The data for the Valentine archer was not available at the making of this video. So here are the stats: Front: 30° - 0.2 80° - 1 Side: 30° - 0.2 85° - 1.6 Mantlet: 0.8 at all directions Looks like it does not have a rear multiplier. So the best way to kill a Valentine Archer would be to hit its side. The front is also viable since it would destroy the engine, and if it is facing you directly, you may be able to get the 1x multiplier. Otherwise aim at the mantlet.
I cannot agree more with you. I once had a buddy leave his tank just to revive me and he died immediately after reviving me. I decided to get into his tank instead of reviving him because letting the enemy get your vehicle is the least fortunate thing that can happen. Lo and behold, I saw an enemy trying to get into the tank and just managed to kill him before he stole it.
@@seppalastname4574 I've seen team mates blow up Resupply Stations in Friendly Flags probably because they couldn't take the Tank themselvs and they were annoying the other guy who got the tank over them. Or maybe they were just toxic and they hate tanks but doing that shit damages your own team. BFV players are all selfish fucks. Everyone plays Support/Scout in the back of the map, no one resupplies, no one spots, no one revives, tanks camp on hills...I swear the BF1/V Comunity needs to die, its the worst of the franchise.
If you find an enemy tank circling around you, don't just move your turret to try catch the tank. Rotate your hull in the same direction as your turret and that should give you a speed boost to catch up to the enemy as fast as possible. Also, in such situations, it's always wise to use smoke and move out of the circle
Rule 1: Stop bringing AA tanks to maps/modes without aircraft. Rule 2: Angle your tank, especially in a slugging match. Rule 3: Zimerit is good against dynamite, recommend use on Pz38 and Tiger (also Pz 4 if you arent using the at cannon). Rule 4: As it was in actual combat, the one who connects the inital shot will usually come out on top. To do this, if you can, dont engage from the front. Strike from the side and disable their components to make life easier. Rule 5: When using smoke to fall back, dont reverse in a straight line. Rule 6: Never engage Strumtigers at close range from the front without cover. Ideally kill them from long range as it is very hard for them to adjust the firing angle in time. Rule 7: Pick your fights. Never engage more than one enemy at once unless you you can pick the first one off in 1 - 2 shots. However, the most important rule is NEVER LEAVE YOUR TANK WHEN SURROUNDED BY ENEMIES. Dont give them free vehicles. It seems like a no brainer but every once in a while, you do see it happen. Strumtiger guide 1: If you get a direct hit with your shell on the side of any tank, it will be a one shot. A direct hit on light tanks or half-tracks are automatic one shots. Strumtiger guide 2: You can damage yourself with your own shell if you fire too close. Also, never knew british engineering produced see through turrets (crocodile).
Pakorn Wattanavrangkul i still don’t understand people who bring AA tanks to pure tank fighting, it’s kinda annoying but I does like 3 damage to a tiger after at least 20 shots
@kANALe Grande When a shot bounces due to the angling of the tank hull, the shot does significantly less damage. Also for some weird reason, it is very possible to angle armor to deflect strumtiger rockets. That makes the strum tiger need to fire an extra round which gives you time to retreat. Deflecting shots also counter squashed head rounds from the Gun carrier and churchill. Not sure if it has changed since the latest patch though.
Rule 1 : bring fully upgrade Valentine AA (Rotterdam or Devastation) with shotgun ammo to the map that do not have plane, its very effective and run if fought an enemy tank
@@larch6509 Upgraded Valentine AA oneshots infantry evry time. You can earn 20 kills+ in few minutes. Much faster than with a regular tank. it is awesome option for infantry support on devastation (if defending) if you have at least one other tank in field to counter enemy armor.
One more thing you forgot Don’t be afraid of retreating and deploy smoke and getting and repair the tank especially if attrition prevent you from repairing your tank fully . also when retreating with smoke deployed zigzag while doing it so it would be hard for your opponent to guess where you are.
Nice tips on tanking. My only tank that causes me problems destroying is the Churchill gun carrier. It's seems to be a 50/50 standoff on winning or losing. Get a lot of recaches.
I love that the tanking isn't just run and gun anymore like bfbc1,2, bf3, and b4. Took me awhile to get use to and the tanks were so broken when the game first came out but I've been loving it.
