<!-- ''In the description, the first part should be about the history of the creation and combat usage of the vehicle, as well as its key features. In the second part, tell the reader about the ground vehicle in the game. Insert a screenshot of the vehicle, so that if the novice player does not remember the vehicle by name, he will immediately understand what kind of vehicle the article is talking about.'' -->

== Usage in battles ==
 
<!--''Describe the tactics of playing in the vehicle, the features of using vehicles in the team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view but instead give the reader food for thought. Describe the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).''-->
 
 
 
The VT 1-2 excels at when it comes to acceleration, high speed and low profile. This provides the opportunity to move into sniping positions early in the game or even capture midpoints. The tank is easily destroyed and should be played as if it was a glass cannon, i.e. you stay behind cover/concealment and scan the area using binoculars and/or the third-person view and then only moving into firing position when the coast is clear.
 
 
 
'''Engaging the enemy'''
 
 
 
Since the left barrel reloads at a constant 5-second rate and the right barrel in around 7 seconds, you can fire 3 shots within 5 seconds (left, right, left again) in the first engagement which lets you easily correct any error in distance estimation and/or finish off immobilized tanks. Using a custom sight from live.warthunder.com like https://live.warthunder.com/post/861278/en/ is recommended in order to be able to quickly fire the second barrel without having to switch between armaments.
 
 
 
'''Things to be aware of'''
 
 
 
Be aware of guided missiles from helicopters on open maps, though. If you see helicopters, you might need to change plans and hide. Furthermore, if you have sniped 2+ enemies, the revenge plane is a common sight and you are an easy target for them unless you change position and move into a forest or populated area.

=== Pros and cons ===
 
<!--Summarise and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in a bulleted list. Try not to use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - use substitutions with softer forms such as "inadequate" and "effective".-->
 
 
 
'''Pros:'''
 
 
 
* Incredibly good mobility on and off road, courtesy of its extremely powerful engine
 
* Twin 120 mm cannons are unrivalled at its rank:
 
** HEAT-FS and APFSDS can penetrate almost any tank it encounters
 
** Able to shoot 3 times within 5 seconds
 
** One cannon is equipped with an autoloader
 
* Very quick hull traverse
 
* Due to the gun layout, the {{PAGENAME}} can position itself to fire one cannon while the other is behind cover
 
 
 
'''Cons:'''
 
 
 
* Thin, mild steel armour cannot resist anything resembling anti-tank fire
 
* 3 crew members are grouped together in the front of the tank, poor survivability
 
* Cannons cannot traverse horizontally, hull aiming mechanic must be used for precise fire
 
* Very difficult to fire on the move
 
* No machine guns for fending off aircraft, highly vulnerable to air attack
 
* No access to smoke grenades/shells/systems
 
* Due to hull aiming, the hull tends to roll back or forward depending on terrain
 
* When loading ammo on a capture point, the left ammo rack is fully loaded first, then the right ammo rack.
 
 
 
== History ==
 
The project for an experimental turretless tank was started for development in Germany in the early 70’s as part of the replacement program for the Leopard 1. The unusual layout of the “casemate” tank type had several advantages: the possibility of installing two cannons at once, increased protection due to low silhouette and enhanced protection in the hull front profile and also increased mobility due to a reduced weight compared to traditional tanks. As part of this innovative project, two vehicles were built under the general name of  Versuchsträger (German: experimental platform). The first VT1-1 prototype was placed on a shortened chassis and was equipped with two 105mm rifled cannons with manual loading. 
 
 
 
On the second VT1-2, two 120 mm calibre smoothbore cannons were used - the left cannon mounted with an automatic loader mechanism. Both of these prototypes used a number of parts and assemblies from the European “long-term production” experimental KPz-70. Since both vehicles were intended exclusively for the testing and development of new battle tactics, they were made from structural non-armour steel. Tests carried out by several NATO block countries, but they all left the project one by one and in 1985, Germany itself refused further development in favour of developing the Leopard 2 which was created according to a classic tank scheme.
