Team : Schwalbenheim Republic # KPz-70 Role : Main Battle Tank ## Addons | Addon | Cost | | ------ | ---------- | | VisMod | 250 points | ## [General information](/md/rv/vehicles/kpz-70.md#general-information) Description : The **KPz-70** is a Main Battle Tank, the German designation for the joint **MBT-70** program developed with the United States in the 1960s to replace the Leopard 1 and M60. The project featured a low profile, 152 mm gun-launcher with Shillelagh ATGMs, and an oscillating turret with the driver in the hull; it was cancelled in 1969 due to cost and complexity. In-game it is a tracked vehicle weighing 51.7 tonnes with a crew of three and **MTU MB 873 Ka-501** diesel producing 1,500 horsepower for 29 hp/t and 64 km/h in both directions. The main armament is the **152mm XM150E5** with APFSDS, **MGM-51C** ATGMs, and HE; a coaxial **7.62mm MG3** and a commander’s **20mm Rh202** provide secondary fire. The turret is stabilized and has smoke grenades, a laser rangefinder, and FCS with lead; active suspension adjusts ride height, roll, and pitch. This vehicle features a single addon: **Vismod**. The Vismod addon costs 250 points, this kit equips the vehicle with various external stowage sacks and a non-functional IR searchlight. This addon is purely cosmetic and provides no statistical improvements to armor or combat effectiveness; instead, it is intended to simulate the appearance of a field-modified vehicle.
