Greeting my friends!
I am Luke Kneller and you’re watching “Best Replays of the week”!
In this episode: A Cat From Hell, the T95 who doesn’t care, and the safest place in a Windstorm!
But first, as always, the warm up.
It begins at “Abbey”, where a nimble German E-25 TD is left alone facing a JagdPanther
and an IS at the end of the battle.
The enemies want to kill him, but they can’t bring their guns to bear.
The clock is ticking, and so the IS goes for the capture.
Not so fast!
The German TD goes into rapid fire mode, and the red eyesore goes away.
Unfortunately there is a cost to playing machine-gun - only 3 shells remain.
Not to worry though.
Finishing off the JagdPanther takes two shells, and then it’s time to reset the cap again.
The last shell penetrates easily… but now what?
Just charge in, head-butt the invader once and do a mocking dance in celebration of the draw!
Such defense!
Much amaze! Wow!
We move on.
The warm up continues on Ensk, though maybe “warm up” is not the right word.
“Admire the insanity” is more like it!
At the end of the battle the reds have a Matilda, whilst the greens have a Matilda, a Lorraine and a Valentine 2.
The best part is that only the Valentine has any shells left.
A ram-and-arty-shot combo sends a Matilda to the garage, but it was the allied one…
The poor Lorraine can’t live with what he did and closes the game.
The Valentine continues shooting at the enemy that decided to ram an opponent to death.
The disconnected one.
The Valentine can’t take this any longer either and runs for the cap.
The Matilda tries to ram. A chase in the cap zone ends in victory.
Not really the kind of battle we want to see again.
Back to more normal games…
We return to Abbey for the conclusion of the warm-up.
Here a tough and fearless Soviet SU-122-54 showing how to carry.
It arrives to the enemy base and tries to decide which of the objects to shoot first: the 704 or the 261?
Still hesitating: a miss on the 704, a hit on the 261 and another hit on the 704.
A fierce look drives the T54E1 into hiding and the SU is free to finish off the arty.
Whilst the American is looking for his courage, our bold invader takes the opportunity to kill the enemy TD.
Maybe it would be time to retreat,
but instead he bounces the whole drum from his autoloader and in return is put to rest.
This concludes the warm up.
Let’s get to the awards!
This week’s Top Gun goes to the player Maylow22, driving the legendary Hellcat.
The mismatched couple of a Hellcat and a T-150, end up on Live Oaks.
Everything seems fine… the TD has 4 kills…
but apparently the only ally who knew how to shoot was the Grille who got 1 kill.
That’s all those 13 teammates could manage!?
So it’s two against ten?
Challenge accepted!
Luckily the platoon-mate does know how to shoot and steals some of the spotlight by destroying the Marder 38t.
So far, so good.
The score is 7:13 and the best friends ‘Hellcat’ and ‘T-150’ are still at full health.
The T-150 makes his move and leaves a Hetzer burning on the battlefield.
What a sight for sore eyes… Fat Max reveals himself and is taken out with a couple of shots.
Six kills now!
The enemies keep rolling in.
The T1 Heavy shows his turret again, takes a shot and hides.
A Stug can’t take a hit, and goes straight to the garage.
A JagdPz IV takes several hits, but still manages to take out the platoon-mate.
Thank you, friend. You death was not in vain.
No time to get sentimental though. It’s time to take revenge!
Heading down along the railroad, the Hellcat meets an old rival… show the T1 kill
Moving along, and something unexpected is seen from under the bridge – the British SPG seems a little lost.
The meeting is short but memorable, especially for the arty.
Another attempt to follow the railroad and…
that feeling when you’ve almost made it to the enemy base and the siren goes off…
Drive all the way back and explain to the M37 why he won’t feature as “Invader of The Week”.
One last enemy to find and the Hellcat decides to try his luck on the other flank.
Good call. There’s another surprise here!
A present, really.
The sleeping cat is taken out by and the conquering here finishes with a Fadin’s Medal.
In addition he gets more medals, the gold and the title of Top Gun of the Week.
Congratulations!
This week’s Best Scout goes by the call-sign “dela_fly”, and he drives the WZ-132.
Dela is determined to show us what scouting is all about as he dashes forward immediately.
Swinging around the central ridge of Prokhorovka he shows no mercy as he… lights up some enemies.
He circles around and they start dying one after another.
His allies barely have time to shift their aim as the scout turns around for another pass.
The WZ even finds time to take some shots.
Some of them connect, others do not.
