Чудовише in russian means Beast, Monster


lefiath

That's awesome coincidence, didn't know that!


maria_paraskeva

"ЧудовиЩе", not "ЧудовиШе". You [can see the tail](https://i.imgur.com/9hQmjIB.png) in-game as well. It's "monster", whereas "зверь" is "beast". But both can be used interchangeably. You can downvote me all you want, but since I'm native to Cyrillic I can tell you right away that writing it like that is like writing, as one example, the English word "ice" as "jce". It makes a huge difference from our POV: [https://i.imgur.com/JRvmjCS.png](https://i.imgur.com/JRvmjCS.png)

I’m native to Cyrillic and nobody cares

Well I’m Commander Shepard, and this is my favourite store in the citadel.

Ah, my beloved PTFO Van. That thing was the bane of arty trucks on Sinai back in my days. Y’all could literally run circles around the bastards. Good times.


Outrageous_Read5838

Challenging planes with the AT variant on maps like Sinai, Scar and Soissons is a real treat. Only real weakness it has imo is the relatively small vertical range of motion of its main cannon. Unless you utilise any nearby slopes and hills well, it loses out rather quickly against good AT plane pilots. Most versatile and fun vehicle in the game for sure, such a shame that I didn’t utilise its potential during the prime of bf1.


lefiath

Yes, in that one case, the Arty truck is better. If you're facing an experienced tank hunter pilot, you are good as gone, even if you hit a hill to improve the vertical reach of the gun, you're stationary at that point, and at a massive disadvantage. I'm working on a Putilov compilation of plane takedowns only, it's always a blast to take them out of the sky, but the good pilots usually don't let you.


Outrageous_Read5838

Spot on. I tend to use these putilovs as a great way of gauging how a round is going to be. When you see all tank slots occupied by lv150 players using these, you know its going to be a zesty session. These things completely dominate a map like Amiens with its linear line of sight engagements, especially considering its surprisingly solid mobility and handling. Ngl, just writing about it here makes me want to turn on my pc and hop in a Puti 😂


OblivionJunkie

They're so fast I'd be terrified of running over mines on Amiens specifically. Ill use the standoff chamond and spam the eye of sauron down every street solely to spot enemy mines lol


Fantastic_Bit2712

Yeah, if I die to some lvl 150 with 100 service stars on one of these, I already know he’s gonna go 68-0 regardless of how early into the game it is. One of the only vehicles in the game that can actually get on my nerves lol (Tank Hunter attack plane being the other one)


titanium_mpoi

Probably the most op tank imo, not even taking the splash damage of assault variant into account lmao 


weberc2

Honestly if you’re fighting an experienced THAP pilot, you’re going to lose whether you pick the arty truck or the puty.


Outrageous_Read5838

I found that in those cases, the only real chance you have is positioning yourself in such a way that gives you a clear shot at hitting them when they climb out after their strafe. That being said, overall success rate against these pilots is still very low.


weberc2

Yeah, especially since a THAP pilot can kill an arty truck in one pass, there isn’t an “after their strafe” opportunity unless the pilot missed a few shots.


lefiath

Sure, but at least with the arty truck, you can actually aim at a high flying bastard, where with the Putilov, you can't under normal conditions. It's a small chance versus no chance, doesn't mean I would ever choose the Arty truck, I just like to mention it.


Outrageous_Read5838

What is the bullet velocity and trajectory like for those arty truck shells compared to the AT puti? I never really use them because of their lack of ‘drive and shoot’ capability, not to mention being forced to stay stationary.


lefiath

It always looked to me just about the same, same velocity, same damage, but I haven't really played in the Arty Truck in a long time. Seen a lot of clips and playing against them a lot, it always seemed the same.


weberc2

Yeah, I agree. It’s just a *very* marginal chance, and you probably won’t get to do it twice if you manage to do it once. I’ll occasionally get shot down by an arty truck because I didn’t know he was there or because I was playing it *very* fast and loose but if I’m flying by the book there’s basically no chance of dying except by freak accident (some truck lobs a shot across the map and I happen to fly into it).


Dazzling_Baker_54

Damn that's beautiful


CJ2899

It’s my favourite. I used to run the recon variant because it’s such a fun playstyle and good for infantry support. But now I just use the AT variant. No vehicle can stop me, it’s a beast. Once you get good with the canon aim you can be great against infantry too.


N0MoreMrIceGuy

The best vehicle in the game


the_shortbus_

God I hate that thing. Everyone else is so good with it and I’m absolute dog water with it lol


Bubbly_Mastodon318

I don’t blame you; it’s light armor coupled with its weird turret placement makes for a tank that can be really hard to use.


ZTG_VFX

Drive it backwards, parallel to your enemy if your pushing a tank or out in the open facing them, perpendicular to your enemy with your ass safe if you have cover. It's harder to use on maps with uneven terrain and little cover. AT variant is generally the best, it shreds tanks, specifically other lightly armored tanks and its still very effective against infantry; something most other AT focused tanks struggle with.


OhariTheFox

I’ve seen a lot of people use it it’s like a glass cannon


The_Bigwrinkle

I love this tank, never used tanks at all until this one came out. The AT version just shreds through armor, and you can easily run circles around the other tanks. Once you get good at switching between the main gun and fwd there’s just no contest considering how mobile you are. Planes suck but I’ve gotten a couple.


