I am very honored to be on your channel quickybaby. and just so everyone knows the Rhm Borsig wasn't a bad player. My first shot into him destroyed his engine which is why he didn't turn his hull with his turret. also during a lot of the low parts of that game I was actually trying to get my small fan running and putting my hand in front of it to get rid of all the sweat. it was such an intense game. Thanks again for making me FAMOUS QB! :D
TheThanimal Except Borsig should have stayed back and never came out into open. Worse yet he came out into open *AFTER* JP was dead. I guess he was trying to help, but too late. And how did arty end up alone without any support knowing that light tank is on the loose? Looks like they were way too confident and gave you no respect.
TheThanimal Recommended equipment? I did scout loadout, camo, optics and binocs. So do you recommend more of a medium tank setup? optics,vents, rammer?
slobodanc Yes I run it more like a medium. For Equipment I am currently running Gun Rammer, Vertical Stab. and binocs. For crew skills I wanted to make sure it could still do a scouts work. Commander I have sixth sense and camo Gunner I have camo and snapshot (to aid in fireing on the move. QB remarked about how much damage I did while on the move) Driver has Clutch Breaking (again that came in handy during that battle and makes the tank handle like a light tank a bit more.) and camo Radio Operater has Camo and situational awareness Loader has Camo and Repairs. All second skills on the crews are at 79% Thanks for the question Slobodanc. I think I am going to be streaming more often and putting up more videos on my youtube. :) I stream at www.twitch.tv/Thanimal you can follow me there. Cheers all :)
@@TheThanimal Hey Thanimal! Now that the “awful” panther is in super test, what do you think about it now compared to what it had? Do you think it is brilliant that it’s coming back, are you disappointed with its rof nerf, or are you staying away from this game because they changed everything about it?
12:00 - just to note, I think that the Borsig actually had his engine knocked out with the first shot or something, because looking at his reaction and his general stats I think it's unlikely that he simply refused to turn his tracks around with his turret
Арсентий Питерский Yes those 2 TDs in the end, JP and Borsig were idiots. Just driving forward into open and not waiting for each other is asking for trouble.
Hi Quickybaby, what do you think of "Facerig" which is on Sale at Steam? Would do nicely for Jingles to animate his Alter-Ego from WoW and to comment his videos with dont you think? (sorry for my butchered english, im german and a bit "rusty" with english)
First I lost my T-50-2. Then, I lost this cute Panther. And then, I tried to get rid SP I C ASAP and replace it with Ru 251. I really missed my T-50-2 and Aufkl. Panther.
random shizzle sure, if it existed on the PS4 at any point in its tech-tree condition.... i dont play on the PS4 so i dont know the timing of that console however, if you had the old regular AufPanther at ANY point and played even ONE game in it, you can get it restored in its Premium version :)
9:40 - That's artillery, not a TD quicky :) I would say forgetful.. but there is a massive dot square both him and everyone knows that no brit TD's have 'fv' in their name...
QuickyBabyTV i know i find it funny still love the videos and you were probably thinking of the rhm or the other tds that were on the battlefield and i cant believe you replied. shows the professionalism you have keep it up.
+QuickyBaby You`r german pronunciation is rather good, in respect of the fact that you are living in London and grown up in Great Britian. And its okay if you maybe say, that the FV207 is a TD, cause we all have eyes and can read ^^ By the way; The Leopard is the German Tier 5 light tank :)
Lt. Ancenagon yes i just wanted to take that note but he was looking at the rhm at the time which is a td and i think he got confused but he did say that he does these in 1 take and is very professional of him to comment on here.
The problem with the Awful Panther is that it doesn't really do anything particularly well. You're too big and sluggish for ELC type active scouting. It's just too easy to hit a thing this big. Your camo is awful for a light tank. There are mediums with better camo ratings, so it's not that amazing at passive scouting either. If you want to do damage like in this video, you're just a badly armored, under-gunned medium tank with half the usual HP. The guy in the video would have absolutely destroyed the other team if he had been in a medium tank. It wouldn't even have been close with their continuing to go alone against him. Besides, if you get a scout tank with the plan of getting 7 kills and thousands of damage, you'll most likely be a waste of a team slot in most cases. It's what usually leads to suicide scouting. For helping your team this thing just isn't that good, since other tanks do everything much better than this one. It can still work of course, but it makes things harder than they have to be. :p
I guess what it has going for it is it's combination of speed, light tank camo(works while moving) and a poppy gun. This thing trades armor for mobility, which as seen in the video, really decided the game for Animal.
dragonheart967 Sure, but being mediocre at everything is very rarely more useful than having a real strength. It still doesn't have enough armor to be able to rely on it at all. Expect to bounce nothing. Ever. Well, maybe besides smaller scouts like 59-16, Leopard etc. Play it like you don't have any armor. Having a bit more armor is useful for those arty splashes, but from my scouting experience, that isn't really what you usually worry about killing you in the first place. A direct hit from one of them will still one-shot you. Oh, and about the camo thing.. It's too big to use a lot of the good passive spots, since the bushes won't cover it.
