Some people were asking for a tank guide so I put one together. Tanking is a bit different in Battlefield V compared to other Battlefield games but you can still play aggressively and dominate the map.
AKA-ART thank you thank you thank you. I emailed you along with a few clips for the top plays asking if you could do an aggressive tank guide and here it is. Thanks art
Thank you so much AKA!!!! You're channel is awesome much like most other battlefield TH-camrs. Keep up the top plays clips and all these tutorials that you're doing!!!
Aggressively tanking is similar to playing as an aggressive infantryman, just bigger. You still need to be aware of your surroundings, what weapons work at what ranges, and how you can get the drop on the enemy and retreat before they encircle you.
Going full support for a tanker buddy is so much fun. Jumping in and out of the gunner seats, and in/out of the vehicle to repair is more exciting than driving imo
Another tip is always switching to that coax to keep enemies heads down while the cannon is reloading. You never want to show weakness or vulnerability I'm constantly switching between coax and main gun, I see you do that as well.
I like how the twin .50 calls on the pacific amphibious tanks are twice as effective against infantry than the 4x20mm on Flakpanzer. The rounds fired by the German 20mm were twice as heavy and had the same velocity as the .50 cal. So twice the damage, twice the guns. Should be 4x as powerful as 2x .50 cals. But that would be ridiculous. I’m just saying the 20mm should get a buff and just give it way less ammo.
NGC 7635 battlefield logic. Unfortunately it’s not real life. in real life u can’t just get shot 5 times than get revived over and over again. I hope in the next battlefield they have a game mode that uses gameplay mechanics from the game squad for people like us who care about ultra realism
Small note for your gunner section, the support class engineer role also has the fast repair and reduced overheat on vehicle (and stationary) guns. Which makes them excellent gunner/repair copilots for tankers that want to play as crew.
miguelzaibatsu and me and my friend constantly carry our team even when I’m not tanking so I guess I’m bad at infantry when dropping 60 kills and and 2 deaths on my best game of conquest
@@saladin30 you're not the only one. I was tanking last night and a dude in my own squad was map edging the whole game pretty much making him utterly useless. I started using the LVT to drive under him and flip him over to get him to get the hint....he didnt lolol
Thx for breaking the video down into several enjoyable sections. It makes it all a lot more easy to digest and also just tastes better. Much easier on the stomach
I didnt realise there was a name for it but when I played this game, I would bring a tank to the outskirts of objectives, with my squadmate in the gunner seats. We were so practiced at working together, I would angle around so he could gun down infantry lungeminers. Or if I was gunner and we got hit, I would hop out, throw smoke down and repair him / fight infantry as he pulled back. So many games we were in the same tank for most of the match.
really god video, thanks for this as I've yet to level all tanks up due to not being able to get them and then getting blown to bits when i do get them.
I once parked a Staghound on those boats where you were on Rotterdam around the 2:00 mark. Something hilarious about people jumping down into “cover” and then immediately panicking when they realize they are looking at a tank...
A tip for light vehicle users: I find that for the light tanks like the Type 97 and Panzer 38t, it works well to equip armour-piercing ammo rather than going for a larger gun: circling around tanks, equipping AT, and blasting them from behind. I managed to flank quite a few Shermans and other medium/large tanks using this tactic, and believe it takes only around 2 hits from AT from behind to take 'em out - at least with Sherman at close range...
German Medium tank Tank Flares Shotty like secondary Main tank shell does good damage to armor, Flares lets me know where any enemy is at, when I want to push really hard. Shotty secondary lets me kill many infantry back to back, Splash damage kills infantry really fast. I go 100-0 at times with this load out.
Tbh I really like the tank gameplay in BFV, assualt classes don’t bust me in like 2 seconds because I usually find them and just blast em. This is just my opinion though
It’s hard to find a middle ground too far and your not that useful and just farming kills, too close and you just get rocket spammed (and now lunge mines) and get murdered. you gotta Find the middle ground where your a presence on the objective and the enemy is wary of you but can’t just rush you.
