The Tank Hunter is my favorite. Spawnsniping tanks on Soissons is unfair but a blast. Also it absolutely destroys enemy armor with the gunner seats manned. But I feel like a camper when using it.
I think it's because people rarely ever get into the secondary positions on pretty much any of the vehicles in the game which in most cases means that the landship isn't going to be able to do much, especially if another tank appears. Which really sucks because I have to agree, the landship is my favorite tank in BF1, it's even my most used vehicle, but since it's based around teamplay and hardly anybody does that with the vehicles, it's hard to really get the most out of it.
i love the landship as well. but the teamplay thing really is a weakpoint if youre playing with randoms. the tankhunter landship can be so powerful if you have all positions manned and infantry support. the best thing is having people staying by your side repairing. it can really make a difference, even fore the whole team, if the tank driver is capable. but people rarely do care about tanks at all if theyre not driving them themselves.
4 years old but I was number one in the world for about 3-4 months, during the early days of the game. This was pre buff. Then they buffed it and the squad support variant was unreal before they nerfed it again. That on Kaisers battle, especially Amien shredded. You could drop ammo and health with it, there was zero excuse for you not to be top player or within top 3. Long time since I played anything, years since I played this game. But it was so much fun.
Minor tip, infantry can easily climb and even sit/lay down on the Landship. A support player with a repair tool can hide just behind the little squares on the top and endlessly repair while being MOSTLY protected from enemy fire.
make a L-class destroyer guide becouse apperantly almost everytime the driver will park the destroyer in the enemy boat spawn and it will die instantly to the coastal gun.
My favorite Tank! I love the squad support it's so good i just wish there was 5 more shots on the auto cannon and more damage to infantry just a bit to save some of that ammo
Putting the outtake in was well worth it, I just love how you analyse the tank variants, showing all the possible situations they are helpful for and also sharing your personal experience with it,es ist eine großes video und du bist der beste :). My German is not that good since I shifted to Australia when I was young and I can't speak it that well now.
I actually did really well with mortar landship, I sat at the back of the map on sassions in frontlines and shelled the same trench over and over. I finished 97-0 and felt really guilty about being a awful team player so i have never used it since.
The Squad support Landship is the best for offense on Operations. Gives tons of points. Always new people spawning in. But you gotta be ready to the center of attentions from both sides. You gotta know when to push and when to rep.
Matteo Kropej If you're referring to the camo, mostly seen in this Video, it's actually a distinguished skin. My fav gotta be the super rare two tone gold camo, it looks actually pretty sweet on this tank :D
I always liked the troop support variant, I felt the 20mm gun let me fight even without gunners and I could pick people up from checkpoints before heading onward.
As a dude who plays support this is true. Tank hunter landships are fuckin terrifying to face head on. And with a coordinated crew and a support who can constantly patch it. Its very hard to dislodge
I've been waiting for this video. The landship was the most frustrating (for me) to figure out what I liked. I played with all 3 variants & I liked the 2 you suggested but the support tank fits my playstyle a little better because I can be both aggressive & support a squad. It's basicly my alternative to the light tank
Great video as always, thank you for making them. Honestly the only time I use the Mortar landship is on Volga. It's good there because you are likely going to be facing multiple tank hunter landships and I've pretty much given up on having good gunners, so I usually get shredded. The raised middle point does a pretty good job of separating the maps and letting you find cover pretty much anywhere, and you can use your big mortar to pound on enemy tanks that are out of line of sight or on the middle point which is usually pretty hot.
I actually do use the mortar landslip quite often. Personally its true there is a fine balance, But what i use my mortar for is for concentrated infantry locations. Also its great for taking out personal motors. Most of the time i won't hide my location but i will distance myself medium distance away so it gives my gunners on the side the opportunity to get some kills. Basically you need to balance the risk. Being too cautious means your gunners will get nothing. And then being too aggressive means i will get swamped. Also the additional seating is very much like the support tank in having 5 seats and its good to use as a mobile spawning point for team members or well anyone on your side. Also the mortar i have found is great for taking out the armoured trains while yes also having to predict a little where it will go. Also the fortress guns can be taken out effectively with the mortar.