Gnawer Shreth I'm talking about keeping the camo up while moving, as in mobility does not give you away. Which helps when you are within an enemies view range but you need to get out.
dragonheart967 Correct, but that really doesn't help that much, when your camo is shit to begin with. I mean, it's still nice of course, but they have a higher chance of spotting you (moving or not) than a T54 or whatever sitting next to you.
You can make every tank work (yes, even the M3 Lee). You just need to develop a playstyle that suits you and the tank. This comes with the price of limitation and repetitiveness and sometimes you just have to accept that the tank won't work in a particular situation. But still, you can make it work.
Showing a single game is NEVER an argument for how good or bad a tank is. Showing an exceptional good player having the game (and luck) of his life does not change the general estimation that players have of this tank.
I'm really enjoying my Auf. Panther atm. You can't play it like a traditional scout - its too big. But it plays as a support tank very well! Like QB said, it plays much more like a medium sniper/flanker
10:12 is a key match winning moment for me. What looks like a questionable move stopping in the open in front of a full HP Jagdpanther, his map knowledge allowed him to make the correct decision and reverse into cover behind that small hill. I believe any other decision at that point would have led to his demise. Sure he got lucky on the T25AT but as they say, you make your own luck and that prior decision was the making of it.
Amazing performance, When I had the Awfullykrap panzer "guess ill have to call it something else now" I found everyone hit me in the turret usually killing me instantly. maybe its because I was trying to snipe with it rather than as a mobile light tank. I sold it after I unlocked all the modules. Now bought it back because I really want the New German light that follows it.
This is by far my most favorite light tank in the whole game. It was such a good rammer against other light tanks due to its weight; which made dueling with multiple enemies much more easier. It's a shame that WG replaced this magnificent tank with an auto-loading lunchbox
From watching this replay it seems to me that it's very similar to the cromwell only a tier higher and with a light tank camo bonus. I just picked up the german LT line and i'm looking forward to playing the "awful" panther.
Well this video sold me on the Awful Panther. I've had the Vk28.01 for a long time and I enjoy it so much, but from all the things I hear about the Awful Panther I've never decided to go any further, but now I'll give it a shot.
Thanks for posting a positive video of this tank. It isn't the best light tank of its tier by any means, but it has a number of advantages that most people don't talk about very often. I'm convinced that the reason people have so much hate for it is that it can't scout to save its life. But play it as a medium with insane DPM (229 more than the Comet WITH higher pen) and it shines.
Actually, I thought the Jagdpanther at the end was actually trying to get out to where the Borsig could cover him, allowing him to turn around, as the Borsigig could shoot the Auf. Panther if he tried to stay on the Jagdpanther's back/side.
It's a Light/Medium hybrid tank. If you can't get over a 50% win rate, you are doing it wrong. BigJohnsonLogan on NA Server: Aufklärungspanzer Panther Germany LT 7 85 58.82% Win Rate.
This was without a doubt, in my mind at least, the best match I have ever seen this tank in. Played to perfection as far as I'm concerned! For a tank that was talked down for any number of reasons when it first appeared in game I was convinced that it was worthless. How wrong can you be? Keep up the great work!
The most fun part of this tank for me was to ram down any other light tank, special all those hard to hit sneaky french ELC, AMX and even the bat chat 25T, on the side ramming some artys was also fun, and avoiding ramming kills from non German tanks was also hilarious! The worst part is trying to play it as a scout, its just to damn big to hide behind bushes..
The gun and it's reload is what really makes this tank a beast. The camp rating is worse than that of a standing Ferdinand but that does not matter as your enemies will be dead before they got to retaliate.
I have Aufk Panzer, and it does REALLY AMAZING! It's DPS isn't shy, it's HP isnt gonna 1/2-hit kills, and its FAST! I like playing with it and enjoy it the most! Sad that I have to sold it, cuz I need quick money to get another tank...
OMG! That was one of the best games I've ever seen! Smart, smart play!. My 21 gun salute to you Thanimal! Thanks QB for another awesome replay. More power QB :)
i have played this thing alot, and few tips: use armor, i have been bouncing some tier 10 shots and ram everything lighter than you, seriously, i have so much kamikaze medals with Awful panter and use that 75 mm, dont just scout for your team
The only major Problem this tank has is the fact that the stock grind is horrible. Starting with a T4 gun is just major bull and then getting the turret to unlock the gun. And the thing that turns this tank into something worth playing is the engine which is like 24k XP.
