Heavy German tank of the eighth level, large and powerful - VK 100.01 (P). We will consider in detail all the characteristics and help with the choice of consumables, as well as the necessary modules.
TTX VK 100.01 (P)
The viewing radius of this tank is quite impressive - 400 meters. If desired, of course, it can always be increased to the maximum value using the equipment.
This machine weighs up to 130 tons, and the engine with a capacity of 1 horsepower, together with the mass, makes up a specific power value of 200 hp / t.
We see low power density per ton of weight. From here we get a very small maximum speed - 20/15 km / h. The speed of rotation of the chassis, by the way, is also low.
Thus, we get a machine that is designed more to contain the enemy and actively push through.
Booking VK 100.01 (P)
Armoring is one of the most interesting parts of the review, because once you look at the parameters of this tank, it becomes clear that it will be an excellent tanker.
Hull armor - 200/130/120 mm, towers - 230/160/140 mm. And the safety margin is 1 units.
The upper frontal part is practically not penetrated by the enemy, it is set at a very favorable angle.
The thickness of the sides is also pleasing when the hull is set to the enemy side with a “diamond”. In this case, even tank destroyers will be difficult to break through the tank. However, do not forget that a direct penetration into the side of the tank is not uncommon, you need to monitor the side projections of the vehicle.
The tower armor is also very good. In addition to thick armor plates, there is also a wide gun mantlet, which provides additional protection for the turret.
The turret penetrates well into the sides, so always keep an eye on the lateral projection of not only the hull, but also the turret.
The commander's cupola is usually a very vulnerable place for tanks. Here, only cars of the tenth level will be able to break through it.
Cannon
The armament parameters of this tank are a moot point. This gun has a very good alpha strike for a tier 440 vehicle - 4,17 units. At the same time, the rate of fire cannot please - 1 rounds per minute. Thus, we get a controversial damage per minute - about 800 units. And not a little, and I would like more.
The value of armor penetration here is also pleasing - 220 millimeters. This will be quite enough for an effective fight against classmates and many machines of the ninth level. In any case, you will have to carry sub-calibers.
With a significant one-time damage, the accuracy of the gun usually suffers. This tank was no exception.
It has a large dispersion - 0,38 per 100 meters, a long aiming time - 2,59 seconds and mediocre stabilization. We will fix this with the help of equipment and perks.
Elevation angles are quite good. The gun bends down by eight degrees, and rises by 30. This adds to the comfort of shooting.
Advantages and disadvantages
After getting acquainted with the main characteristics, we will analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the tank, so it will be easier to decide on equipment and equipment.
Pros:

Equipment
In order to make the game on this tank even more comfortable, we will select the necessary modules for it. We offer an option that is perfect for strengthening strengths and correcting weaknesses.
- The Rammer will increase the amount of damage per minute.
- The vertical stabilizer will slightly correct the poor accuracy of the gun.
- Ventilation will improve all crew skills.
The last item can be replaced with “coated optics” if you need an even greater level of visibility.
Crew training
In order to train the crew without mistakes, which will take time to correct, we propose the following sequence. It is aimed primarily at speeding up the repair of the machine, this is necessary for heavy duty, where the emphasis is on armor and safety margin.

Equipment for VK 100.01 (P)
The main rule when choosing consumables is to be guided by the supply of silver. With its lack, we choose the standard set in the form:
- small first aid kit;
- small repair kit;
- manual fire extinguisher.
If we can afford a set, then, of course, we take it:
- large first aid kit;
- large repair kit;
- chocolate (you can also take an automatic fire extinguisher, but this technique rarely burns).
Tactics of the game
The correct construction of combat tactics is an understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the vehicle, as well as a clear distribution of its forces.
We have a very low maximum speed, which is why we can safely call this machine a tank of one direction. This means that you have to choose a direction even before the start of the battle and move along a certain course for the entire battle. Turning back to break the hold or help the allies is very likely to fail.
Moving in the front line will be the best solution, because we have excellent armor and mediocre accuracy.
The ideal option would be to stand with your forehead to the enemy, while turning the body a little for additional armor protection. However, that our tank is vulnerable to top-end vehicles, so accuracy even in the case of the VK 100.01 (P) will come in handy.
In battle, implement alpha strike, that is, bring the gun completely. Don't let your opponent spin you. Always keep an eye on the mini-map and the general state of the battle.
Сonclusion
VK 100.01 (P) is a great one-way tank designed for comfortable play on the front line. It will definitely appeal to lovers of heavy equipment and machines of the German nation.
