You are so right. I could have used a Claus years ago, when I first started the game in 2011.

Hull down in leopard?? Also known as one foot in grave position

[@heyho4770]

Its not that awful...if you're 400m plus away. Makes you a much smaller target therefore more difficult to hit and hides the biggest chance to get ammoracked

[@hauptwerk1]

Ammorack on the Leo is every thing under the turret

[@Ocrilat]

...and the other foot on a roller skate.

[@johnzwengel4302]

I love my Leopard! It actually has the best armor in the game, because you're never lit and never exposed. It forces you to play a fundamentally sound game, using your circles, being aware of where the enemies are and who can see you while you looking for good shooting angles. Being aggressive in the Leo is an advanced skill for sure ... o7 Mr Paul. It's a hard tank to play well. For me, the fun is in the challenge. BTW, best WN8 of all my tier 10 meds (8), and holds my damage record at about 7700. Thanks for another great video.

Learning more about how to play this game in a few of Claus's vids than in years of watching....... other guys from across the pond. Keep them coming Claus, you're awesome.

[@rmmjansen]

Tried the Leopard tactics on Himmelsdorf, camped in the middle. It didn't work out so well.

[@BogdanZarnescu]

Himmelsdorf is a close combat map, you can't camp in a middle and hope to do well...

Wrong map. You should have tried in Province instead.

[@mpwaterhouse]

LOL - nice one :)

[@EnerGRules]

I recommend places where theres cover and first shot opportunities. Theres one in middle to spot cross early or hill with the new cover on left side.

[@watchmanschannelofdespair]

LOL 😛

[@runfox_4780]

Who knew, Claus you can be funny, and silly, but you also can play WOT well and teach us some things too, good job Claus, good video, I want more like that please!!!

[@rolandfelice6198]

Well done Claus. I swear, you're becoming the 'valuable tutor' as opposed to the 'hair-brain goofball' of old. What a difference being a comm-contributer seems to make. I've stopped watching the Biggest Assholes, the Stupids series and such, however this newer you is actually giving me something to think on and improve by. Thanks.

[@gstube1]

Great idea to compare play styles within one class of tank! Keep going!

[@jasonjackson7942]

Nice demonstration on how to play two different types of tanks, very watchable and educational, tks mate.

[@syncmonism]

Angling in the Leopard is great. It allows you to stop virtually any kind of machine gun round!

[@张昊宇-p2e]

You’ve showed great understanding of those mediums. By the way, you got lower experience on the leopard than the skoda because the damage you did wasn’t your own spotting. In another word actually you didn’t spot much with the skoda but you get much more experience for similar damage because you spotted for yourself

[@张昊宇-p2e]

Deadly right!

[@73north]

Congratulations for the 1st Mark of Excellence in the Skoda Claus ! - 2 nice games

[@mikeparr12]

Great video, well explained, you don't need to be goofy , I learned a lot from this video, getting the Skoda soon, your style makes total sense ! Thanks

[@richard743]

A good Claus review with his medication taken is really sweet. Thx dude.

[@neilwilson5785]

These tactical lessons are really fun. More please, esp if two or more tanks are compared. Nicely done.

[@generalpublic3744]

Claus is very good at the snatch shot kill. If I tried it I'd miss for sure. I guess that is where the skill comes in, as it is all about timing the shot.

[@steelstormxii8837]

Really like the video, especially with the skoda, it was fun to watch that tank.

[@rolleasy6274]

So many words to describe the Leopard to say that you should play it like a T67.

[@johnzwengel4302]

No it's a medium. You play closer with it, using similar tactics to the T50 here. A T67 would be hard pressed to play at the front counting shots.

[@gamgammerz]

And you assume we know how to play a T67, which I don't.

[@saerbhreathach540]

Very nice run down on both tanks!! The Leopard 1 and Leopard PTA are both my most favorite medium scouts, too big to be a true scout yet not big enough to be a medium. 😊

[@hlbatesjr]

Knowing how to play the different tanks is something I'm bad at.

