Girls und Panzer ROBBED me in World of Tanks... 

IN ALL FAIRNESS, while I'm having a little fun with this and being "robbed" by WG, they did give us access on press accounts, so thanks to WG for the opportunity! HOWEVER like a good little loot goblin I had to have this on my main xD

“way more 16 year olds than any middle aged man should have in his garage” sounds sooo wrong out of context 😂

Weeb moment, but the reason Erika is the only character with voicelines is just because her crew is pretty much irrelevant and don't talk much in the anime either.

A British man in a Finnish tank with Japanese girls saying YeeHa. WoT really brings the world together

The crews are lore accurate, not designed to be "meta" in game.

GuP is a bit slow, but gets much better by episode 3. And you'll definitely enjoy episodes 11 and 12. Also, that BT42 is in the movie, not the first series, and it saved a real version of itself in a tank museum in Finland. The museum put out a notice that they needed funds to restore the BT42 they had, and were astonished by the huge volume of donations they receieved from Japan, and had to go do some research to find out why.

Finnish 84 years before: "We managed to capture a BT, the world will admire us in the future" The future:

The BT-42 uses the same 114mm gun as the FV304, they should have made it able to drive like it could irl without the tracks.

While Girls und Panzer is just a fun little anime to watch, the thing I really like about it is that has some of the most accurate depictions of the tanks used of any show that I have seen.

“You know what I said about the decals” *zooms in* “WHAT”

As a fan of the show, I can confirm the voice acting is accurate. The Ankou crew is the most cheerful, loud and passionate, BT-42 is just Finnish, and Erika is just German lol, being the boss. Gg for Wargaming to put more of those in the game! Now we need Katyusha and British crew!

Having 16 year-old girls in your garage. Will get you 20 to life (if caught). 😎

"Jatkosota" means continuation war. I read from an interview that this tank was a disaster, they said that you couldn't hit anything smaller than an airport with that gun and that's when you were stationary, from the move you were even less accurate. And as QB mentioned, the gun was useless against other tanks.

13:45 yes, of course, BT-42 in the anime is also literal meme lord...

This is a really great collaboration, mainly because the tanks + crew are available for direct purchase and not hidden inside lootboxes. Finally, WG did something right again.

Where is my girl Darjeeling 😭🇬🇧🫖🍮

@quickybaby I can confirm that unlike most unique crews, the Bt-42 crew will still have unique interactions with each other even if other generic crew members are present in the tank. I have been using them in my VK2801 105 with two extra members in there and all three girls are still interacting with each other on it.

We need more crews to talk to each other

16:18 imagine overmatching a 16 year old girl in her flaps again

7:06 “Finnish off this Chi-Nu” I see what you did there 😏

Where on earth is Katyusha???? Wargaming, you had one job.....

BT-42 is a Mini KV-2!

If you have the Pz 4 Ankou and you buy the pack, you get a second set of Ankou crew.

Yo, anyone that watched das finale part 4? That whole fight sequence down the mountain was so insane

The Anime gets good, like the tank battles are really good

Darjeeling, Katyusha, Maho. Hello Wargaming? Where are they?

LOL, If it's any consolation, most of the voice actresses are in their mid 20s if not late 30s.

".....What!?!?!...." that killed me lololololol

The battles in GuP are really cool. They really showcase the strenghts and weaknesses of the tanks they put into the series. I don't like anime but as a tank fan, I loved that one. Shame there is so little of it

I watched Girls und Panzer when it first aired in 2012 and honestly it was what got me into playing WoT later on lol In response to QB's question @6:12 I think the first several episodes of the anime is not so good, especially if you're mainly watching for the tanks, but the remaining episodes and the rest of the movies are beautiful. The key is to not take it too seriously. The premise alone of school girls in tanks as a sporting activity should be enough to temper your expectations. There's no use getting mad if what you see on screen is not historically/physically accurate (although there are some historical references here and there).

As an anime fan and a fan of Girls und Panzer, I'm absolutely delighted that there's another collaboration. Well, the last part of the finale has also come out in the meantime. I think that's why the two other tanks came into the game in the first place. It would have been even funnier to have the MK that appears in the anime. ^^ And the anime is really good, you should watch it from start to finish.

QB you HAVE to stream yourself watching GuP 😎👍🏻 Please. You will not regret it. Honestly a really good show with tons of fun and history lesson moments. No joke

Girls und panzer does start well but the really good tank stuff is midway through season 1, the movie and season 2

I can confirm, the anime gets way better later on, if you can survive the first episodes.

I do applaud you over Skill for not crying every 5 seconds about the voices.

Maybe the next GuP would be releasing the churchill, then m4 sherman, tiger P, centurion and arl....ohh the anime also have maus and t28

At the very least it's finally some new content that's just being sold. No Lootboxes, no auctions, no mission marathon. Just good old products in a store.

