemy plane with it. The British AA tank with the base cannon, no upgrades, takes almost always 10 seconds or more. The Flak is also really effective against infantry if you know where they are. You can just look over an objective and shoot in there and you're guaranteed to get a lot of kills.
@@ErosNL I've done it many times. Let's make an example situation. You are on an open field without any other variables than the enemy plane, so it's just you and the plane. It's maybe 200m away from you and flying straight at you. You start shooting at it. It will most likely try to do manouvers so that you don't hit it, but it's quite easy to lead with that gun. They can't get out of your line of sight/range before they're dead. Let's add other variables, such as the terrain. Here they have a better chance but it they're close enough and can't bomb you, they don't have a chance. Just to clarify, the 5-10sec mostly meant that 10sec to kill a full HP bomber and around 5sec to kill a full HP fighter. I've tried and succeeded with this multiple times and often I get to the top 5 of the match just by shooting down planes. That's how easy it is.
@@Sahtoovi I said "Good pilots", 90% of people taking planes are absolute garbage, I'm not saying the tank is shit, I'm saying it's not as good as you might think it is.
Ive only played the game for about less than a week now is it possible to change out the tree that you have chosen cause I know I choose something wrong at one point however I dont know how to undo it if it is possible
Stay out in the open away from cover. ******* TNT jockeys. Unless you know your alone and even then, stop shooting, go third person and lock your gun and fire blind. that normally lures out TNT jockeys thinking you are unaware of them. Keep the corners of the tank facing target. When out of ammo don’t turn around, reverse all the way back to ammo dump and keep your gun facing ur ass. That way you have armor one way and firepower in another. And never under any circumstance show your ass to anyone. A tank that can’t move is dead. And most importantly. Equip your tank and play its role. Don’t bring a tiger to an infantry battle. And don’t bring a panzer to a tank fight. Unless you have to set up right. Tactics- aim for turret, pop tracks or smoke the engine. Don’t charge into objectives. Let men go in and take the agro and pinned the enemies. Tank v Infantry- keep distance and use cover as long as you have support. Aim for the ground or the wall behind them. Use the blast radius to your upmost advantage, if you can’t get to them then move to a different target. Lastly. SUPPORT YOUR INFANTRY! You are just a artillery piece with armor. Your not invincible. Don’t play the brute I have tried and it rarely worked. It mainly ended with me have twelve tnt on ass and a lump of twisted steel. Btw there’s a hill in devastation, It’s high enough to hide a tiger, it’s on the German side directly from spawn. Let a archer and stag role right past me and fired only three shots of AP-HE, two for the archer and one for the stag in his rear. Both dead- not boasting just giving a example. Fight smart.
So, need help: what is the best tank for allied forces and axis forces, I like to play aggressive and I like to get alot of kills, any recommendations?
miguelzaibatsu what makes you take the panzer over the tiger? The mobility? I spend most of my time in the tiger way back picking off targets and objectives from a distance. I’m assuming panzer has a higher rate of fire?

IIRC, on symthic the Tiger's HEAT round has the highest damage per shot (vs other vehicles) out of any tank in game with the Churchill's 95mm HESH round and the Sturmtiger's 380mm shell coming in just behind it. Likewise with the Panzer 4, I'd argue that AP rounds are your best bet. You will out DPM any British tank you'll face and you can pick them off at insane ranges due to the shell's near flat trajectory.
tiger 1- zimmerrit-fast turret-reinforced turret and anti personal mines.... with this setup its easy 40-60 to 0 games when played right and its a insane machine.. people tend to camp around but playing semi-agressive is the best way to go
While the Stug is undeniably quite horrible for the driver, it may be worth noting that, as a slight consolation, it has a great machinegunner seat. It allows a second player to remain safely in the tank while still having a 360 degree range of rotation like a regular top gunner, though there is a slight blindspot right up against the left side of the tank's hull. Again very small consolation but still.
When I use the staghound I use the little John adapter and dumbfire rockets and it destroys a tiger 1 tank in a couple of seconds before they have the chance to return fire
Not having a turret on the stug and churchill gun carrier is a huge bonus to protection since you can't take turret dmg which is the highest dmg you can take.
Pretty sure the crocodile has a lot more health than the Churchill. It's slower though. It can go toe to toe with a tiger easy. On most maps it's a much better way to spend your squad points.
