Performance
Although a scout killed in the PC, the VK 28.01 in Blitz can be a full-fledged scouting tank when there's no other LT in the team. It's gun is arguably the best of the 3 tier 6 LTs, with good all round stats, no matter soft or hard. One main downside is the rather slow rate of fire, which can prove to be a problem during melee brawl against other tanks. The mobility is still good, although the T21 and MT-25 are faster, making the VK better suited for supporting these LTs instead of actively spotting. However, the mobility is still good enough should a scouting role is needed. Armor wise, the VK delivers it in spades, by being the most heavily armoured tank out of the 3 tier 6 LTs. MT-25 will have trouble penetrating you with proper angling, you will be able to bounce a few shots from time to time, and HE shells deal siginificantly less damage to you compared to the MT-25 and the T21. The VK 28.01 is a versatile tank that can play LT spotting and harrasement or MT-styled second-line support. During first couple of minutes, go do some scouting and/or support your other LTs. After those couple of minutes, you can start to roam around and finish off low health tanks. Be careful if going into brawls against other tanks though, as your slow rate of fire can be a let down.
