I'd rather play something with an engine.This and chinukai have hp/t like superheavy tanks.If it had decent engine and turret traverse i would consider buying it.Better create a VK 3001(P)remium ediition and sell it.Thats a proper t6 german medium

 

I found this tank managed to still do the job without the need for high engine power, focusing on a more sniping and supporting :)

A tank I want to like but just can't. 

 

For sure the gun is nice, but to use it you have to find the absolutely perfect hull down spot where you can get enough depression on the gun to shoot the enemy but where they can only return fire to the upper part of your turret.  Even then, they'll just load gold ammo and go straight through it.  If they can see your hull then you've got no hope - the armour is so thin it might as well be made out of tissue paper. 

 

However, that's not even the biggest problem - that's the speed and mobility.  It's absolutely terrible.  It's a horrible, horrible tank to drive.

 

Even on 50% sale, avoid this one.

Used to be my favourite tank, then you took it away from us and sold it as a premium with a different hull.

 

That kind of business is a big NO from me.

Good sniper, get camo net, and crew camo, and 6 sense, park it behind some bush, and hope the enemy is stupid enough to be caught out in the open long enough, for you to turn then into swiss cheese. :bush:

But on the other hand, they probably will blind fire, that one bush you are hiding behind, the first time they get hit, as good bushes in plenty numbers, with un hindered long ranged line of fire are rare nowadays.