The scout panther is what happens when you try to make a jack of all trades tank for a highly specialized role. It lacks the camo for a light tank and it lacks the armor, HP, and gun of a medium tank so 9/10 out of ten you could have done the same, if not better in almost any other tank in the same tier and class as this one.
Hey quickybaby I just wanted to say I love your vids! I'm currently in the hospital because I broke my hip from a car crash:( your vids have definitely kept me happy! Plz keep up the good work!
Looks like it handles a lot like my T71, only fatter. I am not a big fan of my auto-loaders, so I might like this tank. Maybe I will pick it up sometime. I have a long grind though as I have very few German tanks.
It was an awesome work by him my ace in the awful panther wasnt quite as spactaculaf as this i think the awful panther can be just a great tank if you can put its rof to work, but sometimes its really frustrating due to its size and no good camo for a light
I love the Aufkl. panther and consider it the best panther really. I sold it awhile ago because I felt the chinese line was more suited, but I have re-bought it (for the 3rd time now) to get some more play time in it. To answer QB -- the problem with the Aufkl. is not the lack of camo or it's huge size but rather the gun - when they replaced the konish with that excuse of a gun, they really hurt this tank (which was not the intended target of the nerf). But yes, it does thrive, especially when you come up against bad players.
WOW! I was apprehensive about getting to this tank. IM on the VK2801 at the moment, which I LOVE. But I had heard so many negative things about the AuflkPanther. But watching this, MAN. I gives me a much better perspective, and on how to play it. I really play the VK2801 like this, but it being a howitzer tank, when faced with higher tier stuff its not as easy to come out on top. This looks to be an amazing tank, cant wait to get to it =3
I also feel the Awful Panther rather good, I had a 1700 base exp round in it too. Not the best tank in the game, but its gun and weight should never be underestimated in the hands of an experienced player. And I loved the feeling when my teammates said: "Wow you are the first awful panther player I see doing something in the battle!". :)
wouldn't really say the tank was anything special, more like the driver was great at handling a light tank and was blessed with over whelming numbers of tank destroyers he could get behind and kill.
Finaly... Someone who knows how to play the Aufcl. Panther . And it really is a medium tank and should be played like one... (his camo raiting is really not so good) I also have this tank and I had some games when I did the most damage in a T 10 game , but never a good result like this one...GREAT JOB !
this tank isnt actually to bad its more of a sniper than a scout its the perfect example of how not all lights are scouts this thing staying at range and out of view too avoid being annihilated then during the end game you can use your hp and mobility to so some serious damage during the climax of a game and also to ram arty and other scouts. im excited to get sixth sense so i can be a little more brave at firing from closer ranges an know when arty and the tds are zeroing in on me.
TheBlazinAsian XIV Of course light's can be snipers and scouts, don't be that guy that rages when your elc amx doesn't decide to suicide scout. Light tanks can be great snipers when they use their speed and camo to get to aggressive positions most mediums and tank destroyers can't normally get to, and provide great sniping fire into the flanks of others who don't usually expect gunfire to be coming from a spot in the middle. Tanks like the ELC AMX can be played like E25's except with higher alpha and more speed. Whilst tanks like the Auth. Panther and Type maintain play styles quite similar to that of cromwells/ comets and panthers.
TheBlazinAsian XIV i get the feeling you dont own this thing and besides this is what works for me but may not work for you but it makes this tank more usable.
TheBlazinAsian XIV scout is a role, not a class. it can be tried by any tank, except some are better at it. some LTs with guns worth keeping in the game shouldn't just suicide off into the enemy.
