[@heenthousiast383]

@@kutejikashi1959 oh also, Blitz is probably much better becouse most the premiums are just alternatives to their techree counterparts (Annihilator and Smasher not counted, becouse WG intended them to be broken becouse 1st of all Smasher was really expensive, so they didnt wanted to dissapoint the players, and Annihilator was a Premium, and it was released in halloween which is the op tank season, and at least in Blitz, WG doesnt allow themselfs to buff or nerf premium tanks, plus it was never sold again) take for example Progetto 46. on WoT its just an overall better P44 in every aspect, but in Blitz its main differance from P44 is the speed and the size. P44 has a overall better gun but is worsely armored meanwhile Progetto has a higher avg and top speed, as well as better turret armour to negate the worse gun stats.

Well, people seem to forget what was the second reason why vk 28.01 was such a special tank these days. Not only thanks to its troll gun, but also thanks to the fact, that it was German, so it was heavy and with its speed it could ram other light into non-existence. I solely researched this vehicle just for the troll, and it was sad, when they removed it:/

[@strategicmind2652]

I remember taking out an entire Black Prince in my VK28.01 back in 9.16.1 I think I aced the VK28.01 at least 10 times before WG nerfed it.

We are fully aware of this!

[@robertkraciuk2753]

uuh, you seem to forget that youre driving a tank here, ramming is an essential part of the vk 28.01 playstyle

[@agentketchup4635]

nowadays, loading standard AP works perfectly against other light tanks. its super good for hunting down the enemy teams lights so you dont really need heat. and the ramming potential is absolutely amazing.

[@rugged_raffia7854]

Is there a clip of zwhatsh getting 15k assist? Also love everything you guys do keep it up

[@AwesomeEpicGuys]

There is an old video from Edvans perspective where Zwhatsh gets 15k spotting in the Rheinmetall Panzerwagen on Prokhorovka. He basically parks in the typical light tank meme bush and lights up half the enemy team in a full tier 10 battle. And yet we somehow manage to lose. However, it would probably take us hours to find this clip. I think it's part of an old "Another Day in World of Tanks" episode, but not sure. Sorry :(

[@rugged_raffia7854]

All good, I’ll just enjoy other videos

[@Akuretaki_Nikolay]

Happy you liked it! We felt that the video was rushed a bit, but I guess it turned out ok!

[@anihilator7066]

Ahh... Stealing VK.28.01's 105mm gun was the only reason of me complaining of changes in Light Tanks years ago. I recommend you to go full dmg on this tank and play pretty aggressive with flanking maneuvers. Also recomend you to improve it's RAMMING abillity as much as possible. This thing is heavy as shit i made today on the toilet, that could litterally ram to death any other light tank on its tier back in the day(now with the hp buffus it might be a little difficult but against lower tiers, why not?). I used to play with HE only but not sure if it is still playable that way anymore.

[@reinbeers5322]

The SP I C also lost its 3 round autoloader, the only thing that made its firepower somewhat decent.

Hey AEG, since the Yoh tanks are being tested in PC version but has already been in Blitz for a while now, are you guys gonna do what DezGamez did and give them a try? And maybe Japanese TDs as well since we also have them.

We are very busy as it is to keep up with the new stuff added to the live server. This is just a hobby to us after all. Not a job. We usually don't even bother with test servers or covering news. We will probably just wait for the tanks to appear on the live server to have an opinion about them. We might give Blitz another go in the future though. But not anytime soon the way things currently look. We just don't have time :(

I set mine up for ramming and gun work. I don't spot in it, as it's terrible for that. A penetrating hit + a ram will take out any tier 6 tank. :D I was less than 50xp away from earning a Mastery Badge on it the first time I played it. I was bummed. Now that more people are playing it, it's become much harder to get an Ace in it.

[@lp11thewolf79]

In my pov it's like playing a speedy pz4h but putting your stupidity into the tank

A lot of players are calling this tank OP if you shoot a lot of HEAT.

[@TehButterflyEffect]

HEAT does less damage since the rework, surprisingly. HE will do 10 damage while HEAT will do 0.

[@mdellyd]

@@TehButterflyEffect You are completely CLUELESS. HEAT has not been changed and has never done splash damage. You probably mean HESH, but with you, who knows? You may want to study the game mechanics a little more since you like CAMO NETS and you think HEAT used to do splash damage.

[@Azuzu_Komagome]

There was a match today which both teams were all lights

[@karlpeterson9334]

[@ze_munkel]

1. Idk about y'all but i use vents, gun rammer and optics with 28 he/14 heat/no AP cause AP just sucks. 2. In my opinion i think that the vk 105 is pretty good and funny to play compared to how sad the other reward tanks are...i litteraly sold them (s.hellcat/s.chaffe/t-50-2) cause they are not that special... s.chaffe=t37, t-50-2=mt-25, and if we can force it s.hellcat=Challenger...we dont have a light tanks with derp gun at that low tier. 3. Also about the HE rework...the only time when im mad is when i hit the gun mantle and deal 0 dmg...now you need to aim at soft places instead of "abusing" the old mechanic...like in the example with e100 causing a burning shoot to an s.conq when they shoot at the cupola...that was not oke in my opinion. 4. I found it funny when i hit an tier 8 ht for 30 dmg cause i just feel like an mosquito...ur just annoying them 5. You need to know the tank limits first...that why i already got an ace with 2.6k dmg/2.2k spoted in a tier 8 MM...i had luck, i will not deny that....but still, if you don't know the tank limt then ur just gonna die first. i think that's all i have to say for now at least

[@johnfoulk3448]

At least it works for some of us. The T-34 1941 has not one single usable quality. Not one.

@@AwesomeEpicGuys nice edits bro guys i like your joys its keeps up

[@csucskos]

I haven't played the new VK but I played the PZ4H with the same gun after the HE nerfs so I think I have a handle on how it behaves. It's an HE derp, why do you expect to snipe with it? And by the way it's a light, your first objective should be to spot. I know, I know in todays meta even lights can beat heavies and are expected to but for me the VK was always a scout with a great anti-scout gun. You can pen enemy lights with HEAT or some with HE. I'm looking forward playing this. (And btw have you played the tech tree variant? I'm pretty sure this derp deals more damage than that on average.)

It's not looking a gift horse in the mouth to notice that it's a horse that you used to love before they took it away. They trotted it out with a dyed coat to hide the grey hairs, they cut its balls off and gave us a pair of rose colored nostalgia glasses to view it with. At least it's better than the Valiant.
