Supertest: Kampfpanzer 07 RH Tier VIII Premium Medium Tank

The Kampfpanzer 07 RH, a German Tier VIII medium tank, is going to the Supertest. The vehicle has no known historical reference, the only information I was able to find was in the German Archivportal under “Studie 2 über Projekt 07/RH der Firma Rheinstahl Hanomag AG Bremen: Bd. 6”, but unfortunately is not available online. The vehicle seems to have some reference to being an alternative study to the Kampfpanzer 70, so maybe we could see this vehicle also added to World of Tanks in the future?

This lightly-armoured, dynamic, fast-firing vehicle has a 90 mm gun that reloads in 5.5 seconds and deals 200 damage per shot. A standard shell penetrates 205 mm, while the special HEAT shell penetrates 255 mm. Its dispersion is 0.37, aiming time is 1.5 s, and view range is 380 m. The vehicle’s survival depends more on its dynamics since the armour is relatively weak. Only the upper glacis plate, thanks to the angle, can withstand enemy shells.

The vehicle has a specific power of 23.3 h.p./t that enables it to reach speeds up to 65 km/h. It has 1,350 hit points. Thanks to its mobility, the Kampfpanzer 07 RH can freely move around the battlefield, selecting the best positions for maximizing its high damage per minute. If needed, this vehicle can play as a scout, but it feels most comfortable in a supporting role where it can constantly deal damage and stave off the enemy.