Nice work! these are actually my favorite types of BFV gaming videos! I see way too many people in game that really don't know how to take advantage of what the designers intended. thanks
@@Adriaticus The Shermans were one of the most reliable and survivable tanks in the war, all the hate from it comes from one dude who is a fake historian who faked his sources. The reason you hear so many horror stories about the Sherman is because the crew actually survived to tell them, other tanks went through far worse and with no crew left to show for it. Meanwhile German gen 3 tanks would catch on fire after going up a slight incline, about 50% of the panther casualties in Normandy were due to mechanical failures before they could even encounter the enemy. Quit looking at memes as a source of history.
@@bobskadoodle2484 No such thing as “blitzkrieg strategy.” Their rapid advance was on accident and the blitzkrieg is just a term assigned to it after the fact. The Germans actually had very few mechanised and armoured units, in fact they were more dependent on horses than actual mechanisation. German gen 3 tanks were way too expensive so very few of them were actually made, and they most certainly didn’t turn the tide of anything, as they broke down extremely often and were far from invincible like so many media portrayals claim it is. Of course they dominated tank warfare at the beginning of the war because their two opponents were either nearly exclusively on horseback or were still using WW1 era tanks. In fact the French tanks were even better than the Panzer 1 and 2, but there were so few of them compared to the panzers, due to how small and lightweight they were, the Pz 1 originally being a training tank.
@@AzuraProductions Hell sure it is helpful. I was always too lazy to figure out multipliers for different tanks. And this side scraping trick? Amazing! Have you maybe considered expanding this tank guide with "how much X shots you need to destroy Y vehicle while hitting Z part". P.S. I feel sorry for you since you had to check this in real game and not in practice range.
Not sure if that would be helpful since the angle makes it breaks the shot and the damage varies a lot per shot. There are too many variables to determine how many shots you will need for each scenario.
@@AzuraProductions Yes and no. You cannot assume that all enemies know how to angle properly. In some cases it's nice to know how many damage you can deal so you can calculate if you can win 1v1 or if you can rush. It's nice to know that Panzer 4 with Pak 40 kills Staghound with 3 turret shots, or how much butt shots AP 6 pounder Valentine needs to kill Tiger (also 3 I belive). I mean come on, it's never bad to know more. Imagine that, You see Valentine that was smacked by Tiger twice into turret ( it was burning so it's obvious) you are Panzer 4 with 65 hp. With proper knowlege you can figure out if you can kill him or if he can kill you. Do you have to engage him with AP rounds or not? Will odds change if he has AP loaded or will he get you with X amount of turret shots anyway?

If you have a long range set up i found hiding in bushs and trees work really well optimal if theres solid cover to but it let you have a mobile artillery piece good for dealing with enemy armour

The Gun Carrier has a casemate as well, which is well armored in all directions. When attacking from the side or rear you need to hit the hull, otherwise it's as bad as a front attack.
needed this info. im pretty good with tanks sometimes going a whole round without losing my tank but there are some times i dont understand how i didnt do enough to kill. the glancing blow stuff is stupid and i wish there was a round you could opt for that does less damage but doesnt bounce of.
Lmao play Warthunder. And your basically asking for rounds that defy the laws of physics, at a certain range, angle, and depending on the slope of the armor your hitting it will greatly increase the effective armor the round is trying to penetrate.
Great guide. Since I've start using my new knowledge of angling in offensive and defensive, my tanking skills got so much better. I was even able to win 3vs1 tank fight, which I would not belive was even possible :D Subscribed obvoiusly 🙂
Great video. One thing I noticed is that you leave tank to repair it near enemy infranty, dont do that, if enemy steal your tank your team dosent get tank replaising it untill it is destroied.
As a tank main i can say that the biggest challenge in bfv whilst playing as a tank is actually getting into one before you can blink the tanks are allready chosen by other tank mains I really want there to be a tank only gamemode in BF6 Or more tank slots for tank mains i really hope theres a bigger player count in BF6 maybe like 120 players so each side has more tanks on it and tbh for any player battelfeild fan or not 120 players would truley be chaotic and awesome
Yo. This was a great video with helpful tips, damage infographic, and graphics describing the nuance of angle of attack. Quality video, quality production. Subbed and liked. Keep it up!
Hi Azura, I've just added the Japanese subtitle to this video and tank guide part 2 for I found those extremly helpful and wanted to share it my community. Please consider taking a look at Japanese subs and vailding it on the videos. Thanks!
