Your forgetting tanks sights. The sights on the Valentine which are two intersecting lines meeting in the center are absolutely lethal and the best Tank sights in the game. I snipe people from insane distances like 2 miles constantly and I once went 62-0 on Aerodome just by sitting on the hill above the German hanger flags. Count in the Valentine comes with 32 rounds of those beauties with some good movement speed and you got the best tank in the game. Out of all my tanks Valentine gave me 3000 kills. The panzer comes in second win 2,500 kills and is a overall excellent second. The tigers great at anti tank but suffers from its acceleration and lack of ammo.
as a War Thunder player the Tiger is treated SUPER differently with it's weaponry compared to WT, in WT it's main 88mm PzGr is basically a round with insane penetration and some of that sweet sweet Nuclear explosive mass. and HEAT basically only gets used against SPAAGs
BLIN IT IS GOOD УРОД БЛЯТЬ I don't even Equip HE since people use SPAAGs in the end of the game, so I just kill them with whatever ammo I have left which I guess is overkill but whatever
For the Germans, I prefer the Panzer 4 due to it's Armor Piercing rounds and decent armor. If you aim your shots well, you can take out shermans with just two shots. The Tiger would be my second choice for it's s-mine launchers and the Puma would be my third for it's 20mm cannon, really effective against infantry.
What you should use: Infy - 38t with s mines flares This is crazy good. Especially how you can use the speed tp your advantage against infy. Panzer 4 / Tiger These tanks can be compared side by side. Panzer has more mobility but less damage. Tiger more damage and less durability. ValMkIV : Must Pick It can work in any scernaio if you know how to tank properly
Every tank is really good. It's just how you use it and how you rush the enemy. If you rush into a group of people without infantry to support you, well, your dead. I've seen really good tankers last half the round or more just by leading infantry. You also got to pick the tank that suits your play style. If you like to cap or defend objectives pick tanks such as the Tiger or Churchill and Panzer 38(T). If you like to flank behind tanks or defend other tanks staghound is pretty solid, just don't go into Infantry . If you like to keep a distance but still damage objectives the Churchill gun carrier or StuG IV. If you like a all rounder the Vallintine or Panzer IV.
I what world does the Staghound have good mobility? High top speed does not equal great mobility. I can't count the times that I got stuck with this tank or it simply refused to move any faster than a snail in off-road terrain. Combine that with any enemy shooting at you and you got the most unreliable vehicle in the game. :/
Depends on how you decide to use it, it is definitely not the most capable for off-roading but it makes up by having a very high maneuverability on somewhat flat ground. I personally have driven the staghound a lot and I have gotten stuck twice. That's also the reason it has a low versatility scope.
It's pretty safe to say that the tiger only won the community vote because it's a tiger, and not because they genuinely believe that it's the best tank in bfv
It's pretty good on Panzerstorm's open fields because of the 88mm being both hard hitting and flat shooting. But that's about it. On all other maps it's just too sluggish to get you out of trouble and you end up getting swarmed by half the enemy team.
It should be the best tank in BFV imo. Not to the point where it’s OP, but to the extent where you have a extra hand compared to the other tanks. Also how the hell does the Churchill have more armor then the Tiger?
The tiger is good at (ironically) tanking. If you have just one support player repairing the tank then it receives more health than it loses while dishing out pain left and right. If you think the tiger is bad in bf5 then you don't know how to use it
Great video. I think the reinforcement tanks could use a little help. Churchill crocodile should have the driver control the flamethrower and the gunner control the cannon. and the sturmtiger shouldn’t move up and down so much on small bumps, so pretty much just make it heavier. Also I think the stug 4 and the 37mm flack panzer should have a small buff. Other then that I think tank balance is pretty good.
The Churchill croc is hit or miss at least for me. The flamethrower obstructs vision and can be annoying when engaging another tank. Also because of the unrepairable engine bug from a while back.
Interesting fact: The Panzer 38T absolutely decimates the Staghound in a 1v1. I also think it's personally one of the best tanks with APCR rounds. You can pretty easily get the drop on most tanks and solo them especially if you take out their turret. Sadly though it loses to everything but the AA's and the Staghound if it's the one being dropped on. The Staghound a joke if it doesn't use the tubes on it's turret since APCR rounds from the 38T do around 40 damage per hit if you hit it's turret.