Fun Fact in Anime BT-42 is a menace. It can solo the whole Pershing squad. While the commander is literally playing Polka. Mika always have her calm personality. The whole BT-42 crew are calm. American Pershings needs to be worry.

QB should really just sit his ass down and watch the entire Girls und Panzer series and get over his overly sensitive sensibilities about watching an anime.

Even less dpm than the captured KingTiger ? uff, that tank already isn't know for its rate of fire

If the Finnish tank doesn't have the Skrigjaargen Polka playing constantly in the background you 100% got robbed

There was a lot of negative comments on the other WoT socials about this collaboration, but if it will bring some FUN back into the game FOR ME then the tanks and voice commanders will be worth it. 🙂 Sugoi Squads, Go! 🎉

15:25 if you check out the rest of the crew with Erika you find out they are actually commanders of other tanks (from the same school) in the show, one is even the commander of the Maus. Now what they are doing here is a mystery, probably has some tie in with Das Finale which a part is/was release recently. From what I understand Das Finale is going to be in 6 parts.

I'm just surprised it not lootboxes again

The 2 to 3 first episodes of G&P is for the story construction. It gets way better after these episodes with battles every 1 or 2 episodes, also there is a movie focused on a "great battle" and a long movie in 3 parts including french school. The anime is great, it's just a bit long at the beginning

Have never watched the show, but is the only way I could get a BT-42 (one of my most wanted tanks). So far it has been a lot of fun, play it with a smile and a laugh. Setup has been Rotation Device, Vert Stabs and Rammer. Now if WG would just introduced an AC3 Thunderbolt I'd be happy.

WHAT, no Girls und Panzer loot boxes ???

And I really want them to add Kay and company (American) crew and other non Das Finale crews eventually... maybe in another couple years.

They basically put King Tiger (C) into a "new" vehicle.

All the commanders have unique lines alone, and the Jatkosota crew interacts, and they added back voice lines for the Ankou (Oorai) crew interactions and it's nice they had the official mod covered that too. I kitted my Kuro Tiger the same as my Tiger C, durability, rammer, turbo

The Tank animations in the Anime are quite nice. Even if the story or characters are not for everyone. I for my part watched it for the very good Tank animation. And it is hillariously funny that when a tank is defeated there pops out a litte white Flag out of the Commaders Hatch.👍

the white flag should be a default addon to french tanks being destroyed aswell

Ok, i might actually come back to this game just to buy this bundle. I haven't played the game since 2020 but I am a big fan of the show and I've been wanting to see more GuP tanks in the game. Edit: Ok, I caved in. I just bought the "All-in" bundle and I'm now reinstalling the game. Never thought I'd be back to this game lol.

i saw this and went "fuck it, we ballin!" now my ears are bleeding and my tourettes is making me scream random Japanese Voicelines from the crew of these tanks... *worth it lol!*

even though i am GUP fans myself, i would say that GUP collab is cringe but is far better than TMNT collab at least it has something to do with Tanks i wish this season battlepass was GUP collab instead TMNT

When this was released. I just took a look at the page laughed at the ridiculous offers then shook my head and went on with my day.

Quickybaby unless you over 40 you not a middle age man , middle age start at 40 or even 45 for some

Quickybaby cringes at the Bt-42's stats.... Proceeds to wreck enemy team.

6:16 It gets really good, especially the animation, once you get past the main anime and watch the movie(titled "der Film") and the following "das Finale"

Bro the interactions of the BT42 crew are so accurate, even Miko the hyperactive driver experts jokes around, i highly love what has been done here

I am surprised it took this long

the interaction in the crew works on others tanks as well, i moved the crew in the E 50 M and is so hilarious :D

2:28 Thank you for the Idea, also, my Condolence for your Ears, Old Man.

Im using the BT with Turbo, Rammer and Rotation device, and having a load of fun circling tanks and spamming HE at them 😂

about the actual show, no. the first episodes are boring and just set up the absolute stupidity of tank action that follows. it is just great.

Real men like having a german commanders screaming in their ears about getting spotted

I have no interest in Pz.IV and Tiger II But too bad I like anime girl. Sor my money

Somehow looking at the crew when switching from a normal german vehicle to the BT-42 is the fucking funniest thing ever.