A lot of stuff that I already knew worked, but not exactly why it worked, more trial and error that gave me some of these strategies. This was a very well made video and gave me some tactics I look forward to trying. Completely shocked you have less than 1k subs, found you looking for Stug footage before everyone had it and glad I found your channel.
@@AzuraProductions Thanks for the reply, they look crisp! Tanking has just started clicking with me and I'm enjoying it so your vids will be really helpful. Cheers!
Thanks for this video you just made a war thunder player consider buying this game on sale to come have a bit of fun. Didn't tought there was mechanics such as armor angle and ricochet. This may actually be a selling point for me 😁
@@AzuraProductions also, call me close minded but the lack of American and Japanese army definetly turned me off from buying it. I was so disapointed when i learnded that there wasen't going to be a M1 Garand in BF5 ahaha
Missed the comment sorry. If it is at a right angle (the impact surface that's facing the incoming tank shell), then it's 90 degrees. Then if you shoot at the edge of the armor barely scraping it, then it would approach 0 degrees. If you have got a protractor or look up an image of a protractor then it may help you out.
Azura, I'm sorry but the Valentine is a light tank. I know that it's the starter vehicle along with the Panzer IV, and that its easily misunderstood along with the QF 6 Pounder specialization, but it's an infantry tank designed to stick with infantry. It wasnt a very fast tank either, nor was the Churchill. It too was an infantry tank. However, the tank was too heavily armoured, and was considered a medium tank to some Canadian tank crews during the war, but it was designed a light tank/infantry tank.
Awesome video I always apply most of these things before even watching the video but its good to see some people understand tanks way deeper than normal players like competitive tankers like me also good job.
Ik this is like a year later but what I do is I shoot at their tracks which does a crap ton of damage and hitting them from the side I hit the side chassis and from behind... just hit their butt
What tank should start as? Tanking has never been my forte... but I would like to shoot down some planes for those epic Battlefield moments, suggestions?
My favorite tanks would be the medium tanks, the panzer IV, Valentine and the Valentine Archer. While shooting down planes are cool and epic, the primary roles of tanks are to support your team and to kill other tanks. Either way, good luck with it and hope this helps you get better at tanking!
The Valentine Archer is so good at lv 0, try it in the GO Hannut. If you haven't unlocked it yet, Panzer IV and Valentine MKVIII are good options, they are not made of cardboard like the LightTanks and are not slow like a rock like the HeavyTanks. For tiny maps such as Rottendam and Devastation use LightTanks or MedTanks, and DON'T DARE USING AA, OKAY? For maps like that one of the big bridge (I never remember its name lmao), Hamada and Arras, you can use either MedTanks, AA if the enemy planes are too good or aren't being contested, or Heavy tanks (like the Tiger, the Sturmgeschütz IV or the Churchills) In Aerodrome use MedTanks or Heavytanks and stay in the hills, it never fails. Same in Narvik. In Panzerstorm all tanks works if you are good at using them, but I think that if you're a begginer you should not use the LightTanks. MedTanks and HeavyTanks should work. The best tanks at level 0 are Valentine Archer, the Valentine MKVIII, the Panzer IV and the Tiger. (I haven't tried the Churchill GC or the P38 tho)
For the Valentine MKVIII go RMRR with the specializations, you'll increase you Rate of fire, damage and will have a ton of ammo. For the Churchill go LMLL, use the Howitzer against infantry and the Hesh against tanks. You'll sacrify rate of fire and range, but you're going to get a lot of damage. The Howitzer does 22 damage aprox. against tanks and the Hesh does 40 damage against tanks. The Howitzer does 112 damage against infantry and have a blast radius of almost 8 metters, so it's quite difficult to miss a shot against infantry. For the Valentine Archer go RMLM, why? Well, you'll never be in the frontline, so you'll not be able to use the AT mines, and you won't need the level 4 rounds because your default shot is enough for killing tanks. For the Staghound you could go RRRM or RMLL. For the Valentine AA go RMLL, it's jusg the better option you have. For the ChurchillGC you should go RM, idk about the rest because I haven't tried it enough. For the Panzer IV go LLLL, it's better than going RRRR. You could go RMLL if you really want to have the Zimmerit For the Tiger go RMRR or RMRM. You'll need that level 2 M, believe me. For the P38 I think you should go LM, idk about the rest because I haven't used in my life lmao. For the Flakpanzer IV go LMLM and laugh at the planes that dare approaching to you. Finally, for the Sturmgeschütz go RMRR or RMRM. You'll need the AT guns. Also, if infantry is going throwards you, get into the inside turret and kill them, it should not be so difficult if they aren't too away from you.
