How tf do u play the tank

Every shot received in the track pens , tracking me and doing dmg

The copula gets penned even by stock panthers or su152 he

Spd and traverse is slower than vk100

Armour worse than vk100

Why would u get the tank if u have vk100

It doesn’t need a buff. Just a player that happens to use their brain.

I'm not an unicum but im pretty sure i know how to play my superheavies.

I got a 55 winrate in my mauschen and 62 in my maus.

Well, the 168.01 looks like it's balanced the way old premiums were balanced, as in, slightly worse than the tech tree equivalent but makes more credits. Which is good, and all premium tanks should be balanced that way. But they aren't and tier 8 quick tourneys are swamped with basically nothing but premiums, with an odd Tiger 2 or ISU-152 thrown in.

The German engineers made a mistake- they mounted the manus turret backwards and gave the rear of the hull the frontal armor and flipped everything backwards.

 

but at least it earns credits!

You should always check the armor profile and hidden statistics of any tank before you buy it here: https://blitzhangar.com/en and/or here: https://tank-compare.blitzstars.com/. As you can see there is only 60mm of inner side armor behind the drive wheels, which is abhorrent for a super heavy and the cupola is only 120mm. It is indeed a worse VK100, but now you won’t make that mistake again. Other hidden statistics that can ruin a tank are dispersion factors while moving and turning the turn aka bloom which can make or break your gun handling regardless of what the final dispersion number is, and terrain resistance factors which can make a huge difference to mobility for better or worse.

WG already provided a solution to this tank, it's called the VK 100.01 (P).

If you cannot control something as simple as your language when making a forum topic, I doubt you can control something as complex as a tank.

[tedg5]

Looks like your poll missed an option “doesn’t need a buff”. Based on the above replies, I’d guess that would be the winner. 

[_Crusader6_]

Is it great no, but even before the massive HP buff it got it was a pretty easy tank to get above 60% solo.

Well if you can't trust the armor, don't put your tank in situations where you need to. 

 

Hull down, use hard cover, don't poke without a shell ready, etc... 

 

I have no idea what you're doing wrong with it - it's just a big brick with a 12,8cm cannon... Tank is a beaut

 

I wish I had the same grasp on my 252u... Now that tank I have no idea how to manage

[Noob666_]

You ignored the most helpful tip.

 

 

Spoiler

Do not buy trash premium tanks. Save your money/gold elsewhere instead of enriching a T28.

Yeah lve been heshed (the copula)

And the horrid track wheels complete negate sidescraping.

They just pen your tracks and do dmg with even stock guns
