ADDITIONAL NOTE: If you have any good replays of a mission in your 2801 which demonstrates a technique in the Guide or shows how you like to play a particular map, send it to me and if I like it, i will include it with credit in the next Guide!
tazilon2003@yahoo.com and put "VK-2801 replay" as the title

Thank you!!   +1!
Actually, it is not a guide... it is a book!
Most welcome.... I try to use my VK2801, but since the HE is modified, I struggle with it...

That is truly amazing! Great job man, and thank you. This deserves ten friggin medals.

You should try it again.  The changes in 7.2 make it a bit more potent again.

Very, very good guide. It should be read by everybody for the maps witch explains the usual routes/arty placement. Thank you for your time.

thank you.  I'm just starting to update the maps.  Hopefully higher quality and the grid lines on them.

replays

updated:

maps for Abbey through Malinovka
stats for starting rank and battle tier

Tazilon, are you planning on adding more Youtube Replays?
I have to admit I prefer those alot over normal replays to watch (most likely cause I can watch those anywhere with a handheld device like those from the company with the fruit.
I loved the one Replay of you I have seen (watched it on a coffee break at work) and I really hope I will see alot more of those.

Oh and thanks for your wonderful VK 2801 Cougar BIBLE

I have Fraps and a movie editor and am planning on making them YouTubies at some point in the future so I don't have to worry about them becoming obsolete with game updates.  I have 1 test replay on YouTube but I dont like the resolution.  I will have to go all out and use the highest settings, which takes forever to upload.

On the NA forums I keep a collection of films and am adding more and more to the Guide.  I'm not sure if the European server is aware of it but Tariq created a nice site just for posting replays here:

mwreplays.com

I have a bunch of replays there.

I just had a look at your guide; really well done.
Covers not just the VK-2801 but large parts of general scout behaviour and many other aspects. Also well written; entertaining read. Definite recommendation.

Thanks for the effort and time!

Thank you.  I've been letting it slide a bit lately as I pursued completion of my 5th Skill set but after 7,517 battles, my entire crew has completed their 5th Skill/Perk and now embark on the loooooong journey for their 6th.  Hopefully, I will have an update to the guide out within the next 7 days.

Great handbook. If it ever would´ve been made your manual would be standard equipment.
:-)

Thanks, Ive learned alot.

thank you - I will have the next update posted late late Sunday

Version 7.3.01 is now posted

http://forum.worldof...ith-maps-v7301/

Downloaded from the NA server a few days ago and it is by far the single most helpful resource for WoT I have yet to discover - both my VK2801 and Chaffee  games have benefited from the tips contained in your guide and I can only offer a most sincere "Thank You" (along with +1 rep!) for all your hard work.

Nice

Updated for 7.4 however most of the new maps are not annotated yet.  It takes awhile to watch the players deploy and see what becomes the favorite spots and routes...