Your channel has been popping up lately the past week with tank guides. And I can't help but to watch and see how you decide to make the guides. I really enjoyed the examples you gave at the end of the video. With that being said I'll sub for my tank gameplay and guides. I only have a couple up to level 4 so I'll be working hard the next weeks or so leveling them up
Tip nr 1:25 - dont you ever exit the vehicle to repair or escape death. You die with your tank instead of giving them a chance to steal it from your team.
This comes up quite often. I come from the days of BF3/BF4 and the only way to repair is to get out of the tank (other than waiting it out which sometime it is not possible). This is a complicated topic and there is no absolute right or wrong to this. Without going too much into this, I will say that it depends on lots of factors, what type of game mode, where you are, how good you are as a player, how aware you are, at which point in the game you are in...etc all play a role in your decision to whether get out or not. I do agree that getting out of the tank during a firefight to escape death is a no-go for 99% of the situation.
Good video, hitting the tracks frontally doing max side damage multipliers is so broken, especially for the Tiger with its wide tracks, the same will be true for T-34s and Panthers, etc.
You forgot to mention the most useful tip . If u want to enjoy tank gameplay in this game , u should almost never engage tanks but just infantries . Do not act just by you alone . tanks main goal is to support infantries breakthrough objectives and points . lets say for example , if you were to see a heavily fortified enemy objectives that seems nearly impossible for your teammates to breakthrough , thats when you step up and support them , hence its purpose in warfare , its main goal is to SUPPORT infantry but almost to never fight enemy tanks like you were to see in movies . I have a lot of experience with tanks in this game i believe, i have a good over 2800 kills with tanks and would have to say playing this way guaranteed me to achieve kd over 9 almost every single round . period .
Absolutely man, the main purpose of tanks in general is to support infantry, fighting tanks when there are enemy tanks around. These are covered in aka Art's video so didn't want to repeat too much. But people should play tanks how they want to play, some like to kill enemy tanks, some like to farm infantry kills.
Wish Dice made it as requirement to be proficient in one tank to move on to the next size tank. Be like 25 or 50 tank on tank kills with a small tank. Then in a medium 50-75 tank on tank kills before move to a heavy tank. Nothing worse than a noob grabbing a Tiger and 10 seconds over the hill his turret is exploding. If you leave a tank empty and it gets captured a penalty of a couple games ( no tanking Asshole for you ) Plenty of games see a empty tank and it gets captured and used against your team. Then last, if you blow up your teams ammo dump for grins and giggles you die instantly & lose .5 on KD.
I shoot someone over 10 Times for 15 damage no repairs besides the emergency and he lives, he shoots me twice in the front of the hull and I’m almost Dead and disabled.
"this guy used similar color camo to hide from me until it was too late" Clip of you getting shot thrice from behind while you boogie straight ahead full speed & never once moving your turret
i dont want to Level up or Rank, just want to get into one?? how can you obtain a Tank in BF5 ? i saw the wheel icon and assumed i can now play a Tank. Hope you dont have to Grind or Rank up just to play a Tank?
Is there a setting that allows you to look around your tank in 3rd person without moving which direction the gun is turning? Like if I want to keep the gun pointed at a door, but need to look behind me quick, can i do this without moving the sights from the door?
Loved it, this was sooo useful and didn't take to much time unlike other videos. Also, here are the stats of all tank's guns (it wasn't written by me, I found it on Reddit): docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1D7wkyXjO1XzYwqbkRb56J0UfAHUdS8GF-XHJRbzopsk/edit?usp=drivesdk _HE_Shell are the default guns of the tanks, whilst if I'm not misrecalling it, _AT_Shell are the HEAT and other lv4 tank rounds.
The music at 11 min ~ is also on the start introduction to BFV but I can't find it on the soundtrack. Do you know which it is? I like the slightly altered theme.