The s mines also work well in a pinch for the tiger since it can't reverse fast enough to outrun infantry. It's the only way to avoid dynamite.
Pretty sure the kwk40 also reduces the blast radius from 5m to about 3m on the panzer 4. Right tree with flares is best for anti infantry.
Also, you didn't pick the speed upgrade for the archer? Are you nuts lol
The only one i disagree with is the V Archer, I personally prefer LLLM for the increased damage resistance and abilty to repair tracks in a critical moment
So true. Without it one engine disable and you're dead meat.
The Stug is amazing at infantry assault support. S-mines are key. Keep the stub barrel and massacre with ballistic arc tactics.
finally someone who acknowledges that the Stug is worthless unless you want to take your squad for a ride
you forgot about one thing, tanks are most useful with teammate (support). So you could say which tank is better or worse in terms of second seat
Lol that chat message at 2:33 was me: Any tank I play > Tiger .
One thing i cant stress enough is that range is key, you almost never want to close the distance, unless you are using a vehicle with a flamethrower, but even then it's more for self defense
Getting close to infantry is a death sentence, just keep your distance, not too far that you cant support your team, but far enough that assault players with AT Loadouts cant gang rape you
The valentine 2 is the best tank in the game . If you know how to play tanks you can take out heavy tanks with the valentine very easily since it's super fast and it has a big gun . I had a 47 kills and 0 deaths with the tank taking out 4 tanks 3 tigers . The valentine is great it can fight close , medium and long range . I'll give you a big tip , use armor piercing rounds and hit the tanks turret. After you damaged that the turret will have a hard time turning then just go in for the kill but don't get too close you might run into infantry .
I just want the s-mine launcher or something like that for the British tanks because the German ones are overpowered
Great video, maybe im gonna start playing some tanks.👌 and the next video the same one just for planes💪
Planes. Ehm ehm. Bf109 G2 upgraded right side. Spitfire mk vb. Right side too
Im driving tank very very often and have seen that when I'm using the Tiger(my favorite Tank) you can use the S mine thrower but you need to take other tanks on with a bit more caution but you are better suited against little infantry ppl with dynamite
I like the stug. Considering it has an unkillable gunner and a decent gun, I saw myself getting like a 16 man streak pretty quickly.
Personally, I believe the panzer38t to be a lot stronger than the staghound as the ap rounds, tracks and much smaller size (pointing out how the staghound is probably the tallest tank in the game) mean you can easily run circles around a heavy or medium tank and quickly/ easily destroy them. I found this a lot more awkward to do in a staghound despite the tulip rockets.
I would say it's MUCH stronger when there isn't any armor against you, but when there is, the staghound might be a little better.
4:15
10/10 backs up the Churchill and flips the other tank over for the kill 😂
I enjoy using the Panzer IV. The KwK 40 is the same PaK 40 that we have, and the AP rounds are a good alternative.
It goes like this Valentine with snakelaunchers and Churchill with snakelaunchers
Is there a place to find damage numbers for all the tanks and their weapons? You mentioned the panzer 4 does higher dps then tiger due to rate of fire. I’m curious where you saw that? I’ve been playing tiger but am now wondering if I should start investing in the panzer
The Valentine with the case rounds is unstoppable, went 70-0 on aerodrom recently
Sadly the case round of that tank offers more ammo compared to the Panzer which offers less for the same damage....
@miguelzaibatsu not true I went 70-0 on breakthrough with that loadout. Just focus infantry. Also if you catch a tank from behind and destroy the turret it's easy to stop a tank but otherwise just focus on killing infantry
@@FatBoi310 but the panzer has a hull gunner position so it's probably just yo balance that
@miguelzaibatsu lol you have a weird attitude man. I generally do really well with that tank load out with the Valentine. I just don't engage with heavy tanks and am smart with my position. Do You think I'm impressed you have a high KD because you sit on a hill and tank snipe? Not really because personally I find that playstyle really boring. But it suits you and that's fine. Just remember as lots forget on the internet, just because you have an opinion and can voice it doesn't make you right.
@miguelzaibatsu hahaha I don't consider hiding away from the action good gameplay though, it's boring sitting on a hill. It doesn't matter anyway, I play the game with my group of friends for fun. You clearly play to have a high KD and that's clearly important to you. My priorities are elsewhere which is good for me
I feel like the British tanks are slightly better, that's just how I feel...
