In german and italian tanks we tend to lose our engines quite often if we get hit in the lower plate because most of these tanks has the transmission in the front. You can actually notice which tank has what kind of drive by looking at the sprockets. If the front sprockets have teeth on them, then it means that those are the ones driving the tank. Sometimes it's the best strategy to track tanks through these beacuse you'll track them and possibly kill the engine by destroying the transmission.

None of the german tanks are something you need to be scared of. They are well balanced, unlike many other nations that get unbalanced and overpowered vehicles all the time.

The E50M was actually my first Tier X tank back in the day. I loved pretty much every tank in that line, but the Panther and especially the E50 were my highlights.

Really sad, that the highest WR is just 50,63%

Always loved the 36.01, it was the tier 6 Tiger before the Tiger 131/Jap Tiger premiums came along.

I think the reason for low WR % compare to other nations, especially Soviets, is because German tanks has box turret. THICC armor but mostly flat, and everybody are firing HEAT these days which are the most effective against flat surfaces... :(

E 50 has the transmission in the front of the tank whereas it's in the rear of the E 50M. This means the 50M is much harder to set on fire and immobilise compared to the 50. I absolutely love my E 75, it feels so reliable. Saving up to rebuy my E 50M as it seems to be quite good now.

The VK3001 T5 med is also a beast for its tier. Hate to bring it up, but German arty also is nothing to shy away from, especially the T7.

You should make another video on the Maus. It's really awesome to watch you play it.

I like using hardening, turbo and rotation device on my Maus because I feel like the extra turret rotation speed helps so much when you need to angle the turret quickly.

i like the e100 15cm wayyyyy more than the maus because it does exactly the same thing but hits harder which benefits huge when trading/bad luck. you had a few situation where you traded but trading 1:1 is not very good. the 15cm trasdes more like 1.5:1

I would have to say the Hetzer was my favourite, when HE still had some punch. Other than that it would have to be the Ferdinand. Something about that TD that just resonates and I love taking it out.

Everyone is like "tiger, tiger, tiger" meanwhile me, "I want Maus, gimme Maus"

I started with German heavies as well. The aesthetic is top notch.

The E100 line was the first I got into and the only one so far I finished, making it my only tier 10 tank. I loved all of them but my favorite of those clearly is the E 75, with the tiger 2 being a close second. I played a lot in the vk100 as well and it is the Tank I just feel the most confortable with, which shows in my results. I havent bought the Mäusschen yet, despite having it unlocked.

Maus is my first heavy tank and it just rocks, I'm still playing at least 1 game every day with it whenever I bored. And it capable to do so much fun, crazy things for example getting top of the T95 🤣

I miss the days when the German light tanks were unique. Luchs and Leopard were much more effective with their machine guns, because enemies had much less HP at low tiers. The VK 28.01 had a derp gun, the SP 1 C had a 3-round autoloader and the Ru 251 was simply the best tier 8 scout.

The RU-251 is just a gorgeous tank imo

I absolutely loved my E50, I actually used the 88mm more often because of the ludicrous rate of fire but that was before the damage change to 280. I struggle in most games in my E50m since it's guaranteed tier 10. I wish it got at the very least a 10% DPM increase since everything else about the tank is basically the same besides the engine.

Awesome video Quickybaby, thank you for making a video focusing on the german lines! Love your gameplay, keep it up!

Playing the panzer IC back in the day was so much fun, you could just run around like a chicken with your head cut off. If I died really early I would still have a lot of fun and every now and then the stars align and it ends up as unintentional seal clubbing

My unforgettable memory with the VK 36.01H was playing my friend's account and using the derp gun while he was having smokes and a blast of The Man Who Can't Be Moved in the cafe. Gosh this was 10 years ago.

QB is right about new players starting to Germany Tech Tree just to get the Tiger tank. When I started back in 2012 I choose the German Tech Tree just to get Tiger.