@@l.palacio9076 Shermans were pretty bad, especially when compared to something like the Tiger, It makes sense that there would be that level of difference between the two tanks
@@vallianroke1375 I get it, the Sherman is a medium tank and the Tiger is a heavy tank. My problem is with maps that put USA against Germany, because USA don't have heavy tanks to fight against Tigers
A quick FYI: at 14:40 he states that you should prioritize assaults and other tanks when low on health. I think it would be wise to kill any supports aswell as they can do a similar amount of damage as the assault class. Just today I found out that shaped charges when placed on the engine can do 50 damage per to theT34 Calopie so I popped that sucker in less than 10 seconds. If it’s Tldr: 14:40 watch out for supports aswell
You fond tanking as fun as the other games?? I'm a tanker also, and while I hated stuff like staff shell and lock ons in bf4(I never used them either btw), at least it was fun. Here, so so
Love the vid, great tanker tips but most for new players. The problem i always have is that my team doesn't know what objectives are and won't push or never assist a tank with either repairs or supportive fire. And if you have a tanker in your team its always either a tiger who is clueless or a sherman or type 95 with 0 awareness.
@@eagleone5456 no because the team with better tank players would absolutely dominate making it a much worse experience for the majority of players on the losing team

About the funny moments we never gonna get in BFV as we get in BF3 and 4 when you are an infantry fighting a tank and he jumps out and you steal the tank then he do the same thing to you and you jump out trying to kill him and he jumps back in again and so on and on. Those moments will never happen in BFV thanks to those locked animations.
@@MatteAwesome Actually not true it happens once not a couple of times. Just show me a single video about it. BFV would've have been the best game of the decade if it was realistic, historically accurate and without bugs.
MatteAwesome lol idc either way but it’s funny how half the community doesn’t really care about realism and the other half gets super passed over fancy cosmetics
I think that tanking can clear a point then protect the counter attack. But if your tank is used as a direct response to the counter attack although your not on the point it’s still essential to the objective. That’s how I play. Every solider you pull towards yourself is less killing the captures
One tip I can give is if you're using the Staghound please do not attempt to 1v1 any tanks especially if you don't have the ability to shoot them with rockets. You can be 3 shot (4 shot w/ instant repair) by any tank in the game. The Panzer 38T even has you outmatched considerably with it's APCR rounds. At least that's what I've seen so far.
You sound a lot like Ahoy 😂 the perfect voice for narrating videos. I hope you abuse that and make some awesome dramatic videos in his old style during the CoD years.
I don't really camp unless I'm taking a flag, but i dont understand the hate campers get. People moan about realism yet expect you to run about with MMG's
in BF3 I always played support and I made a point of spawning near sniper hotspots and dropping my ammobox there in BF5 I usually play medium range assault, but sometimes switch to assault to repair vehicles and guns throughout the map. My aim still sucks but my gameplay massively improved trying to see the bigger picture and changing class accordingly Nothing as strong as a tank with a repairman as first gunner
I often enter lobbys and squads where no one is trying to help the Tankers going around and helping, luck of the draw I guess, I use the Valentine Archer and Sturmgeschütz a lot and sometimes switch to the Churchill or Tiger on occasion. For the Valentine Archer I typically find good cover behind the Stone walls on Panzerstorm. They may be temporary cover, but since most people use the standard shells and almost never the APDS or Armor Piercing. The shells do little damage to me. Another I like to do since most Assault players are a little greedy when attacking tanks, I pretend to be oblivious to them when I see them get close I stay still, possibly fire off a shell. If they're cocky and dumb they'll go for the Dynamite. The Archer has a rear-facing gunner seat I use to complete the trap for that assault player. They come too close and I switch to the gunner seat and kill them at close range because it's hard to not hit them. The smart assault players typically use their Panzerfaust or PIAT or M1A1 Bazooka and don't fall for it. Note for Battlefield V Assault players: just because you HAVE Dynamite, doesn't mean you should use it always on a Lone Tank, instead set a Trap, then shoot the tank with a rocket to get it's Attention.
I usually sit around the objectives and shell the area to support the infantry, and then I rush just to the outskirts of the objective, so I have an easy escape route. And whenever I see a tank, I just rush it with my AP-shells (Using the Panzer IV), which absolutely murders just about every tank, if you know where to place your shells (i.e. tracks when approaching from the front, the side when approaching from, the side? And then finally, the back, again, when approaching from the back. NEVER target the turret, unless you want to disable the turret rotation speed.), and if you place them correctly and have a nice aim, then you're pretty damn near invincible. The PAK-40 specialization for the Panzer IV is good all around. Also for infantry, but you just need to be a bit more accurate, to hit the infantry within its splash damage kill range. The Valentine is just a tad bit different. You can just spamfire the cannon, due to its higher rate of fire, and be pretty effective. I also prefer to use the AP-composite shells here. Though just not as effective as the Panzer IV's AP shells. Finally, heavy tanks. All the same. I don't use the howitzer on the Churchill, because I wan't to be capable of taking down other tanks. So I use the APC rounds, with much higher muzzle velocity (Compared to the howitzer). And with the Tiger, just use the damn HEAT-T shells. You can potentially take down a medium tank with two shells.