Ok...let me reword my first comment: Scouts are spotters first, attackers 2nd, I won't go "fucking hell! Passive scouting dmg stealing scout fiend" if you're actually spotting tanks and using bush- camo-kemp to your advantage, but sniping refers to snipers, which are long range action units....If you're camping back with the fucking tank destroyers, then you're doing it wrong, if you're in the lead shooting and spotting tanks without dying, then bravo to you sir o7 EDIT: Forgot to mention Intel towards "sui-scouting", being aggressive and spotting shit doesn't mean you're gonna die, literally tho, "if you're playing a SCOUT as a "SNIPER" then you're doing it WRONG" I don't give a literal shit to your arguments of "oh...but, I hv no hp, good dpm, I should totally snipe, plus, I hv OP bush-camo-kemp powers", no, no.....those are for "tank destroyers", that's THEIR arguement for staying back, you're not them. A scout's role is scouting.....why the literal fuck do you think it's called a scout? Why give it great camo? Why give it good dpm? Many ppl would answer the camp and dpm questions as I just posted above as "sniping!"...If you actually understand detecting mechanics, you can be 51 meters away from an enemy and still rape the literal shit out of him, while 1.spotting him, AND 2. Dmging him. If you're gonna do it "RIGHT" and are a competent player, then you'll have great success, scouting AND dmging, only terribads sui-scout.....or greats being countered by OP greater t10 meds. ..:/ this is why I enjoy my t62-a and 121 over my t-64 and wz scout series, but the potential is still there
Nice play. But i think the future in the WOT is: Just throw away your ht's,meds,td's and artys and play with your light tanks. High penetration,good reloading time and 50-80km/h speedlimits. :D
The worst thing for me about this tank is the mm-luck I have: Over all wr is almost 55%, but in AufP 41% (after 115 games). Not sure if its my, mm or tanks fault - but it makes me not want to play it. And now I have to do it again to get the RU :(
I think that RHM's Engine was knocked out. I highly doubt that guy just stopped turning hit turret I know how much the Rhm can get its engine knocked out.
It really isn't that bad, I've been pleasantly surprised by it and may actually keep it. Playing it like a mini-E-50 has been working pretty well so far for me.
i had about 300 battles with this panther, and for me it was awful, so i havent got even a single ace tanker.... after a few months i played on one my friends account with the panther and did ace tanker with new highscore for most xp for the account... its just about the experience that one player has.
What I saw was only one player that understands and takes advantage of the situation, no one else had a clue and played like they were the only tank that mattered. That's the biggest hurdle in this game, everyone wants to lone wolf, nobody wants to cooperate. The me,me,me mentality in a team based game.
The actual problem of it is that it has scout matchmaking. Most light tanks and some mediums will do a better job at scouting and the ability to relatively easy intercept active scout and kill them is not balancing the fact that due to matchmaking the other team will have a better scout tank unless it's another aufkl.panther (in which case both have to fight to the death by ramming). The tank can be successful when playing it as a scout killer, sniper and late game medium like flanker. But I think this tanks implementation in the techtree is just wrong. Replacing it with a different tier 7 scout and putting it as link between the Panther and the Ru 251 would be a good idea. There are lots of ways to improve this tank, removing the scout matchmaking would be best, turning it into a medium or giving it medium like health would be other ideas. I like that this is an actually mobile tank, which the tier 6 and 7 german mediums are certainly not.
Wow! Very nice Thanimal. I recently got my (Awful Panther) and beside the fact that the stock grind. including a tier 5 turret and a tier 4 gun its acutaly funnzies. Btw derp gun using HE is the best way to grind to that top gun! At almost 27k battles, I still look for for some good advice and tips from you and Jingles. Being up in age myself I can try to match your guys skill, but it never works! Too bad you guys are on the EU server! Keep up on the good work.
what's good about this tank? it is because you're heavy enough to stop some TDs from turning we all now how dissapointing it is when they shoot that gun at us lights and also this tank is good for ramming other lights
Thumbs up QB for your Aufklärungspanzer Pronunciation it's actually really good :) you just put in one s too many after the f so it would be aufsklärungspanzer I'm not sure wheter my english pronunciation is that good
Once the LTTB is out this tank becomes tactically useless, besides that it is useless already right now. It gets spotted even before an IS-3(8,7,4) and is too sluggish even though it has a powerfull engine and its gun is rubbish with only 157mm penetration (considering the large size) for a tank that has to face tier10 tanks quite often and gets matched even against Tier8 light tanks. Besides that its view range is too low with only 390m and most teams will start offending you for "not going to spot" which is close to impossible with a tank that can be seen over the entire map and can't see the enemy in reverse. Oh and it can't mount the 30mm auto-cannon of the leopard even though they share the same turret.
No i dont think its bad. I just think it has such a unique play style its hard to get the hang of. It really is a med and light hybrid that needs skill to handle.
I am very honored to be on your channel quickybaby. and just so everyone knows the Rhm Borsig wasn't a bad player.

Just say Panther. ;o)
Aufkl, stands for Aufklärer and means Scout.
It's 2017 and I still want this tank back. Miss it so much.
DarkRavin07 I just bought it on console
Brody Banister not fair haha.
WG is planing 2 make it a tier 8 premium
Well it's almost 2021 now and jmtoday WG anounced "Awful" Panther's statistics from supertest as a tier VII light. It looks great to me.
@@adioperta1451 Hello from the future
First I lost my T-50-2. Then, I lost this cute Panther. And then, I tried to get rid SP I C ASAP and replace it with Ru 251.

