0:0:0

The A7V was a tank introduced by the German Empire in 1918, during World War I. One hundred chassis were ordered in early 1917, ten to be finished as fighting vehicles with armored bodies, and the remainder as cargo carriers. The number to be armored was later increased to 20. They were used in action from March to October of that year, and were the only tanks produced by Germany in World War I to be used in combat.

Battlefield 1
The A7V is a vehicle featured in Battlefield 1, serving as a heavy tank. Gameplay of the vehicle first appeared at the official reveal event of the game.

The A7V can hold up to six passengers. The driver has the ability to deploy an anti-tank mine and smokescreen for protection. Passengers may make use of an MG 08 machine gun or flamethrower, depending on loadout.

This very large vehicle has low speed for a ground vehicle, but can still outpace a sprinting soldier. Despite its tracked movement, it can still get stranded on objects that happen to lift it off the ground.