Wut? Tiger is the best tank to destroy all the other tanks, panzer 4 for infantry. Just the Croc Churchill is a beast...
Churchill howitzer? Anyone?
We can all agree that the Japanese tanks r Doo Doo in the game
The 38T is the best, I killed to many Churchills and Guncarriers. Its so fast its easy to get behind them, and you keep driving in circles. You out drive the enemy turret turn speed. 9th best Tanker in the world in score and kills. :)
Technically the Archer's engine is at the rear. It's the gun mounting that's backwards.
I’m no history bufff so idk if the timeline would be correct but I’d love to see the tank hunter kit again....and no not the new sniper!
Hopefully in the future we can get more tanks like the t-34 or the tiger 2 , Panther and American tanks .
In my option are the two best tanks the Valentine MKVIII and the Churchill with the 95mm and hesh ammo. It can destroy a tiger with three shots
Throw away Stug, bring in Jadgtiger. One shot everything.
Oh wait wrong game.
I'm more inclined to believe we'll get the Ferdinand/Elephant instead
Jagdpanther could be better it would be a bit faster and have a quicker reload since it had the 8.8 cm cannon
This was very helpful. I think I might have like 20mins max with them because of how terrible they are. I'll give it a go
The StuG is great! You need a guy on the turret MG and S-Mines. Then it turns into a battering ram! It can take a lot of hits without critical damage.
What does "X" mean in RMRX like at 8:50? I probably missed the explanation, so sorry :P
Michael Kantorski pretty sure that means it’s your call, either options are decent ones
I was wondering the same. I was like does he mean pick nothing or does he mean your choice?

bf3 tanks> bfv tanks
nonono.
Good Ol days of bf3 cooperative tankin, Driver with regular shells and lock on shells. Good gunner and 3rd boi laser spotting and targeting vehicles/aircraft n doin repairs. I choose bf3 tanks over any bf anyday
Leb0las BF4 was essentially the same thing lol
@@FatBoi310 u can only hold 2 people in bf4 tanks
@@Only_Now_Matters Oh God such good times.
Do you have any tips for side-scrap? I was trying it in the Battlefield V but I felt that is more random than skill based.
The stag hound wins for me tbh, once learnt you can take out tigers one on one by using 3rdperson and the speed advantage.
Big tanks < little tanks
Good stuff, enjoyed that.
I don’t want to shit on this segment of the video, but the Tiger can be used aggressively if you know what you’re doing. Don’t get me wrong, it is nowhere near as good as some others, but it can also do some damage. One of my best games with it was on Devastation going 30/2 in the Tiger. Either way, love the video. I haven’t seen someone go this in-depth yet
ok I really don't wanna hate, but if 30/2 is one of your best games I wouldn't directly say that "you know what you're doing".
Also we never said that can't be used agressively, it just has better alternatives for that playstyle.
Can u do a vid on the best ways to take out tanks
Idk man you get a dedicated person on that remote controlled MG with the Stug and a good driver you can actually do some damage
Stupidest thing with tanks: just get a friend to walk behind your tank and repair you constantly. You will defeat any other tank and walk away at 100%.
Why do you have to go through a full repair cycle to gain health, but a support player adds health every second and can therefore repair during a battle?
I hate it when i attack a tank, hit him 8 times, die, and see he is still at 100 health because an almost invisible support player stands behind him.
Just make the rapair of support players similar to normal repair. It adds 30 health per cycle but if you get hit in between you need to start over.
Me: Ah yes ze Panzer 38!!!
Dice: I spit on ze Panzer 38
Me: How dare you 🤬
What about that cannon with the gigantic muzzle that is built-into the tank? (It has something to do with a mortar I think)
Sturmtiger
What's the difference between blast, splash, and impact damage? I get confused when decided specs because idk what does what?
The Flak Panzer is an absolute beast against planes. If they fly over you or near you, you can absolutely melt them in seconds without giving any time for them to react. I've done some testing and it takes 5-10sec to kill an enemy plane with it. The British AA tank with the base cannon, no upgrades, takes almost always 10 seconds or more.
The Flak is also really effective against infantry if you know where they are. You can just look over an objective and shoot in there and you're guaranteed to get a lot of kills.
it might not sound like much but 5-10 sec is a lot ingame time. Good pilots will have time to react for sure.
