Tank description:

The VK 30.02 (D) is a German tier 7 medium tank.The prototype manufactured in the spring of 1942 was supposed to represent an updated project of Daimler-Benz. It featured a new chassis with torsion-bar suspension and eight support rollers placed in a checkerboard layout. The plan was to mount the Maybach HL 210 P45 engine and the 75 mm KwK 42 L/71 gun on the vehicle. However, the MAN project (future Pz.Kpfw. V Panther) was eventually selected. No prototypes of the Daimler-Benz vehicle were finished.Compared to its predecessor, this tank plays like a true medium, with armour and health to brawl, but less maneuverability. You will want to take advantage of the armour by positioning yourself in such a way that shells will bounce off you. Even with the weight of the armour, the mobility is still a high point. Its gun selection is much like its cousins from the heavy tank lines, the VK 30P or the VK 36H, but a tier late. The 88mm L/56 comes with decent damage potential and it is powerful enough to wake up any sleeping heavy, although the penetration is rather insufficient for its tier, so aiming for the sides and rear is a must. You have some capacity for fighting up-close due to your speed and mobility, but expect to be out-gunned by other mediums.The VK 30.02 (D) leads to the Indien-Panzer.