[@darkgiftroland6264]

Love these videos Claus. Learned a few things that I will apply when I play. Looking forward to more in the future. Also "there ya go, there ya go.." lmfao

[@pauldaniels921]

Love my leopards, haven’t got Skoda yet, love these vids as much as the rants! Keep em coming claus👍👍👍👍

[@edabreu7871]

Good light tank play explanation. Active vs passive spotting. The lower tiers r really tough to do with a light tank. No firepower, no armor. Without camo n 6th sense, its like a bullseye on your forehead!

[@michaelzrust426]

9:54 dat chat though, haters gonna hate

[@thetoughcookie3665]

That tells pretty much how everyone sees things with different way. I would never say that from Claus. But saying that only tells more only perspective of the speaker, or the lack of it. Next wannabe-pro!

So Claus is not only an awesome comedian, he's a pretty damn good tanker too.

[@leeroyjenkins422]

[@silvertamman3218]

I like to use my hp in the beginning of the game.

[@steve2008s]

me to, have to remind my self relax go with the flow

[@Johnnymac66]

I wanted to lend my support to Claus for his non-ranting, (humorously accurate) compare and contrast of two of his favorite mediums. Yes, it is true that we depend upon Claus for the wacky, sarcastic, justifiably indignant against WG in a every-person's way. It is also true that we could get a more detailed yet omitting explanation of how to play either the Leo I or the Skoda by watching "one of the other guys we watch". We need to remember that this doesn't happen very often with Claus because 1) Claus doesn't have a very good memory requiring that number 2 happens) Claus sometimes has two good battles soon enough after the other to spark an idea of interesting content. (I jest of course. Maybe). #ShoutOutToYouGuys!

[@ironsoulstealer3922]

I liked it. Good video, Claus. Keep'em coming, but more mid-tiers please.

[@fullclipaudio]

I play a lot of zero armor tanks and TD's so this makes sense. I usually have the view range of medium or light so it makes sense to take a forward position and try to work a ridgeline or pile of bushes. I do not last long if I'm seen though. It really alters the playstyle.

[@RaceSmokie]

Funny thing about this first map , after my 5 years of playing this game, is that over and over again I see ppl get at E 9 and 0 ( where this rocks are) and than sitting there and wait enemy to get bored and make some stupid move so they will shoot em. So what I have learned from the time I played in "Clan Wars" was let enemy pas thru this camping position and than get em in the open when they can not get fast in the cover, they can not go fast under hill which is at their back and everything will be finished quite quick, but you know,,, tactic in random game O_o. Actually this first map is all wait and let enemy all come close to us, dont shoot, let em come close on the open field and than demolish em totally. Same is for E1-F1. Same is with corner of doom at A,B-1 on the sec. map. You know who win that corner? The team who has more HP (in about 90% cases).

[@marioambs3653]

Absolutely love this.... make more plz and thank you

[@haivernicolasaguileragomez7801]

Thank you for the explanation, nice video

[@Cancun771]

Sounds like that tank should be called the _Hyena_ instead of the _Leopard..._

[@daszieher]

The real leopard has fairly good armour. It was designed to face Eastern bloc forces in entrenched hull down positions with enough mobility to deliver counter attacks. LeopardII is even better at that. It dominates battlefields much like an Abrams of same vintage (same gun, same optics, stronger but more efficient engine, better armour)

[@neagux]

@@daszieher was more faster back in wot as getting almost 90km speed but was nerfed

[@daszieher]

@@neagux i doubt any "Leo" would reach speeds like that. they (maintenance crew) did once drive around in the Leo2 chassis without the turret. i do not remember when or where. probably urban legend, like the gun stabilisation being so good, you could balance a beer on it while traversing terrain (off-road). no, wait. there is a video on that.

[@Depipro]

I really like your presentation style.

