Tiger 2 is a joke and has been a joke for a VERY VERY long time. I couldn't tell you the last time I ever hesitated about engaging one. It was probably back shortly after release when the game was still new.
@Gyoto Azimoto It's a horrible tank. I'm never afraid of one when I see it, even if I'm lower tier. I have 3 MoE on it and the requirements were pathetic, this was the easiest 3 MoE I've had and I was getting rekt 8/10 games. Shows you how weak the tank is. At least it had better engine back in the day but WG removed it for historical accuracy and look at them now pumping out sci-fi premiums one after another with OP stats.
@@918Mitchell Tiger 2 doesn't fit any playstile in WoT. Did you hear me right? I 3 marked it, that means I was scoring more damage and assistance than at least 95% of all the people who play it, so please show me all these people who can make this tank work in the current WoT - the people whose playstyle and Tiger 2 fit. The numbers I had to achieve to get the 3 MoE are abysmal compared to other tanks in the game and I won't quote them here. I've had tier 6 tanks that required more damage to 3 mark. Tiger I, on tier 7 required significantly more damage and assistance for 3 marks of excellence! Maybe everyone in these 5 % remaining are scoring more than 2K dmg per battle with it...doubt. And to think there were times when this tank while not being a powerhouse was no doubt at least better than the Lowe, IS-6 and a bunch of other premiums. Seems like fantasy now. The times when WG at least tried to make premiums a tad less powerful than the regular tanks, so their game is not p2w are a distant memory.
I think the tiger 2 is massively underrated if you know how to play it. Just sit back and support other heavies and let the gun shine in the far engagements.
Super IS-M, welded on extra 40mm UPF, with screen mesh protection on the side, a more rounded turret, and equipped with an upgraded obj 430 gun with 440 alpha with 4 RoF.
WG keeps vomiting premium tanks instead of focusing some of its resources into creating new maps and making old small maps bigger. That’s all I have to say. 🙄😑
Jim Nannes Actually they absolutely would, my friend. Gamers, if given more maps - a better map diversity - would play more and maybe would not quit the game because utterly repetitive (admit: what do you really feel when, in your tier IX tank, you start the game in, say, Himmelsdorf? Or Mines?. Do you feel a bit over-bored, maybe?) Because it’s how I feel. I’d be happy to have a new map every month, while the old ones are fine tuned and constantly made better. What we have is retarded maps (the small ones) and utterly idiotic (like Glacier or Mountain Pass) and, naturally, a constant flow of premium tanks which probably never even existed as “napkin project”! 😂😂😂
(and bad match-up)....which makes it a slow-moving, inaccurate, inflexible, low-DPS underpowered tank in reality - underpowered certainly compared to a slew of other premium tanks. Watch Skill's review on this to counteract QB's optimal situation review.
Yea...maybe he intended that to be funny... BUT i've always noticed at every streamer with years of prem, 10millions of credits and 10thousands of gold "complaining" about something "little sh!t" like vents, binos or a full crew retreaining being "expensive"...always sound(ed) a bit like hypocrisy.............
Honestly that thingy should switch places with the VK 45.02 (P) Ausf. B., becoming the new Tier 9, and VK 45.02 (P) becomes a premium tank with adjusted stats and the tiger II's guns. Why? Because it is designed by Krupp, like the Pz VII... and is not just a design variant of the Tier 8, which has been ridiculously overadjusted to be a Tier 9.

But then you get all the bad/clueless players complaining it's bad, while in reality it's exactly how it should be.