Being passive isn't an issue since you're more likely to know what's going on around you and be in a position to say defend a cap or stop a push since you aren't either dead/out of ammo due to being aggressive or going cap to cap with the zerg.
Well, no matter what tank class you have as a solo player you cannot prevent the "here I am " gunner from spawning into your vehicle and shooting at trees and random objects so that by the time you encounter the enemy they know full well you are there.
If you get an enemy standing on your tank and nobody has shot them off, look for steep terrain and drive off it. When they fall off they immediately die giving you another kill.
Previous bf games had a limit at ammo so you had to wait for it to recharge the ammo basically unlimited, here in 5 you have to actually be careful and spent your ammo wise and then you have to go back to resupply,
I like your video, I’ve been a tanker since bad company and cod 3 and waw I love tanks in battlefield games and yet I still have trouble lol despite many defenses I get taken out by ground troops faster then anything else
In my opinion if there's one thing BFV got right it's tanking and piloting. Sure, it may have been done better in previous titles but that doesn't mean it is bad here. Plus older games are either dead or have a playerbase of only hardcore players that don't really leave room for newbies or casuals, which makes casual play on those older games a bit more difficult in my experiences. That's not to say BFV doesn't have its fair share of sweats but there's usually a much more casual playerbase so hopping on for a quick match is pretty easy.
I want to see more squad play. An example is two assault players, one medic, and one support. This would be good for tank hunting. Assault would bring all AT weapons, medic would bring all smokes and health packages and support should bring an ammo crate with and AT pistol with LMG for quick shots on enemies. I feel like this is the strongest tank hunting squad! I feel like this would give any tank player a run for their money!
Shepherd Wu I can see that, with that said the point of the support in the squad is the keep the group filled with ammo and bog down enemies trying to stop the two assault classes from doing their job. The support should only jump in if completely necessary. The assault class has the best AT weapons, so use it to your advantage. The medic btw should be healing/reviving (duh) ;as well as hiding the assault from moving up.
Without infantry protecting you, once you're within 100 yards of the enemy you're basically insta-killed. The assault class is way to powerful to overcome and main cannon splash damage is horrible. I resort to using the Tiger more like an Anti-tank sniper, as opposed to something lethal able to push. Kind of a bummer.
Also if you have a gunner in a tank, don’t just sit sideways lobbing rounds into the distance leaving the gunner staring at a brick wall or embankment. It’s very frustrating.
Almost every time I get in a tank, I at least get 15 kills on average. I've gotten 50-0 games just punishing the enemy team. Or I get outsmarted with only a few kills
I love being a tank gunner/repair support player Its frustrating when a tanker goes rogue, meaning they solo push, get swarmed and we lose a great asset. BUT teams that support the tank and tanks that support the team are damn near unstoppable turning their snipers into easy kills and our assault players into objective capturers
I dont understand why I cant chose my soldiers gun.. You always have the same gun when you exit the tank.. You should be able to chose a gun. Maybe limit what guns you can have but atleast make choices..
I have a tip for infantry If you down someone at the near end of the match stay on them for a while because if a medic tries to revive you can mow them down instantly
I’m abit of a natural tanker I’ve got military in my heritage ground and Air Force. And the best advice is with tanking in Battlefield 5 do not be timid fight like it’s your last stance and don’t try and outrun infantry. Stick to you guns and don’t be close to infantry use your tank like a high powered sniper if there’s a large enemy garrison. Push up with air support to an objective to scatter infantry and destroy heavy positions then when retreating start co orditnating retreat after the 1st shot because the second will come and then you’ll have to move, if your in a larger tank like a Churchill 6 pounder or tiger stay put and fire back use your armour advantage because an awful gun isn’t really a problem when you have good armour and also a key tip from war thunder angle tigers are great always stick at a 30, 40 degree angle with the front plant and they’ll most likely be a glance and you should be alright
Situational awareness... :D "YeAaAH bOi leMmE dRiVe DiS tIgEr tAnK tO tHe piEr! wAiT waT?!?!?! LoL dAt wAs fUnNy ;DDDDDD" Most of players just camp in redzone and farm kills. They dont care if they lose the round as long as they get most kills. They only game mode in find tanks useful is breakthrough. Use either 38T or Staghound. Take out infantry, retreat and let your friendlies cap the flags. Rinse and repeat. This experience comes from playing 1000+ hours on ps4 community
You know im not the greatest tanker in bfv but usually when i hop in one im super agressive not coming at spawn and i hardly get taken out buy enimeis its all in the smoke launchers

As a top tier elite tanker in BF4, BF1, and BFV I can say that this is a solid guide. Nice work AKA-ART!