in my opinion you should have a choice between the 2
Wish they'd do what they did with console and bring the T-50-2 back, and maybe the Aufklarungspanzer Panther (in HD detail too)
Didn't you get premium aufkl panther when they switched it to sp1c?
nvm, it happened only in console (?)

The problem with the Awful Panther is that it doesn't really do anything particularly well.
You're too big and sluggish for ELC type active scouting. It's just too easy to hit a thing this big.
Your camo is awful for a light tank. There are mediums with better camo ratings, so it's not that amazing at passive scouting either.
If you want to do damage like in this video, you're just a badly armored, under-gunned medium tank with half the usual HP. The guy in the video would have absolutely destroyed the other team if he had been in a medium tank. It wouldn't even have been close with their continuing to go alone against him.
Besides, if you get a scout tank with the plan of getting 7 kills and thousands of damage, you'll most likely be a waste of a team slot in most cases. It's what usually leads to suicide scouting.
For helping your team this thing just isn't that good, since other tanks do everything much better than this one. It can still work of course, but it makes things harder than they have to be. :p
I guess what it has going for it is it's combination of speed, light tank camo(works while moving) and a poppy gun. This thing trades armor for mobility, which as seen in the video, really decided the game for Animal.
dragonheart967 Sure, but being mediocre at everything is very rarely more useful than having a real strength. It still doesn't have enough armor to be able to rely on it at all. Expect to bounce nothing. Ever. Well, maybe besides smaller scouts like 59-16, Leopard etc. Play it like you don't have any armor.
Having a bit more armor is useful for those arty splashes, but from my scouting experience, that isn't really what you usually worry about killing you in the first place. A direct hit from one of them will still one-shot you.
Oh, and about the camo thing.. It's too big to use a lot of the good passive spots, since the bushes won't cover it.
yeah but it is a lot faster then a med
Gnawer Shreth I'm talking about keeping the camo up while moving, as in mobility does not give you away. Which helps when you are within an enemies view range but you need to get out.
dragonheart967 Correct, but that really doesn't help that much, when your camo is shit to begin with. I mean, it's still nice of course, but they have a higher chance of spotting you (moving or not) than a T54 or whatever sitting next to you.
You can make every tank work (yes, even the M3 Lee). You just need to develop a playstyle that suits you and the tank. This comes with the price of limitation and repetitiveness and sometimes you just have to accept that the tank won't work in a particular situation. But still, you can make it work.
Showing a single game is NEVER an argument for how good or bad a tank is. Showing an exceptional good player having the game (and luck) of his life does not change the general estimation that players have of this tank.

What looks like a questionable move stopping in the open in front of a full HP Jagdpanther, his map knowledge allowed him to make the correct decision and reverse into cover behind that small hill. I believe any other decision at that point would have led to his demise. Sure he got lucky on the T25AT but as they say, you make your own luck and that prior decision was the making of it.
Amazing performance, When I had the Awfullykrap panzer "guess ill have to call it something else now" I found everyone hit me in the turret usually killing me instantly. maybe its because I was trying to snipe with it rather than as a mobile light tank. I sold it after I unlocked all the modules. Now bought it back because I really want the New German light that follows it.
9:39 QB said: He spots the tier 8 British tank destroyer! you mean artillery!
This is by far my most favorite light tank in the whole game. It was such a good rammer against other light tanks due to its weight; which made dueling with multiple enemies much more easier. It's a shame that WG replaced this magnificent tank with an auto-loading lunchbox
From watching this replay it seems to me that it's very similar to the cromwell only a tier higher and with a light tank camo bonus. I just picked up the german LT line and i'm looking forward to playing the "awful" panther.
Well this video sold me on the Awful Panther. I've had the Vk28.01 for a long time and I enjoy it so much, but from all the things I hear about the Awful Panther I've never decided to go any further, but now I'll give it a shot.
what a great tank driver Thanimal is, very aware and tactical - its a joy to watch
Thanks for posting a positive video of this tank. It isn't the best light tank of its tier by any means, but it has a number of advantages that most people don't talk about very often. I'm convinced that the reason people have so much hate for it is that it can't scout to save its life. But play it as a medium with insane DPM (229 more than the Comet WITH higher pen) and it shines.
Actually, I thought the Jagdpanther at the end was actually trying to get out to where the Borsig could cover him, allowing him to turn around, as the Borsigig could shoot the Auf. Panther if he tried to stay on the Jagdpanther's back/side.
Effectively this is an 40 ton E-25 with a turret -__________-
Manilla Ice sad that they removed it
My...... such a brilliant driving for the APanther.
Though, the large equipment was a nice boost. Still, the driving and aim was the key. Kudos!