As somebody who spends a lot of time with the HE mortar on support, I can say the Mortar Landship is my bane. A skilled driver can very quickly counter my mortar attack, and either kill me or prevent me from disabling their tank. The 15 second cooldown on the mortar means it's always ready for countering pesky mortar players, meaning a coordinated mortar strike is required for that tactic to work. The other landships are easy pickings by comparison. I don't know if that makes up for the mortar landships other issues however.
I prefer the squad support landship mainly because it's extremely effective against infantry (if used correctly) and if the driver is good enough and let's the gunners get a good line of site on an enemy vehicle, the enemy will go down faster then when I fall over, it's also has a backwards mounted machine gun (and I think it uses the same stats as the Bennett mercy lmg) this gun becomes handy if a support player or assault player thinks that going behind the tank will help them. Also if the driver is good enough he/she will get the gunners into a good position while self repairing, this helps the tank stay alive longer and encourages the gunners to stay in the seat (this is what I do and I end up surviving the entire round with around 30 - 40 kills while my gunners will sometimes have more kills then me). In my opinion this variant of tank is most useful for breaking through a stale mate and/or clearing objectives on operations/Conquest. Sorry for the long ass paragraph
Imo squad support is best middle ground because it’s AT capability is better than the mortar landship and it’s anti infantry capability is better than the tank hunter landship and the mortar landship
Kevin sSOLOo Beasley but All tanks that try to find a middleground end up beeing bad at both. Mortar only is the worst imo because you'll never get a Crew to stay in it x-]
This is a good video that really does a good job of explaining the pros and cons of each tank. Based on my experience, I really hated using the mortar one as well. Really hard and not fun to use.
The Tank hunter landship is my fav and the best one for me. I position the tank in a elevated area to the back which can allow me to use my anti-tank rifle to shoot from a far cuz it's actually pretty accurate and allowing my two Gunners to be able to rain down their shots from above giving them extra range
soo for every playstyle: frontline- squad support variant second line- mortar variant (best use as artillery vehicle if possible or a defence vehicle) close to second line- anti tank variant (can be the mortar variant as well)
I think you truly earned that reward you showed us on the light tank vid. You really cannot find this anywhere else. as well i just want to cast my vote on the sopwith camel and perhaps suggest a vid on the medic clas gadgets. which is better, first aid kit or crate
The landship is by far my favorite tank. I love the squad support to pieces, and the tank hunter too for when enemy armor is troubling me. I think the 20mm is the best forward cannon, able to hit around corners, dealing overall good splash damage. This allows the most important aspect, in my opinion, which is hitting people inside buildings. A spotting flare or a barrel poking out the window can tell you exactly where to shoot, either a window frame or the inside ceiling. And if you don't have information, the cannon can simply drop roofs on them, showering debris. Either way, it's amazing for taking out the assaults that will be propping up their rocket guns or lobbing nades at you, maybe even the limpet crazy supports
The mortar landship is quite good in certain situations. In Operations, it can clear out trenches, or those pesky HE support mortars. I usually don't engage directly with enemy armor, but it's great for taking out far-away arty trucks or helping other tanks win battles/push objectives. Example: Attacking on the Battle of Marne, the mortar landship can essentially "snipe" out the field guns and HE support mortars with it's 200m range. The other 5 tanks won't have to worry about getting shredded by 77mm artillery shells or supports chucking HE mortars from behind a hill.
In my opinion the Tank Hunter is the best Landship to play alone. The Tank-Gewehr is pretty much a one-hit kill on infantry and it has a short reload time so it will do in a pinch. It also allows the driver to do what a tank is meant to do, destroy vehicles, without having to switch between different seats. Adding two other crew members makes it a hell of a tank to fight against and a good counter for the armored train
my favourite one is the squad support land ship because it has a autocannon as driver gun and a rear facing mg for infantry at the back and the auto cannon has anti infantry capability as well as some anti armour along with two big guns and more mgs
I'm impressed you recommended something other than the mortar landship. Seems like most people playing choose that, even though it's by far the worst and doesn't help the team at all. Personally, I feel the squad support variant is the best, but the tank hunter is good, too.
