This was actually my first T10, I was going towards the Maus, I had the VK 4502 b and then they changed the tree lmao. So I just decided to continue on to the Pz. VII
It always kinda confuses me why they did not give this thing the same side weak spot as the VK 72.01 (K). Unlike the Panzer, it actually has 190mm of "triangle-armor" instead of 160, which means non-gold rounds have a decent chance of bouncing. The Pz VII already has the weaker gun, so also giving it weaker armor is kinda.... weird.
@@jerrydiener6380 Nope, same HP, same mobility. Appart from the gun the only difference is that weak spot and 2° more gun traverse for the Pz VII. Very same hull, same turret, same engine, same everything else. Just a different gun. Which makes it even more confusing why they gave the Pz VII a more vulnurable weakspot.
They never cared about this tank and seems as if they added it to the game just as a filler to the empty line. How long this tank is going without a buff is beyond me.
I love the goofiness of the PZ VII but it is so characteristically German. Practically immune to standard rounds, and completely butchered by gold. I got mine to a 2-mark then stopped playing it during the time the AMX M4 54 was rampant. A mobility system over a turbo would definitely help the vehicle since the moving and traverse dispersions are so awful, and you get the same benefits to your top speed(s) anyway.
Hey qb started watching a few yrs ago for fun and stopped playing for a while and when I came back recently I started playing a lot more like you say and it has helped so much learning about all of the tanks and their weakness
I just got the Pz.7 a week ago after having it researched for awhile and have found myself really enjoying it. I don't have the Maus, but so far I want to say it might be the best German heavy.
I got this tank last month and its quickly becoming one of my favourites. The frontal armore is genuinely so strong that i consistently get 6 to 8K blocking games even in full t10 matchups
Watching this reminded me of an old Jingles video where he says "he's got balls of steel he knows no fear" about a VK 36.01 H (at the time it was a medium) barrelling down a flank in a Tier 8 match (so, bottom tier for the VK), zero fucks given. Was awesome back then, it's still awesome now. :D
0:40 it suprises u why it has such a bad name in the community, but showing the reason for that right behind. The biggest weakspot is the turret left and right and also in the gun mantlet
I was grinding for the Maus long ago and the tree switched, do u think it’s still worth finishing the tree because I just want a tier 10 now, I’m done waiting 😂👍🏿?
@@louayankit2888 Yeah I agree, the pz7 is only good at bullying solo tanks, the Maus is better at baiting shots and acting as mobile cover for smaller tanks.
The 12.8cm L-60 on the Pz-7 is pretty good. The VK-75.01 "Icebreaker" has the same gun as the Pz-7 but has a slightly lower pen. But at tier 8, the Pz-7's gun can bring fear to enemy tanks even when uptiered.
I really with tho that this tank wass more like its predeccesor the VK B with ability for great sidescraping. It also has weaknesses liek all superheavies-"if they cant find your weakspots, they will just load gold"
11:02 How you put 2 shots into them and they still don't look at you... these are the moments that make me confused. When I "Make Plays" like this the entire enemy team would rather kill me then keep their focus. They act like they haven't even spotted you which is just insane xD
i hav this tank cause it looks bad ass, that being said ill try and do that exposing the frontal armor instead of side scraping and hoping the enemy dont know about the weak spot
This thing was my first tier 10 and its been the source of so much frustration. And trust me I tried the muppet strat didn't work. Its the mantle that bothers me more than anything. Even tier 8s can pen those random weak spots on the mantle. And looking at 3d models those weak spots really seem like unfixed oversights rather than intentional weak points. When I saw this video I had hope it got fixed.
The problem of the panzer 7 for me is premium ammo for me, the side can be a good bait especially for a slow and not a good handling tank, what I think it need is either a more better gun or mobility, and the probably the cheeks of the turret. Or Or. Do what blitz do and nerf the premium ammo, like give it -10% up to -20% less DMG (premium ammo like on normal tank and not like 183 or cobra)
can we get a master class t57 review cuz i "recently" joined teh tier 10 club with the t57 and the s conq so id love some tips and tricks on how to improbe my game play on those tanks
Hey qb any possibility of doing the is-7. Im not sure if you have done it already but i cant find it if u have. I keep having really good games but still cant get ace tanker.
Yea..... I have finished the field mods. I have started terrible with it ... some 20 % winrate. (a lot of bad luck there) and I ramped it up back to something like 45. The main issue - the mantlet. Everyone knows about it. If you stop for just a little bit, gou get smashed there. Nobody bothers to shoot my lower plate, everyone goes trough the mantlet. So if you play like a madman and never stop, it works. But once you stop, you get rekt hard.
Pz. 7 needs a buff and to be able to mount the same gun as the VK 72.01K. Gold rounds go straight through the gun mantlet and the side weak spots are silly for a side scraping tank. It's an OK tank if the reds are firing standards at you but it's an xp pinata vs pretty much anything T9 and T10 firing gold.
