Now, I've heard a lot of people say this line is pretty terrible, and that it doesn't get remotely good until the Tiger 2. Generally I wouldn't touch this line at all, but with the current On Track I'd still like to make some headway. The question is how do you play this line?
The DW2 was awful, and it's of absolutely no threat to anyone. Luckily I got over that hump fairly quick.
The VK 30.01 H. This is what I'm using right now, and it's a bit like playing a really slow medium that also shoots slow. I'm using the Waffe squeezebore at the moment. I've adapted to playing very conservatively, due in part to being so [edited] slow, but also in part to the fact that I've never been top tier in this; been almost exclusively bottom tier. That being the case, even in winning games I have problems dealing my own damage, and have only managed it in 10/25 games at the time I post this. Should I be using the 10.5 cm? The thing is I'm not a fan of derps as I find them to be incredibly inconsistent, and typically only use them if I have to.
VK 36.01 H. I'm only about 6k away from getting that, and from what I gather it's pretty much more of the same. Better off going for the 8.8 cm over the squeezebore? Just about everyone I've seen playing it uses the derp, but just because it's popular it doesn't necessarily make it a good choice.