I mostly pick the mortar landship. Not for the mortar, just for the fast firing machine gun. I hate being in a landship that was sitting out of line of sight just shooting mortars and the funny thing is i see them get wrecked when the enemy does push up because their side gunners got fed up with sitting there and not doing anything XD
My preferred version of The Mark 5 landship is the squad support since it can drop supply packs while the 20mm cannon is the drivers main weapon for anti-infantry
The mark 1 could be pierced by a multitude of machine guns if you shot at the weak points and the welds which were found out when these were captured or knocked out
The Tankgewehr variant is definitely my favorite. Maximum damage on impact to any infantry, high damage to all vehicles and no drop or velocity reduction from high range. Much more versatile than other variants and plus allows the tanker to contribute inside the match itself.
I personally prefer the squad variant since the auto cannon can take out tanks if you take on a heavy tank you can ram the side and have the cannons attack it
IMHO for solos the Tank hunter and Mortar variant are perfect, but for most cases the landship is VERY situational, so most ppl didn't even bother picking Landship when they can have a A7V or St Chammond. the driver's lack of access to the main guns would be the main issue...
Personally I prefer tank hunter, the fact you can shoot behind you prevents flanking by cavalry, and the cannons have increased range and damage ASWELL which I find good, and if you’re in a bad situation you can deploy chlorine gas or use emergency repair kit, best imo
been using the beutepanzer tankhunter since launch, cant tell you how many servers ive dominated with that thing, and the black bess skin is just a cherry on top
Tank hunter landship is best. Me and my friend won against an armored train with one by peeking over a dune and raining hell, then moving a little after counting the train mortar's reload. We targeted turrets first of course. But yeah, give that a try on Sinai Desert. It's insanely good.
Quick note: it is very easy for a support with a wrench to climb on top and wreck havoc on the tank. If this happens to you, DO NOT PANIC. Instead, back up and you’ll roadkill them. Exiting the tank will likely result in it being stolen
I prefer the squad support, its not totally useless if your by yourself and with people on the side cannons its almost unstoppable, and it helps your team.
Was on a nostalgia trip recently. I was 26 when this game came out. I was number 1 in the world for the landship (kills) I'd say for maybe 6 months. That's really cause no one else used it, then it got the buff and over time people surpassed me. But the buff they gave it back in the day, especially with the squad support valiant, good times. That was an absolute monster on the Amiens operations and the map right before it. It would tear through the enemy
I love using the squad support landship in russian dlc maps. The tankhunter landship usually been used when teammates couldnt take out enemys vehicles. The mortar landship is TOXIC.
I din'd say that i can kill it, but i can fight it, from distance, give a Great amont of demage to it, helping a lot the tean, since the char 2c is very slow, you can kite it, helping assalt players,
Yeah, you are right too, usualy, i need tô pick 2 landships tô really dealt demage, becuse even If i im Good at the landship, 1 shot, and in disabled,sure that the Quick repair will help on this, Just to go for cover and repair, but its really hard when a decent player takes control of the main gun
The support landship is the one for me. I like to push forward so I find it easier to use and to support my team mates. I hated the tank hunter but I see now that I've been playing it the wrong way so it's back to the drawing board lol 😂
As long as you can coordinate with your gunners over voice chat, you basically have two Haevy Breakthrough tanks plus a tankhunter elite working together. Crazy good against other vehicles. But I still think it's quite well balanced because it has limited ability to fight infantry at close range.
I love the landship best squad vehicle imo. But I never have a squad 😞 Tank hunter when enemy has lots of vehicles or more static defense. Squad support when team needs a spawn point and we need to push an OBJ. Mortar, if hitting an objective and using You tank as a mobile spawn but squad support is better in my opinion for this role too.
Mortar landship is best. This lmg is great against infantry on close, medium and long ranges. Good fire rate, bullet speed travel, and takes long to overheat. This mortar is also wonderful. It can kill infantry or destroy vechicles far away from you, or behind some rock or bulding. The only bad thing is that this is the only landship that can not shoot enemies behind it. Also, smoke is much more useful than gas or suply drop
I'm going to draw fire, but the tank hunter landship is my least favorite and the squad support landship is my most favorite. Reason being that, as someone who ends up playing the infantry side of things more often than tanks, I prefer tot have my team's tanks operating alongside me. Usually, T.H. landships attract would be snipers, who proceed to use the vehicle and its powerful single-shot weaponry to try and ineffectually snipe at infantry (this is particularly painful when the opposing team has no tanks.)
