Now this is some good fucking shit! Good driver, good gunner, good commander.


deffbreth

Someone using the hwm as intended? That's not allowed! Get back in that tank line!


SecretBismarck

im honestly interested to hear from the other side how it felt to face us in Howl county and Clanshead valley today since the tank is so far out of meta and we approached from the side or the back every time


deffbreth

Havnt been there so couldn't tell you. But this was a good video on how to use the HWM. So kudos


MissionDifficulty306

I was the guy asking for fuel, thanks for helping us!


MrBean1001

Highwayman... good?


SgtHippie

I think you were in the HWM we met when we tried to partisan in a kranescka. I got really scared when i saw you yesterday near the border and boosted away right past you.


SecretBismarck

Lol good call, we ate kraneskas for breakfast plus HwM can outrun it offroad


BlueHym

Man. Wish I had good RNG like you guys have. I can't say much since I'm often the driver but Lady Luck just doesn't bless me or the random gunners I kidnap with her grace. :(


SecretBismarck

The trick is to not go full auto immedietly but to tap it so you maintain accuracy, that way you will be able to put hits on a subsystem and then go full auto for damage once subsystem is disabled, the video shows the most critical successes but i can tell you most of the time i was prepared to just boost out of there if we didnt menage to disable anything in a couple of seconds Another thing i can tell you is that coming up from side or behind lead to much more success especially on low armor, the more shots pen the bigger chance to disable

It seems like a great tank to use in the open, which is very different to a lot of warden tanks. Which might be where the "it sucks" view comes from. I also think its too expensive, but these days that kinda means very little with the amount of resources and players. Glad you're having fun!


_-Deliverance-_

There is a technique for aiming with an MG or 20mm, most importantly aiming behind the person you want to hit. If ppl don't understand that it could be part of your problem


FriendlyLeader4782

Is the old wiggling tactic still viable?


Secret-Exploration

Lol

Many may disagree with me here but I think HWM's cost right now is too much. It needs to have its Rmat cost reduced 160 maybe 155 even. Then it will be in a really good spot in terms of an excellent flank tank! I honestly don't think anything really needs tweaking following the price reduction. The tank feels great to drive and gun. Driving it was the most fun I've had tanking in foxhole in ages.


SecretBismarck

I think the devs increased the price because its a niche tank and thus should be great in its role with cost to offset it. I think they were right in that regard, i would rather have a tank that is bit more expensive and a bit more powerfull for a niche role. Giving us few more rounds in the mag and a bit more accuracy for those extra few rmats would give more leeway for less experienced crews


peoplearestrange151

That looks like awesome fun!


LurchTheBastard

Fake video. Didn't you know the Highwayman can't even kill trucks?


Uiauia

The Highwayman is everything the outlaw should be, a proper flanking tank.Plus have in mind that that salty streamer's "HWM can't kill a truck" **stupidity** is because **AT type of damage is really bad against any non armored vics (trucks included)** that includesevery AT rifle in the game, you are better off using HE vs unnarmored.Making these arguments only show how little of the game these wannabes understand.Against tanks **AT dmg is KING**. So the HWM is very good against armored vics and faster than a Kranesca offroad. Very good tank giving the warden side more options to use mobility and flanking to win fights


SecretBismarck

I agree, while i think HwM is very slightly underpowered against other tanks and could benefit from bit bigger mag and more accuracy for its cost ,its far from useless Utillity wise the use is immense, as you said it can outrun kranesca offroad but it also has great fuel economy and it can boost for a while, multiple times teammates were like "BOOST BOOST BOOST" and i was like "im already boosting!" It wasnt that we were slow but that i was boosting for so long they taught it was its normal speed lol


Uiauia

Well seeing that you can solo Falchions and probably Spathas 1 on 1 I dont know if it really needs a Buff. Seems to be performing its task pretty well does it not? The only thing I would change is the sound of the autocannon. It should have a meaner sound to it. Think Mechwarrior autocannons hehe


SecretBismarck

when soloing there is a lot of luck involved, especially regarding the amount of armor enemy has and if you can come up to the side/rear combined with how well they manouvre we basically ditched attacking from the front (we even lost 1v1 vs kraneska once because it faced front towards us and kept penning us while we kept bouncing altho the gunner was new so that played in a bit), other major factor is how fast enemy help comes, we flanked and were shooting unmanned full armor quadiche from the side near a relic base and help came before we could even disable it because of the bounces. If the mag was a bit bigger it would play better into hit and run tactics


xXFirebladeXx321

Wardens downvoting because this video is fake, and HWM is a trash tank that needs 500 buffs so it can kill Bardiches frontally in line combat lol. Seriously, just use the ATR outlaw, its epic flanker tank.


SecretBismarck

nah thats pessimistic, upvote rate sits at 96% right now, its an epic flanker with a top hat but that accuracy and mag could use some improvement


xXFirebladeXx321

People can't understand the obvious sarcasm in my above comment bismarck.


SecretBismarck

oof i brainfarted a bit on this one, i know there are many people in this salt mine who do think similar so it was 50/50


gruender_stays_foxy

sad that it needs greenman switching team to show that the HWM is a good tool.


vtcmonkey

Downvoting because 7 minute clip


HKO2006

You can just watch the first 10s and then say HWM needs a buff kek /s


strangegloveactual

O7 great vid, well played. I hadn't heard the 'oompah band of death' sound of this little beauty before, scarey funny. Shout out to our Antipodean friends too, haven't met a bad one yet.


Nextra123

Hey, any chance you can upload this to youtube? I'd like to add a link to it on the Highwayman's wiki page to showcase proper usage.


SecretBismarck

i can give you the video but im not keen on uploading it to yt, i can even link it with previous compilation so its 1 video If you need more content for the wiki i also have videos of how to cheese tripod weapons into bunkers