It's a Light/Medium hybrid tank. If you can't get over a 50% win rate, you are doing it wrong.

Aufklärungspanzer Panther Germany LT 7 85 58.82% Win Rate.
Two things how can i get the player rating in after action report;
Does a light tank get an exp bonus for shooting TDs, Heavies ect?
with this replay i learned that having an awsome game on a light tank = an average game on any other class
This was without a doubt, in my mind at least, the best match I have ever seen this tank in. Played to perfection as far as I'm concerned! For a tank that was talked down for any number of reasons when it first appeared in game I was convinced that it was worthless. How wrong can you be? Keep up the great work!
I've played it on the test server and I loved it so now i'm grinding the Leopard. So much fun...
The most fun part of this tank for me was to ram down any other light tank, special all those hard to hit sneaky french ELC, AMX and even the bat chat 25T, on the side ramming some artys was also fun, and avoiding ramming kills from non German tanks was also hilarious! The worst part is trying to play it as a scout, its just to damn big to hide behind bushes..
The gun and it's reload is what really makes this tank a beast. The camp rating is worse than that of a standing Ferdinand but that does not matter as your enemies will be dead before they got to retaliate.
I have Aufk Panzer, and it does REALLY AMAZING! It's DPS isn't shy, it's HP isnt gonna 1/2-hit kills, and its FAST! I like playing with it and enjoy it the most!
Sad that I have to sold it, cuz I need quick money to get another tank...
at 5:05 he said that the leopard is the tier 4 German light tank while the luchs is and the leopard is the tier 5 German light tank
coolkid _71 that was before they changed it
How do you get the minimap to show the last known location of enemy tanks?
That's why I never bothered to to 152mm on the borsig. :D
And great play for the Awful Panther..Salute
OMG! That was one of the best games I've ever seen! Smart, smart play!. My 21 gun salute to you Thanimal! Thanks QB for another awesome replay. More power QB :)
i have played this thing alot, and few tips: use armor, i have been bouncing some tier 10 shots and ram everything lighter than you, seriously, i have so much kamikaze medals with Awful panter and use that 75 mm, dont just scout for your team
The only major Problem this tank has is the fact that the stock grind is horrible. Starting with a T4 gun is just major bull and then getting the turret to unlock the gun. And the thing that turns this tank into something worth playing is the engine which is like 24k XP.
Suddenly looking forward to AK Panther. I hope the 75mm comes with the 2801 turret on Xbox with the packages.
The scout panther is what happens when you try to make a jack of all trades tank for a highly specialized role. It lacks the camo for a light tank and it lacks the armor, HP, and gun of a medium tank so 9/10 out of ten you could have done the same, if not better in almost any other tank in the same tier and class as this one.
Hey quickybaby I just wanted to say I love your vids! I'm currently in the hospital because I broke my hip from a car crash:( your vids have definitely kept me happy! Plz keep up the good work!
That was one of THE BEST replays I have ever seen. 4 on 1 . OMG great job man...
One of THE best replays ive seen, Nice work dude. This gives me hope for playin the awful panther
Step 1: Choose this tank
Step 2: Blast the "Pink Panther" theme
Result: Super sneaky scout panther
Looks like it handles a lot like my T71, only fatter. I am not a big fan of my auto-loaders, so I might like this tank. Maybe I will pick it up sometime. I have a long grind though as I have very few German tanks.
He was a bit lucky because that TD players were bad, but he did well against them.
Borsig was probably struggling to repair his engine
I've played one of these on the test server and had lots of fun. Very capable machine. I just need to grow my skills.
Quicky, why do you have the effects disabled?! That ammo wrack would have been just Spectacular!
anyone know what equipment he was using? besides binocs obvs.
It was an awesome work by him
my ace in the awful panther wasnt quite as spactaculaf as this
i think the awful panther can be just a great tank if you can put its rof to work, but sometimes its really frustrating due to its size and no good camo for a light
Awesome! I always thought the AwfulPanther was worse than the Leopard or the Luchs, but this makes me want to buy it again. :)
I love the Aufkl. panther and consider it the best panther really. I sold it awhile ago because I felt the chinese line was more suited, but I have re-bought it (for the 3rd time now) to get some more play time in it.
To answer QB -- the problem with the Aufkl. is not the lack of camo or it's huge size but rather the gun - when they replaced the konish with that excuse of a gun, they really hurt this tank (which was not the intended target of the nerf). But yes, it does thrive, especially when you come up against bad players.
WOW! I was apprehensive about getting to this tank. IM on the VK2801 at the moment, which I LOVE. But I had heard so many negative things about the AuflkPanther.