Was really excited to see Germany in this series thank you for the content QB would be cool to see a best auto loaders video

E50 and e50m both have the engines in the rear. Give away is where the exhausts are. German tanks had the transmissions in the front engines at the back

The gun on the tier 5 tech tree med vk (h) is absolutely fab! With 221 gold pen.

Both E50 and E50M have engine on the back, but E50 has transmission on the front, while E50M on the back. Some time ago damaging transmission caused fire, but this was changed (no more fire due to damaged transmission)

I finished Heavy Tank 15 for the Obj 260 in the Maus on Prokhorovka. I found a nice light tank for extra spaced armor to cover my lower plate and angled my turret. Unfortunately we didn't win, but I got more than enough blocked to add to my dead tank hit points and the damage I had done.

Quackybabs never fear in your tier 6 heavies against a bz-176 when there is water on the map! You can in fact overpower a bz-176 with rocket boosters in your kv-2 and drown them (when you have a turbo at least)! Proved from experience :)

kinda surprised the Tiger I isn't over 50%. that thing is still very good

My favorite German tank in this game has to the the Leopard1. Great gun, great speed. But I acknowledge, that the total lack of armor and the terrible tanks to get there are quite difficult to overcome.

Wow I cannot believe the 36.01H has such a good win rate. I have been playing that tank a lot lately and it is frankly painful. That was my favorite tank in the CBT, and I really liked it for a long time, and even after the 88mm L/56 getting it's penetration raised (to a staggering 145mm from the previous 136mm), and getting a lot more HP from becoming a heavy tank, the game has power crept up on that tank it's unreal. It was a lot stronger 10 years ago when you had to fight t9s in it, you had no access to premium ammo, and it had 1/3 less HP because the power of newer vehicles is just really, really high.

Hi QB like you I had fun in the VK3601H when it was a medium but also the old PzKpfw IV with the 7.5cm L70 great at tier V. keep the vid's coming

Watching the pc version of WoT here, makes me realise how much I’m missing out on while playing it on console. I think I’ll change that. Great video thx

Maus is so big, that it can bring ELC 90 on its back 😁

Biggest difference between the E50s is the hull shape. The E50 has the underside of the hull above the tracks angled to the front thus easier exposing the under over match area where the E50M is flat and requires effort to hit. They also buffed the E50M to have more armor now.

VK3601H, first great game and first master class... Great times.

I think it is cool to see you play while filming. I would imagine though that it is more difficult being that you aren't able to quite concentrate like you would normally. My first tier x was the type 5 heavy, second was the 60TP and 3rd was the Maus. So far over all I like the Maus for the German heavies.

I was so happy when I finally unlocked the JagdE but I'm starting to hate it. Can't line up for shots in time and when I do they bounce or hit the tracks.

This puts a smile on my face as a germany main

E50 vs E50M is the turret position. I don’t think the engine moved front > back, just reconfigured to allow the turret to move a little forward. You can see the engine ventilation on both tanks to the rear.

Funnily enough, when I started playing I didn't know much about tanks. I wasn't one of the many new players that went after the Tigers. I just knew that tanks were armored vehicles and my first thought was to look at which tank had the highest armor in the game. That was the T95 with 300mm. So that was my first tier 9, but the T110E3 was not my first tier 10. By the time I got the T95 I had learned a lot more about tanks. That's when I decided to go after the German heavies. When making that decision I noticed that the Panther unlocks both the Tiger II and the Panther II, but the Tiger did not unlock both. So I made the decision to go after both the E-100 and the E-50M through the Panther, and that was the most painful decision ever. For so long the Panther stayed at the top of my career stats as my favourite tank all because it had the most plays. (Over 500 battles to get both the Tiger II and the Panther II.) It wouldn't be until the Chieftain gets added to the game that the Conqueror becomes my new most played tank. 600 battles to get the Fv-215b, the S. Conqueror, and the Chieftain.