In most situations, if you can land a good perpendicular shot, AP rounds will do more damage. Most of them also have a lower drop. HE rounds will bounce less, better against infantry with the higher splash damage but overall less damage to tanks.
Man I wish I got to try tank battles, I just have 3 at and 1 medic squads just chase my tank around the whole map and ruin the game for. Iv hade the game for 6 days and still havent had any fun in tanks what so ever
Gotta be careful using that hill method as cover as the rounds do have an arch to the trajectory, i have destroyed many of tanks by letting rounds fall over the hill.
The data for the Valentine archer was not available at the making of this video. So here are the stats:
Front:
30° - 0.2
80° - 1
Side:
30° - 0.2
85° - 1.6
Mantlet:
0.8 at all directions
Looks like it does not have a rear multiplier. So the best way to kill a Valentine Archer would be to hit its side. The front is also viable since it would destroy the engine, and if it is facing you directly, you may be able to get the 1x multiplier. Otherwise aim at the mantlet.
As a self trained tanker that racks 30 and 40s kills without dying. Listen to this man. He is probably the only other good tanker I have seen.
what does 80 ° angle mean ?
the only tip that ever matters.
Dont leave your tank vacant for any reason.
I cannot agree more with you.
I once had a buddy leave his tank just to revive me and he died immediately after reviving me. I decided to get into his tank instead of reviving him because letting the enemy get your vehicle is the least fortunate thing that can happen.

Not gonna lie but the German tank force in WW2 was hella lit 🔥

The Gun Carrier has a casemate as well, which is well armored in all directions. When attacking from the side or rear you need to hit the hull, otherwise it's as bad as a front attack.
it is very helpful but not very if against hacker 1 shot damage.
needed this info. im pretty good with tanks sometimes going a whole round without losing my tank but there are some times i dont understand how i didnt do enough to kill. the glancing blow stuff is stupid and i wish there was a round you could opt for that does less damage but doesnt bounce of.
The standard rounds bounce less than the AP rounds. The turret of all tanks also do not bounce as far as I know.
Lmao play Warthunder.
And your basically asking for rounds that defy the laws of physics, at a certain range, angle, and depending on the slope of the armor your hitting it will greatly increase the effective armor the round is trying to penetrate.
Thanks for the advice my favorite Tank is the Tiger. when you said about hitting them in the Track and turret I start doing that
One More thing this is my set up for the Tiger i use Smoke launchers extra ammo reinforce turret And APCR rounds what do you think
that's what I do with my tiger
this is an amazing guide. thanks a lot for your work :)
Great guide. Since I've start using my new knowledge of angling in offensive and defensive, my tanking skills got so much better.
I was even able to win 3vs1 tank fight, which I would not belive was even possible :D
Subscribed obvoiusly 🙂
Great video. One thing I noticed is that you leave tank to repair it near enemy infranty, dont do that, if enemy steal your tank your team dosent get tank replaising it untill it is destroied.
That's definitely a potential downside of getting out. I do my best to make sure there are no enemies nearby. The key is awareness.
As a tank main i can say that the biggest challenge in bfv whilst playing as a tank is actually getting into one before you can blink the tanks are allready chosen by other tank mains
I really want there to be a tank only gamemode in BF6
Or more tank slots for tank mains i really hope theres a bigger player count in BF6 maybe like 120 players so each side has more tanks on it and tbh for any player battelfeild fan or not 120 players would truley be chaotic and awesome
Great guide, thanks for the perspective.
2:41 beautiful play
Nice video and very helpfull to. Especialy the damage hitmarkers of the different tanks👍
Great guide man! Ive been looking for a video talking about tank weak spots!
Yo. This was a great video with helpful tips, damage infographic, and graphics describing the nuance of angle of attack. Quality video, quality production. Subbed and liked. Keep it up!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Good job on the video 👍
Hi Azura, I've just added the Japanese subtitle to this video and tank guide part 2 for I found those extremly helpful and wanted to share it my community. Please consider taking a look at Japanese subs and vailding it on the videos. Thanks!
I will take a look, thanks!!
Extremely useful, and well made video.
A lot of stuff that I already knew worked, but not exactly why it worked, more trial and error that gave me some of these strategies. This was a very well made video and gave me some tactics I look forward to trying. Completely shocked you have less than 1k subs, found you looking for Stug footage before everyone had it and glad I found your channel.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
You are the next up coming BF channel
Respect i enjoy your vids and you deserve all the subs :)
Great vids man! I'm subbed! Your video recording quality has gone up loads from your first videos, have you switched to a better capture card?