So I use the APC rounds, with much higher muzzle velocity (Compared to the howitzer). And with the Tiger, just use the damn HEAT-T shells. You can potentially take down a medium tank with two shells.
Being passive isn't an issue since you're more likely to know what's going on around you and be in a position to say defend a cap or stop a push since you aren't either dead/out of ammo due to being aggressive or going cap to cap with the zerg.
I can't wait to get bf5 on instant gaming and start learning to use these advices
Yea
Well, no matter what tank class you have as a solo player you cannot prevent the "here I am " gunner from spawning into your vehicle and shooting at trees and random objects so that by the time you encounter the enemy they know full well you are there.
If you get an enemy standing on your tank and nobody has shot them off, look for steep terrain and drive off it. When they fall off they immediately die giving you another kill.
I spent more time destroying tanks than stying in them, unless the tank driver is blind, it's quite difficult to bust tanks
Hearing thunderrun in the background was nostalgic
How to tank in Battlefield V:
Camp on the side near an ammo crate
Done, saved you 18:28 LOL
(Tanking in BF5 is so awful)
Previous bf games had a limit at ammo so you had to wait for it to recharge the ammo basically unlimited, here in 5 you have to actually be careful and spent your ammo wise and then you have to go back to resupply,
papaGimis22 no one plays like that though they do exactly what this guy said
@@samoanmenace8202 well I do my friend
They need to fix the broken hit-reg in tanks already. 90% of tank vs tank fights involve dusting.
Is that what happens where I see the emeny shell fly just over or past my tank and it still damages me?
Those mine clearer rockets combined with main cannon are devistating when aimed at other tanks
I like your video, I’ve been a tanker since bad company and cod 3 and waw I love tanks in battlefield games and yet I still have trouble lol despite many defenses I get taken out by ground troops faster then anything else
Miss ya dude. Hope all's well in your life!🙏
In my opinion if there's one thing BFV got right it's tanking and piloting. Sure, it may have been done better in previous titles but that doesn't mean it is bad here. Plus older games are either dead or have a playerbase of only hardcore players that don't really leave room for newbies or casuals, which makes casual play on those older games a bit more difficult in my experiences. That's not to say BFV doesn't have its fair share of sweats but there's usually a much more casual playerbase so hopping on for a quick match is pretty easy.
tanking in bfv is harder than my .... sometimes
Tanks are big slow tho in bf5
Try playing tank in War Thunder
I want to see more squad play. An example is two assault players, one medic, and one support. This would be good for tank hunting. Assault would bring all AT weapons, medic would bring all smokes and health packages and support should bring an ammo crate with and AT pistol with LMG for quick shots on enemies. I feel like this is the strongest tank hunting squad! I feel like this would give any tank player a run for their money!
AT pistol is not as effective as AT mines, I usually just put AT mines near the tanks and detonate them
Shepherd Wu I can see that, with that said the point of the support in the squad is the keep the group filled with ammo and bog down enemies trying to stop the two assault classes from doing their job. The support should only jump in if completely necessary. The assault class has the best AT weapons, so use it to your advantage. The medic btw should be healing/reviving (duh) ;as well as hiding the assault from moving up.
Dude should definitely be narrating National Geographic
I reached top tier in WT so a game with a history of fast af tank turrets shouldn't really be that big of a problem for me
Without infantry protecting you, once you're within 100 yards of the enemy you're basically insta-killed. The assault class is way to powerful to overcome and main cannon splash damage is horrible. I resort to using the Tiger more like an Anti-tank sniper, as opposed to something lethal able to push. Kind of a bummer.