They should’ve added when designing the game, the panther, the comet, centurion and the Sherman firefly. I hope that these tanks are added in the 3rd bf5 update.
The panther is eastern front more and the Sherman firefly will likely be added when we go back to europe and the comet and centurion are both really late war tanks so I'm not betting on them being added soon Imagine how cool a kursk and stalingrad map would be
Karsten thank you for the input, a Kursk map? Russian bt5 because of its speed so it’s like it’s valentine, also a t34 as it would have many modifications and it would be a fair fight against the pz4, t25 as the like squad call in tank alike the sturmtiger, but one of the Russian gun carriers too like the cy 122 as well, do you agree?
The gun carrier can hit really hard. It can fire the SH-HE which reverses the damage model when hitting a tank. Basically it does more from the front and less from the back.
Great video. Just one thing. I didn't hear you mention the Tiger 1. Not only is it iconic, it has and 88 mm gun and a smaller machine gun turret for infantry combat. The campaign sort of makes it op, but in the multiplayer game it performs a lot better than most tanks. Not to be rude, but I believe that it deserves a place higher up, rather than lower down. Disregard this, actually. I don't think they were in the game yet at this point. Could you possibly make a video that updates the list for best tank? Thanks!
Just wondering: Why does DICE make a difference between factions when choosing tanks, but not when choosing any other firearm? ;-) I can run around as G.I. with an STG44, but not drive a Tiger?
My favorite is Churchill with howitzer and snake launcher, especially in small maps. It just shred infantry and also not bad against vehicle. In fact you can hit tank behind cover with the howitzer and the shell has less chances to bounce off. All you need is to get familar to the shell drop.
I like how in his intro he only shows footage of tanks NOT doing their job right (except that one german tank who shot in WWII a bomber out of the air)
I know that it was about the best tanks, but I have to mention one very important thing. No matter how good or bad a tank it is, a lot depends on the driver. In reality the tiger 1 wasn't the best tank in WWII, but the well trained and experienced crew made it so versatile, that american tankers tried to avoid german divisions where a tiger could be found (most of the times these tigers were destroyed by air support). And the same applies here too. Using not the best tank doesn't mean that a good player can't be MVP. Around 75% (or close to that) depends on the driver (and his play style). The rest depemds on the tank and the teammates.
I’m by no means great at this game when it comes to tanks but I make it a point to be decent with all of them so I use all the tanks and tbh it’s really fun to see what kind of situations you can get into and out alive with some of these beasts lmfao loved the video too
Personally I have best results with the Panzer 38T and Valentine. Personal favourite is the 38T has enough rounds and can get out of trouble as quick as it got into it. Quick firing and the option of armour piercing rounds. Battlefield 1, Renault FT-17 was the one for me.
I had once a 40 kills streak using the StuG on twisted steel on the bridge (not counting remote and Standart MG kills by the amazing gunners) with some infantry support the StuG is a monster
I like the Churchill gun carrier. Especially on Rotterdam and Twisted Steel if you don’t get too close. I feel like a dirty artillery truck from BF1 in it but I move up to support The blueberries. And I think it can give the Axis a run for their money.
Fool the mortar head round combo is godly against tanks, once you get used to the arc your solid doin 40+ damage per shot to the front armor of a tiger
i just want to point out the seat 2 machine gun on the stug is fucking amazing, i'd honestly argue the stug has the best anti-infantry capability of any tank this gun does loads of damage, pretty damn accurate, and most of all it somehow doesn't expose the user. all while it has zero aim slowdown. when using the stug, i like to just switch over to that seat if i need to kill any infantry, as people don't actually enter my tanks much
You are correct that the StuG is pretty good with infantry if you have a dedicated gunner. But it is still not as good as... Let's say its equivalent like the Panzer IV.. if you are alone.
I'd argue that unless you're up against both infantry and armor at the same time, a secondary gunner isn't necessary. Usually when I use the STuG I like to just switch between seats and handle the infantry, before switching back to the primary seat. Admittedly this does present an opportunity for tank stealers on your team, but if you're busy killing enemy infantry any teammates wouldn't want to get caught in the crossfire.