Yeah it really is a great tank, I grinded with it for HT 15(obj. 260) and I did it with it Just the gold spam is annoying, when you know you have frontal armor which you can shrub enemy's of, but the load the 2 and don't care anymore
Just researched the Pz VII yesterday and am currently saving credits to buy it. Can’t wait to try it out!! Need to decide if I sell or keep the tier 9 VK, which I love
Tried a more 'hull first' approach and got absolutely peppered with gold rounds lol its not worth it, at least on NA when the entire hit log is gold. At least with side scraping they miss the weak point sometimes.
To be honest, i always found that tank not that bad, people don't like it a lot but with that lower plate i can just peak at corners frontally like a dumbass and it can bounce quite reliably
I enjoy it, But the thing is everyone I come across shoots like one regular round and then they are like "fuck this full gold" I think PZ deserves A bitt of an buff also with the current meta.
I samehow like it more than maus and e100, is a bit like type 5 heavie, people doesn t take you seriosly while you play it, and you can punish them for that.
a mi este tanque me gusta mucho ,cuando lo desarrolle no sabia si seria bueno o no a simple vista parecen mejores el maus o el e100 pero a resultado mucho mejor se lo aconsejo a todo aquel que le gusten los tanques gigantes y lentos
Pz7 needs a buff. Its horrible, 3 marking wasn't bad but it just doesn't have dps, pen, or great armor. It needs something especially after the amx m4 got its buffs
I'm an idiot and i really like my PZ7 ! It was my first T10 and has been able to deal with the powercreep in Random Battles for all those years. I don't play it that much and always seem to do fine somehow.
Its just the stupid massive side weskspots, stopping it being able to sidescrape that stopped me playing it. . My clan war version VK looks identical, but doesn't have the side weakspots, so just works miles better.
Pz7 works only against potatoes because it's an obscure tank with obscure weakpoints once players learn you can butcher its side bulges and mantlet with a T8 the wr will drop
I love that people are getting into this tank this year! I went for this tank last year, and the skin sold me on trying this notoriously bad tank. In my experience, it's a rock solid tank that can take advantage of rushed shots and lack of knowledge very well. It can brawl very well, but overextend and tier 8s will eat you alive.
it does but they are just random pixel points more or less. I'm convinced it was some error importing the 3d model and they just never bothered to fix it.
Excellent advice for this tank, playing it like an idiot. It's the only tier 10 I can relatively consistently have fun tier 10 games in. Nothing beats that moment where you see them start panicking. They stop shooting you the moment they reload, they try to shoot past you, their tank starts to fidget and they end up against a wall, horizontally or vertically. It's the only tank I can get that in. Although of course you fade away very fast against someone who DOES know what they have to do, but if you're as average as me that's always the case.
Absolutely true! I am a German tank lover in this game, but I have never cosidered of picking this tank up, but after viewing this video, and having the discount I decided to give it a chance, escpecially since I had a spare German HT crew in my barracks. In my very first battle I finished with 5200 dmg (unfortunately we lost though), and it was a joy to see that most players were clueless when I exposed my hull at the corner, as QB suggested. I bounced quite some 340 HEAT shells with the lower plate and with the tracks. It is always nice to have a good score with a so called out of meta tank. 🙂
"Although of course you fade away very fast against someone who DOES know what they have to do, but if you're as average as me that's always the case." For sure, no matter what tank you are using a good player will almost always abuse you. "It's the only tier 10 I can relatively consistently have fun tier 10 games in. " The Maus is also fun, especially when I platoon with my son and we have like almost 7k HP, and we are just bouncing shells after shells. Sure the Maus also has its issue with the turret cheeks, so dealing damage with it is not so easy. However with the Pz VII you can easily bait players who have less knowledge and experience. Most people thinks, oh that"s a German tank, so lower plate must be weak, and as you wrote when they cannot pen you there they are panicking. Still there are sooo many average and below average players at T10. Being an average player myself I need kind of "idiot proof" tank, or at least a tank that can be played in a silly way. 🙂
I think I'm stopping at tier9 because I am grinding ebr line too currently and I also just bought badger which made me in need for more credits. My question is do you play the tier 9 the same way too?
I do find it funny that every tank that can actually push the tempo of the game and dig out all the campers at the back they nerf. It is has no lower plate that every noob can spam gold into, take it out of the game.
This was actually my first T10, I was going towards the Maus, I had the VK 4502 b and then they changed the tree lmao. So I just decided to continue on to the Pz. VII

