History
The Versuchsträger 1-2 (abbreviated to VT, meaning "test-beds" or "experiment carrier") were two German prototype twin gun turretless main battle tanks. Since the early 1970's, a number of West German companies have been working on conceptual designs for a successor to the Leopard 1 main battle tank. This project had the name Kampfpanzer 3 (KPz 3). The KPz 3 project was temporarily a British-German joint project, until the U.K. withdrew because they wanted a turreted tank. The Germans had already developed the Leopard 2 and therefore didn't see the need for another conventional tank. One of the companies involved was MaK, developing the VT 1-1 and VT 1-2. The test program ended proving that a twin-gunned turretless tank could be created with enough technical effort, but had drawbacks in both practical and tactical use.
In Game
The VT was added in 2.0. Its performance is similar to the Kanonenjagdpanzer, but with two guns instead of the Kanonenjagdpanzer's one gun.
