Review of Kampfpanzer 07 P(E) in World of Tanks
The tank is equipped with a 120mm alpha-strike gun. 420. The base sub-caliber projectile has armor penetration in 260 mm and will have a high flight speed. Special (gold) cumulative projectile with breakdown 325 mm - the flight speed is lower, but penetration does not decrease with distance, however, you should try to avoid hitting the screens on enemy vehicles.
The gun is reduced quickly behind 1,7 seconds, the accuracy is also excellent 0,33 at 100 meters. The car recharges in 12 seconds, but with full stuffing it will be possible to accelerate to 9+, which is quite good and can guarantee about 2700 damage per minute. Quite comfortable vertical guidance angles -9 ... + 20 degrees allow you to play off terrain on most maps.
The nominal frontal armor does not look very reliable, as for a heavy tank: 190 mm tower, 140 mm body, but the VLD is completely covered by a “dump”, which acts as a screen. Margin of safety is low - 2200.
The car has good dynamics: 50 km / h maximum speed and gain it will be cheerfully due to specific power 16,8 hp / t. View Radius 420 meters, one of the best among tier 10 TTs, will allow you to overexpose more "blind" opponents.
Strengths and Weaknesses
Briefly about the strengths and weaknesses of the tank, as far as possible to highlight them from the information on the supertest.
Advantages:
- good accuracy (dispersion per 100 meters);
- quick aiming time of the gun;
- comfortable UVN;
- excellent mobility;
- high viewing radius.
Disadvantages:
- small one-time damage as for a heavy tank;
- not everyone will like the choice of a gold projectile and its breakdown, when compared with Super Conqueror (they have similar firepower indicators);
- mediocre booking, which will cause difficulties in fully playing the role of heavy.
So far, the stabilization of the gun remains in question.
Conclusion
Summing up the performance characteristics, we can say that Kpz. 07P(E) not only externally, but also in other respects, it has much in common with medium tanks and differs significantly from the usual concept of its German classmates. Its universal characteristics allow it to adapt to various situations on the battlefield, in this it vaguely resembles the Soviet 277 object (in terms of dynamics) and British Super Conqueror (in terms of firepower). Excellent mobility indicators allow you to quickly respond to a changing situation in battle and change position in time.