But watching this, MAN. I gives me a much better perspective, and on how to play it. I really play the VK2801 like this, but it being a howitzer tank, when faced with higher tier stuff its not as easy to come out on top. This looks to be an amazing tank, cant wait to get to it =3
DraconX3
Yeah.
It almost looks to have same style as frenchies, drive by shooting and never stop. With that rate of fire it is same as auto-loaders.
I also feel the Awful Panther rather good, I had a 1700 base exp round in it too. Not the best tank in the game, but its gun and weight should never be underestimated in the hands of an experienced player.
And I loved the feeling when my teammates said: "Wow you are the first awful panther player I see doing something in the battle!". :)
leopard the tier 4 light
+Leader Of KaRu gaming ikr
Ah the nostalgia lol.
wouldn't really say the tank was anything special, more like the driver was great at handling a light tank and was blessed with over whelming numbers of tank destroyers he could get behind and kill.
Finaly... Someone who knows how to play the Aufcl. Panther .
And it really is a medium tank and should be played like one... (his camo raiting is really not so good)
I also have this tank and I had some games when I did the most damage in a T 10 game , but never a good result like this one...GREAT JOB !
While it certainly hurts early on I'm looking forward to what this thing can do fully upgraded. Nice.
Leopard is the tier 5 german light tank, the Luchs is the tier 4....
this tank isnt actually to bad its more of a sniper than a scout its the perfect example of how not all lights are scouts this thing staying at range and out of view too avoid being annihilated then during the end game you can use your hp and mobility to so some serious damage during the climax of a game and also to ram arty and other scouts. im excited to get sixth sense so i can be a little more brave at firing from closer ranges an know when arty and the tds are zeroing in on me.
If you're playing a SCOUT as a SNIPER, then you're doing it WRONG, #SCOUTSNIPER=WRONG
TheBlazinAsian XIV
Of course light's can be snipers and scouts, don't be that guy that rages when your elc amx doesn't decide to suicide scout.
Light tanks can be great snipers when they use their speed and camo to get to aggressive positions most mediums and tank destroyers can't normally get to, and provide great sniping fire into the flanks of others who don't usually expect gunfire to be coming from a spot in the middle.
Tanks like the ELC AMX can be played like E25's except with higher alpha and more speed. Whilst tanks like the Auth. Panther and Type maintain play styles quite similar to that of cromwells/ comets and panthers.
TheBlazinAsian XIV
i get the feeling you dont own this thing and besides this is what works for me but may not work for you but it makes this tank more usable.
TheBlazinAsian XIV
scout is a role, not a class. it can be tried by any tank, except some are better at it. some LTs with guns worth keeping in the game shouldn't just suicide off into the enemy.
Ok...let me reword my first comment:
Scouts are spotters first, attackers 2nd, I won't go "fucking hell! Passive scouting dmg stealing scout fiend" if you're actually spotting tanks and using bush- camo-kemp to your advantage, but sniping refers to snipers, which are long range action units....If you're camping back with the fucking tank destroyers, then you're doing it wrong, if you're in the lead shooting and spotting tanks without dying, then bravo to you sir o7
EDIT:
Forgot to mention Intel towards "sui-scouting", being aggressive and spotting shit doesn't mean you're gonna die, literally tho, "if you're playing a SCOUT as a "SNIPER" then you're doing it WRONG" I don't give a literal shit to your arguments of "oh...but, I hv no hp, good dpm, I should totally snipe, plus, I hv OP bush-camo-kemp powers", no, no.....those are for "tank destroyers", that's THEIR arguement for staying back, you're not them. A scout's role is scouting.....why the literal fuck do you think it's called a scout? Why give it great camo? Why give it good dpm? Many ppl would answer the camp and dpm questions as I just posted above as "sniping!"...If you actually understand detecting mechanics, you can be 51 meters away from an enemy and still rape the literal shit out of him, while 1.spotting him, AND 2. Dmging him. If you're gonna do it "RIGHT" and are a competent player, then you'll have great success, scouting AND dmging, only terribads sui-scout.....or greats being countered by OP greater t10 meds. ..:/ this is why I enjoy my t62-a and 121 over my t-64 and wz scout series, but the potential is still there
Nice play. But i think the future in the WOT is: Just throw away your ht's,meds,td's and artys and play with your light tanks. High penetration,good reloading time and 50-80km/h speedlimits. :D
75mm cannon? the one that KV-1 gunna have?
RIP AufklarungsPanzer Panther :
what happened to this tank did it get removed
The worst thing for me about this tank is the mm-luck I have: Over all wr is almost 55%, but in AufP 41% (after 115 games). Not sure if its my, mm or tanks fault - but it makes me not want to play it.