Quickbaby about the 279e - "Stop giving the best players an advantage, rewards should be interesting or novel but not overpowered" Also Quickbaby about the VK 75.01 - "It's noval and interesting, but not overpowered... I'm not sure how I feel about it"
QB knows what is best for the game, but slightly overpowered tanks are more fun to play and get you more hyped, and he has kinda fallen into that trap recently I feel :( Also QB, like most WoT streamers I watch, seem to be medium or light tank players, so naturally a heavy premium will get them less hyped
Dem feels, now it's just a relic of the past, t34 was the hardest hitter at tier 8, then defender, mauerbrecher, VK 100 then VK 75, next I almost can assure you it will be a russian heavy tank mounting 130mm with 520 alpha. Rip t34
I remember a time when the T34 ha 3.4 sec aim time, with even worse soft stats, and for 400 alpha and not 490. Brutal Powercreep when compared to this New tier 8
yeah, but at that time, t34 was op. people weren't firing premium ammo cause you could buy it with gold only and there weren't so many fast tanks which means you could easily keep enemies at distance in a hull down position. i have the t34 since it was a trier 9 heavy. good old times :)
Sooo with a streaming account you get 100% accuracy? Every shot went right into the middle of the aiming circle, even the snap shots. I wonder why so many people think this game is rigged?
@@Tantuhard you misunderstood I'm not calling QB a cheater. I'm calling WG a rigger. This was their account for showing off/selling their new tanks. It's really simple to give certain accounts far better RNG which would make their tank look better than it really is..... which is exactly what happened here.
I remember when I first bought my T34 and it's big selling point was "king of alpha" and it was true at the time. Now it is average alpha and excels at nothing else.
I bought this tank yesterday, and in a normal match I can fire 8 time, 5 of those 8 times completely miss the target or just don't hit where it should have hit and bounce even firing at the rear of enemy, sometimes is frustrating, but when you finally hit and damage it scares the shit out of the enemy. So I think this tank is going to make you feel frustrated sometimes but rewarded sometimes.
RNG... many tanks do this. I wouldnt be worried about missing/bounicng with this as much as I am when I dont penetrate weakly armored targets with the JPanzer E 100 with a HEAT 🙂

Hol up this man is legit testing a new tier 8 premium German hvy at Gamescon RN and he already has a video for ANOTHER tier 8 German premium hvy tank??
Bought the VK and first battle was top in damage (3,622), top in experience, Mastery Badge Class I, three awards, and made credits despite some gold spam. Wonderful start and very pleased with the VK. Using my 4-skill Tiger II crew (rarely play the Tiger II anymore it has been so power creeped and War Gaming is doing nothing to make it relevant again). Glad that War Gaming decided to put it on sale again for four days.
This tank is certainly not OP, as it's very inflexible. It seems only good for sidescraping and short range city fights. It even reloads longer than E75. Loewe is much better still, imo.
@@olegjablonsky3495 I agree with you that it is not OP, but it is not OP at tier 8 and up. It is OP to tier 6 & 7 tanks; 490 alpha is a lot, combined with its armour and corridor-like maps. It's the same issue with the chrysler K and Japanese heavies in general, -2 fucks lower tier tanks up, same tier is just fine, and at higher tier they become more like meat. simple solution is -1, same tier or +1 (only 1 tier difference or same tier), this makes balancing tanks much easier. Though this is too much work for WG and Gold rounds will be used less.
I think the other good thing about the 75.01 (K) is you can test out the German rear turreted tanks to see if you want to Grind that line, (assuming your in the market for a German premium HT).
RodelIturalde if it was 3 arty matchmaking, where he was playing the ridge shooting the Lowe, I can garunteed u 3 things. 1) he gets permanently stunned or 2) he woulda died trying to put pressure the enemy team in order to avoid arty or 3) he just has to play passive Also I mean it’s tier 8 matchmaking....there are premium tank and regular tech tree tanks that would roll in that kind of matchmaking.
leopard 1 is far from being dead. I see tons of Grill 15 and Jag Pizdas E100. E50M aint horrible either and arta is very good. It's just T10 German Heavies that are meh ... except VK 72.01 K which is actually one of best heavies. I agree tech tree german heavies suck but not all German tanks are bad.
@@Mario-kf3ej Yes that i was saying.... almost. TDs is ok. Leopard1 also but this tank was usless until last patch. I spoke about whole line not only tier x.Nobody plays Tiger,Tiger2,not even E75.
