History
At the end
of 1941 when the MAN and Daimler - Benz are competing to get the
manufacturing-contract of the new 30 tons medium prototype tank nickname
VK30 to fight against the last two tanks of the USSR , which was to
T-34 and KV-1 .
Not follow the old views of Germany industry, Skoda has a secret design of the tank (if produced) to be the best at that time. A medium tank with 20 tons of 50mm thick armor inclined 60 degrees, the vehicle using the 75A18L55 gun with rate of fire up to 15 rounds per min (it’s the one of a kind RoF in that time, Skoda model guns were later designed for E10 can reach up to 40 shots per minute according to Professor Hilary Doyle) due to the blank-ammunition system which was later reproduced in French tank.
The engine of the tank is also designed by Skoda, generating 450 horsepower designed to be placed horizontally to save space.
The design of Skoda cannot compare with the MAN Panther tank but compared to the same “weight class" at the time in the world, it absolutely has no rival and if mass produced, it is a very promising replacement for PzIII and PzIV began obsolete.

Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Good damage and penetration
- High HP
- Good forward and reverse speed
- Good gun depression
- Best money maker among the Nazi tier V (of course!)
- Can scout in a pinch (although not advised)
Cons:
- Long aim time
- Rather low view range - can be remedied through tactical use of Binoculars.
- Has difficulties reaching top speed
- Vulnerable to ammo rack damage
- Poor armor
- Slow turret and hull traverse
Compare with other tier V pre med
Firepower: 10 points, equal to M4A2 and Matilda at 110 HP damage
Penetration: 10 points, 118mm, the best in tier V pre med
Blood: 10 points, 610 HP seems a bit excessive in tier 5
Speed: 10 points, 60 km/h this is highest in comparison
Mobility: 4 points, less than Matilda in stand-rotating, but the reverse speed and acceleration is quite good (0 to 20km/h almost immediately)
Aim time: 3 points, not fast nor low
Accuracy: 10 points out with Matilda and MBP

Play-style (Recommend)
This awesome
med can scout, snip, dog fight… You should be a sniper, cover your
mates and scout-hunter. Flanker also is a good choice. Hull down every
time and always be with your allies. Solo only when you sure you can get
the enemy.
Equipment (Recommend)
- Medium gun rammer
- Improved ventilation
- Enhanced gun laying drive
Crew skill
Premium tank is used for training crew; you should let them learn the skill that necessary for primary tank.
