The tank is more like a panther with worse mobility, worse dpm but more alpha. So play it accordingly, that said it would be great to get buffed to some extend, either give it some actual armor or give it 280 alpha while adjusting the reload speed.
Tiger 1 have much stronger front turret than this tank, so technically Tiger is already better armored thank than this one, cuz u can play hull down pretty well.
02:40 Skiieeeellll. It is not possible to take a kaku in the toilet. You will always have to push the kaku downwards. That's the way kaku is meant to be treated. :D
It's okay as a tank but considering the fact Rev, Cyka Pershing, Mod 1, STA are similarly priced I don't think it's worth getting on that basis alone. A bit stronger turret and/or Tiger I's current gun (with lower DPM) would probably make it worth it.
I love Tiger II. As this as Tiger II prototype and this being in Bovington Museum is one of the rare prototype tanks that have survived, which gives me this tank so much more added value. Its sad that this tank is in current state. I still have fun with this tank though. Gun soft stats are amazing and I do feel quite comfortable in this tank, shooting fully aimed hits almost always seem to pretty well. Yeah this is not best tank and if you spend money, you have so much better tanks to buy... Like Löwe for true German heavy tank feel and making credits.
I have this tank, and I agree with You ! DO NOT BUY THIS TANK ! ONLY the BEST players can make this tank work. But I still enjoy playing with it... And NO ! I AM NOT one of the BEST players ! I just enjoy losing and having Bad Games !!!
Before the King Tiger, this used to be my favorite premium tank. You don't value the gun, but I think it has pretty solid stats for a tier7 heavy tank. 0.3 accuracy and sub 2sec aim time if I remember correct. Also when it was published, WG said it earns credits with the same multiplier as a tier8, which I'm not sure. But it's a solid tank, you just need to play clever in it. And remember it doesn't have any armor, especially if people know where to shoot it (you can't hide the weakspot). Which is the whole turret.
Heh, this video made me play my 45.03 again and I just got Ace wanker + T55A HT-7 (3k damage + capture base, eww). I love this tank, I just wish it had the mobility of the VK 45.02A. I'm waiting for that great Vk 30.02 D video that I know is eventual coming! We want the D!
I remember buying this tank back in 2015 (I think), to try and make some credits and as a crew trainer. I didn't rate it much, but since I bought it, I had to play it....:) Nice games of course skill...
This is in many ways the better version of the AMX M4 45, with similar armor (read - nonexistent) and a faster firing 240 alpha gun (becuase when WG updated the 88mm guns on the tech tree and some premium tanks, they of course did nothing with this, because consistency has never been thier strong suit). Now, I do like it, but that's more due to my love of the Tiger II, and this looks a lot like it. In game turms, I'd still say the Tiger I is much better, and they both have to play a more supporting sniper heavy role, instead of the active brawler (as the second game showed really well).
Questionable... AMX can mount the 105 mm gun and has a significantly better power to weight ratio. This allows you to trade and you can use it like a medium tank.
@@adolfusknall3341 Oh I agree with that if you use the 105mm. My comment was more based on if you just use the 90mm, as that feels a lot more unreliable on the AMX than the 88mm on the VK, even though the stats aren't too different on paper. So to summarize - AMX with 90mm, worse than the VK. AMX with the 105mm, better than the VK. Now, if they have the VK the same 280 alpha as on the Tiger I... I think I'd have to say that the AMX is still better with the 105mm, if only just.
Great video, so funny seeing you and the enemy tank doing your dance. Have you encountered any games where it's baboon versus baboon and you have no choice but to kill each other or do you then prefer to try and cap?
You can see the reason why is it recommended to shout RUSSIA at 1:39 Anyway, again great video skill I was thinking about buying this tank but not anymore lol.
Got this tank for free some time back, dont remember what for, but yeh its great against Tier V's. When you're mid or bottom tier tho....ohhh boys oh boys...
oh wait .. this is a tank i got a pools with. it's not so bad. i did save the replay on my youtube (i'm not a youtuber only use it to save replays...i stopped doing it)
Skill, you must be spying on me, first I start playing the Pz.Kpfw. IV Schmalturm after sever years of it sitting in my garage and then all of a sudden you do a video on it. Now I just started playing the VK 45.03 again after years of it also sitting in my garage, and again you do a video on the tank. The tank very much reminds me of the AMX M4 mle. 45.
thx Baboon King for the video. only 1 request from me yesterday and BOOOM. sadly the tank is not great, but the older premiums rarely are. sadly too, there are not much middle tier german premium heavies too, only tier8 is having some more with e75TS, loewe, wallbreaker and some of teh slippers. do i think about getting one of these middle tiers like VK45.03 or the tiger131... i have to think twice or three times....
This tank is not a bad tank. It should be played conservatively and used as a sniper and you will have more productive games. Playing this tank too aggressively will send you back to the garage very quickly.
sadly the tank has no preferential mm according to Wot-Portal. When you are lucky you see a whole week with a takn only +1 MM and even som equal tiers and high tiers MM. More often this is not the case
is it worth it ? Easy answer, NO The armor is pretty much useless and the DPM sucks, the captured King Tiger is way superior and that isn't a shining jewel
When i first got it... It was sort of ok. But nowadays its just a trashcan. No armor fcking horrible gun... I mean u cant trade u dont have dpm u dont have alpha... And softstats are not great either. Its just a waste of time playing this
But Skill what about the VK30.02D ,
By the way Skill you are the hardest working CC in the world , the index is brilliant well done.
that is his full time job though
The tank is more like a panther with worse mobility, worse dpm but more alpha. So play it accordingly, that said it would be great to get buffed to some extend, either give it some actual armor or give it 280 alpha while adjusting the reload speed.
Omg skiiiiieeeeeel!! You finally did a review of the VK45.03!! I was asking for it last year till I gave up my request. Thank you with
I've had some good games in this. Had a 5k damage in tier 8 game once. It was nice
I have got 4.8k i like to play it. the gun seems to work for me.
1st fight with him...3750 damage....really nice one
Personally I really like this tank... IMAO it can work really well and it's enjoyable for me to play it
Tiger 1 have much stronger front turret than this tank, so technically Tiger is already better armored thank than this one, cuz u can play hull down pretty well.
Yeah with weakspot on turret:)
LOL Thank you Skill, I needed a laugh like that today while meeting that friendly Baboon! 😂😂
02:40 Skiieeeellll. It is not possible to take a kaku in the toilet. You will always have to push the kaku downwards. That's the way kaku is meant to be treated. :D
"I am not shooting him because I have bad map awareness" 😂😂😂😂 keep up the good work sir love your vids