Uhm, yes, yes it is/should be. We are talking about heavy tanks here. What's the point of a heavy when same tier tanks have no problem going through them frontally with regular AP, not to speak of lower tier opponents?
@@RodelIturalde many people don't know about it, but if u shot Lowe straight to the gun in the turret, there is some weak spot, that's where I always shot Lowe if I have some higher penetration, I don't know much about it, but 217 pene is enough 😅
I am taking another look at this review because War Gaming has put this on sale again for four days (beginning Oct 18, 2019), and I did not buy it in the summer. I had a Chrysler K rental a couple of weeks ago that I found quite effective (even though I had to use APCR often to be effective). This VK seems to be a lot like the Chrysler K, but with a better gun, and armor that is quite effective. So I am thinking that I might like this VK, and the bonus is that I have several highly skilled German heavy crews to use in it - therefore just need to buy the basic tank and not an expensive package.
490 alpha at tier 8 is pure aids. It rly is. The Skorpion has 490 alpha and it could 2 shot most tier 7 tanks with high rolls and all tier 6 tanks without a problem. Except when the gun decides to min roll 2 times in a row kek
@@robshootuit yes, but the VK is not for sale yet, so WG can still do something about it. Defender is just a lost cause. And the ISU has a big derp-semi-sniper gun. Is fun, it hits hard, but is russian. It will miss point blank or it will 1 shot a Maus at 500m, you never know
Guvyyg Vuhh true, but your comment also shows exactly what is wrong with premium vehicles. Because wg is avoiding legal cases they dont touch any of the premium tanks. Even tho everyone knows which ones are completely op and need a nerf. But wg will only buff them to resell them. Otherwhise they leave them alone and put them on limited sales. To artificially up the price further.
@@robshootuit yeah... I miss the good ol' days for prem tanks, where where was no OP tank, except the Cockroach 25 and the Pz II J. The good old days where the only 2 soviet HTs had actual drawbacks. Good armor, bad gun. The IS-6 had a tier 8 gun (is not rly a tier 8 gun, it used to had 175 pen) the KV-5 had the same gun the A-43/KV-2/T150 have, the 107mm gun (is a tier 7 gun, but it has 167 pen, quite bad for tier 8, rather nice for tier 7/6/6).
Skorpion has the accuracy and penetration to back that alpha damage up. It's no use to have huge alpha if you don't even hit your shots or when you hit your shots, you won't penetrate. And with that rate of fire on that tank, you will be pissed very quickly when you wasted 3 shots to a tank which didn't take any damage from you.
Possibly overpowered but I'm not too sure. It has the chance of being overpowered, yes, but it also has a chance of being balanced. I think the dpm and the gun handling brings it back a bit, we dunno how strong the lower plate actually is, it's angle could only really make it 180 effective. It's armour does seem a bit fucked though, a bit like most German hts at high tiers. We'll just have to wait and see. Edit: This tank also will need to rely on team mates heavily, it doesn't have the dpm to hold by itself or the brokenly op armour to fend off multiple enemies.
Adalberto Santana here’s the thing, the reason why people bitch about premium ammo is that they’re driving tanks with no frontal weak spots, or very hard to hit weak spots. And wg doesn’t seem to want to hop of the no frontal weakspot train. So how do pubbies balance no frontal weakspots? They load gold. As a 2874 wn8 player, I shoot gold for 2 reasons. 1) to negate rng 2) balance the no frontal weakspot mechanic
So I've been wanting to get a prem German heavy for a while, was saving for the Löwe for a bit but then I saw this beasty. I looked it up and did tiny research, nothing like you're of course. And right now it's my FAVORITE heavy tank to use. Is just such a fun tank IMO. It has cringy stuff but it's still so much fun for me.

Not sure about this.. I mean people are buying this crap. I saw live gameplay (skill4ltu) and reality is: gold plus arty. Baseline: Whatever WG will offer, people are gonna buy it.
