The <value_unset_error> is a [[|]] tier .
<value_unset_error>
It mounts the powerful 10.5 cm KwK 42 L/28, which has low accuracy and poor penetration, but is still capable of penetrating most SPGs and dealing 410 damage. Gold ammunition makes this howitzer quite effective against the sides and rear of heavy tanks, dealing substantially more damage than the heavy driver would expect. It is one of the fastest tanks in the game along with the T2 Light Tank, the M18 Hellcat, the A-20, and the T-50-2, with a decent turn rate and works well in pairs against slower mediums, other lightly armored vehicles and is good at defending artillery from other attacking scouts. It can also be used as a decent scout.
The <value_unset_error> marks the end of its line.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- High top speed
- High spotting range
- 105mm HE is capable of damaging any tank
- One hits SPGs up to tier 6
- Does massive damage on penetration, i.e. french tanks and rear of american heavies/meds
Cons:
- The acceleration is the slowest of the three tier 5 scouts
- It's the least agile
- It "bleeds" speed in corners
- Has trouble circling tanks because of the speed bleeding
- DPS is low compared to the others due to the HE gun
Performance
The VK 2801 has an unique gameplay and is very rewarding to play once mastered. The 105mm will guarantee a lot of fun in randoms. Simply auto aim on a stationary target and start firing away. it will do an avarage damage of 100 HP to most tanks and if you can get the rear or sides of tanks it is a really rewarding tank. Its top speed coupled with its high view range make it the best overal spotter of the 3 since it can cover more square meters per second. Learning the VK 2801 though takes time because a flaw or fault will almost always result in your certain death. One error and you will notice that its acceleration will put you in a nasty situation. So make sure keep moving and try performing drive by shots instead of the classic circle of death technique. The VK 2801's worst enemies are the Type 59, AMX 13 90, and the T-50-2 in close quarters.