Staghound with the additional rockets is by far THE BEST vehicle in the game if you understand how to use it and dont overexpose yourself. Yes, a tiger can take you out in 2 shots but a Tiger with T-HEAT rounds will take out most tanks in two well placed shots. Anyway, you can take out a Tiger before its even had time to react, regardless of how skilled the driver is. The continuous smoke is a tremendous tool for both defensive and offensive team support maneuvers, not just covering yourself. Its light armour isnt a problem as long as youre aware of your surroundings and dont put yourself in bad positions and most importantly - ITS FAST AS F*CK BOYYYY! Any time i get this tank its an easy 40+ kill round for me.
The Tiger needs a nerf tbh. It shouldn't automatically be the best tank. Also the auto cannon varieties need to damage tanks again and never should have been changed, if the piss baby BOYS AT Rifle can damage tanks the auto cannon should do at least 1 damage every 3 shots, also the armor piercing rounds are absolutely useless on auto cannons and need to be buffed to 1to2 damage a hit as long as it isn't glancing.
I do think it would be nice to have the auto cannons do damage to tanks. And the tiger actually ranked much lower for me. It is not ranked first. It was first for the community choice only.
If your a hill camper the Tiger is ridiculous, especially if your the kind of low skill player that camps inside or right on the border of your spawn zone restrictions on maps like Hamada on Grand Operations.
While I don't think you gave the short barrel Panzer 4 with flares and case rounds the credit it deserves as possibly the best anti infantry setup in the game (especially with a good squad to take advantage of the squad-only flare spot), I'm glad you pointed out how deadly the Crocodile is. It breaks my heart every time I see squads waste their points on arty strikes (outside linear modes like breakthrough and frontlines) and V1s when a mere 20k points gives you this absolute beast. it is slower than the Churchill and sometimes the trailer bugs out but it can withstand an insane amount of damage and can defeat anything short of a pro sturmtiger 1v1. It also has an even better version of the Churchill's already excellent gun that can snipe infantry all day (although we still suffer from the bug where the ads gun site doesn't appear half the damn time!)
As for the sturmtiger I'd say it comes down to your squad. It has the best flares in the game, launching 2 on either side of the vehicle. if you aren't using these constantly you're doing it wrong. these flares almost entirely make up for the lack of turret, as they allow you to line up shots on targets before they even enter line of sight. It also has 2 forward facing MGs which on more linear modes can allow for total carnage if your gunners are half decent. last of all it has a rather strange 360 degree 1-hit-kill grenade launcher. I would suggest setting a button in your control setup to immediately switch from the driver seat to this weapon, as it can save you from flanks quite a lot of the time. Still, for me, wrecking enemy tanks at long range with this thing is the single most satisfying thing in the game.
Yea that's the peak potential of a vehicle. It is most often not capable of achieving that so that's how the tank is ranked. Mostly without a dedicated squad to man the tank. But I agree with you, if it is used to its highest potential, it can be quite deadly
What annoys me is that they nerfed the british coax MGs down to the level of the German MGs, rather than buff the german MGs up to the level of the british MGs (this happened a while back). And they wonder why tankers can't play aggressively in BFV. I'd be happy with coax MGs overheating really quickly and having severe damage drop off to prevent hill camping, if they fired faster up close and could shred infantry in close range. as it stands they just can't kill peek-a-boo assaults fast enough to allow for aggressive tank play. sitting at mid-long range is still the best option even with flares and s-mines equipped.
There are a few not quite quantitative features of tanks that boost/impede their capabilities. For example, Valentine Archer's shells have VERY LARGE hitboxes and can cause difficulty in landing precision shots. Valentine tanks take unreasonably large amounts of damage from direct hits to their tracks in the front and back, I suspect there could be bugs causing damage being calculated multiple times (I once hit a Valentine for 98 with a single HEAT round). The regular Valentine has some cheeky armor angles to avoid this disadvantage but the Archer can't even effectively angle its hull. Also, in reality, a tank's different strengths should have different weights and more factors can be considered. Armor, for example, directly impacts anti-tank and anti-infantry abilities and should be weighted higher - anti-infantry operation is hard to achieve if said infantry each pulls out a PIAT and collaboratively kill you with 3 shots in 1 second (yes I'm talking about the Stag and T38). Mobility is crucial for a tank's basic survival and effectiveness, but its impact dwindles as it gets higher, and becomes more significant at the lower end. Anti-air is also a category that shouldn't really impact a tank's rating unless it is their designated function.