Actually it has to do with CZcams codec. I have upscaled the videos now so they look better.
@@AzuraProductions Thanks for the reply, they look crisp! Tanking has just started clicking with me and I'm enjoying it so your vids will be really helpful. Cheers!
Thanks for this video you just made a war thunder player consider buying this game on sale to come have a bit of fun.
Didn't tought there was mechanics such as armor angle and ricochet. This may actually be a selling point for me 😁
Haha yea definitely less robust in terms of dedicated tanking games but it is fun nonetheless. Definitely a great game if you can find it on sale.
@@AzuraProductions also, call me close minded but the lack of American and Japanese army definetly turned me off from buying it. I was so disapointed when i learnded that there wasen't going to be a M1 Garand in BF5 ahaha
Consider getting the game this fall when all of these should be coming
Great guide dude. Can you explain little bit how does the game calculate the angles of hit to benefit from those multis?
Missed the comment sorry. If it is at a right angle (the impact surface that's facing the incoming tank shell), then it's 90 degrees. Then if you shoot at the edge of the armor barely scraping it, then it would approach 0 degrees. If you have got a protractor or look up an image of a protractor then it may help you out.
Well thought guide with lot of tips and strategies. You earned a like and a subscriber!
This channel gives good information to be the best of your play in BF this should earn my sub and get more views. Cheer 👏
Azura, I'm sorry but the Valentine is a light tank. I know that it's the starter vehicle along with the Panzer IV, and that its easily misunderstood along with the QF 6 Pounder specialization, but it's an infantry tank designed to stick with infantry. It wasnt a very fast tank either, nor was the Churchill. It too was an infantry tank. However, the tank was too heavily armoured, and was considered a medium tank to some Canadian tank crews during the war, but it was designed a light tank/infantry tank.
Thank you for the info but I am just categorizing them as how they present in game.
I'm not trying to discriminate you for not knowing, I'm not those kind of people, I'm kindly reminding you.
@@MatthewTheRailfanner oh of course. They are definitely infantry support tanks. They are still the case in the game.
Awesome video I always apply most of these things before even watching the video but its good to see some people understand tanks way deeper than normal players like competitive tankers like me also good job.
Wonderful!
Very good.
Thank you for that guide.
Very useful, subscribed
Impressed. Amazing video! Great Job!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
excellent analysis and tips! thanks 😎
The tips are very helpfull thanks👍 Great vid 😊
Ik this is like a year later but what I do is I shoot at their tracks which does a crap ton of damage and hitting them from the side I hit the side chassis and from behind... just hit their butt
What tank should start as? Tanking has never been my forte... but I would like to shoot down some planes for those epic Battlefield moments, suggestions?
My favorite tanks would be the medium tanks, the panzer IV, Valentine and the Valentine Archer. While shooting down planes are cool and epic, the primary roles of tanks are to support your team and to kill other tanks. Either way, good luck with it and hope this helps you get better at tanking!
W0AH Gaming light or mediums are better cuz you can always back out of fight
@@AzuraProductions Thanks for the advice!
The Valentine Archer is so good at lv 0, try it in the GO Hannut. If you haven't unlocked it yet, Panzer IV and Valentine MKVIII are good options, they are not made of cardboard like the LightTanks and are not slow like a rock like the HeavyTanks.
For tiny maps such as Rottendam and Devastation use LightTanks or MedTanks, and DON'T DARE USING AA, OKAY?
For maps like that one of the big bridge (I never remember its name lmao), Hamada and Arras, you can use either MedTanks, AA if the enemy planes are too good or aren't being contested, or Heavy tanks (like the Tiger, the Sturmgeschütz IV or the Churchills)
In Aerodrome use MedTanks or Heavytanks and stay in the hills, it never fails. Same in Narvik.
In Panzerstorm all tanks works if you are good at using them, but I think that if you're a begginer you should not use the LightTanks. MedTanks and HeavyTanks should work.
The best tanks at level 0 are Valentine Archer, the Valentine MKVIII, the Panzer IV and the Tiger. (I haven't tried the Churchill GC or the P38 tho)
For the Valentine MKVIII go RMRR with the specializations, you'll increase you Rate of fire, damage and will have a ton of ammo.