For me, the biggest sin of the Mortar Landship is using a valuable vehicle slot on a tank that wants to hide, which is disastrous when your opponents are using their tanks to push on objectives. The Tank Hunter Landship is my vote for the best due to its incredible AT capabilities, while the Squad Support is just kind of meh but a reasonable choice for maps like Volga River and Tsaritsyn.
The pre-"Buff" mortar landship was way better than the now current version that has 1 shell that takes forever to reload, and doesn't do enough damage to anything. You need a direct hit almost to kill infantry! Where as the pre "Buffed" mortar landship had 5 shells, 2 gas, and 3 smokes much like the arty truck. Can be used to knock down fortified positions, can be used as a mobile spawn point, and can be played aggressively easily. I miss the old Landship
I usually don't use vehicles (and I'm don't know why I don't since I really enjoy everytime I play with them). Anyway, when I use vehicles I, in 90% of the time, take the Landship. I really enjoy the Mortar Landship. The best way to use it (in my opnion) is to use it as flag defender and to keep moving between 2-3 close flags (since, like you said, it lacks mobility). Using your LMG to kill infantry and mortars to hit another vehicle far away or even big group of enemies (but don't take the mortar as "main" weapon). The mortar can be really strong but it takes sometime to learn how to use it. The biggest problem for the Mortar variant is enemy vehicles that are close to you since in 99% of the time you will rely on your gunners to take care of it. I really don't enjoy the Squad Support variant. I can't get used to the weapons. And the Tankhunter can be REALLY REALLY fun to play since you can destroy enemy vehicles and planes relatively easy. Biggest problem would be infantry =(
Now all we have left for tanks is the Armored Truck, and can you pease do videos on the planes, as well as eventually the C-Class Airship and the Destroyer.
Yeah, I should have maybe even started out with this, rather than going through all the weapon classes first... Plus, working at a rate of around one BF1 and one R6 video a week, it's taken me ages to get through all of the topics I wanted to cover. And here I am, trying to put some PUBG into the mix as well... don't ask me how I even think I could juggle three games covered in depth at the same time...
honestly I don't use this tank that much, but the one with the Tank Gewher rifle is probably the best for me because it 1. can 1 shot infantry, and 2, it can damage other tanks.
Steamloco the tank Hunter is amazing, with a coordinated team and someone who can repair the tank you can basically Crush any other vehicle on the battlefield. It's also a good idea to maybe have a few buddies hanging around the ship to kill any Infantry
I disagree about the mortar landship, just because the secondary weapon is a mortar doesn't mean you are requiered to use it as a long range tactical support weapon. you can use it to kill infantry and vehicles that use cover, at medium range. sure it is slow, but because it's indirect fire, you can catch people off guard, and at a shorter range the mortar fire lands much more accurately. I do agree that on many vehicle centric conquest maps, if you wanna take full atvantage of any variant- the tank hunter is the best, it's a freaking monster- a train killer. but in Operations for defense- the Mortar Landship can even be crucial game changer. I've had plenty of times on Amiens, Ballroom and even Sinai where I managed to get 5 or even 6 Infatry hogging the edge of a capture zone with one mortar hit and swing the match to our favor, and while it's usually the planes job to sway the odds with bombing, you can't always relay on them.
Hey man, nice video! Could you do the fighter plane next? I like it best out of the plane because i dont have to worry about disab- umm, mentally less evolved teammates.
A lamp using this landscape because I could basically do black best one side lost the black best skin me and my friend named it's either different characters the gunwale was Macmillan and then there's also another random guy and then the repairer was finished and then the person who was commanding in like the basically the back Ghana was towns in and then the driver was Edwards that was literally what we changed our ingame names to be and I have to say we went 50 to 0 deaths on the scoreboard
I really like the landship whit the mortar becuse of the devestating awesomness it feels like when you 're sending one up in the air and acually kills something :-P
The Tank Hunter is my favorite. Spawnsniping tanks on Soissons is unfair but a blast. Also it absolutely destroys enemy armor with the gunner seats manned. But I feel like a camper when using it.