Yea I totally agree with having a weighted scoring system. But then it will become another problem to see how much each is weighed. In the end, just supposed to be an entertainment and not the most scientific ranking. And straight up ranking is actually impossible as they all perform differently depending on how it is used and on what map. And I do believe the 98 is either a bug or you were looking at the score instead of the actual damage.
It's so much fun to use, never staying in one spot for to long and use it like motorised infantry (staying near cover and stay the hell away from other tanks), makes it a real force multiplier. Best hit and run vehicle in the game.
Valentine Mk VIII and the Panzer IV are definitely very close. And yea the call ins can always be taken out if you don't think they belong haha. Just like to put them in there for the sake of having them.
Good video I'd only really argue against the Stag/38t on mobility as the tracks make all the difference. They're pretty much on par and awesome without the autocannon (after the nerf) and A/T rounds. Also after adding the puma, the Panzer 4 fits in some weird spot between the former and the Tiger 1. I think it's much better suited to close infantry support with the stubby 75mm and flare launcher + case rounds and therefore I'd arguably put it lower than both the stag and 38t since mobility this late in the games lifecycle is paramount especially with the veteran flyboys looming haha
Equipe every tank (Even the staghound and Panzer 38T with APC shells, and with a little bit of smart play you will be a tank killer. (38T and Staghound are my favourite and most used tanks)
The guys who voted the tiger as the best tank must be the ones using a long range tank killer on rotterdam against infantry For me the 38T is the unbeatable no.1 if you have atleast 2 assaults in your squad. You can drop flares, kill infantry at any range, you have s-mines. The staghound is also really good. For any reason its anti tank loadout is pretty weak, but the anti-infantry loadout is still solid plus it can be a mobile supply crate due to its specialisation. But both tanks require good teamplay, in most situations P IV or valentine MK 8 are the best choices
This is without a doubt the best tank ranking video I’ve seen

which I guess is overkill but whatever

Just drive it backwards then lol
Love how the round goes past a targeted plane which glitches into a fireball some frames later.
They need to add the king tiger (tiger 2)
KV-2
yes ur correct, they need to add a kv2...or even better a katyusha
they need to add a T95 Doom Turtle
Did somebody say tiger king? (Desire to do meth intensifies)
Well Tbag should have done it sooner
You snooze you lose
Lol i was supposed to make this 2 months ago, just got delayed because of reasons.. 😅
"Every vehicle" yet doesn't talk about the Reinforcement pak wagons
halftrack aint tanks
The Tigers legendary status places it in the number one position!
Irl, the tiger and just the German tanks in general are far superior to British tanks.
Fatty Pigeon true they were ahead of their time. That’s not what you see in BFV sadly.
meh
Is it just me or does the Churchills turret look way too small for its chassis.
Well that's the actual tank
can't wait for DICE to add eastern legends like the IS-2 or t-34 / most variants
btw BT-7 will beat every tracked vehicle in mobility
BLIN IT IS GOOD УРОД БЛЯТЬ
if it's tracked get destroyed it has a wheeled drive system
Imagine they add the tiger 2
P1000 or maus
Maus would be awesome
Maybe in Eastern front
@@FuturPaladin489 Neither of those were made.
@@johnmarston7606 thats my point the tiger 2 are rare sights on the battlefield so have a game with a bunch of em is stupid
Agree with your rankings. The valentine is my favorite think I got almost 1k kills with it!
Nice!! Love the Valentine
Moose Ski
that must have been a long game if you almost got 1.000 kills
Ya know the archers gun is facing backward irl, so it should only go 4kmh in the way the gun is facing
For the Germans, I prefer the Panzer 4 due to it's Armor Piercing rounds and decent armor. If you aim your shots well, you can take out shermans with just two shots. The Tiger would be my second choice for it's s-mine launchers and the Puma would be my third for it's 20mm cannon, really effective against infantry.
What you should use:
Infy - 38t with s mines flares
This is crazy good. Especially how you can use the speed tp your advantage against infy.
Panzer 4 / Tiger
These tanks can be compared side by side. Panzer has more mobility but less damage. Tiger more damage and less durability.
