The vehicle’s relatively poor armor is compensated with great dynamics. The specific power of 23.3 h.p./t. and top speed of 65 km/h allow this vehicle to take good firing positions quickly, perform sudden attacks, and navigate across the battlefield freely. Use this advantage to provide fire support to allies where it is most needed.
   

Firepower

An ordinary Walther PPK might have been the weapon of choice for the spies of the past, but the Kampfpanzer 07 RH is packing something way more powerful: a fast-firing 90-mm anti-aircraft cannon.

Our research team estimates that even standard shells will slice through 205 mm of steel, and HEAT won’t be stopped by anything under 255 mm. This well-trained agent can unload 3,000 damage per minute, so be sure to keep your bulletproof suit on!

Mobility

Its medium tank exterior is merely a façade that the Kampfpanzer 07 RH puts on to fool its adversaries–65 km/h top-speed and excellent maneuverability are taken right out of the light tank playbook. So, forget about running away if the Kpz 07 RH notices that you are tailing it.

Survivability

Agent Kpz 07 RH is well-trained in clandestine operations–you will have a hard time spotting it out in the field, and you can never be sure if it doesn’t already have an eye on you. Its standard view range is 390 m, which can be increased with the right equipment.

Though this medium tank relies on its speed more than a thick skin to outwit opponents, it can still take a punch if it has to. Beware: they say this agent can appear to be everywhere and nowhere all at once.

Equipment

Like every good agent, the Kpz 07 RH can resort to a number of gadgets for extra support in the field.

Recommended Setup
Turbocharger Vertical Stabilizer Tank Gun Rammer
Alternative Setup
Improved Ventilation Vertical Stabilizer Coated Optics

Crew Skills

The life of a secret agent can be a lonely one, but of course, no agent has to do all the work. A well-trained crew with field experience can be a vital asset, especially if they complement the strengths of the agent.