Skill, You are very Welcome, I enjoyed myself watching! : - )
I have had this tank for a while and I like this tank.
For me it's like tog , like to see on the enemy team.Speaking about TOG , how about a nice tog gameplay?
I would not have known about the weak turret. Thank you for the knowledge.
I remember buying this tank back in 2015 (I think), to try and make some credits and as a crew trainer.

Anyway, again great video skill I was thinking about buying this tank but not anymore lol.
Its like premium Tiger 1 you lose 500 Base Dpm but with better gun handling and more armor and litlle better mobility.
Got this tank for free some time back, dont remember what for, but yeh its great against Tier V's. When you're mid or bottom tier tho....ohhh boys oh boys...

Accidently bought this tank and i gotta say this i actually like this a lot
No WG Russian bias against German tanks at all......
thx Baboon King for the video. only 1 request from me yesterday and BOOOM.
sadly the tank is not great, but the older premiums rarely are. sadly too, there are not much middle tier german premium heavies too, only tier8 is having some more with e75TS, loewe, wallbreaker and some of teh slippers.
do i think about getting one of these middle tiers like VK45.03 or the tiger131... i have to think twice or three times....
Last game you had some paid actors hahaha
This 88 - 90 mm guns are very funny
Sometimes they work so smooth sometimes they F so hard.
Thank you. Please make a video of T25 AT, there is no video in index page.
This tank is not a bad tank. It should be played conservatively and used as a sniper and you will have more productive games. Playing this tank too aggressively will send you back to the garage very quickly.
Finally. Thank you Skill :)
Thanks Skill! How about the Achilles !?! Day 4, on a roll!
I had this vk. For me is good but at tier 9 is really hard to play.
OMG you make me LOL IRL! :D
Finally!
skieeeel, latvian flag on the vehicle super braliukas!
Finaly tank what you promised to my year ago!
Ahhahahaa... this AMX thought "together with my heavy we can f him" and then he saw this dance! 4 sure he --> ❓❓❓
I thought this tank was preferential match making , so should only ever see tier 8
sadly the tank has no preferential mm according to Wot-Portal. When you are lucky you see a whole week with a takn only +1 MM and even som equal tiers and high tiers MM. More often this is not the case
Its nice, i like it.
Love you skiieelllllllll!!!!
I'm baack, so I start it over. Day 1 of asking Su-100 with big pp and a few blind shots.
Edit:
Skill:Dont buy this tank its not the best.
Also Skill:Nearly awarange 3K dmg in 3 games..then show us bad games instead of best games sometimes!
But skieeeeeeel day 12th without SU-76G FT
only tier 8 medium premium tanks are worth to buy in current meta
9* for bonds.
That's not vk in real life that is Tiger 2 (P)
Huzzah!
Asking for VK 30.01 (H) day 36
Nice Austrian Flags on ur VK
Greetings :-)
🥰😍😘😘😘😘
tiger 2 c better tank
..world of premium tanks indeed xD
F this game for good 👍 gambling magic 🎁 boxes end 15 to 0 simulator ,l will probably selling ter x tank day by day after game les then 4 minutes
is it worth it ? Easy answer, NO
The armor is pretty much useless and the DPM sucks, the captured King Tiger is way superior and that isn't a shining jewel
Well its all true, the 45.03 needs at least a DPM buff, but than the King Tiger also needs a better working gun.
When i first got it... It was sort of ok. But nowadays its just a trashcan. No armor fcking horrible gun... I mean u cant trade u dont have dpm u dont have alpha... And softstats are not great either. Its just a waste of time playing this
