|InTheGame_pros= - Insane frontal and strong turret face that identical to Panzer VII

- Same as Panzer VII, its lower plate can withstand most of regular shots even when not angled

- Good HP pool (2500)

- Although its speed is decreased after 9.17.1, it's still decent for its weight

- The rear-mounted turret and decent side armor makes sidescraping a viable option

- High damage-per-shot

|InTheGame_cons= - Quite low damage-per-minute and long reload time

- Poor accuracy and aim time

- Reloads slower than the comparable E-100, despite using the same gun, Poor gun depression

- As shared the same armor layouts with Panzer VII, it had the same weakspots that will exposed when sidescraping or angling

- The lack of a second Loader position makes it incompatible with either E-100's or Maus' Crew, making it a troublesome trainer at best.

|InTheGame_performance= As it is decently fast for a German tier 10 Heavy tank its best to utilize this by claiming a choke point and start sidecraping. This tank is a beast when you minimize your total area that's exposed to enemy fire. The VK, like many other tier X heavies, does not have good side/rear protection and is as vulnerable as any to flanking; with its slow turret traverse pushing too far ahead can be very dangerous. The VK works best in a defensive capacity or by working in concert with other tanks while pushing down a lane. With an even slower rate of fire than the other 150mm-armed heavy, the E-100, the VK7201 usually will not win a damage-per-minute contest and probably responds best to peek-a-boom style play.

The gun depression on the VK is not terrible despite being a rear-turreted tank, and with the excellent turret face, the VK can be quite decent at using slight variations in terrain to create impromptu hull-down fighting locations which relocating between areas of better cover.

|InTheGame_research= Tank is elite in stock configuration

|InTheGame_equipment= Vents, Tank Gun Rammer, Vertical Stabilizer