1 year later i can tell ya this tank sucks ass and you don't see them on the battlefield almost at all, i forgot it was even a thing until they sold it on the advent calendar yesterday
Sorry mate, but I've seen Skill's review before this, and this tank is shit. It is no side scraping monster. Of course, if you get tier 6 it is, but so is every other heavy tank...
I love Skill but he generally shits on every tank that is slow by default. This tank is far from shit if he would drop his bias toward slow stuff. Sure it got weakspots, sure it reloads long , but man this gun is fairly accurate for such alpha at T8. It got decent armor and is not as slow as you would think thanks to got power and resistances. Btw plenty of T8 heavies who struggle with T6s ;p - for example FCM 50T - shit alpha, shit armor. 110 - this thing is horrible and T6s can pen it no problem. But yeah generally you are right hehe.
You can pen the lower plate with 90% of the base rounds at tier 8 quite easily unless your a pref mm tank and that'll only be a 50% pen. Cupala also has about 160mm/170mm of effective armor too and its somewhat easy to hit. The cheeks are also somewhat large for 250~260 effective armor making it an easy gold round pen because you cant angle identically to a Maus since the turrets side armor is weak too, and we're just talking about tier 8 pen... this will have to face tier 9's & 10's.

Hey Quicky...can you use your super powers and get your hands on the AE Phase 1 the final reward tank for Frontlines? The stats are looking depressing and I need an honest opinion on it.
Thanks for the video, great work as always QB! Just picked the tank up earlier and I'm pretty excited to give it a try. A quick question though if you don't mind. How do you go about getting that camouflage that we saw during the first few minutes of the video? I've been playing for over 8 years now and I'm still utterly clueless as to how people keep unlocking these really cool camouflage patterns.

Funny how on Blitz this tank model is a tier X and been renamed the VK 90.01 (P) with 300 mm of front turret armor and a thick ufp
This tank is certainly not OP, as it's very inflexible. It seems only good for sidescraping and short range city fights. It even reloads longer than E75. Loewe is much better still, imo.

@@olegjablonsky3495 and that rear mounted turret is more often a bad thing than a good thing
@@olegjablonsky3495 I agree with you that it is not OP, but it is not OP at tier 8 and up. It is OP to tier 6 & 7 tanks; 490 alpha is a lot, combined with its armour and corridor-like maps.
It's the same issue with the chrysler K and Japanese heavies in general, -2 fucks lower tier tanks up, same tier is just fine, and at higher tier they become more like meat.
simple solution is -1, same tier or +1 (only 1 tier difference or same tier), this makes balancing tanks much easier.
Though this is too much work for WG and Gold rounds will be used less.
@@olegjablonsky3495 people see big gun and heavy armor and scream op, standard procedure in wot
I think the other good thing about the 75.01 (K) is you can test out the German rear turreted tanks to see if you want to
Grind that line, (assuming your in the market for a German premium HT).
With the way Heat rounds work, I want to see if I can bounce a M56 scope with my Jpz E 100s Heat
I was a little Leary about buying this tank, but I talked to some of the guys in my clan tonight who have it. Will buy before it goes off sale.
A unicum having a good game???? Oh 0 arty to xvm focus lel
RodelIturalde if it was 3 arty matchmaking, where he was playing the ridge shooting the Lowe, I can garunteed u 3 things. 1) he gets permanently stunned or 2) he woulda died trying to put pressure the enemy team in order to avoid arty or 3) he just has to play passive
Also I mean it’s tier 8 matchmaking....there are premium tank and regular tech tree tanks that would roll in that kind of matchmaking.
and with a .39 gun that like my .28 guns rig rng rig mm for QuickyBaby
Have the stats of this tank changed unannounced? Gun dispersion in this vid was 0.39 but today in the garage its 0.37 (without crew or modules)
Have you paid extra for that 0.02? 😁
Almost all line in German tech tree are dead. Qb you should make a video about that.
leopard 1 is far from being dead. I see tons of Grill 15 and Jag Pizdas E100. E50M aint horrible either and arta is very good. It's just T10 German Heavies that are meh ... except VK 72.01 K which is actually one of best heavies.
