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 times are changing, and this new player rolls out with something way more powerful. The Kpz 07 RH is packing 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. Make sure to always keep your bulletproof suit on, because shells will be flying in rapid succession. This well-trained agent can unload 3,000 damage per minute.

Mobility

If you think the gun is something to fear, wait until you hear what they have to say about its agility. Analyses have revealed that the 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, but of course, the other side has its own team of engineers and this number will only go up with the right equipment. This medium tank relies on its speed more than a thick skin to outwit opponents but can 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 also 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.

ACCEPT THE CRYSTAL CHALLENGE

WARNING! It seems that double agents have infiltrated the briefing. They have paid off the Kampfpanzer 07 RH to immediately join its side.