I like all the load outs but the APCRs on the Tiger will eat any light armor and sometimes two shot churchills
Also if you have a gunner in a tank, don’t just sit sideways lobbing rounds into the distance leaving the gunner staring at a brick wall or embankment. It’s very frustrating.
what if my enemy is watching this video
damn :')
To become a chad Japanese tanker you must of put tank in the tunnel for max sneekiness.
Almost every time I get in a tank, I at least get 15 kills on average. I've gotten 50-0 games just punishing the enemy team. Or I get outsmarted with only a few kills
Can you please do a ultimate pilot guide?
I love being a tank gunner/repair support player
Its frustrating when a tanker goes rogue, meaning they solo push, get swarmed and we lose a great asset. BUT teams that support the tank and tanks that support the team are damn near unstoppable turning their snipers into easy kills and our assault players into objective capturers
I dont understand why I cant chose my soldiers gun.. You always have the same gun when you exit the tank.. You should be able to chose a gun. Maybe limit what guns you can have but atleast make choices..
I would think ima Sherman cave sweeping you would use a flame thrower on you’re tank
Love getting to use the Sherman 6 times in 1 iwo jima game, just to be bum rushed by 2 or 3 tanks every time.
Gotta be smart
That tank going in the water lmfao
Tip: valentine archer in the corner of the map to snipe tanks
Loved the vid. Really great tips.
Good chunk of info well done...
Am I the only one who noticed the trees coming through the walls at 4:12?
Yeah his game is possesed
5:18 Its chassis is missing
in the top left you seee 'REVIVE PLEASE'.This is an EPIC problem in the game,well everyday life there is NO COMMON DECENCY anymore!
I have a tip for infantry
If you down someone at the near end of the match stay on them for a while because if a medic tries to revive you can mow them down instantly
I’m abit of a natural tanker I’ve got military in my heritage ground and Air Force. And the best advice is with tanking in Battlefield 5 do not be timid fight like it’s your last stance and don’t try and outrun infantry. Stick to you guns and don’t be close to infantry use your tank like a high powered sniper if there’s a large enemy garrison. Push up with air support to an objective to scatter infantry and destroy heavy positions then when retreating start co orditnating retreat after the 1st shot because the second will come and then you’ll have to move, if your in a larger tank like a Churchill 6 pounder or tiger stay put and fire back use your armour advantage because an awful gun isn’t really a problem when you have good armour and also a key tip from war thunder angle tigers are great always stick at a 30, 40 degree angle with the front plant and they’ll most likely be a glance and you should be alright
I got a Masterclass ad for this video, lol
11:58 this is a really risky move because you risk losing your tank and also the dumbass teammate might steal your tank
As an experienced tank player I agree 🐼🖒
Noobs: TaNks N PLaNes rUiN Battlefield
Me: Do you want a washed out call of duty game or do you want a better experience?
Amazing content!
The Sherman I had everything on the right side for loadout
Infantry can do some work without a tank but tanks struggle without infantry
Thnx for the tips
It's really stretching the term to call that "lack of Situational Awareness" @ 2:25
This is just an idiot in a vehicle.
Think he was just using that as a segue into situational awareness.
I prefer the Puma over the Panzer T due to it’s speed but comparing the Puma and the Panzer T, which one is more durable?
Situational awareness... :D
"YeAaAH bOi leMmE dRiVe DiS tIgEr tAnK tO tHe piEr! wAiT waT?!?!?! LoL dAt wAs fUnNy ;DDDDDD"
Most of players just camp in redzone and farm kills. They dont care if they lose the round as long as they get most kills.
They only game mode in find tanks useful is breakthrough. Use either 38T or Staghound. Take out infantry, retreat and let your friendlies cap the flags. Rinse and repeat.
This experience comes from playing 1000+ hours on ps4 community
You know im not the greatest tanker in bfv but usually when i hop in one im super agressive not coming at spawn and i hardly get taken out buy enimeis its all in the smoke launchers
My top 3 are: Churchill crocodile
Churchill mkviii
Panzer 38t
Awesome Vid you should do one for planes
That’s it 😀😍
In panzerstorm i killed a tiger that was not angle so i took it as advantage
The military crest
Thanks 👍
just figured out that AKAS vids are better played in 1.25 x speed :D
no one going to talk about that grass or foliage at 4:04?