Nevertheless, the opponents continue to die.
The field is not the whole map, of course.
There’s an area loved by many, and there should definitely be 2 or 3 vehicles hiding here.
The sixth sense light flashes and enemies die, just as planned.
For dessert it’s time to find the arty.
Ending up with more than 11 thousands damage from spotting
Makes you our “Scout of The Week”. Keep it up!
The Defender of the Week is the player called seximvol, driving his British FV304 SPG.
Not the most macho vehicle, but when the driver is called that… well, it’s like Bruce Willis in a Mini-Cooper!
The whole battle is a hard carry for this pair of action heroes.
It’s all going great, but to carry the win this SPG needs to be even more badass.
What does Hollywood teach us about tough cops?
The best motivation is avenging your partner!
The Chi-He barely has time to sneeze before it’s all over for him.
A red bar appears in the sky.
The blind shot doesn’t connect, so he has to scout.
His partner’s killer is out here… somewhere… the KV-1!
The shot trails a beautiful arc over the house and the bar vanishes for a moment… but only for a moment.
He performs the trick-shot once more and takes a detour.
The quest for vengeance is interrupted by an enemy SPG,
but we know that evil minions can’t stop the hero from taking on the big boss!
All he needs to do is to get his artillery up on the hill and rain death on the enemy!
That’s how tough guys take vengeance!
Killing the sleeping VK30.01H is too easy.
Slept right through the movie!
Shame on him!
Shoot!
Garage.
Heroes driving small, brave machines are not born, they are made!
A Great victory!
The award for Steel Wall of the Week goes to MorganEarp, driving the T95.
Here’s the situation: a T95 at the top of the list.
No Arty. What do you do?
The answer is simple: turn towards the enemy line and drive forward!
It’s not subtle, but a cheeky person owns half of the world!
People signal to him, shout and even threaten him,
but the juggernaut has thick skin and is not bothered.
He just keeps going.
Sometimes he stops to reply to a particularly stinging insult.
There is nothing the enemy can do.
Well, they do penetrate his armor and even kill an allied T32,
but in the end the score is a crushing 15:1.
The T95 even managed to cross the field…
During the battle the armor of the T95 survived 84 hits with a total of 25 thousands of potential damage.
That’s why we award the player MorganEarp the title of Steel Wall of the Week.
Congratulations!
And now we get to our top award – The Best Replay of The week!
The award goes to the player with the call-sign SpaxanS for a game his T-54.
How dangerous do you think a platoon of three T-54s will be on Windstorm?
Right, extremely!
Especially because they can help their champion get to a place absolutely unreachable to the enemy.
This spot is a sniper’s dream to “reach out and touch someone”.
He can see everything. In moments the SU-122-54 turns from a dangerous war-machine to a pile of scrap.
A GW Tiger shares the fate of the Soviet TD.
The T-54 keeps pouring on the armor piercing rain.
An FCM 50t gets hit several times, but manages to get into cover.
It’s time to climb down, as the base is being captured!
Who’d want to willingly leave such a comfortable nest?
But victory is more important.
The FCM is met again, and this time there’s nowhere to hide!
Only one ally is left; one of the platoon.
It’s more than enough to kill an enemy E-75.
The base is still being captured and our star finally sees the culprit behind it – a T28 Prototype.
The cap is reset at ninety percent and don’t even think about stopping there!
Another reset!
Suddenly a T54E1 sneaks up from behind!
He is taken out quickly, but not before he manages to finish off the last remaining ally.
No time to mourn!
Just don’t follow him into death!
The Prototype knows how to shoot!
The shot makes the T-54’s crew speak in hushed voices, as a loud noise might make the tank fall apart!
There’s no retreat!
The troublesome American makes a mistake and goes to the garage to analyze it.
One enemy remains – the T29!
The opponents say it’s asleep.
Ok, time to go to the enemy base then.
And as he’s almost there… the red bar…
Hm… Either the T29 can teleport, or someone just tried to deceive us.
Keep driving despite the road rage, arriving just in time to reset the three digit capture!
An exchange of shots, and the T-54 is still alive!
Was that luck or good angling? Probably both!
A second shot leaves the enemy with 19 hitpoints!
He won’t get a second chance!
Two shots into the track and he finally snatched the victory from the jaws of defeat.
Determination! Courage!
A great battle and skilled play.
All of this gets the player SpaxanS the well-deserved title of “Best Replay of the Week”
And that’s all for today!