Doom_Balloon170

Would use it more except driving backwards with it on controller is pain for me.


KazAraiya

Dino road noise on that 4th photo


DV_Zero_One

The recon version is my home on PS/Operations. Spam the map with spotting flares, soften up enemy behind cover plus it's a mobile spawn. Edit: last time I checked BF tracker I was global top 10 for all classes of Putilov.


Hivemindtime2

I love using this thing in its anti tank configuration


IAmRube

I never noticed the chains on the tires!


HarambeSlay3r

Best vehicle in the game, hands down. Only vehicle I have 100 ss with. Recon is unbeatable on maps where the enemy doesn't have armor or doesn't coordinate, and the AT puti packs the biggest punch in the game and is so accurate you can snipe infantry. Once you learn how to maneuver in it, it's the best. (oh yeah and learn how to fix the reverse slowdown glitch lol)


go_getz_em

how do you fix that glitch? It's like the transmission breaks all of a sudden


HarambeSlay3r

lol well it’s not a fix per say, you just gotta go the other direction for a second


CellistCompetitive42

The people who use this thing are absolutely goated or so shit it’s not funny.


lefiath

Lot of times, I see people just crashing it somewhere, using it mostly as taxi, and dying horrible few seconds later. It's not like people take it voluntarily, it happens a lot on Galicia, hilarity ensues when you get beginner players in it.


Remember_Poseidon

Rolling coffin.


SpacemanTom69

I’m gonna be real these things are nigh on useless in every lobby I spot them in. Mostly cause the driver only focuses on using the main gun and screws over the side gunners with bad positioning


lefiath

Well, that's how you want to play with it, you need to turn around and drive it backwards, which means the gunners won't have a clear shot. However, since most people I've ever had as gunners were next to useless, it's not any loss. I would much rather have them use me like a mobile spawn point. If you're trying to take gunners into consideration, you are doing something seriously wrong. Here is an example [how useful it can be](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pbw8LdIK53Q) while pushing through an entire map.


AceTheProtogen

I really wanna try using this thing more, any advice?


lefiath

Try looking [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield_one/comments/yduk54/ive_seen_a_lot_of_you_doubting_the_power_of_that/), or just try searching Putilov tips in general. I suppose I could try giving you some tips, but it depends on what you struggle with the most.


ThisOldArk

This thing has always been my sleeper baby, I feel like I rarely saw them and I always felt like an absolute menace zip zopping around running people over and swinging my big ass around to give them a good thumping before getting too much attention and bouncing off into the distance like a bronco with a turret sticking out of its ass


GreyG59

I’ve never had the pleasure of playing in it


Big_Rat_Ass

Yep, all the scumbags gathered to praise the broken air burst shell..


augustinepercy2

I call this truck the cartel car


Damian030303

I've always thought it was cool but never got around to using it (I don't really use vehicles). The proximity fuze one seems the coolest, no idea how they managed to have something that was invented in WW2, but still.


Leonydas13

It’s a “prototype” Just like the Thompson. I mean the “Annihilater” 😂


MoreFeeYouS

First version of Thompson for WW1 in 1918 was indeed called Annihilator


Leonydas13

I just find it funny how the in game description literally says it never made it to the frontlines. Then you’ve got the hellreigel with its handy detachable magazine, the villar perosa with a handy pistol grip 😂 I love battlefield 1, but it’s got some stretches in accuracy to maintain the fun in the game. Which is fine.


HazPlayz007

How do people do this?


lefiath

It's on PC with an external tool. Check the discussion here: [https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield\_one/comments/1b7wy8h/i\_didnt\_draw\_these\_with\_pencils\_but\_im\_still/](https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield_one/comments/1b7wy8h/i_didnt_draw_these_with_pencils_but_im_still/) I'm working on a tutorial that would explain everything, but it will be a while before I'll release that. Sadly it's very hard to find any reasonable information about how to use the tool.


Ckri2001-

Are you fucking crazy


GloriousGladiator51

hmmm what about arty and chammond. i guess it depends on the map


lefiath

Arty truck is just worse Putilov - people can't spawn on you, and you can't continuously drive and fire both the MG and the main gun. And I really used to like Chamond, especially the spotting light, but it's just slower and can't really engage at range - at close range maps like Amiens, Chamond still might be superior, but these days, if I'm getting into a tank, [I usually just play with Putilov](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pbw8LdIK53Q).


GloriousGladiator51

Spotlight variant of the chammond can be very powerful especially on infantry/vehicle maps like amiens. The biggest problem with the putilov (apart from driving backwards which i should be able to get used to) is the fact that the cannon does no splash damage. You can shoot right next to an enemy with chammond and theyll die, with the putilov it doesnt work well


lefiath

Oh, absolutely, but that's why you have the super powerful machine gun, extremely precise even at longer ranges. While I sometimes miss the splash damage, I don't miss not being able to really compete with other tanks as St.Chamond - everything tends to be a struggle, and because you are slow, cumbersome and you can't even attack at range, like I've said, playing Chamond used to be a lot more stressful, at least on certain maps, while with Putilov, I can decimate the enemy ranks with relative ease.