Happy New Year Quicky!

5.45 is so true. My first two lines were tigers and black prince because I liked the name

Hell yeah Maus is still good, I used to play it on console, even if it didn't really fit my playstyle (I preferred the Chieftain which is in the tech tree) it was always a blast, T9 grind sucked though.

Id say the best part of the VK is that while it is incredibly strong and like that first battle showed can do very well even bottom tier, its still not completely OP when top tier. Perfect example imo of a well rounded well balanced tank.

Live vids are great because it's hilarious to hear QB chortling whenever he plays the Maus.

So I found this out a while ago and I wanna know how you feel about it QB but on the console version, the tanks like the Japanese heavies as well as the e100 and the maus, they have secondary guns now, imo it's cool that you can now shoot them but honestly don't think they are worth having since they can't hardly pen anything, I figured that would be on PC before console but idk , what's your opinion QB?

Started because of Fury, inmediatly fell in love with british tanks, didnt get the E8 untill years later, and then i bought the Fury.

35:30 that's what I think while playing type 5 h. Boxy tank with no significant weak point so it's a gold sponge / credit sink.

I love German tanks also. Tried all of them in the test servers back in time(From tier VIII and above). But my first tier X tank in the game was the WT E 100. I just unlocked it, bought it and then played couple of games than WG removed it from the game... + I also played the nerfed version of the WT E 100 not the OP version. Still very very sad about that tier X TD. WG should bring it back as reward tank or bring it back as a permament tank, because I would love to have this tank in my garage ONE MORE TIME before I completely quit from this game or the game itself goes down... I know there was the event but I missed it... Which is fine, its my problem but I missed it. I need WT E 100 back into the game. We already got some unbalanced tanks, so no reason why the WT E 100 cant come back to the game as a permanent tank.

this tank was always special, i also got a kolobanovs medal in it not once but twice, as a medium tank it was that is, not right now when it is a heavy, they changed the tank for some reason and i dont play it anymore. in fact, i dont play any fav tanks anymore for the last few years

The 36.01H is the Meta for tier 6 tournaments and tier 6 skirmishes. 1360 HP hardening, improved turbo, rammer. 240 alpha 5.7 sec reload, you are basically a bad tier 8 medium at that point.

i love how QB says "The Maus"

Damn that last games was really funny.

E50 is front drive driven, the transmission in front of the driver. The E50M has its drive wheels in the rear. Look at the side profile of the M, you'll see every at the rear of the vehicle. The E50 suffers from the same transmission fires as the Lowe, King Tiger, etc.

The VK 36 HT was my first heavy too and I loved how it was just this miniature tiger at tier VI that absolutely throat fucked tier IVs when you met them 😩

Maus is boss! I’m going to try the Turbo, rotation device & hardening device for equipment when I get home tonite!

40:52 that laugh sounds exactly like his stream notification "huehuehuehue thank you" XD

In blitz the vk 36.01 is op from armor alone, I’ve seen it take on four tier seven tanks and win.

40:52 THE LAUGH finally answered me where it comes from......"HE HE HE HE HE THANK U!"

Its not the motor but the transmission, that counts as part of the motor. Weird as it is. The idea behind it was, that it will protect the driver and rest of the crew of any fire as it is a huge chunk of steel.

Thanks QB for the lovely video, watching it on my 30th birthday 🎉😎

The new Japanese TD might have the highest penetration in the game just like in blitz but usually it's a bit different so we'll see.

so ... if you play a battle in say tier 6 where you are in the bottom tier and do well, did you hint that your next battle in that tank would move you to one of the higher tiers?

The other BIG difference between the E 50 and E 50M is the fact that the turret on the tier 10 has 100mm more armor on the turret, whereas the tier 9 only has like 150 if i recall correctly.

oh yeah, reminds of the "good old" fullgold konisch medium VK3601

gg QB, great games

Is there a way to see very old replays? I still have the replay of my first (and only, ack) Kolobanov medal... Tier 6 Jumbo, I think I was using the derp... but its from about 2016-17 or something like that.