For the Churchill go LMLL, use the Howitzer against infantry and the Hesh against tanks. You'll sacrify rate of fire and range, but you're going to get a lot of damage. The Howitzer does 22 damage aprox. against tanks and the Hesh does 40 damage against tanks. The Howitzer does 112 damage against infantry and have a blast radius of almost 8 metters, so it's quite difficult to miss a shot against infantry.
For the Valentine Archer go RMLM, why? Well, you'll never be in the frontline, so you'll not be able to use the AT mines, and you won't need the level 4 rounds because your default shot is enough for killing tanks.
For the Staghound you could go RRRM or RMLL.
For the Valentine AA go RMLL, it's jusg the better option you have.
For the ChurchillGC you should go RM, idk about the rest because I haven't tried it enough.
For the Panzer IV go LLLL, it's better than going RRRR. You could go RMLL if you really want to have the Zimmerit
For the Tiger go RMRR or RMRM. You'll need that level 2 M, believe me.
For the P38 I think you should go LM, idk about the rest because I haven't used in my life lmao.
For the Flakpanzer IV go LMLM and laugh at the planes that dare approaching to you.
Finally, for the Sturmgeschütz go RMRR or RMRM. You'll need the AT guns. Also, if infantry is going throwards you, get into the inside turret and kill them, it should not be so difficult if they aren't too away from you.
Your channel has been popping up lately the past week with tank guides. And I can't help but to watch and see how you decide to make the guides. I really enjoyed the examples you gave at the end of the video. With that being said I'll sub for my tank gameplay and guides. I only have a couple up to level 4 so I'll be working hard the next weeks or so leveling them up
Good luck, I actually haven't used the churchills that much either so I will have to give them a try!
@@AzuraProductions I've gotten more of the axis (German) tanks upgraded then I have Allies (Brittish)
日本語字幕ありがてぇ
Ive been looking for this for a long time. Can you do one for all 4 classes explosives
Tip nr 1:25 - dont you ever exit the vehicle to repair or escape death. You die with your tank instead of giving them a chance to steal it from your team.
This comes up quite often. I come from the days of BF3/BF4 and the only way to repair is to get out of the tank (other than waiting it out which sometime it is not possible). This is a complicated topic and there is no absolute right or wrong to this. Without going too much into this, I will say that it depends on lots of factors, what type of game mode, where you are, how good you are as a player, how aware you are, at which point in the game you are in...etc all play a role in your decision to whether get out or not. I do agree that getting out of the tank during a firefight to escape death is a no-go for 99% of the situation.
Good video, hitting the tracks frontally doing max side damage multipliers is so broken, especially for the Tiger with its wide tracks, the same will be true for T-34s and Panthers, etc.
yea it is kinda weird, not sure if that's intended but that seems to be the case for now.
The valatine archer always drives in reverse
Thanks for this I used
Great video love tank combat
You forgot to mention the most useful tip . If u want to enjoy tank gameplay in this game , u should almost never engage tanks but just infantries . Do not act just by you alone . tanks main goal is to support infantries breakthrough objectives and points . lets say for example , if you were to see a heavily fortified enemy objectives that seems nearly impossible for your teammates to breakthrough , thats when you step up and support them , hence its purpose in warfare , its main goal is to SUPPORT infantry but almost to never fight enemy tanks like you were to see in movies . I have a lot of experience with tanks in this game i believe, i have a good over 2800 kills with tanks and would have to say playing this way guaranteed me to achieve kd over 9 almost every single round . period .
Absolutely man, the main purpose of tanks in general is to support infantry, fighting tanks when there are enemy tanks around. These are covered in aka Art's video so didn't want to repeat too much. But people should play tanks how they want to play, some like to kill enemy tanks, some like to farm infantry kills.
When u a huge tanker and been knowing how to do pretty much everything he said since BF2😎
Wish Dice made it as requirement to be proficient in one tank to move on to the next size tank. Be like 25 or 50 tank on tank kills with a small tank. Then in a medium 50-75 tank on tank kills before move to a heavy tank. Nothing worse than a noob grabbing a Tiger and 10 seconds over the hill his turret is exploding. If you leave a tank empty and it gets captured a penalty of a couple games ( no tanking Asshole for you ) Plenty of games see a empty tank and it gets captured and used against your team. Then last, if you blow up your teams ammo dump for grins and giggles you die instantly & lose .5 on KD.
i hate that when i turn my turret to the left or right while driving, my rank will go to that direction while i just wanna go forwards
Weird does that happen all the time?
