VI

920000

As this tank was used to prototype the Pz.Kpfw. VI Tiger (P), it's similar in size and layout. Its comparatively weak side armour and low traverse rate leaves the tank vulnerable to flank shots. However, it makes up for this with speed and a gun that does a fair amount of damage and is accurate at long range.

Note: The Germans use the nickname "Leopard" for both this tank and the VK 16.02 Leopard , but in-game that name is only used for the VK 16.02.

Player Opinion

Pros and Cons

Pros:

Ability to rotate in place

Good gun selection; the only German tier 6 medium that can still use the hard hitting 8.8cm L/56

High top speed

Huge gun mantlet adds another 82-100mm to frontal turret armor

Cons:

Large silhouette

Below average HP

Sluggish acceleration and manoeuvrability

One of the most infamously bad stock grinds for a tier 6; you must unlock the suspension, turret, engine, and one of the improved guns before it can begin to compete with other tier 6 tanks

Unsloped hull armour unlikely to bounce tier 6 weapons even when angled, though it can stop shots from lower tiers well enough

Performance

This is a good support tank with good top speed. You can and should flank with it when you can, but it isn't a full-fledged flanking tank like the VK 30.01 (D). It is let down by sluggish turret traverse and tends to take a while to accelerate from 40 to 60. It can also be an effective sniper as it can make use its thick gun mantlet, so making hull-down tactics very effective. When done properly, it will result in shells penetrating the gun mantlet, but not the actual turret. As always, a lot depends on the MM (i.e. the tier of tanks you are up against). Its decent power to weight ratio and high top speed allows it to exploit gaps or rush to help in an emergency, but don't expect it to dodge shells in close combat like a light tank, as its sheer size forbids such maneuvers.

With the 8.8 changes to the German lines, the VK 30.01 (P) is now the only remaining German tier 6 medium that can use the 8,8cm L/56, giving the tank a much bigger punch than its peers at the cost of lower penetration and RoF. You can of course still opt to use the 7,5cm L/70 which is more suited for long range combat, though the 30.02 (M) and 30.01 (D) are generally better platforms for this weapon. Despite this superior firepower, you cannot confuse this tank for a heavy like the VK 36.01 (H). You do not have the HP or armor to lead the charge, and you are a big target. Stay back and snipe, while using your speed to flank when an opportunity presents itself.

Early Research

The FuG 7 and FuG 12 radios carry over from the Pz.Kpfw. IV, as well as 10,5 cm KwK 42 L/28 gun. You should install a new radio immediately. Unfortunately the gun upgrades are unavailable until you have the second suspension and turret.
If you want mobility, go for the Porsche Typ 100/1 engine first as this vehicle is very sluggish in its stock configuration.
To increase firepower and penetration, you'll have to upgrade the suspension before you can upgrade the turret. Upgrading the turret should be your priority, so you may want to consider purchasing Enhanced Longitudinal Torsion Bars to put off researching the suspension. While it is expensive, getting the increased firepower earlier may be worth it to you, especially since the upgraded suspension doesn't offer any increase in traverse speed.
Go from there.