Matteo Kropej Who cares lol, it's not COD. Its a strategic game.
idontcareaboutyourfeelings yeah that's my excuse. Destroying every tank so that infantry only needs to worry about enemy personnel is a good thing.
It's so satisfying to use, getting those 1 shot kills and hearing that kill sound is so perfect
getting spawnkilled by one of these at soissons is so infuriating
The Mortar Landship would have been amazing if the mortar were operated by another teammate, and allowed to be used while mobile.
you also want that thing to fly and teleport?
@@9ravecshahahaga
it was 1000 years ago since the last time i hit a landship without being ricocheted

They fixed it and broke the shotguns instead
I have a clip saved where I was getting ricochets with a wrench

I had no idea that the lanship was considered unpopular, it's my personal favorite tank in the game. Great vid as always though!
I think it's because people rarely ever get into the secondary positions on pretty much any of the vehicles in the game which in most cases means that the landship isn't going to be able to do much, especially if another tank appears.

The tank hunter variant is OP on open maps when your team has air superiority.
You are basically a tank hunter elite, but in a tank.

My preferred version of The Mark 5 landship is the squad support since it can drop supply packs while the 20mm cannon is the drivers main weapon for anti-infantry
Congrats to 100k, keep up the great work! Deine Videos sind echt klasse und haben stetige Qualität, bleiben aber interresant. Weiter so !
The mark 1 could be pierced by a multitude of machine guns if you shot at the weak points and the welds which were found out when these were captured or knocked out
Rogue-9, do a video on all of the transport vehicles in BF1. Like the motorbike, scout car, armored car, etc.
The Tankgewehr variant is definitely my favorite. Maximum damage on impact to any infantry, high damage to all vehicles and no drop or velocity reduction from high range. Much more versatile than other variants and plus allows the tanker to contribute inside the match itself.
I love using the tank hunter landship. Unfortunately, I never get a good crew (usually no crew) and I have to stick to long range fighting.
I personally prefer the squad variant since the auto cannon can take out tanks if you take on a heavy tank you can ram the side and have the cannons attack it
And you have the best bf1 vídeos on TH-cam, keep on the Great quality ;) (Sorry for my english, i'm Br)
It’s one of my all time favorites because of its history
Congrats on 100k subscribers Rogue!(Been here since 30k)
Thanks! :D
in the Squad Support Mark V the driver also has a backward facing LMG
IMHO for solos the Tank hunter and Mortar variant are perfect, but for most cases the landship is VERY situational, so most ppl didn't even bother picking Landship when they can have a A7V or St Chammond. the driver's lack of access to the main guns would be the main issue...
Can you cover stationaries next? The coastal gun or the siege mortar would be interesting to see in depth
Personally I prefer tank hunter, the fact you can shoot behind you prevents flanking by cavalry, and the cannons have increased range and damage ASWELL which I find good, and if you’re in a bad situation you can deploy chlorine gas or use emergency repair kit, best imo
Mortar tank section is set as part of the Tank Hunter section in the video.
been using the beutepanzer tankhunter since launch, cant tell you how many servers ive dominated with that thing, and the black bess skin is just a cherry on top
Tank hunter landship is best. Me and my friend won against an armored train with one by peeking over a dune and raining hell, then moving a little after counting the train mortar's reload. We targeted turrets first of course. But yeah, give that a try on Sinai Desert. It's insanely good.
I like the mortar landship, going to try the squad one.. not a fan of the tank hunter but that's my opinion.
Quick note: it is very easy for a support with a wrench to climb on top and wreck havoc on the tank. If this happens to you, DO NOT PANIC. Instead, back up and you’ll roadkill them. Exiting the tank will likely result in it being stolen
I prefer the squad support, its not totally useless if your by yourself and with people on the side cannons its almost unstoppable, and it helps your team.
