You are mistaken , It has the same camo moving as when it's stationary , nothing to do with firing. Something that only light tanks have , All tanks have always lost camo firing that's always been the case from early beta.

No one ever mentions how the 150mm is lighter and allows the Borsig to get slightly above 11hp/t, while the 128mm weighs it down to have a hp/t ratio of just under 10...

One notable advantage with the 15cm over the 128mm you missed, the weight. You actually get a slightly better hp/t ratio when using the 15cm due to its shorter length.

this is my second favorite tank in the whole game, sometimes i change my gun depending on my mood. also the 152mm allows your tank more acceleration because its lighter.

The big gun also slightly improve the mobility. The main reason for driving backwards is because of the front mounted engine, any shot to its front sprocket wheel will knock out your track and engine and you will be screwed, so given that you will definitely take damage, you should always think about protecting engine.

Although I am free to play I use the 150mm I love HE for the wheeled vehicles. I got tired of their tires eating my shells. He on the other hand will damage them even if it hits a tire or on the ground next to them. A fun side effect is it often detonates their ammo rack or sets them on fire.

[@sunbear1310]

For any new players that are completely confused about this hopefully this helps. A tank with .06 dispersion on turret traverse but 2.2sec aim time will actually aim faster when its stationary then a tank that has .12 dispersion on turret dispersion with 1sec aim time.

[@justdoingitjim7095]

I opted for the larger gun on some of my higher tier tanks, because I seem to always be bottom tier in most of my games. With the smaller gun I can't pen anything without using gold rounds, but with the larger gun I'm firing HE rounds. While the damage is a lot smaller, just being able to damage those upper tiers at all is an improvement!

[@A1soldiersaint]

The RHM with the 150mm is one of my favorite tanks in the game. Have thousands of battles on it with the 150mm. Love all three rounds, the AP, the HEAT, and the HE. All three rounds are fantastic. And spamming HE in the RHM is priceless. Incidentally, the tier 9 WT auf Pz is my all time favorite.

[@gunnergoz]

Interesting vid since I'm right now playing this tank and experimenting with the two guns. I love that I can derp effectively with the 150 and snipe with the 128. At my age and inclinations, I can set up the tank to suit my mood or capacity, since some days the aches and pains of age make precision sniping difficult. So QB's comments match my own observations, which is nice validation since I have nowhere near the same experience level as QB does. Love your vids, QB, keep up the good work!

@Evander Daniel , And also consider to not show the front of the tank to anyone since this tank gets a fragile engine. Imagine the enemy tracked you, and then they shoot your engine = dead borsig 🤷🏻‍♂️ the 150mm gun is actually lighter, you can feel the difference in the mobility between the 128mm and 150mm gun in summary, for me after more than 1K games in this tank: - 128mm: to get the mastery badge, gun marks and if you want to be really competitive. - 150mm: I mainly use it simply for fun. I mean the tank is sneaky, the 150 gun is perfect to get those big numbers and HE spamming party 😅

Imo, bigger is better. My reason being that in a gunnery duel, you don't need to worry about sitting out of cover and trading with someone, you can pop out, take your shot, hit him with big alpha and then sit in cover while you reload. Now of course, that doesn't work for certain tanks, in some cases you will have to dogfight/brawl in close quarters, and that's where smaller, faster reloading guns could come out on top.

I alternated every other game or so on the borsig which I found fun, but ineffective for getting used to a certain play style since they are slightly different feels.

[@matthewfuhrken9835]

you were talking about camo nets and stuff on the tank, another consideration, there is another factor the guns on that tank.... guns with a muzzle break break camo when firing more than ones without it. the higher cal gun on the rhm doesn't have a muzzle break, the lower cal does. While I dont know the raw value, the higher cal is likely being offset by the last of a muzzle break.

[@MmeAdmin]

QB, it is ok to talk about girth. 15cm length isn't really anything to write home about but diameter, that's impressive

Just grabbed the Borsig last night and it could be my new favourite tank! I wasn't getting on with my higher Tier US TDs and have been working my way through the German line.

[@geraldlafleur7776]

How you ended up with 2 games where a wheeled vehicle didn't circle you and blast toy into kingdom come is what amazes me.

[@HuyV]

You can sometimes bounce things in this tank by using your gunbarrel as a shield. Mostly only doable for slower shells and far enough distances to get more time to move the gun. Or facehug situations where you can just point your gun through the enemy barrel to block the shell. Might kill your gun though, but better than taking dmg right?

[@ecpgieicg]

2:00 except there is no such thing as "full bloom out". The 'bloom' is dependent on vehicle speed relative to top speed, traverse, turret rotation (but not a step-wise function) and damage on gun. A "full bloom" that includes the max value of everything doesn't really represent a typical aiming process.

[@idunbeezasmart1]

Quicky should've switched to HE in the first game when there were only 2 arty and 2 light armored td's on the enemy team.

[@mrpolskija]

I played a long time with the small gun, but it sort of felt forced and tedious. After I tried out the big gun, I never went back. It's just such a thrill to punch holes into enemies with the big boomer.

[@jasonguest5820]

I'm playing this tank now, the big gun is totally useless, can't hit a damn thing even at 100m, and that's suicidal. With the armor creep as well, the standard rounds do nothing unless shooting at arty or rear lower plates. I had like three 0 damage victories in a row despite shooting half my ammo. It gets the biggest F.

[@montagistkacke7431]

Bought the big gun as soon as I had enough exp, so I played enough battles to know the "small" one as well. Would always go for the big gun now. Mostly stay with the heavy tanks with it, wait until the enemy tanks fire, then peak around a corner and put 750 damage into the enemy. Incredibly satisfying (+ the gun sound makes it even more satisfying). And If 215 mm of pen isnt enough, your HEAT has 334. Thats enough for sure. Im even making nice amounts of credits with this gun. Didnt really expect that at more than 1k cost for a standard round and 4k for gold. The smaller one still was more profitable tho, but far less fun.

I actually dont think that the E 25 is op, well, at least in tier 8 matchups. 194 pen on its premium rounds is still not enough to penetrate tier 8 heavy tanks reliably (if at all), so yeah, its preferential mm is justified. And I can understand that it is very strong when it is top tier, but I rather play the Scorpion, which has 217 pen on its standard rounds and even 275 with its premium ammo.

If you want to play a unique vehicle at tier 8 that can play aggressively with 750 alpha, the borsig is the only tank that can do that. That is it's niche and is what makes some tanks more fun or worth playing over their contemporaries. Take the WT pz4, with the 750 gun its just a worse T30 in every way. But with the 560 alpha gun its a jagtiger with a turret.
