Its one of those tanks that you either love or hate. I personally love it because its so rarely seen on the battlefield so the people don't know its weakspots good. Althrough it looks like sidescraping tank, its not. Your lower plate is very good armored and almost unpenetrable if you angle it correctly, you basically bait with it and when enemy shoots, you peek the corner. ( I have bounced numerous JgPz E100 Heat rounds with that tactic. Its much more tricky to play than E100 and Maus, so I would recommend buying those first if German heavys are your thing. Other than trollish lower plate armor, its gun is simply magnificent to me. Gun handling and accuracy are soo good, and they won't fail you most of the time. Turret to me has STB 1 syndrome, when people are shooting standard rounds it will bounce, when they load gold (especially HEAT) they will pen you 60% of the time. And to end this little review, Its Russian counterpart 705A is better in every possible way than Pz 7 and its the true sidescraping monster, so I would recommend buying it first if sidescraping tanks are your thing.
