Tank variants and the best versions Battlefield 1 Guide

Light Tank

The strategy for using the light tank is much different than the strategy for using the heavy tank, despite them having the same armaments - Tank variants and the best versions - Grenades, Tanks and Planes - Battlefield 1 Game Guide

The strategy for using the light tank is much different than the strategy for using the heavy tank, despite them having the same armaments. You have to move around much more, as your armour is thinner and you can be immobilized before you can accomplish anything. Use the largest strength of your machine, which is mobility. Drive aggressively into a location with multiple enemies, eliminate a few of them and then quickly retreat to a safe position to repair your vehicle.

If you are in a duel against a heavy tank on a short distance, you can win it by using a certain strategy. You have to drive right up to it and position yourself on its flank or behind it, in such a way that it will not be able to fire back at you. Keep circling around it, until you destroy the tank.

The light tank has the weakest armour on its back, where the engine is - Tank variants and the best versions - Grenades, Tanks and Planes - Battlefield 1 Game Guide

The light tank has the weakest armour on its back, where the engine is. However, the part which protects the engine is two times as strong, which makes it the strongest part of this tank. Not many know of this fact, which is why driving in reverse, with the front facing the enemy is a viable tactic. When using it, make sure that you are driving in a straight line towards the enemy target, as he will then hit the part of the armour that is protecting the engine. If the player from the hostile teams knows this, he will fire above this point, therefore hitting the engine itself.

Heavy Tank

The heavy tank is much more effective when playing on your own, but can fit up to six players - Tank variants and the best versions - Grenades, Tanks and Planes - Battlefield 1 Game Guide

The heavy tank is much more effective when playing on your own, but can fit up to six players. The best version is the Flamethrower tank, armed with a 57mm AT and case cannon, which is the standard arsenal available for the driver. On the sides there are heavy machine guns, and in the back you can find flame throwers. They are the reason for this tank being very effective. The flame throwers can easily clear surrounding buildings, without even seeing the enemies.

The greatest drawback of the heavy tank is the inability to rotate the barrel of its cannon - Tank variants and the best versions - Grenades, Tanks and Planes - Battlefield 1 Game Guide

The greatest drawback of the heavy tank is the inability to rotate the barrel of its cannon. It can only be done on a very narrow angle. This is why you need to pay a lot of attention to this fact at all times and face the battlefield with the front of your tank. If you are retreating, use reverse, even if you do not see the terrain behind you very well.

Do not drive too close to the actual combat, as this narrows your field of view. An assault with dynamite can run up to you very easily, and you will have no way of shooting him. Driving right into the heat of battle is only viable, when you have at least two gunners with you.

Landship

The landship should be your choice only when you are playing with friends, with whom you are communicating via voice chat - Tank variants and the best versions - Grenades, Tanks and Planes - Battlefield 1 Game Guide

The landship should be your choice only when you are playing with friends, with whom you are communicating via voice chat. The driver has only light anti-infantry equipment at his disposal here. The biggest damage is delivered by the players on the sides of the vehicle, who have access to 57mm AT and case cannons. The best version is the squad support landship, in which the driver has access to LMGs in the front and the back, and each of the sides has an additional LMG emplacement for a player.

As the driver, remember that the players using the cannons have a limited field of view - Tank variants and the best versions - Grenades, Tanks and Planes - Battlefield 1 Game Guide

As the driver, remember that the players using the cannons have a limited field of view. Position your tank in a way that will allow them to hit as many enemies as possible. The perfect position will mean that both the gunners on the left and the right side of your tank have targets to shoot at.

If you are a gunner, be sure to pick the support class and equip a repair tool. It is absolutely necessary, especially in the squad support landship, where the driver can only repair the tracks.
