+steve hughes Arguably, the cone bore is a better gun. The 88mm is nice when you're top tier, but (in the game) its penetration sucks, though the alpha is solid. However, the cone bore has excellent penetration and is very competitive even in tier8, though it is a dpm gun. Also, despite its accuracy, we all know that particular stat doesn't even begin to tell the whole story--some would argue it is meaningless in the game in the present implementation. Nevertheless, I far prefer the cone bore in this tank. Unlock the 88 for the Tiger, to be sure, but the cone bore is the better option when on the VK36.01.
I'm doing the same route to the top. My goal E 100. But what I found really works well to help in the grind is to platoon up. Getting other that are willing to grind with you works ten fold. In one week we got to tier 7 and pushing to the the tiger II. I know people say it's crap but it's all in how you play.
Bravo not freaking out about those heavies not pushing up with you in that first match,love this game but I swear some teammates want to cause me an aneurysm!
I recently just unlocked this tank too,coming from the PZ IV H.The stock engine is really bad and the derp gun that comes with the stock sucks as well.Once I unlocked the first gun things got alil better till I grinded to the Waffe. This tank is a sweet sniper tank with a fast ROF and also makes a good support tank.
I see you looking forward to that 88mm gun but I found the 75/55 is actually a lot better. Easier to pen, more accurate, and better DPM, there's no downside
That's a good tank Ben, the second to last package is better in my opinion than the last 8,8 better dpm and better pen but lower alpha. The 8,8 struggles bad in bottom tier games. Great vids though, grinding this line with you at the moment
Why did you sell the PzIV? I get that your b-lining it to the E50, but wouldn't you eventually want to grind for the Maus as well? Seems like a waste of the equipment is all.
+Icehawk_9 Hadn't really thought about that. I may grind the Maus, but more likely I'll grind it on Xbox and do a Soviet medium on PS4. Either way it won't be for a while so it won't be a big deal rebuying it in the future if I need too. Trying to keep a clutter free garage for a change :p
Good to see the PS4 crowd are the same as the Xbox lot, that capping is so frustrating when you are grinding tanks/hunting MOE's etc. Do they have MOE on PS4?
man hit me up whenever you use the GuP Panzer IV H. I've had it since the third day after the games launch. It literally is exactly like the normal Panzer IV H but its a premium and it uses the top 75mm. My PSN is turbofurby and I've been dying to do a GuP platoon.
Haha capping with one tank dead.. I wish wargaming would use one of their loading screens to better inform players about the nature of capping or atleast have some sort of in-game literature explaining why it's a terrible idea to quick cap so that casual players who don't use outside sources like youtube to learn about the game can also understand that capping should only be used as a last resort / tactical way to lure tanks out of position etc. Cheers!
Really good vid Ben. Enjoyed the more thorough set up and the extra game, 3 games suits this series.. Keep it up pal
+Hayden Hudson Awesome, I'll try and squeeze three in when I can :)
Love the VK30.01H, I use it as an awesome sniper tank.

+Dave Finfrock ...and hit the wrong reply button, but the statement still stands.
I just found you, and I absolutely love your videos!
Love this tank
The sounds of bounces and graphics are way better than PC
and it wasnt even born on xbox
Ben tracks don't turn slower when damaged they are just more prone to breaking
+Erik Nielsen - Damaged tracks affect your manouverability
The VK36 is a great tank. I sold the PzIV prior to the addition of the Maus line, recently bought it back to go up that line.
the vk 36 h looks like a mini tiger!
Well, it is called the "baby" tiger... :)

Thanks for the video's. I see that you like your HE. Why use that over AP?
because michael bay

Lifted up high by the Word I think the engine is pretty good, since it can get too 45 Km/h. But i agree with the gun
In the last package has a good weapon (similar to the Tiger)!
I see you looking forward to that 88mm gun but I found the 75/55 is actually a lot better. Easier to pen, more accurate, and better DPM, there's no downside
was the PZ. IV ANKO SP available for xbox as well or was it just for playstation

Looks like coated optics would have been a benefit in the Redshire game.

+The Beard Guys I know what you mean. I'm hoping they have another garage slot sale relatively soon.
I know how it feels. but to be worse I'm going up the French heavyline.😥
wtf is the GUP PANZER 4 ??
Its from an anime: Girls Und panzer
Good to see the PS4 crowd are the same as the Xbox lot, that capping is so frustrating when you are grinding tanks/hunting MOE's etc. Do they have MOE on PS4?
Love this tank, my first tank, I find the 7.5cm better than the 88cm, better pen :)
Well don't Ben I will definitely be there for the stream tomorrow you've gone well ahead of me slow down ;) take care
looks like AW and sounds like Fury...
it's bad but once you upgrade the gun it's amzing
*done

Have fun grinding this tank, I didnt.
+Edward Chilver I actually enjoyed those first three battles, although I was massively top tier each time. Not looking forward to seeing 7s and 8s...
+The Beard Guys Was dis vid live or no
So Ben, a question.... Would Rupert's crew be referred to as the "Ass Men" ? (hee hee!)
Great series still sir! Cheers!
I don't get the hate this tank gets. I absolutely loved it. Didn't think grind was that bad either. Easy 2> K/D
1 hour? Lol no longer...
That tank is annoying to grind