14:19 *me who needs to complete either LT 15 or HT 15 to get Obj 260* Gee, not getting the light tank on Provkorovka? Not surprised.

They have made the armor stronger om the Vk36.01 H. Some years ago, it was pure butter.

War ah gon 19:51 🤣 Warahgon...is that a shape?

havent watched vids for a while now I have a lot to watch xD

great video!

Vk36 my first tier 6 tank, cos u rush to get e100. Back in days it was used in online tournaments cos his gun using ap/apcr. I did not have premium tanks that days and I use it to grind credits. 2k battles till i got pz25 (German tier 5 premium)

One the most fun tanks I’ve recently unlocked, love it! Similar to a leopard, just with some forgiving armour to save your ass!

Wunderbar

Tiger II is my favourite, i think its op. Tiger I, Tiger II, E-75, E-50, Leopard1, Leopard proto, vk 30.01 h, vk 100.01 p these are the best germans by the way. E-75 and vk p is a little bit situational for me, if there is an arty with open maps for eg.

if u take the 8.8 L100 on the e 50 you can get an dpm of up too 3600ish try taht build pls

My memory may be faulty, but back in the day of 3 tier MM, the Vk 36 Konish gun's standard and gold ammo had the same high penetration; but the gold rounds, which really could be bought only with gold and cost 80 gold had higher damage. I think the standard round was only 70 damage???

Watch the vk 36 01 in wot blitz, its a monster, it bounces anything even t7 tanks and even the stock gun is good and it has amazing mobility

QB when you said that the E50takes less enging damage, bouth have , the engens at the back. the difgf is the E50 has a drive wheele and transmision at the frount. lilke mosty gearman tanks . and the E 50 has its drive wheeles ant trans at the back. as in most moden tanks

VK 36 always was a heavy. It's the VK 30.01 that were a med and then a ht

German tanks were known for having the transmission in the front of the tanks...you tend to take out the transmission when you hit the front of the tank, since wargaming considers the transmission the engine, engine damage

Correction - closed beta only had German and Russian tech tree's - US was added with open beta (or there about)

Nice video

38:00 - "remember, that overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer"

You bringing up the vk36 with the proper gun brought back good memories there was a competition years ago in the na servers for everybody to compete to do the most damage I used this tank with this gun I was very depressed I didn't win I had over 6400 base damage always laughed at all the morons who used the 8.8 where this gun had basically twice the fire rate and had more penetration Edit This was when this was still a medium tank

What’s funny is the pz7 has my best win ration and highest average damage caused and blocked all the because of the troll thick lower plate.

Hi Quickybaby, I know with your main account all of your tanks have good crews and full equipment but at what tier is equipment really important as I’m free to play I just don’t have enough credits to give every tank equipment

In my first ever game in my 36.01 H, I got 3 ram kills, and an invader medal. I was so exited about playing my first game... I forgot to load ammunition in the damn thing.

How is the Maus line grind? I always thought its just a meatball ready to be eaten alive

QuickyBaby is like the Rainman of WOT :P LOL

Hellcat has the best gold at tier 6...it gets like 247 pen or smth in the 240s on its gold rounds

Tetrarch or grosstraktor krupp review when?

gg, I play mostly German tanks, but just play WOT for fun. Happy New Year, QB, Mike in the USA.

Suggestion for you.. After you have done all best tanks in eatc tectree. do the worst tanks :)

do you remember the philopilos ammorack save

Not the engine, the transmission is in the front lower plate on the E50

Gold shells should realistically do less damage than aphe, which would balance their pen values. After all, if your game has numerical HP and damage values, then those damage values should vary between a kinetic penetrator, chemical round or an APHE round - but that's for a game that does not try to make money on ammunition.