ValMkIV :
Must Pick
It can work in any scernaio if you know how to tank properly
Yea the 38t can be used quite aggressively.
This list turned out pretty much exactly how I expected. Valentine mk. 8 is amazing. Great video
Great video Az!
Good ranking.
Every tank is really good. It's just how you use it and how you rush the enemy. If you rush into a group of people without infantry to support you, well, your dead. I've seen really good tankers last half the round or more just by leading infantry. You also got to pick the tank that suits your play style. If you like to cap or defend objectives pick tanks such as the Tiger or Churchill and Panzer 38(T). If you like to flank behind tanks or defend other tanks staghound is pretty solid, just don't go into Infantry . If you like to keep a distance but still damage objectives the Churchill gun carrier or StuG IV. If you like a all rounder the Vallintine or Panzer IV.
I what world does the Staghound have good mobility? High top speed does not equal great mobility.
I can't count the times that I got stuck with this tank or it simply refused to move any faster than a snail in off-road terrain. Combine that with any enemy shooting at you and you got the most unreliable vehicle in the game. :/
Depends on how you decide to use it, it is definitely not the most capable for off-roading but it makes up by having a very high maneuverability on somewhat flat ground. I personally have driven the staghound a lot and I have gotten stuck twice. That's also the reason it has a low versatility scope.
It's hella fun to use tho
And lets not forget the wheels make it bouncy as hell so good luck trying to shoot anything while moving
Best bfv channel
What about battlefield Palestine?
@@flyingpigsco6113 It would be good if there was such a state.

Great vid bro
It's pretty safe to say that the tiger only won the community vote because it's a tiger, and not because they genuinely believe that it's the best tank in bfv
I agree with you, it is not the best tank, but the Tiger is very beautiful and iconic, that's why I love it
It's pretty good on Panzerstorm's open fields because of the 88mm being both hard hitting and flat shooting. But that's about it. On all other maps it's just too sluggish to get you out of trouble and you end up getting swarmed by half the enemy team.
I get the most kills by far with the panzer using mines and flares. I troll so hard with it lol. And it actually helps the team..
It should be the best tank in BFV imo. Not to the point where it’s OP, but to the extent where you have a extra hand compared to the other tanks.
Also how the hell does the Churchill have more armor then the Tiger?
The tiger is good at (ironically) tanking. If you have just one support player repairing the tank then it receives more health than it loses while dishing out pain left and right. If you think the tiger is bad in bf5 then you don't know how to use it
Great bf5 vid!
Im a bf5 fan and player !
Keep it up!
I hit the sub button 👍👌🤝
Believe it or not I was using a staghound and clapped a tiger upclose by disabling the turret and doing circles around it while spraying at it
I think the Flakpanzer's flaming rounds are way better against infantry than the Valentine AA's case rounds. That's just my opinion tho.
The gun carrier has a 3 inch (76mm) gun which was made famous by the Sherman firefly (a Sherman with a new gun installed in place of the 75mm m3)
During the release, those Ligjt Tanks were God Tier.
Personally I love using the heavy tanks, I destroy almost all my targets with the exception of planes because I can't lead something that fast
Great video. I think the reinforcement tanks could use a little help. Churchill crocodile should have the driver control the flamethrower and the gunner control the cannon. and the sturmtiger shouldn’t move up and down so much on small bumps, so pretty much just make it heavier. Also I think the stug 4 and the 37mm flack panzer should have a small buff. Other then that I think tank balance is pretty good.
This video deserves more likes
They forgot the Sherman
Love the Last Tiger skin
7:32 its a 3 inch not 3 pdr. The 3 inch is closer to the 17pdr HVAT
I think it started of as a 3inch naval gun
@@kierenboimufc5940 ye makes sense. Doesn't look like a purposefully designed AT gun
@@mwrightinnit also coming from before ww1
The Churchill croc is hit or miss at least for me. The flamethrower obstructs vision and can be annoying when engaging another tank. Also because of the unrepairable engine bug from a while back.
0:20 AA Tiger I just casually walking by
Interesting fact: The Panzer 38T absolutely decimates the Staghound in a 1v1.