I agree tech tree german heavies suck but not all German tanks are bad.
@@Mario-kf3ej Yes that i was saying.... almost. TDs is ok. Leopard1 also but this tank was usless until last patch. I spoke about whole line not only tier x.Nobody plays Tiger,Tiger2,not even E75.

@@Mario-kf3ej the tier 9 are great but except maus and Leo the all tier 10s are garbage.
Leopard 1 is fun. E50m is ok, but premium spam makes it useless. Grille 15 is total garbage. I enjoyed Sturer-Emil more than this piece of shi...t.
I skipped the spreadsheet comp...when fighting the Lowe does the turret not turn 180? Why not turn around and have better gun depression?
If you have to press 2 key to penetrate frontally the same tier tank it's NOT normal QB !!!
Uhm, yes, yes it is/should be. We are talking about heavy tanks here.
What's the point of a heavy when same tier tanks have no problem going through them frontally with regular AP, not to speak of lower tier opponents?
ehh, what's the point of armour if a good player can nullify it? It would leave you with a slow tank with subpar DPM and bad view range
love the VK B. so hyped for this tank!
I don't want it, I don't want it, *Looks at my first Tier X being the Pz Kpfw. VII with a playstyle I enjoy.* I NEED IT!
Maus is better at sidescraping as it lacks those side hull weakspots
@@nathandamaren2093 Also working to that one but on the Mauschen at the moment. After the VK 100.01P it just pales in comparison
@@maximaus988 this is true. Mauschen could use a bit of a buff in my opinion as it almost feels like a downgrade compared to the vk 100.01p.
Hahaha I like the "Nach Berlin" on the back of the turret :D Definitely a reason for me to buy this steelcube :)
You're right quickly. This is basically weakened tier IX VK. Thats a new policy of making premium tansks
Wait so the O.257 was a strenghtened version of the Defender? :-D

@@RodelIturalde many people don't know about it, but if u shot Lowe straight to the gun in the turret, there is some weak spot, that's where I always shot Lowe if I have some higher penetration, I don't know much about it, but 217 pene is enough 😅
Currently not playing WOT atm due to no PC but I'm still gonna buy this thing because I love the 45.02 B...
Exactly how I feel!
I am taking another look at this review because War Gaming has put this on sale again for four days (beginning Oct 18, 2019), and I did not buy it in the summer. I had a Chrysler K rental a couple of weeks ago that I found quite effective (even though I had to use APCR often to be effective). This VK seems to be a lot like the Chrysler K, but with a better gun, and armor that is quite effective. So I am thinking that I might like this VK, and the bonus is that I have several highly skilled German heavy crews to use in it - therefore just need to buy the basic tank and not an expensive package.
490 alpha at tier 8 is pure aids. It rly is. The Skorpion has 490 alpha and it could 2 shot most tier 7 tanks with high rolls and all tier 6 tanks without a problem. Except when the gun decides to min roll 2 times in a row kek
Guvyyg Vuhh *laughs in isu 152 and obj 252u*
@@robshootuit yes, but the VK is not for sale yet, so WG can still do something about it. Defender is just a lost cause. And the ISU has a big derp-semi-sniper gun. Is fun, it hits hard, but is russian. It will miss point blank or it will 1 shot a Maus at 500m, you never know
Guvyyg Vuhh true, but your comment also shows exactly what is wrong with premium vehicles. Because wg is avoiding legal cases they dont touch any of the premium tanks. Even tho everyone knows which ones are completely op and need a nerf. But wg will only buff them to resell them. Otherwhise they leave them alone and put them on limited sales. To artificially up the price further.
