    ______________________________________________________________________
    Battlefield 4 is a first-person shooter video game developed by video game developer EA DICE and published by Electronic Arts. It is a sequel to 2011's Battlefield 3 and was released in October 2013 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360; then later in November for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
    Battlefield 4 was met with positive reception. It was praised for its multiplayer mode, gameplay and graphics, but was also criticized for its short and shallow single-player campaign mode, and for its numerous bugs and glitches in the multiplayer. It was a commercial success
    Battlefield 4's multiplayer contains three playable factions-the United States, China, and Russia-fighting against each other, in up to 64-player matches on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One (24-Player on Xbox 360 and PS3). A newly reintroduced "Commander Mode", last seen in Battlefield 2142, gives one player on each team a real-time strategy-like view of the entire map and the ability to give orders to teammates. Also, the Commander can observe the battle through the eyes of the players on the battlefield, deploying vehicle and weapon drops to "keep the war machinery going", and order in missile strikes on hostile targets.[7][8] A spectator mode is included, enabling players to spectate others in first or third person, as well as use a free camera to pan around the map from any angle.
    On June 10, 2013, at E3, DICE featured the map "Siege of Shanghai", pitting the People's Liberation Army against the U.S. Marine Corps. The gameplay showcased Commander Mode; new weapons and vehicles; and the "Levolution" gameplay mechanic. The video displays the last of these at various points, including: a player destroying a support pillar to trap an enemy tank above it; and a large skyscraper (with an in-game objective on the top floor) collapsing in the center of the map, kicking up a massive dust cloud throughout the map and bringing the objective closer to ground level.[9] Levolution also includes effects such as shooting a fire extinguisher to fill the room with obscuring clouds, car alarms going off when stepped on, metal detectors going off once passed through, or cutting the power in a room to reduce others' visibility.[9][10]
    The maps included in the main game are "Siege of Shanghai", "Paracel Storm", "Zavod 311", "Lancang Dam", "Flood Zone", "Rogue Transmission", "Hainan Resort", "Dawnbreaker", "Operation Locker" and "Golmud Railway".[11][12] The game modes on offer include Battlefield's Conquest, Domination and Rush; while adding two new game modes called Obliteration and Defuse, along with traditional game modes such as Team Deathmatch and Squad Deathmatch.[12][13]
    The four kits from Battlefield 3 are present in Battlefield 4 with minor tweaks. The Assault kit must now wait for the defibrillator to recharge after reviving teammates in quick succession. The Engineer kit uses PDWs, and carbines are available to all kits. The support kit has access to the new remote mortar and the XM25 allowing for indirect suppressive fire. The Recon kit is now more mobile and is able to equip carbines, designated marksman rifles (DMRs), and C4. Sniping mechanics also give with the ability to zero in your sights (set an aiming distance), and equip more optics and accessories than previous Battlefield games. The Recon kit is still able to utilize the MAV, T-UGS, and the Radio Beacon.[14][15][16][17]
    New vehicles have also been introduced. With the addition of the Chinese faction, new vehicles include the Type 99 MBT, the ZFB-05 armored car, and the Z-10W attack helicopter. Jets have also been rebalanced and put into two classes, "attack" and "stealth". The attack jets focus is mainly air-to-ground capabilities, while stealth jets focus mainly on air-to-air combat. Another vehicle added in Battlefield 4 is the addition of the RCB and DV-15 Interceptor attack boats, which function as heavily armed aquatic assault craft.

    Great video! The turret speed on PC is unreal, can imagine it makes fighting tanks as infantry alot more difficult than console.
    Only other tip is an obvious one but is to make sure you have mechanic perk on your engineer class, something I always forget to change haha
    EDIT: also I'm pretty sure you take more damage if you have boost on/full speed so that's something to keep in kind, especially on larger maps

  • @jackgu4978
    @jackgu4978 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I generally have 2 different playstyles when it comes to tanks:
    if you are soloing, then be aware of your surrounding and check mini-map, don't get greedy and maintain distance (of course I don't mean camping in the back). Find holes in enemy lines and flank enemy tanks. Pick easy to moderate fight.
    if you have a squad mate, then you can be more aggressive and start to hunt down people, back up for your squad mate to repair when damaged.
    repeat the cycle and start farming!

    A lot of the time for anti vehicle play I like to use Staff Shells as my secondary. You don’t even need to have line of sight on a tank to hit them, if they’re behind a Boulder on Golmud or behind a wall on Zavod it’ll lock onto them as it’s flying by and basically do a 90 degree turn into them and typically immobilize them. It’s like a passive lock Missile so they don’t get the alert until a split second before it hits. Also it’s got unlimited range with zero drop so you can basically snipe vehicles from the other side of the map.
    Good vid as always 👍

  • @sombody1596

    If you find yourself losing in a tank fight, being one shot behind or something, I found it really useful to literally just ram into the enemy tank from slightly on the side. This will lift up the enemy tank and you get below it, and they just won't be able to shoot you at all and you can shoot their bottom and win. Works every time

    One area I think that is not talked about in BF is camo choices for corresponding maps. Snow camo with a nice worm pattern is pretty versatile on tanks and helis in multiple environments. That camo choice can sometimes gave you the edge you need to win. By remaining a little harder to see. Red patterns in snowy maps is a big example of what not to do. Snow White for helis in Shanghai maps is the bees knees. Dark urban for tanks and helis in Dawnbreaker etc.

    I guess to each their own preference. I love to use the tank as an AA as well, so sabot shell's speed really does the trick when gunning down choppers and jets. Also if your aim is on point, sabot shell for 1 hit infantry kills from distance also work well. I never had any trouble fighting other armor with it either.