I also think it's personally one of the best tanks with APCR rounds. You can pretty easily get the drop on most tanks and solo them especially if you take out their turret. Sadly though it loses to everything but the AA's and the Staghound if it's the one being dropped on. The Staghound a joke if it doesn't use the tubes on it's turret since APCR rounds from the 38T do around 40 damage per hit if you hit it's turret.
They should’ve added when designing the game, the panther, the comet, centurion and the Sherman firefly. I hope that these tanks are added in the 3rd bf5 update.
The panther is eastern front more and the Sherman firefly will likely be added when we go back to europe and the comet and centurion are both really late war tanks so I'm not betting on them being added soon
Imagine how cool a kursk and stalingrad map would be
Karsten thank you for the input, a Kursk map? Russian bt5 because of its speed so it’s like it’s valentine, also a t34 as it would have many modifications and it would be a fair fight against the pz4, t25 as the like squad call in tank alike the sturmtiger, but one of the Russian gun carriers too like the cy 122 as well, do you agree?

The archer is actually driving constantly in the wrong direction Google it if you don't belief it (or watch a war thunder archer game play)
Yea it is just how it is in the game
The gun carrier can hit really hard. It can fire the SH-HE which reverses the damage model when hitting a tank. Basically it does more from the front and less from the back.
Great video. Just one thing. I didn't hear you mention the Tiger 1. Not only is it iconic, it has and 88 mm gun and a smaller machine gun turret for infantry combat. The campaign sort of makes it op, but in the multiplayer game it performs a lot better than most tanks. Not to be rude, but I believe that it deserves a place higher up, rather than lower down. Disregard this, actually. I don't think they were in the game yet at this point. Could you possibly make a video that updates the list for best tank? Thanks!
Just wondering: Why does DICE make a difference between factions when choosing tanks, but not when choosing any other firearm? ;-)
I can run around as G.I. with an STG44, but not drive a Tiger?
i wish you can swap teams
My favorite is Churchill with howitzer and snake launcher, especially in small maps. It just shred infantry and also not bad against vehicle. In fact you can hit tank behind cover with the howitzer and the shell has less chances to bounce off. All you need is to get familar to the shell drop.
Definitely a great tank against infantry, especially on modes where people bunch up and so on
I like how in his intro he only shows footage of tanks NOT doing their job right (except that one german tank who shot in WWII a bomber out of the air)
I know that it was about the best tanks, but I have to mention one very important thing. No matter how good or bad a tank it is, a lot depends on the driver.
In reality the tiger 1 wasn't the best tank in WWII, but the well trained and experienced crew made it so versatile, that american tankers tried to avoid german divisions where a tiger could be found (most of the times these tigers were destroyed by air support).
And the same applies here too.
Using not the best tank doesn't mean that a good player can't be MVP. Around 75% (or close to that) depends on the driver (and his play style). The rest depemds on the tank and the teammates.
Finally I found a BFV I only see BF1
You sound like your mouth is drunk but your mind is sober😆. Love the content brother.
I’m by no means great at this game when it comes to tanks but I make it a point to be decent with all of them so I use all the tanks and tbh it’s really fun to see what kind of situations you can get into and out alive with some of these beasts lmfao loved the video too
Personally I have best results with the
Panzer 38T and Valentine.
Personal favourite is the 38T has enough rounds and can get out of trouble as quick as it got into it. Quick firing and the option of armour piercing rounds.
Battlefield 1, Renault FT-17 was the one for me.
I agree those are some of the best now
I had once a 40 kills streak using the StuG on twisted steel on the bridge (not counting remote and Standart MG kills by the amazing gunners) with some infantry support the StuG is a monster
I like the Churchill gun carrier. Especially on Rotterdam and Twisted Steel if you don’t get too close. I feel like a dirty artillery truck from BF1 in it but I move up to support The blueberries. And I think it can give the Axis a run for their money.
Azura : *Reviewing tanks
Me : Saw stupid blind enemy and funny teammates die burned
Fool the mortar head round combo is godly against tanks, once you get used to the arc your solid doin 40+ damage per shot to the front armor of a tiger
Staghound T14E1:Yo,your rank is much lower than mine.
