VK2801 or Chaffee?

You can passive scout in the chaffee but for me the most fun, and a lot of success can be had from timing getting up close and personal with other tanks. if you are doing 72 in the VK you are driving in a straight line and you will get hit by anyone that has a clue. While it is no T50-2 it does have a lot better gun so all that turning is going allow you to actually kill someone and not just race around hoping to reach some vulnerable arty
Personally i think the KV is less versatile, it might have an easier time at the lower lvl's due to the higher damage but as the tiers increase for me it becomes less useful, but that might be a playstyle issue for me