Was on a nostalgia trip recently. I was 26 when this game came out. I was number 1 in the world for the landship (kills) I'd say for maybe 6 months. That's really cause no one else used it, then it got the buff and over time people surpassed me. But the buff they gave it back in the day, especially with the squad support valiant, good times. That was an absolute monster on the Amiens operations and the map right before it. It would tear through the enemy
Can you test the effects of the suppression specialisations ? I don't notice much of a diference when using them, great vid btw.
Hands down tank hunter is the best for me. Can tear apart vehicles and infantry alike. And cheeky plane kills are fun too.
I like the Mortar variant, although I always receive a shitstorm, because of camping in a safe distance.
I love using the squad support landship in russian dlc maps.
The tankhunter landship usually been used when teammates couldnt take out enemys vehicles.
The mortar landship is TOXIC.
Tank Hunter landship still the most powerfull If have infantry around it, can even fight the char 2C If stay in an edge
Gean Marcos Cardoso you cant beat a full hp char 2c with a damn landship... stop lying
I din'd say that i can kill it, but i can fight it, from distance, give a Great amont of demage to it, helping a lot the tean, since the char 2c is very slow, you can kite it, helping assalt players,
Gean Marcos Cardoso yeah, but 1 shot will disable you... so if the driver is pretty experienced you wont stand too much of a chance
Yeah, you are right too, usualy, i need tô pick 2 landships tô really dealt demage, becuse even If i im Good at the landship, 1 shot, and in disabled,sure that the Quick repair will help on this, Just to go for cover and repair, but its really hard when a decent player takes control of the main gun
Gean Marcos Cardoso luckily mostly noobs take the behemoth... they just wait at the spawn until it's there
I normally play as the squad support variant followed by the mortar variant I have never played the tank hunter version
The support landship is the one for me. I like to push forward so I find it easier to use and to support my team mates. I hated the tank hunter but I see now that I've been playing it the wrong way so it's back to the drawing board lol 😂
The mortar ship launching animation can be skipped with RT, Idk about pc tho.
Personally I like the tank hunter
It’s deadass overpowered
As long as you can coordinate with your gunners over voice chat, you basically have two Haevy Breakthrough tanks plus a tankhunter elite working together. Crazy good against other vehicles.
But I still think it's quite well balanced because it has limited ability to fight infantry at close range.
I love the landship best squad vehicle imo. But I never have a squad 😞
Tank hunter when enemy has lots of vehicles or more static defense.
Squad support when team needs a spawn point and we need to push an OBJ.
Mortar, if hitting an objective and using You tank as a mobile spawn but squad support is better in my opinion for this role too.
Mortar landship is best. This lmg is great against infantry on close, medium and long ranges. Good fire rate, bullet speed travel, and takes long to overheat. This mortar is also wonderful. It can kill infantry or destroy vechicles far away from you, or behind some rock or bulding. The only bad thing is that this is the only landship that can not shoot enemies behind it. Also, smoke is much more useful than gas or suply drop
I'm going to draw fire, but the tank hunter landship is my least favorite and the squad support landship is my most favorite. Reason being that, as someone who ends up playing the infantry side of things more often than tanks, I prefer tot have my team's tanks operating alongside me. Usually, T.H. landships attract would be snipers, who proceed to use the vehicle and its powerful single-shot weaponry to try and ineffectually snipe at infantry (this is particularly painful when the opposing team has no tanks.)
For me, the biggest sin of the Mortar Landship is using a valuable vehicle slot on a tank that wants to hide, which is disastrous when your opponents are using their tanks to push on objectives. The Tank Hunter Landship is my vote for the best due to its incredible AT capabilities, while the Squad Support is just kind of meh but a reasonable choice for maps like Volga River and Tsaritsyn.
Lol I appreciate you pronouncing Gewehr correctly... most people I know would pronounce it guewer or something like that... great vids
The pre-"Buff" mortar landship was way better than the now current version that has 1 shell that takes forever to reload, and doesn't do enough damage to anything. You need a direct hit almost to kill infantry!
Where as the pre "Buffed" mortar landship had 5 shells, 2 gas, and 3 smokes much like the arty truck. Can be used to knock down fortified positions, can be used as a mobile spawn point, and can be played aggressively easily.