Sturmtiger:hum?why won't you try to take a hit from my 380mm cannon?
i just want to point out the seat 2 machine gun on the stug is fucking amazing, i'd honestly argue the stug has the best anti-infantry capability of any tank
this gun does loads of damage, pretty damn accurate, and most of all it somehow doesn't expose the user.
all while it has zero aim slowdown.
when using the stug, i like to just switch over to that seat if i need to kill any infantry, as people don't actually enter my tanks much
You are correct that the StuG is pretty good with infantry if you have a dedicated gunner. But it is still not as good as... Let's say its equivalent like the Panzer IV.. if you are alone.
I'd argue that unless you're up against both infantry and armor at the same time, a secondary gunner isn't necessary.
Usually when I use the STuG I like to just switch between seats and handle the infantry, before switching back to the primary seat. Admittedly this does present an opportunity for tank stealers on your team, but if you're busy killing enemy infantry any teammates wouldn't want to get caught in the crossfire.
Staghound with the additional rockets is by far THE BEST vehicle in the game if you understand how to use it and dont overexpose yourself. Yes, a tiger can take you out in 2 shots but a Tiger with T-HEAT rounds will take out most tanks in two well placed shots. Anyway, you can take out a Tiger before its even had time to react, regardless of how skilled the driver is. The continuous smoke is a tremendous tool for both defensive and offensive team support maneuvers, not just covering yourself. Its light armour isnt a problem as long as youre aware of your surroundings and dont put yourself in bad positions and most importantly - ITS FAST AS F*CK BOYYYY! Any time i get this tank its an easy 40+ kill round for me.
Staghound for me... one of the most versatile vehicles when utilized properly.
The Tiger needs a nerf tbh.
It shouldn't automatically be the best tank.
Also the auto cannon varieties need to damage tanks again and never should have been changed, if the piss baby BOYS AT Rifle can damage tanks the auto cannon should do at least 1 damage every 3 shots, also the armor piercing rounds are absolutely useless on auto cannons and need to be buffed to 1to2 damage a hit as long as it isn't glancing.
I do think it would be nice to have the auto cannons do damage to tanks. And the tiger actually ranked much lower for me. It is not ranked first. It was first for the community choice only.
If your a hill camper the Tiger is ridiculous, especially if your the kind of low skill player that camps inside or right on the border of your spawn zone restrictions on maps like Hamada on Grand Operations.
*bruh did you literally just use the 6 inch gun carrier as the worst tank while in real life it was an actually bunker and had big tea power*
Accurate ranking, and it was a pretty scientific method
While I don't think you gave the short barrel Panzer 4 with flares and case rounds the credit it deserves as possibly the best anti infantry setup in the game (especially with a good squad to take advantage of the squad-only flare spot), I'm glad you pointed out how deadly the Crocodile is. It breaks my heart every time I see squads waste their points on arty strikes (outside linear modes like breakthrough and frontlines) and V1s when a mere 20k points gives you this absolute beast. it is slower than the Churchill and sometimes the trailer bugs out but it can withstand an insane amount of damage and can defeat anything short of a pro sturmtiger 1v1. It also has an even better version of the Churchill's already excellent gun that can snipe infantry all day (although we still suffer from the bug where the ads gun site doesn't appear half the damn time!)
Right the panzer IV with case rounds is pretty damn good. I actually use it quite a bit
As for the sturmtiger I'd say it comes down to your squad. It has the best flares in the game, launching 2 on either side of the vehicle. if you aren't using these constantly you're doing it wrong. these flares almost entirely make up for the lack of turret, as they allow you to line up shots on targets before they even enter line of sight. It also has 2 forward facing MGs which on more linear modes can allow for total carnage if your gunners are half decent. last of all it has a rather strange 360 degree 1-hit-kill grenade launcher. I would suggest setting a button in your control setup to immediately switch from the driver seat to this weapon, as it can save you from flanks quite a lot of the time. Still, for me, wrecking enemy tanks at long range with this thing is the single most satisfying thing in the game.
Yea that's the peak potential of a vehicle. It is most often not capable of achieving that so that's how the tank is ranked. Mostly without a dedicated squad to man the tank. But I agree with you, if it is used to its highest potential, it can be quite deadly
What annoys me is that they nerfed the british coax MGs down to the level of the German MGs, rather than buff the german MGs up to the level of the british MGs (this happened a while back). And they wonder why tankers can't play aggressively in BFV. I'd be happy with coax MGs overheating really quickly and having severe damage drop off to prevent hill camping, if they fired faster up close and could shred infantry in close range. as it stands they just can't kill peek-a-boo assaults fast enough to allow for aggressive tank play. sitting at mid-long range is still the best option even with flares and s-mines equipped.