Hey, QB: ever thought of doing a master class for the maps?
Hey qb started watching a few yrs ago for fun and stopped playing for a while and when I came back recently I started playing a lot more like you say and it has helped so much learning about all of the tanks and their weakness
I just got the Pz.7 a week ago after having it researched for awhile and have found myself really enjoying it. I don't have the Maus, but so far I want to say it might be the best German heavy.
Holy cow! I’ve wanted a PZ 7 video since 2016 and the most kills of 2020 video was just a hold off solution for my desires… Thank you Qb!!!
I'm sold. Starting this tech tree line today.
I got this tank last month and its quickly becoming one of my favourites.

The most frustrating thing about this tank is the mantlet, 210 mm is enough to pen it.
that’s why he said something about not going hull down so they shoot at your hull instead
@@thomasthomasthomas296 Yea I know, but rarely people try to shoot the front plate. Most of the higher tier opponents wait for me to take a shot.
This was one of my first tier x tanks ever and LOVE its reliability..bullying made easy
I was grinding for the Maus long ago and the tree switched, do u think it’s still worth finishing the tree because I just want a tier 10 now, I’m done waiting 😂👍🏿?
I reckon if this thing had the same side skirts as the E100, (as in wide enough to cover the side weak spots) It would be a MUCH better tank.
Honestly if they just made the turret good it would be way better
@@Adam-hy1du That too.
If that happened that what advantages would the maus have over this tank? Im a mt main so not really knowledgeable with ht gameplay
@@neeevirus maus has better dpm and overall better armour and protection against arty
@@louayankit2888 Yeah I agree, the pz7 is only good at bullying solo tanks, the Maus is better at baiting shots and acting as mobile cover for smaller tanks.

QB, it's almost Christmas, make sure you do your annual rate all tier X tanks!
i hav this tank cause it looks bad ass, that being said ill try and do that exposing the frontal armor instead of side scraping and hoping the enemy dont know about the weak spot
thanks to you i had a really good game and uploaded it (:
the info on how to uss this tank was really good
during your armour review, you missed that the gun-mantlet is a weakpoint aswell
Watch from 15:26. He says about it there.
never knew the pz 7 was so fast! turbos are nuts
Will try this tank out for 100 games great show
Lol he has like 300 games on it XD
It also looks like one of the baddies in Dr Who. From the back the turret looks like the head of one of the Sontarans!!!
Please do more Master Class Videos! , They are great!

glad to see a master class on this tank. its my 2nd most played tank, and my first tier 10.
The is4 is my nr1 favourite t10 heavy, that thing with its heat is absolutely brutal
Was hoping they put this tank in a battle pass and buff the tank a bit…used to be my favorite tanks…just the looks of it
Was just making the tough choice between this line vs the maus. Currently grinding the tiger p
I've been surprised by the Jack of all trades that it is. 1st tier X so I love it. Had a fun game in it the other day, and I'm looking for more.

