I just noticed that due to mobility, Germany still leaks tanks which has excellent maneuverability, VK3002D/DB can be very good choice, which has a 650HP engine with only 34t weight.
I don’t have enough documents to prove if it has better reversing speed and horizontal guidance speed, but if it has, that will help a lot. Considering there is a prototype built, I think it can be added so far.
kinda…
giving us aroun 19.1hp/t which isnt a lot. but i can see how this would be better than the panther A (~13hp/t) at least but nearly the same as the VK30.03M (18.57hp/t)
but you have me intruiged.
i may try a suggestion on it
I wonder if the horizontal guidance speed could be over 15 degree/s, the main issue for VK3002M is due the turret turning speed makes it like a TD instead of a tank, and also the reversing speed
I wouldn’t even call this Kinda, this is just a shell.
Probably to be suggested, unless Gaijin changed their tone about it, this isn’t a functional prototype.
You also have to ask yourself, why haven’t we seen more vehicles like it in such state.
Gaijin seems to simply prefer completed vehicles that are easy to model than ones only discernible from blueprints. Of course there are some outliers here and there, but that generally appears to be the preference.
And last I checked, the VK 30.01(D) had a functional prototype, albeit without a turret, that competed against the MAN prototype in running trials.
Even then, an empty “shell” that is proven to exist via a few photos should be enough for a suggestion by forum standards.
Yes, these are standards to allow for them to be accepted onto the forum as a suggestion. The game devs themselves changed their attitude on partially constructed vehicles a few years ago. I think this was even confirmed by Anton or his brother in a interview, I cannot quite remember. Ships are the only exception to this rule, the keel needs to be laid down and have some percentage of completion.
THOUGH, this isn’t to say these vehicles will never come, I do think they have a place in the game.
Should be enough to fulfil the partial suggestion category.
What love the most about the VK is its fun and mobility. If you’re telling me there chance that one with a better turret traverse rate and reverse gear exists, i would be beyond excited for it!
Sadly, it doesn’t mean it will be added
The good example is F-111K
It was partially built but was straight up denied and replaced by F-111C
Yet they spammed the Maus
From some description, it was built and tested, but due to the allies bomb, the prototype was destroyed.
I have found a website that shows some details about VK3002D, but unfortunately, it said the turret wasn’t finished.
