On August 11, the car was mentioned in an article on the official website of Laifu
Hello Elders, I'm Anabel Cardo. The former Russian service has been taken over by Lesta Entertainment, a former subsidiary of WG and developer of World of Warships. Not only does Laifu have a full set of development capabilities, but it also has a high degree of autonomy, so the game content is not the same as the WOT we played. As early as August 11, the official website of Laifu "leaked" a Tier 6 heavy tank called "VK 36.01 mit Kwk 41 L/58" will join the overtest, and WG has not yet released information, this car may be a "well-deserved" veteran award tank of Leifu or WG. Now that it has more information, I'll show it to you today.

Older versions installed "SB gun" VK 36.01 (H)
The VK 36.01 mit Kwk 41 L/58 was nicknamed "VK 36.01 H 75", which was actually the VK 36.01(H) with the "SB gun" installed. In reality, the VK 36.01(H) can be seen as a further development of the VK 30.01(H), which eventually became the pilot car of the VK 45.01(H), and the VK 45.01(H) became a tiger. Once this "SB gun" was the exclusive tank gun of VK 36.01 (H), in the era of not firing silver for gold, there was a saying "SB gun who uses who SB, SB gun gold bullets hit who SB", this is because SB gun has many unique settings:
Model manufacturer "SB gun" style 3601
At that time VK3601H the reason why it was not recommended to install the "SB gun" was that this gun had to be developed separately, and the "SB gun" could not be used with other cars, and before version 0.8.5, the average damage of a single shot of this "SB gun" was only 65 (because the caliber of the real cone gun was reduced to 55mm after the cannon was ejected, so the damage value was set to 65 similar to that of the 57mm gun). It wasn't until version 0.8.5 that its damage was increased to 165 at the normal 75mm gun level. Before version 0.7.0, the aiming time of this "SB gun" was only 1.1 seconds, and the bare loading was 3.5 seconds a shot, which was a real "rainstorm pear flower needle".
This SB gun is used by the 3601/3001 and Panther reconnaissance vehicles
After many adjustments, the SB gun is no longer the exclusive gun of VK3601, and it can be used VK3001H, and the Panther reconnaissance vehicle that returns as a level 7 gold coin light is also used by this gun. In fact, after so many modifications, the SB gun is no longer so special (mainly the data is not so strange), but for old players, the VK3601H of installing the SB gun is still "faithful".
Ahhhh This garage...
In the 2020 Tank 10th Anniversary Interview Series, a member of the WG developer team recalled his experience of competing at the European E3 exhibition that year: there were competitors who drove any car at first, until the guy drove his favorite VK 36.01 (H) into the battle and completed the feat of 15 kills, everyone present looked at the big screen in amazement, and in the next few days, everyone drove the VK 36.01 (H) to the competition. This is not an exaggeration, in the "flood era" at that time, a person familiar with the game mechanics and maps could drive a good tank to kill all sides.
Prior to version 0.8.8, VK 36.01(H) was mid-tank
And before version 0.8.8, the VK 36.01 (H) was a medium tank with decent mobility. In version 0.8.8, WG's team decided to change it to a heavy tank to "better adapt the player to the Tiger's fighting style", and as a result, the VK 36.01(H) was completely less agile and maneuverable, the field of view was also reduced, and the armor remained unchanged, except for the pitch angle and DPM strengthened. In the wave of low-level car enhancement in version 1.9, VK 36.01(H) was increased together with HP and ammunition reserve, and in version 1.10 it was brought out separately to strengthen it, which is what we see now. The Lesta suit chose to make the VK 36.01 H 75, most likely to see it as a "well-deserved" veteran reward.
But the question is, will it sync?
But the problem is that the current game content is no longer the same as the wot we play, so it is still unknown whether VK 36.01 H 75 will be synchronized to several servers operated by WG. In addition, you don't have to think that everything in Letta is beautiful, Laifu also has some problems of their own, and showing these contents for everyone is just a supplement to let everyone see what WOT's "parallel world" looks like. Please note that all of my comments above are based on the Lesta test data scheme of 8/31/23 and are subject to change in the future. I will continue to pay attention and bring you new trends. I am Anabel, Cardo, always thinking about the vital interests of our players. If you like my car review, please also retweet and share the publicity to let more commanders go home.