I miss the old Landship
so i think what should be done with the mortar landship is use the guns as self defense tools
Test the behemoths next!
I usually don't use vehicles (and I'm don't know why I don't since I really enjoy everytime I play with them). Anyway, when I use vehicles I, in 90% of the time, take the Landship.
I really enjoy the Mortar Landship. The best way to use it (in my opnion) is to use it as flag defender and to keep moving between 2-3 close flags (since, like you said, it lacks mobility). Using your LMG to kill infantry and mortars to hit another vehicle far away or even big group of enemies (but don't take the mortar as "main" weapon). The mortar can be really strong but it takes sometime to learn how to use it. The biggest problem for the Mortar variant is enemy vehicles that are close to you since in 99% of the time you will rely on your gunners to take care of it.
I really don't enjoy the Squad Support variant. I can't get used to the weapons. And the Tankhunter can be REALLY REALLY fun to play since you can destroy enemy vehicles and planes relatively easy. Biggest problem would be infantry =(
Now all we have left for tanks is the Armored Truck, and can you pease do videos on the planes, as well as eventually the C-Class Airship and the Destroyer.
They should’ve just made the land ship a solo tank like with the driver using the cannons
This video would have been great if it had come out a year ago. Most bf1 players have stopped playing it now
Yeah, I should have maybe even started out with this, rather than going through all the weapon classes first... Plus, working at a rate of around one BF1 and one R6 video a week, it's taken me ages to get through all of the topics I wanted to cover.
And here I am, trying to put some PUBG into the mix as well... don't ask me how I even think I could juggle three games covered in depth at the same time...
I like the squad landship because is awesome seeing body fly because u shot them with a 20mm auto cannon
Didn't even knew variants of this sluggish snail exists :D
honestly I don't use this tank that much, but the one with the Tank Gewher rifle is probably the best for me because it 1. can 1 shot infantry, and 2, it can damage other tanks.
Steamloco the tank Hunter is amazing, with a coordinated team and someone who can repair the tank you can basically Crush any other vehicle on the battlefield. It's also a good idea to maybe have a few buddies hanging around the ship to kill any Infantry
As a solo player I just use the tank hunter variant if I do ever use the landship.
I disagree about the mortar landship, just because the secondary weapon is a mortar doesn't mean you are requiered to use it as a long range tactical support weapon. you can use it to kill infantry and vehicles that use cover, at medium range. sure it is slow, but because it's indirect fire, you can catch people off guard, and at a shorter range the mortar fire lands much more accurately.
I do agree that on many vehicle centric conquest maps, if you wanna take full atvantage of any variant- the tank hunter is the best, it's a freaking monster- a train killer.
but in Operations for defense- the Mortar Landship can even be crucial game changer. I've had plenty of times on Amiens, Ballroom and even Sinai where I managed to get 5 or even 6 Infatry hogging the edge of a capture zone with one mortar hit and swing the match to our favor, and while it's usually the planes job to sway the odds with bombing, you can't always relay on them.
Dude I had to secretly buff this thing because I just went 70 and o as a driver
Do transport vehicles (sidecar, car) next.
I got 78-0 with the mortar landship variant but requires an aware teammate to take out other tanks
You Rogue! will you be taking a look at the medic gadgets soon? i'm curious how the two grenade launchers work! their damage and damage drop off etc!
The tank hunter is best. It is basically an armored sniper gun. The mortar landship is always driven by a camper/tank waster, so dont spawn on it.
Hey man, nice video! Could you do the fighter plane next? I like it best out of the plane because i dont have to worry about disab- umm, mentally less evolved teammates.
A lamp using this landscape because I could basically do black best one side lost the black best skin me and my friend named it's either different characters the gunwale was Macmillan and then there's also another random guy and then the repairer was finished and then the person who was commanding in like the basically the back Ghana was towns in and then the driver was Edwards that was literally what we changed our ingame names to be and I have to say we went 50 to 0 deaths on the scoreboard
I really like the landship whit the mortar becuse of the devestating awesomness it feels like when you 're sending one up in the air and acually kills something :-P
If you haven't done so already, do one on the heavy bomber plz
I like to snipe planes, people, and vehicles with the tank hunter.
