[Client Values; Actual values in
Specifically, the mismatch in crew values caused by commander's 10% crew skill bonus. Outside of a crew of 1 commander only, 100% crew is a fiction. The client values, given for 100% crew, will normally be taken into battle with 110% crew skill members aside from specific functions, causing their actual performance to deviate from the expected client value. These differences are taken into account in tooltip boxes.

Player Opinion

Pros and Cons

Pros:


  • Good view range
  • Great gun depression
  • Good at ramming lighter and poorly armored tanks
  • Good mobility, speed and acceleration
  • Decently armored for a light tank


Cons:


  • Large size for a light tank, can be difficult to hide
  • Somewhat bad camouflage for its class
  • Bleeds a lot of speed when turning


Performance

Originally, the VK 28.01 offered a unique gameplay experience thanks to its ability to mount a howitzer, which turned it into a miniature version of the T49. However, with patch 9.18 this option has been removed from the game. What is left is an adequate, but unremarkable light tank with good view range and decent frontal armour.

Historical Info

The VK 28.01 project started in June of 1943 by Gen. Guderian. He wanted a multipurpose tank(mehrweckpanzer) to replace the Panzer IV. The VK 28.01 was to be the basis of light tank destroyers, flak panzers, recon vehicles, and other panzer variants. In particular, Krupp proposed the Mehrzweckpanzer mit Vierling 2cm VK 2801 anti-aircraft tank armed with quad 20mm Flak guns. The VK 28.01 was to weigh approximately 28 tons (hence the VK 28.01). The top speed of the VK 28.01 was to be slightly over the maintainable speed of ~30 km/h. The planned ~550 hp Argus engine would power the VK 28.01 and give it nearly a 20 hp/t ratio(very good p/w ratio).


Krupp envisioned the VK 28.01 with a modified Pz IV turret. The Hull armor of the VK 28.01 was to be 50/30/30. The 50 mm upper front plate was sloped at 55 degrees while the lower plate of the same thickness was sloped at 45 degrees. The turret armor was to be 50/30/30 protection and was nearly identical to the panzer IV turret. The only distinguishing feature was the cupola which was based off the Panther's cupola.

In July of 1943 it was thought that the VK 28.01 Mehrzweckpanzer would not see production until April of 1945. In October of 1943 the Germans cancelled the VK 28.01 project.

Historical Accuracy Errata

The following are consensus errors or inconsistencies which have been identified with the configuration of the vehicle in question and conflict with information available on the public record. The causes for these divergences in the game are normally not disclosed and may be rooted in game balance.

Actual planned 75 mm KwK 40 L/43 gun is missing. The current gun configurations are both fake.
  • The turret is the same Ausf G model used on the Panzer IV Ausf H, yet the view range and weight values are inconsistent.
  • The 75 mm KwK 40 L/48 and 5 cm KwK 39 L/60 are the same guns used on the Panzer IV Ausf H and Panzer III Ausf J respectively, yet the penetration values of the AP shell are inconsistent.
  • Actual Argus 12LD330H engine is more powerful than in reality, with 580 hp compared to the historical 550.
  • The Argus 12LD330H was its only intended engine. The Argus 12LD330HL is fake.