There are a few not quite quantitative features of tanks that boost/impede their capabilities.
For example, Valentine Archer's shells have VERY LARGE hitboxes and can cause difficulty in landing precision shots.
Valentine tanks take unreasonably large amounts of damage from direct hits to their tracks in the front and back, I suspect there could be bugs causing damage being calculated multiple times (I once hit a Valentine for 98 with a single HEAT round). The regular Valentine has some cheeky armor angles to avoid this disadvantage but the Archer can't even effectively angle its hull.
Also, in reality, a tank's different strengths should have different weights and more factors can be considered. Armor, for example, directly impacts anti-tank and anti-infantry abilities and should be weighted higher - anti-infantry operation is hard to achieve if said infantry each pulls out a PIAT and collaboratively kill you with 3 shots in 1 second (yes I'm talking about the Stag and T38). Mobility is crucial for a tank's basic survival and effectiveness, but its impact dwindles as it gets higher, and becomes more significant at the lower end. Anti-air is also a category that shouldn't really impact a tank's rating unless it is their designated function.
Yea I totally agree with having a weighted scoring system. But then it will become another problem to see how much each is weighed. In the end, just supposed to be an entertainment and not the most scientific ranking. And straight up ranking is actually impossible as they all perform differently depending on how it is used and on what map. And I do believe the 98 is either a bug or you were looking at the score instead of the actual damage.
Panzer 38 is definitely the most underrated tank in BFV
Tiger I is the most overrated tank in the game
It's so much fun to use, never staying in one spot for to long and use it like motorised infantry (staying near cover and stay the hell away from other tanks), makes it a real force multiplier. Best hit and run vehicle in the game.
As much as people dissed BFV. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Too bad it didn't continue to get the love it needed. The fortification system was amazing!
The armor piercing rounds on the panzer 4 allow you to two shot any tank in the game.
Pretty fair. I would put Val+PzIV tied at top. And call-ins don't really belong in a line up, I think. Excellent video and assessment!!
Valentine Mk VIII and the Panzer IV are definitely very close. And yea the call ins can always be taken out if you don't think they belong haha. Just like to put them in there for the sake of having them.
*sees thumbnail*
OOOOH YEAH THE 88MM BEAST LET'S GO BOIIIIIIII
Good video
I'd only really argue against the Stag/38t on mobility as the tracks make all the difference. They're pretty much on par and awesome without the autocannon (after the nerf) and A/T rounds.
Also after adding the puma, the Panzer 4 fits in some weird spot between the former and the Tiger 1. I think it's much better suited to close infantry support with the stubby 75mm and flare launcher + case rounds and therefore I'd arguably put it lower than both the stag and 38t since mobility this late in the games lifecycle is paramount especially with the veteran flyboys looming haha
My favourite is the sturmtiger. Such pure firepower!
I've been really into your videos lately, do you pay people to wander aimlessly into your crosshairs? Are you a BF og?
I pay them, about to be broke so next videos may not be that good
@@AzuraProductions Keep up the good work, you're very informative and keep everything you talk about focused and organized
Equipe every tank (Even the staghound and Panzer 38T with APC shells, and with a little bit of smart play you will be a tank killer. (38T and Staghound are my favourite and most used tanks)
If it not was for infantry running around, at first glance watching these tanks go and shoot resembles for me world of tanks 😄
I agree with the community ranking except the sturmtiger. Other than that I 100% agree
Nice aim and takedowns on those planes. You are a great shot
The guys who voted the tiger as the best tank must be the ones using a long range tank killer on rotterdam against infantry
For me the 38T is the unbeatable no.1 if you have atleast 2 assaults in your squad.
You can drop flares, kill infantry at any range, you have s-mines.
The staghound is also really good. For any reason its anti tank loadout is pretty weak, but the anti-infantry loadout is still solid plus it can be a mobile supply crate due to its specialisation. But both tanks require good teamplay, in most situations P IV or valentine MK 8 are the best choices
