Vehicle ID#2

[11bang_bang1983-87]

Ok ladies and gentlemen I'm gonna start another vehicle ID question for everyone. Please be detailed in your answer. I would like to see more then the name of the vehicle. I would like to see some information on the vehicle itself. Well, here it is. The first person that answers this question will be awarded 25 milcreds.

What is it?

German WWI Sturmpanzer A7V

The name is likely derived from the "Allgemeines Kriegsdepartment 7 Abteilung Verkehrswesen" (General War Department 7, Department For Transportation), although some theorize that Hauptmann Vollmer gave the V to the name. In German the tank was called "Sturmpanzer-Kraftwagen".
The tank itself had 20mm steel armour at the sides and 30mm at the front. The top speed was about 15km/h at roads and 5km/h in the field. It was powered by two 4 cylinder engines with 100PS each. The tank was 7.35 meters long and 3.06 meters wide. Due to different configurations on the top of the tank, the height varied between 2.70 and 3 meters high.

The A7V was armed with six 7.9mm machine guns and a 5.7cm cannon. The crew normally consisted of to 18 people.