@@robshootuit yeah... I miss the good ol' days for prem tanks, where where was no OP tank, except the Cockroach 25 and the Pz II J. The good old days where the only 2 soviet HTs had actual drawbacks. Good armor, bad gun. The IS-6 had a tier 8 gun (is not rly a tier 8 gun, it used to had 175 pen) the KV-5 had the same gun the A-43/KV-2/T150 have, the 107mm gun (is a tier 7 gun, but it has 167 pen, quite bad for tier 8, rather nice for tier 7/6/6).
Skorpion has the accuracy and penetration to back that alpha damage up. It's no use to have huge alpha if you don't even hit your shots or when you hit your shots, you won't penetrate. And with that rate of fire on that tank, you will be pissed very quickly when you wasted 3 shots to a tank which didn't take any damage from you.
On console, the VK is a tier 10 premium that can be purchased with 450,000 free xp.
just sayin

Always cheers me up waking up and the first video i see is from qb, love your videos keep up the good work.
In a nutshell: other OP tier 8 tank premium, my opinion :)
It's not a braindead tank
Possibly overpowered but I'm not too sure. It has the chance of being overpowered, yes, but it also has a chance of being balanced. I think the dpm and the gun handling brings it back a bit, we dunno how strong the lower plate actually is, it's angle could only really make it 180 effective. It's armour does seem a bit fucked though, a bit like most German hts at high tiers. We'll just have to wait and see.
Edit: This tank also will need to rely on team mates heavily, it doesn't have the dpm to hold by itself or the brokenly op armour to fend off multiple enemies.
Adalberto Santana here’s the thing, the reason why people bitch about premium ammo is that they’re driving tanks with no frontal weak spots, or very hard to hit weak spots. And wg doesn’t seem to want to hop of the no frontal weakspot train. So how do pubbies balance no frontal weakspots? They load gold.
As a 2874 wn8 player, I shoot gold for 2 reasons.
1) to negate rng
2) balance the no frontal weakspot mechanic
@@johnivandizon3233 yep
@@Noluckman Let's see, I thinked this tank like a Vk 45.02 in tier 8, like Tiger II in tier 7 with King Tiger ;)
So I've been wanting to get a prem German heavy for a while, was saving for the Löwe for a bit but then I saw this beasty. I looked it up and did tiny research, nothing like you're of course. And right now it's my FAVORITE heavy tank to use. Is just such a fun tank IMO. It has cringy stuff but it's still so much fun for me.
Call me conspiracy theorist, but have you noticed EVERY single shot went exactly at the center of the reticle?
Это называется "подкрутка" или отключение режима персонального угнетения (РПУ). Сорри, мне лень набирать текст on english, please, translate in google.
it will just end up in 3/5/7 and be a pinata for the higher tiers while it loads gold and tries its best at 50/50 pens.
Do you know what would make WoT better?
If they would replace the stupidly bad and boring tech-tree tanks with the actually fun prem tanks

Do it like Cato in the Roman republic, who is said to have ended all his speeches stating that Carthage should be destroyed.
If it was russian it‘d probably go 45km/h and have .34 acc, with 8 deg. gun dep.
Remember when the defender's 440 alpha was "the highest"?
for a sec i thought he was reviewing the CW reward tank the VK 72 01 K
`
Ooh great! Another impenetrable tank. Just what I've wanted, negating any skill and instead compelling me to whip out my wallet or die.
Trust me ..is a shitty tank. No enough money,,75% of the shots from the enemy it;s inside of you're tank :)) Don't buy it
Good video. I love my VK 72.01 and probably i love this tank in future
i have the t9 and im lovin it, i thinking on buy this one but dunno
Next is 750 alpha dmg tier 8 heavy..
Then next is..opsy bankrupt wargaming no players
Not sure about this.. I mean people are buying this crap. I saw live gameplay (skill4ltu) and reality is: gold plus arty.
Baseline: Whatever WG will offer, people are gonna buy it.