Biggest advice I have is to get a second team member with you too
Handy vid! Subbed.
Thank you
Has anyone actually figured out what advantages the HEAT-T/HESH rounds have over the standard rounds or APCR?
Hesh and the heat rounds do even more damage than the apcr rounds but they travel slower and has more drop.
What do you think of the new grand op it’s great for tanks I really love it
It is pretty epic with so many tanks
Really helpful guide ! But I would a more in depth guide about ricochets etc , like the parts of tanks that have the highest glancing blow chances etc
I have yet to find the actual value of the chance of ricochet, so I have held off on it at this time.
cool guide. tnx
Oh...oh no. That Churchill Crocodile
Weak spots on the archer? That thing is OP and like taking them out with the German tanks
I have a comment listed here that shows the weak spot of the Archer
@@AzuraProductions just now saw it, thanks man
It's the quickybaby of battlefield hah
Good stuff bud.
You just earned a Sub!
Great content! Please keep it up!
Hope to see you on the Battlefield!

Great video 👍
Good vid
I shoot someone over 10
Times for 15 damage no repairs besides the emergency and he lives, he shoots me twice in the front of the hull and I’m almost
Dead and disabled.
"this guy used similar color camo to hide from me until it was too late"
Clip of you getting shot thrice from behind while you boogie straight ahead full speed & never once moving your turret
The reason for changing in was just cause we were going to lose the round if the flags weren't captured so that was the last ditch effort. Lol
The hit indicators are broken so the ones showing he got shot from the back can be wrong
i dont want to Level up or Rank, just want to get into one?? how can you obtain a Tank in BF5 ? i saw the wheel icon and assumed i can now play a Tank. Hope you dont have to Grind or Rank up just to play a Tank?
I normally just snipe if I can
Is there a setting that allows you to look around your tank in 3rd person without moving which direction the gun is turning? Like if I want to keep the gun pointed at a door, but need to look behind me quick, can i do this without moving the sights from the door?
Hold down aim down sight
@@AzuraProductions Thanks! Subscribed.
Loved it, this was sooo useful and didn't take to much time unlike other videos.
Also, here are the stats of all tank's guns (it wasn't written by me, I found it on Reddit):
docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1D7wkyXjO1XzYwqbkRb56J0UfAHUdS8GF-XHJRbzopsk/edit?usp=drivesdk
_HE_Shell are the default guns of the tanks, whilst if I'm not misrecalling it, _AT_Shell are the HEAT and other lv4 tank rounds.
The music at 11 min ~ is also on the start introduction to BFV but I can't find it on the soundtrack. Do you know which it is? I like the slightly altered theme.
BFV Legacy Theme
Great vid though i would have liked a description of best shell in ecery situation
In most situations, if you can land a good perpendicular shot, AP rounds will do more damage. Most of them also have a lower drop. HE rounds will bounce less, better against infantry with the higher splash damage but overall less damage to tanks.
What about heat rounds? (tiger)
Man I wish I got to try tank battles, I just have 3 at and 1 medic squads just chase my tank around the whole map and ruin the game for. Iv hade the game for 6 days and still havent had any fun in tanks what so ever
The more you use it, the more comfortable you will be with it
Excape
id buy bfv just for that tank map
6:20 stealth tanks confirmed?
Textures kept bugging out, tried to capture it like 4 times, all bugged so nothing I could do about it lol. DICE pls
basically alt cntrl del everything from bf3 bf4 bf1.....😐
Gotta be careful using that hill method as cover as the rounds do have an arch to the trajectory, i have destroyed many of tanks by letting rounds fall over the hill.
That 3 damage to the tiger... oof
So where is the weak spot on the archer
I left a comment about that here, see if you can find it.
feel hard to find a good gunner in random squad
Love the vid, very informative! Will you be doing a vid over the different ammo types?
The codes in the game are bit confusing so I will have to see, better to not make anything than spread false info.
another food tip : focus fire
I hate it when my rounds rake or shake.
basically if you play world of tanks then your sorted
THEY ARE RHE PANZER ELITE
