VK.72.01 K [push to 30k!]

29.8k Sakorsky  5 months ago

The Panzerkampfwagen VII Löwe (Lion) was a design for a super-heavy tank created by Krupp for the German government during World War II. The project, initially code-named VK 70.01 (K), never left the drawing board, and was dropped on 5–6 March 1942, in favor of Porsche's heavier Panzer VIII Maus.

The Löwe was designed in two variants, unofficially designated Leichter Löwe (light lion) and Schwerer Löwe (heavy lion), both with a crew of five:

Leichter Löwe/VK 70.01 (K) It was to weigh 76 t (75 long tons; 84 short tons), with 100 mm (3.9 in) of frontal armor, a front-mounted turret, a 10.5 cm (4.1 in) L/70 high velocity gun, and a coaxial machine gun, with a top speed of 27 km/h (17 mph). It was later cancelled by Adolf Hitler. Schwerer Löwe/VK 72.01(K) It was to weigh 90 t (89 long tons; 99 short tons), with 120 mm (4.7 in) frontal armor, a rear-mounted turret, a 10.5 cm L/70 high velocity gun, and a coaxial machine gun, but only managing a top speed of 23 km/h (14 mph). After redesign it had 150 mm (5.9 in) frontal armor, 8.8 cm (3.5 in) L/71 gun, and a top speed increased to 35 km/h (22 mph).

Notes:

-The braking is very powerful, do not brake suddenly at high speeds (as If you could reach such speeds)
-You need to use medium physics for this to function properly.
-Very laggy and may not be suitable for weaker devices.


Controls:

-Yaw (turn the turret)
-VTOL (elevate and depress gun)
-Pitch (move fwd/bwds)
-Roll (hull traverse)

Armaments:

-x1 15cm cannon with AP and HE
-7.92mm machine gun coax.

Enjoy.
