The A7V was the only operational tank of WW1 for Germany. Only 20 of these tanks were built.
The A7V was a tank that had a male and female variant similar to the Mark IV British tanks. The German female tanks would have 8x 7.5 maxim machine guns while the male variant had 1x 57mm cannon and 6x 7.5 maxim machine guns.
The A7V’s armor was 30mm at the front and 20mm at the sides and rear they had 2 x 6 inline Dilamer petrol, 75 kW. It’s top speed is 15 km or 9 mph at top speeds.