Why does he say from a marking perspective, tracking and assistance don't add up?
Hey qb any possibility of doing the is-7. Im not sure if you have done it already but i cant find it if u have. I keep having really good games but still cant get ace tanker.

Just researched the Pz VII yesterday and am currently saving credits to buy it. Can’t wait to try it out!! Need to decide if I sell or keep the tier 9 VK, which I love
It's a keeper, that whole line is nice.
Press W to win, love it
Imma play soon wot but what tank should I get the Pz. VII or the Vk 72.01 k? I played the Vk 72.01 k on wotb loved it.
Indeed i enjoy it as im focusing to get this tank but sadly im still at tier 6 😂. Ty! Q.B.
Am I the only one who noticed that lights on the skin are changing colors? 😆 Nicely visible at 7:24
Tried a more 'hull first' approach and got absolutely peppered with gold rounds lol its not worth it, at least on NA when the entire hit log is gold. At least with side scraping they miss the weak point sometimes.
Hey QB, why don't you make a master class on the Maus ?
You could have mentionned the mantelet weakspot. It's a huge hole in the tank armor and knowing about it is important when playing the PZ 7
The last tank I would´ve expected him to do a master class on, but I´m not reluctant that it happened
Play it like a derplord. Got ya 👍
this tank either needs a dpm buff or they should fix the mantlet armor
DpM for super heavy? No. But the buff on mantlet could be worked.
i kinda play the chrysler like that too lol
this is suitable for me i think...i always play like this with all tanks : )))
Finally a PZ 7 videooo
I can (barely) understand strange weakspots on this tank, but for me thing that holding it down is low dpm. WG should buff it
how do i get the second line of tanks in the garage
You can use experimental equipment for HP + internal modules HP
To be honest, i always found that tank not that bad, people don't like it a lot but with that lower plate i can just peak at corners frontally like a dumbass and it can bounce quite reliably
Hi QB can you share the ZOOM mod that you use ... thank Happy Hunting
I enjoy it,
But the thing is everyone I come across shoots like one regular round and then they are like "fuck this full gold"
I think PZ deserves A bitt of an buff also with the current meta.
I samehow like it more than maus and e100, is a bit like type 5 heavie, people doesn t take you seriosly while you play it, and you can punish them for that.
We need one for jpz e100

I don't believe that you haven't been hit by any hold that round. Every game I go in. Any tier. It's all gold even at tier 3 and 4
Its just the stupid massive side weskspots, stopping it being able to sidescrape that stopped me playing it. . My clan war version VK looks identical, but doesn't have the side weakspots, so just works miles better.
Pz7 works only against potatoes because it's an obscure tank with obscure weakpoints once players learn you can butcher its side bulges and mantlet with a T8 the wr will drop
What style is that on the tank?
Pz. VII's gun mantle is hot garbage if the "premium" ammo is AP or APCR since they mostly overmatch the thin plate behind it.
It’s a great tank for people who wanna play aggressively like me
I love that people are getting into this tank this year! I went for this tank last year, and the skin sold me on trying this notoriously bad tank.
In my experience, it's a rock solid tank that can take advantage of rushed shots and lack of knowledge very well. It can brawl very well, but overextend and tier 8s will eat you alive.
When you have tanks in the game like the tiger maus that is a better tank at T9 than this, I don't know why anyone would play the Pz. VII
yea nice to push when u got several team mates that help. normal wot game u push and all others watch and then u die.
Arty like me in this Tank..
Why doesn’t the armor profile show the weakness in the mantlet?
it does but they are just random pixel points more or less. I'm convinced it was some error importing the 3d model and they just never bothered to fix it.
@@ieatstheinternet thanks. I always see skil4ltu penning it in the mantlet and it’s one of the reasons I stopped playing it.
Wow! None of the tier X heavies fired gold rounds at you in the second battle up on the hill. I can tell you weren't playing on the NA server.
TLDR;
Just go yolo and don't let your opponents time to think otherwise they'll rape your german armor with easy ammo.

Gotta sum it up: it's def in the top 3 of the worst HTs.
if every idiot gets this tank,its gone be a rough game