@@ErosNL I've done it many times. Let's make an example situation. You are on an open field without any other variables than the enemy plane, so it's just you and the plane. It's maybe 200m away from you and flying straight at you. You start shooting at it. It will most likely try to do manouvers so that you don't hit it, but it's quite easy to lead with that gun. They can't get out of your line of sight/range before they're dead.
Let's add other variables, such as the terrain. Here they have a better chance but it they're close enough and can't bomb you, they don't have a chance.
Just to clarify, the 5-10sec mostly meant that 10sec to kill a full HP bomber and around 5sec to kill a full HP fighter.
I've tried and succeeded with this multiple times and often I get to the top 5 of the match just by shooting down planes. That's how easy it is.
@@Sahtoovi I said "Good pilots", 90% of people taking planes are absolute garbage, I'm not saying the tank is shit, I'm saying it's not as good as you might think it is.
Whats the difference between the longer barrel on the panzer 4 compared to the stubby one?
The stug is actually the best tank in the game.
If you are on comms with a Gunner you know.
Ive only played the game for about less than a week now is it possible to change out the tree that you have chosen cause I know I choose something wrong at one point however I dont know how to undo it if it is possible
The only good thing about the Stug is it’s low as fuck and hard to hit. Where it could be improved is the speed of its round
Mercury- Breakthrough using attacker german panzer 38. OMFG! You can use it to snipe them from the hill and they cant touch you.
Shouldn’t the German light be the Panzer 2 or something? I mean it was an actual IFV unlike the 38T.
Gets a 3600 point stack
"yea the panzer 38T can be a bit annoying for infantry"
What's with the little pink crosshair in the middle of your screen?
I’m so sad they completely ruined the 20mm AP cannons of light tanks , I had so much fun with the Staghound annoying tigers from insane distances
Stay out in the open away from cover. ******* TNT jockeys. Unless you know your alone and even then, stop shooting, go third person and lock your gun and fire blind. that normally lures out TNT jockeys thinking you are unaware of them. Keep the corners of the tank facing target. When out of ammo don’t turn around, reverse all the way back to ammo dump and keep your gun facing ur ass. That way you have armor one way and firepower in another.
And never under any circumstance show your ass to anyone.
A tank that can’t move is dead.
And most importantly. Equip your tank and play its role. Don’t bring a tiger to an infantry battle. And don’t bring a panzer to a tank fight. Unless you have to set up right.
Tactics- aim for turret, pop tracks or smoke the engine. Don’t charge into objectives. Let men go in and take the agro and pinned the enemies.
Tank v Infantry- keep distance and use cover as long as you have support. Aim for the ground or the wall behind them. Use the blast radius to your upmost advantage, if you can’t get to them then move to a different target.
Lastly. SUPPORT YOUR INFANTRY!
You are just a artillery piece with armor. Your not invincible. Don’t play the brute I have tried and it rarely worked. It mainly ended with me have twelve tnt on ass and a lump of twisted steel.
Btw there’s a hill in devastation, It’s high enough to hide a tiger, it’s on the German side directly from spawn. Let a archer and stag role right past me and fired only three shots of AP-HE, two for the archer and one for the stag in his rear. Both dead- not boasting just giving a example. Fight smart.
My guide is play world of tanks then play this game. Bro just slope scrap behind a wall and boom. Glancing blow every shot
StayFrosty - Gaming play war thunder also helps
@@Dreinselbro. WoT focuses more on tanks not planes and ships so. More physics
@@warriorgamingeg Eh, WT has focused a whole lot on tanks, and WT's damage model is more realistic compared to WoT's.
@@warriorgamingeg the only superior thing wot has is graphics
The machine gun on the cupola is called an AA MG
So, need help: what is the best tank for allied forces and axis forces, I like to play aggressive and I like to get alot of kills, any recommendations?
@miguelzaibatsu ight thanks brotha 💪🏽
miguelzaibatsu what makes you take the panzer over the tiger? The mobility? I spend most of my time in the tiger way back picking off targets and objectives from a distance. I’m assuming panzer has a higher rate of fire?
Is there a vid for the Pacific tanks for USA and Japan?
I just took out 6 planes with the Valentine AA. Why do you think it sucks?