  • @IllllllIIIIIIIIlllllll
    @IllllllIIIIIIIIlllllll 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    So I've switched to really only two loadouts and I go back and forth depending on the map. I always use thermal vision and incendiary.
    1st: HE shells, HMG, Active Protection, Autoloader. I use this on Infy heavy maps like Zavod, Prop or when I'm really wanting to farm haha. HE Autoloader is just crazy good!!
    2nd: AP Shells, HMG, Smokescreen, Thermal Camo. I use this on most vehicle maps like Rogue. Smokescreen not only hides shots from being shown on the mini maps while in the (Area of Effect) for 6 seconds but it also it forces minimal damage to all sides of the tank when shot with dumb fire AT. So with Smokescreen you can pop smoke and then shoot, you will not show on the minimap when you shoot. Especially if you're spamming inspire by seat switching you become a ghost tank. Also the recharge is 12 seconds so it's only down for 6 seconds. Tonk2stronk (Tank-Ace) told me about it a few years ago.

      Also a Tonk apprentice with over 300k kills. I would second these load outs.
      If you want to turn a game into 3D chess use Thermal Camo, you can basically bait everyone, but it’s an entirely different way to play.
      The only difference is that I use LMG. Only because LMG keeps you off the mini-map and I play solo and infantry aggressive.

  • @FastestGunNJ
    @FastestGunNJ 3 ปีที่แล้ว +19

    I seriously disagree about the AP shell vs sabot. Back from the symthic days (RIP 👏), we know that the slight buff to velocity is what gives the edge. That, and shooting just above the roof of an MBT for back-shot damage is much easier with the sabot. I will say, canister + AP is DISGUSTING on CQC maps. Second seat and HMG are to deal with infantry and help clean up vehicles you hit with the main gun.
    I really like the smoke due to breaking locks and preventing crit damage, and it has a much longer uptime due to the massive cooldown on APS. Once again, map dependant.

    • @SilkOCE

    • @certaindeath7776

      you think from wrong angle. in a tank its not your job to fight tanks, its your job to farm infantry. fighting tank reduces kpm, reduced kpm = less ticket loss for enemy and more map control. best you can do as a tanker is reduce enemy tickets around contestet flags, denying reinforcments, secure map control, help infantry secure point, move somewhere else, repeat. just keep enemy tanks at distance, and if they overextend kill em, while beeing in a favourable position (within your team) yourself, so you get the advantage when enemy tank forces a fight.
      AP and HMG is a versatile loadout for that

      @@certaindeath7776 Your job as a tank driver is not to farm kills.
      A tank is one of the most valuable assets in the game, if you want to use it effectively, you cannot constantly run or hide from other tanks, you will have to take them out, before you try to farm infantry.
      Otherwise, if people play like this, they will not advance and lose the game by ticket bleed, unless the other team is simply incapable of objectively using their tanks.
      Basically, as soon as one tanker decides to end the circle jerk of tanks camping, farming and not engaging each other, you will be forced to play his game.
      And playing into someone else's gameplay is always a bad decision, if you are trying to win. It makes you rather predictable.

    Present your armour(front armour facing biggest threat), angle armour (don't know if it does anything but it's engrained in me from WT and WOT), allot of RPGs can be dodged because of how crazy the acceleration is. In a tight situation, tank fight u can shoot, pop aps, jump out quick rep while aps is protecting you or shoot ur rpg at them and hop back in

  • @andrewhackney6286
    @andrewhackney6286 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Very solid tips. I do think that for HC specifically, Sabot and LMG are a better choice than AP and HMG. Mostly because there is no passive health Regen for Infantry or vehicles. The velocity of the sabot makes it very easy to control engagement distances, and it's my opinion that baiting the enemy tank into missing a shot does more to help your relative dpm than doing a few extra points of DMG per shot, it's also MUCH easier to hit aircraft with the sabot.
    Difference of opinion aside, the best tip you gave here was about pillaring and baiting shots. If I could give only one tip to a new player in BF4, it would be that you should use cover in a tank just like you would as infantry, and that the less exposed you are the longer you'll live.

    I honestly use Sabot for the better ballistics and faster projectile

    Also keep in mind that, depending on the density of helicopters and their skill, it is very possible that you can 1 shot or 2 shot one with your Canister shells if you don't have much experience leading them with your main shot. Cheers from a tank try-hard, love your content

    Great video Silk!
    When it was released I thought it was a gimmick but after some use the hover tank has a special place in my heart. Learned how to use it and mastered it, outright deadly. Take down heli's and jets, infantry doesn't have a chance, gotta love the hover tank. As a trackball user I feel the trackball gave me a big advantage using the hover tank. As a master tanker If I wanted to really own a server I'd hop in an LAV equipped with tow and zuni's. Hell the mobile AA is a beast in the right hands, I preferred the 20mm and zuni's. I preferred the NV optics in vehicles for spotting mines and other explosives. I use smoke in all the vehicles - it takes you off the mini map and prevents you from being spotted for a brief period of time, works for my aggressive play style.

    I prefer the sabot shell because the main threat for me is air vehicles and sabot makes it easier to shoot down especially helis. AP is better than the sabot for infantry, but I usually am able to deal with infantry with the HMG, so I don't really need the AP.
    Quite often I choose the camo because it makes air vehicles to give you less attention.
    Often times I try to use the tanks long range capabilities to my advantage, stay out of areas where I can get attacked from several angles, but in looking into areas where lots of action is happening.