[@kaiserschnitzel89]

YOUR VIDEO WAS ENJOYABLE CLAUS KELLERMAN

[@deadendfriends1975]

This essentially applies to all tanks .....use/explore strengths and know ALL weaknesses. My Tiger I on the bottom of a 3-5-7 ? I'm going to support, hit tracks non-stop and hope for a miracle. T-28 Proto ? Tier 8 blows but not so much with a Tier 10 gun. Etc. Etc.

Nice idea, cheers Claus

[@Zt3v3]

I'm watching this rerun because it's a great video.

[@Feindflugg]

More please, this was damn good!

[@john_doe_not_found]

Your xp was more in your skoda because you were spotting for yourself. In your leo you were only getting 50% xp because most of what you shot at you hadn't spotted for yourself.

[@MrVlax22]

SantaClaws you should play more LT and show us what your strategy is. I like playing LT and i am the suckest but when i have a good game in a LT it's really really good.

[@Skott62]

If they were spotting properly your Leopard would have been spotted in the middle there and probably would have gotten your tank killed. The enemy team pretty much ignored that center. A bad decision on their part. In most battles the enemy knows to try and spot that area for hidden tanks so that Leopard would have been in peril due to its soft armor in normal circumstances. Anyway GG.

[@alexanderfrost2943]

Well put Claus!!! Thanks or should I say Tanks!

[@MilosStevanovic1]

I like this guy, really no bullshit opinion. Down to a point not like 50 min on and on…..

[@MegaWeagle]

So based on these two play style which is more suited to the e1?

[@Deredeo]

love my Leopard 1..playing it has made me better with my Stabby1 too as it plays just like a Leo1 BUT with a turret which is not made of tissue paper and ammo racks...i've bounced shots off its turret from a the Waffle a few times and mabye a Deathstar in one game as well but not certain >;)

[@Deredeo]

@6:41....HEEEEY!!! i just realized...that blimp wreckage...is it the blimp thats flying overhead on Himmelsdorf? lol...mabye those planes flying overhead during the invasion on the Overlord map shot it down and this is where is crashed...i wonder what the map relationship is between Himmelsdorf, Redshire and this one (whats the name of it again..cant remember...)

Did I enjoy it? You KNOW I like it like that. ;)

Those two hits on the Skorp G with the Leopard is where tinfoil comes from.

I've had that happen on more than one occasion. No explosion, no direction marker, no tanks around me, just a sudden loss of hp and a big ? as to where the shot came from.

[@fromhelltocell]

@@billob4285 Yeah, is that something for X-files episode, or just something we didn't notice while fully aimed? I get it if someone or something bumps you, Claus even showed invisible tank corpses or their turrets "attacking from the afterlife", but stunned? That has to be an arty shell, or is it possible that's a shot from that SU-101 fired too close to his leopard?

[@paskberger1152]

Loved that video. The only tier X i have is a leopard 1 with a all femal crew, 5+ perks, this help. However was playing this tank like any medium then i realise how weak the armor is in the game. Klaus show me a better way to use it. Have friends that really WORKED on LEOPARD 1, and what they told me, the LEOPARD1 is victim of russian bias. Altough he have less armor and was designe for mobility, the armor should had still resiste some shot from russian tank. Really wonder how much realism is put into tank capabilities in this game more than ever. Way too many Russian tank are OP in this game and war in 1967 & 1973 in middle east (Isreal vs the rest) demonstrate how those Russian tank were not that great.

[@thunder7135]

Ahh, the Leopard 1... My first tier X tank (BIG MISTAKE). Playing the Leopard 1 gave me PTSD to be honest. And I consider myself a decent and passionate Leo1 driver (1k games in it with 56% winrate). Even I gave up playing that tank made out of ammoracks and started grinding the russian mediums. PS. I played that meme of a tank using 2 repair kits. I even have a recording of a replay where I repaired my ammorack, the second shot hit my ammorack again, I repaired it once again, and the 3rd shot hit my ammorack once again. That was one of my last games in that hopeless tank (maybe I played a couple more games because I was that stupid).

[@METALIKBRAT]

Claus thank you for your videos, wish you all the best!