And now I have to do it again to get the RU :(
Just have to update: 130 games and 39%. God damn I suck. (yesterday 6 games 1win, today 7 games 1 win)
I don't have this tank but I've never seen one do any good at all. Kudos to this guy that really carried the team in it!
Its a fun tank to play, but the fact is, its pretty crap. People who love it will love it tho.
I think that RHM's Engine was knocked out. I highly doubt that guy just stopped turning hit turret
I know how much the Rhm can get its engine knocked out.
I miss this tank :( It was my most played tank when i first started playing lol
Whatever happened to this map? I loved it. Especially the Sturm Tiger on that map.
It really isn't that bad, I've been pleasantly surprised by it and may actually keep it. Playing it like a mini-E-50 has been working pretty well so far for me.
It was my favorite tank, 764 battles before it was removed.
i had about 300 battles with this panther, and for me it was awful, so i havent got even a single ace tanker.... after a few months i played on one my friends account with the panther and did ace tanker with new highscore for most xp for the account... its just about the experience that one player has.
What I saw was only one player that understands and takes advantage of the situation, no one else had a clue and played like they were the only tank that mattered. That's the biggest hurdle in this game, everyone wants to lone wolf, nobody wants to cooperate. The me,me,me mentality in a team based game.
The actual problem of it is that it has scout matchmaking. Most light tanks and some mediums will do a better job at scouting and the ability to relatively easy intercept active scout and kill them is not balancing the fact that due to matchmaking the other team will have a better scout tank unless it's another aufkl.panther (in which case both have to fight to the death by ramming). The tank can be successful when playing it as a scout killer, sniper and late game medium like flanker. But I think this tanks implementation in the techtree is just wrong. Replacing it with a different tier 7 scout and putting it as link between the Panther and the Ru 251 would be a good idea. There are lots of ways to improve this tank, removing the scout matchmaking would be best, turning it into a medium or giving it medium like health would be other ideas.
I like that this is an actually mobile tank, which the tier 6 and 7 german mediums are certainly not.
Have you or will you do any World of Warcraft WoD videos?
does QB use server reticle?
Play it as a med and have fun ramming other light tank, hellcat, rhm,...
Feel very good when ram a lightank at full speed
I love the way you pronounce Aufklärungspanzer :D
Wow! Very nice Thanimal. I recently got my (Awful Panther) and beside the fact that the stock grind. including a tier 5 turret and a tier 4 gun its acutaly funnzies. Btw derp gun using HE is the best way to grind to that top gun! At almost 27k battles, I still look for for some good advice and tips from you and Jingles. Being up in age myself I can try to match your guys skill, but it never works! Too bad you guys are on the EU server! Keep up on the good work.
what's good about this tank? it is because you're heavy enough to stop some TDs from turning we all now how dissapointing it is when they shoot that gun at us lights and also this tank is good for ramming other lights
very good job, but very lucky against that borsig. with the borsig's track traverse, no way he should have been able to circle it.
Thumbs up QB for your Aufklärungspanzer Pronunciation it's actually really good :) you just put in one s too many after the f so it would be aufsklärungspanzer I'm not sure wheter my english pronunciation is that good
Once the LTTB is out this tank becomes tactically useless, besides that it is useless already right now. It gets spotted even before an IS-3(8,7,4) and is too sluggish even though it has a powerfull engine and its gun is rubbish with only 157mm penetration (considering the large size) for a tank that has to face tier10 tanks quite often and gets matched even against Tier8 light tanks. Besides that its view range is too low with only 390m and most teams will start offending you for "not going to spot" which is close to impossible with a tank that can be seen over the entire map and can't see the enemy in reverse.
Oh and it can't mount the 30mm auto-cannon of the leopard even though they share the same turret.
on Xbox I liked this tank quite a bit. Great fire rate. actual armour looking at you ru251. I think that the aufkl. is better than the 1375 though
how come he didn't get an ace?
step one of how to do good with the Awful panther: be a superunicum like this guy
Definitely the best replay, I have seen! I have bought this thing thrice and no go! Sick replay!!!!
"nomnomnom" - my reaction whenever I 1v1 a light tank xD
The tank looks so derpy... it's like putting a panther turret on an E100 Chassis...
No i dont think its bad. I just think it has such a unique play style its hard to get the hang of. It really is a med and light hybrid that needs skill to handle.
9:51 the dead tank in front of him moves... WoT is a horror game!
Obviously this guy is advanced at using this tank, It would be good for certain campaigns , not sure i have not played this game before
I thought this video would be about the Panther/M10 but I was wrong
hmmm- now i am thinking that the grind to the RU-251 won't be bad
Flashback from the past! Wargaming, give us more maps! Please consider reworking old maps like this one to bring us new scenery! :)