The turret roof is also 40mm which means it gets overmatched by every IS series tank which makes it even worse at hulldown.
yayyy another tier 8 premium tank to vomit and stomp inocent souls at tier 6 & 7. feel the balance kidz
quickybaby does not retreat, he advances back to base :P
I’m so glad I stopped playing this game
1 year later i can tell ya this tank sucks ass and you don't see them on the battlefield almost at all, i forgot it was even a thing until they sold it on the advent calendar yesterday
I'm going to advance back - Brave Sir Robin
Sorry mate, but I've seen Skill's review before this, and this tank is shit. It is no side scraping monster. Of course, if you get tier 6 it is, but so is every other heavy tank...
I love Skill but he generally shits on every tank that is slow by default. This tank is far from shit if he would drop his bias toward slow stuff.
Sure it got weakspots, sure it reloads long , but man this gun is fairly accurate for such alpha at T8. It got decent armor and is not as slow as you would think thanks to got power and resistances.
Btw plenty of T8 heavies who struggle with T6s ;p - for example FCM 50T - shit alpha, shit armor. 110 - this thing is horrible and T6s can pen it no problem.
But yeah generally you are right hehe.
Thank you for spending all those credits for our benefit.
At least it is not russian, I guess?
Exactly lol
Tells one Tank is bad on slopes; goes on a slope XD
Another premium tank with barely and frontal weak points, well played wg
You can pen the lower plate with 90% of the base rounds at tier 8 quite easily unless your a pref mm tank and that'll only be a 50% pen. Cupala also has about 160mm/170mm of effective armor too and its somewhat easy to hit. The cheeks are also somewhat large for 250~260 effective armor making it an easy gold round pen because you cant angle identically to a Maus since the turrets side armor is weak too, and we're just talking about tier 8 pen... this will have to face tier 9's & 10's. Proof: armor.wotinspector.com/?targetVehicleId=56081,59410,51731,34836&mode=xray.armor&platform=pc
NOOBKILLAPWND which is why they shouldnt nerf premium ammo. I don’t see an issue with premium tbh
"you can't really go higher than [490] at tier 8 heavy tank, right?" Ah, the good old times...
So many premium tanks in the game now, you could make 4 new tech trees out of it.
speaking of alpha damage, what about the tier VI heavy, the KV2-R, usually about 700 alpha damage or so.
It's basically a VKK at tier 8, skip to 10:25 for video
That's a good looking tank.
I need to start winning the lottery.
Any particular reason it has more armor on the lower plate than the Tiger II has on the upper plate?
I am confused, the Wargaming video that just came out is saying the hull armor is 200 lower and not 180. Or is the 180 a total average?
I did not realize that VK45.02B has only 36 pieces of ammunition. Even with its extremely slow loading, you may fire for 10min only.
Hey Quicky...can you use your super powers and get your hands on the AE Phase 1 the final reward tank for Frontlines? The stats are looking depressing and I need an honest opinion on it.
what is this vk.45.02(b) final or something?
(tbh they should vk4502b as t8 prem(because it had same armor as vk4502a) and this as a t9 tech tree)
It looks awesome , I love my Panzer IIV and VK45.02 B , so this is most likely coming to my collection.
IIV? Don't you mean VII.
You dont have to buy the Vents for 600K, just compare them in the ingame compare list. You can also add equipment.
Hey QB, do you know when premium consumables will go on discount again. I am out.
I just saw the discount: only 25% this time not 50%!!
Wait, what did that KV-4 do during the game ? He just did 77 damage and 1 kill on the IS. What is that ?
Glad someone else caught that. KV4 did nothing all game, but managed to kill-steal the last tank because of a low roll. Gotta love it!
The should be the standard tier 8 heavy tank because the vk 45.02 a doesn’t really fit in to that line.
Thanks for the video, great work as always QB! Just picked the tank up earlier and I'm pretty excited to give it a try. A quick question though if you don't mind. How do you go about getting that camouflage that we saw during the first few minutes of the video? I've been playing for over 8 years now and I'm still utterly clueless as to how people keep unlocking these really cool camouflage patterns.
Big alpha Hesh for the B Lights!!! 3 key unique rather than just suck.
