The Hidden Power of the most Overlooked Tier X Heavy Tank in World of Tanks Blitz!

[@colinmilne4634]

EU meta - you are right, there isn’t one - tactics, map knowledge went totally out the window when merged with RU - not because the RU players were worse or better but because the two play styles were totally different and not really compatible! Nice to get that off my chest 😃. Vk72 one of my favourites 👍

[@mrpetrolhead63]

I don’t disagree with most of what you’ve said with the exception of; the merger with Mordor, and the huge horde of Orks that came with it, is responsible for the total lack of meta. The sheer volume of CIS/RU server window lickers has overwhelmed the EU meta as was. And now, as Bushka said in this video, they just drive in the direction they’re pointing at spawn. Or they don’t really move at all. The Morder merger utterly ruined the EU server.

[@mrjan7002]

The Elefant in the room is not mentioned. Disabled comms. No chat no communication - less tactics. We know why it has been disabled. So again - the Russian merge in terms of servers and the attempted „merge“ in real life is the issue …

[@mrpetrolhead63]

@@mrjan7002 team chat is back, although WG didn’t announce it. It’s automatically disabled so you might not notice it but if you go to settings and then ‘other’ (furthest on the right), battle chat is the top option, just toggle “ONLY TEAM” on and you’ll have chat. Everytime there’s an update it automatically toggles to “DISABLED” so you have to go in and switch it on. Not that it’ll help much, unless you speak Ork!

I’ve been getting back into play IS-3 after playing exclusively tier X and I got 3 mastery’s in 1 day the tank is absolutely lovely and incredibly underrated

[@bobcat2840]

@@realschmidt5657 maybe the 252 the defenders hull armor is awful compared to the tech tree but the IS-3 is better hull down then both of those tanks since it’s cupola is extremely hard to hit I also think it’s more mobile than the 252u but I don’t know the P/W ratio on either of them off the top of my head

[@Durptankgobrrr]

The Fisherman! As I like to call it... Continuous baiting with the armour is a bucket load of fun. Love the amount of content and really enjoyed your commentary in the comps battles champ.

[@BushkaOnBlitz]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@josephcook2314]

Excellent job on commentating the tournament Bushka! It takes real skill to speak on 14 tanks all at once in real time! -GodsDomain

[@mrpetrolhead63]

Just played 8 games back to back in the VK72 and the outcome was 4 wins and 4 losses. Tried implementing Bushka’s suggested tactic, and whilst that worked, the one thing I took away was; this tank is really map/team dependant. The two maps highlighted in this video are good for it, as is Fort Despair. But I found myself as a sole heavy in a number of battles up against teams of meds on big maps. Which is a recipe for losing unfortunately.

[@CasperTheRestless]

this tank is hopefully going to be uniquely good after 10.3 though if it really does get better side armor and improved suspension

[@ilikeswedishmeatballs]

i js hope it doesn’t become op

[@grahamcochran5400]

I like how they made the armor unique for this tank, which forces the driver to play it differently. However, 99% of VKs I face just sidescrape and get deleted instantly.

[@GuidesBlitz]

Bushka you kinda missed out on some huge aspects of this tank, the sandbag armour which lets you reach 2,9k HP, and tungsten rounds consumable which gives you 734 average damage, these are HUGE in gameplay and buffed up the tank a lot from the original stats that it came into the game as. With only 2.6k hp and not using tungsten rounds I feel that you're undervaluing the extent to which this tank is underrated.

[@MrStredders]

Nice to see the VK getting the love it deserves Amigo! Definitely underrated. 113 also still very overlooked by most players IMHO.

[@RiggsGamingOfficial]

Just wanted to stop by and say gday mate great job sussing out the enemy 😂

[@ronalddeadder4005]

After not playing for four years I’ve started again. Had to find my favourite Blitz content creator from back in the day.

[@jeeptk]

Thanks for the video you’re method of angling works great.

[@benjoe-nik9446]

Bushka, do you think some med auto loaders are over powered?

[@ZacCostilla]

Your tactic on using the nose armor is spot on. I got owned twice two days ago, and it was so frustrating.

[@ineverrage4176]

for mediums, possibly wz 121 or M48 patton. For tds, most likely WZ 113g-ft, or maybe HoRi

[@danewoods4712]

Great video. I really love the VK but am getting ver6 frustrated by it. Love the VK90 for its sidescrapping capabilities. The truly need to make the VK72 similar

[@josephregan5890]

So good to see you back Bushka!

[@SentimentalRzns]

Bushka you’re forgetting the fv215b British heavy

[@Spartan902]

I love to angle out in my heavy tanks instead of side scrapping.

[@kanhtran6444]

I don't play anymore but I still love your vids, Bushka!

[@rafaeldelacruz9891]

sir can this style of gameplay be actually applied on chrysler k?

[@Simon__L]

No Tungsten shells ? There are in tournaments that use lots of VKs ...

[@Catch202]

Oh the pumpkin cammo ...be still my beating heart ❤

[@mikeff15]

WG is apparently buffing under the turret.

[@noobepro_7146]

Back then, when bushka said certain tank is shit... We just believe it even tho we never play those tank and in my case this vk 72, even after years playing i just get this tank a year ago trying to ace it

[@ashleybevis9769]

Must be pay Tim in hotel before Eu stream. Back topugb then, see you next year ✌🏻

I’m playing a lot of blitz the past month or so amigo have a heap of footage to make vids

WG is pulling it from some tanks. The VK might be one of them. Meadsy did some videos on the upcoming buffs/nerfs.

[@mikeff15]

@@BushkaOnBlitz I just use adrenaline, and even then I don't sometimes.

[@Lech_Tizdayen]

Playing the 72 without Tungsten rounds? And honestly bro, it's getting nerfed next update so this is a bit late.

[@slim1901]

My most underrated tank I think is the Kpz 70. After learning how to play it properly with a good deal of help from our host here, I have some pretty great games.

[@V3lk0n]

Why understand how to play another tank while you can use a tank that fits you? Why TELL ME WHY

[@slim1901]

@@V3lk0n why are you yelling?

[@ineverrage4176]

If we're talking about tier 9, the Jagdtiger for me. It has one of the best (if not the very best) guns in the entire game, plus strong armor when hull down.

[@Reblwitoutacause]

Bushka, you killed it on the Summer Finals announcing. Top tier stuff. So damn entertaining. There'e many out there, but none are Bushka!

[@YamashitaKatsumi]

Yup, I have tier X tank, but still enjoy tier 6 battles 🙄.

[@Haris-V]

When EU player play the Asia server using tier 6 and 7 route n get punish so hard 💀

[@cyclingsi]

EU server is horrible to play on these days, no meta, reason, logic, talent, the merge with RU has ruined the server, with chat turned off you cannot even communicate a plan. Love the heads up on the VK, will dust mine off and see if I can make it work.

[@BushkaOnBlitz]

Yeah hadn’t considered the server Merge but it makes perfect sense now
