Advantages:

Rather high DPM
Good top speed, maneuverability, and specific power
Great view and signal range
Huge gun mantlet with the Krupp Turm turret provides strong turret armor, same as the Tiger I
Highest HP of the Tier 6 heavy tanks (excluding the Tog II)

Disadvantages:

Unsloped hull armour with only 75 mm of armour provides little protection against other Tier VI tanks
Poor penetration for a Tier 6 heavy
One of the worst stock grinds: extremely sluggish due to underpowered engine, lousy gun and weak turret with huge cupola

Tank description:

The VK 30.01 (P) is a German tier 6 heavy tank.The Porsche company developed the concept of a new vehicle in 1939. On March 5, 1941, after numerous approvals, the company prepared blueprints and, in July 1941, produced the hull from mild steel. The hull and chassis (with detachable equipment for trenching) passed performance trials. One wooden prototype of the turret and one wooden prototype of the hull were manufactured. In 1942, the project was discontinued in favor of new heavy tanks.Note: this tank was changed from a Medium to a Heavy in Update 1.9. As this tank was used to prototype the Pz.Kpfw. VI Tiger (P), it''s similar in size and layout. Its comparatively weak side armour and low traverse rate leaves the tank vulnerable to flank shots. However, it makes up for this with decent speed and a gun that has good DPM and is accurate at long range.The VK 30.01 (P) leads to the Tiger (P).