The excitement on quicky when the conversation starts between the crew! 😂

The biggest issue I have being on the NA server is that the bank transactions for World of Tanks are blocked as they route to Cyprus. :(

8:47 i definitively heard "stripped" instead of "strict"

8:34 this was hilarious 😂😂

How do i install the mod? It aays to put it in the game files but i don't have the game files on my computer, i just have a shortcut

@2:16 Not really an oversight since it is based on the Soviet BT-7 tank after all, which used the commander/gunner, driver and loader crew loadouts IRL (interestingly the in game versions of BT-7 and BT-7 artillery do not use this loadout). But yeah the BT-42 was a disaster of a tank IRL. It was mechanically unreliable, inaccurate, the HE shell wasn't really suited for tank combat and the HEAT shell that was copied from German designs wouldn't arm properly due to difference in velocity and rifling. Seeing as the HEAT shells failed to penetrate a T34 IRL, I think the listed 100+mm pen is quite an unrealistic number. The gun is BTW the same 4.5 inch howitzer (which in British usage only shot HE and smoke shells) that is in game used in Bishop, FV304 and Crusader 5.5-in. SP (none of which IRL actually used that gun). Regardless it is nice to finally see it in game, as it is an actual design that was used in combat. Not enough to make me change from my F2P ways tho. Don't really care about the other 2 tanks, as I already got the King Tiger (C) and tech tree PZ IV H.

Just as I saw the announcement of this event I eagerly was expecting QB's video for this topic! XD

I know neither the series nor the Japanese language, but Mika just sounds like a professionally dubbed, proper Japanese female commander.

the Girls und Panzer show (and movies) have excellent battles! they're a bit nonsensical in that the physics can be bonkers, but it's fun to watch and can get you pretty hyped up. also the sound design is incredible! love hearing all of the guns, engines, tracks, etc sounds that theyve gone the extra mile to make.

I am so damn excited to get this, in every version of World of tanks I get the Girls und panzer tanks. I just started playing on PC a few weeks ago and was heartbroken i couldnt buy them when i started I shall have my Panzer IV Anko again!

Yunno 20 quid is a lot to drop for a BT-42 but I'm so damn tempted now just for the shits and giggles

11:50 this edging is how germans welded sloped plates together, that's real life not anime...

Quick question: Do the voiceline interactions still work if you have the 3 girls AND a random different crew member in for instance, the HWK 30?

Is there some setting I dont know about? I have the correct mod moved to my WOT mod folder, but when I load up the game with Erika as my commander the voice lines are in there but theres absolutely no subtitles. I have subtitles on in my settings and I'm completely at a loss as to why its not working. Ive been trying to get it to work all day

Every wot player should watch gup, if only for the cracked tank models and action scenes from the movies.

This is the reason why I came back WoT for almost a year (not even close) is....... *THIS!!!!*

This bt42 reminds me of cruiser mk2 with 3 inch howitzer (the same gun from churchill 1, tier 5 gun)...

If you want a crash course experience of the show, you can just watch the movie. There is like a 3 minute recap of the show they released with the movie that you can watch before also.

You should be able to put crews in any tank you want and just be able to retrain them to that tank because something similar happened to me when buying the Halloween crew

I'm sad as a console player that I don't get to experience this 😭

You need a GuP Das Film movie night QB.

How do you keep your equipment visible down on the bottom of the screen there? Sorry im new to this

At least WG can acknowledge their playerbase is as delinquent as they are neck-bearded

I'd definitely recommend you giving another go at the serie. The first two episodes are a bit slow as they're putting everything into context and easing you into it, but after that you're in for a wild ride that is fun to pretty much everyone, tank enthusiast or not, anime enthusiast or not.

To your question about Girls und Panzer anime - I think its absolutely amazing if you are somebody interested in tanks outside of just games, and might be easily one of the best piece of cinema about tanks I could count number of anime series Ive seen on my hands as it could be about 10, but Girls und Panzer is truly something special for history buffs. Its also got in general nice atmosphere, humour, various schools based on various nations represent their old stereotypes... There's Girls und Panzer the original anime, then Girls und Panzer Der Film, and now Girls und Panzer Das Finale

its a pity, Jingles doesn't play World of Tanks anymore. I bet he would have a field day enjoying the voice actors as when I watch his youtube videos about GuP. It got me watching and enjoying the anime

Anyone know how to apply the subtitle?

Hi QB! Thanks for all the good times at the other distribution sites! The way to read Kuromori Mine is KUROMORI MI NE, which is hard to explain but it represents a peak and not Mine of Mine Sweeper! From Shin-chan!

As a fan of Mamiko Noto (the voice behind Mika) and of the "Girls Und Panzer" franchise, this is definitely a must-have for me.

It begins funny but the longer you look the Episodes, the more Battles you get and that´s when the Series starts to shine 😁. Yet one thing to WG . BBBBOOOOO !!!! Why did you not put the reworked ELC from the Movie in ? That one would surely became a fun Tank to drive.

Believe it or not, this anime is the reason of why I started WoT on 2015/2016 lol. I was already a tank lover ever since I played a tank game called "Panzer Front" in PS1 way back then when I was still a kid. After I saw this anime in my college years, 9 searched whether there are other newer ww2 tank for PC. And I saw WoT.

They told you that you get the gold value of 1750 gold if you already own the tank.
