PantherG turret speed

The Panther/G has a turret that rotates 360 degrees in 21 seconds in game. The real Panther/G takes 24 seconds.

The M4A3-76 turret speed is just right.
The M4A3-75 is 0.6 seconds too slow.

The 75mm has a lighter gun and is better balanced. Even though the 76mm gun was shortened for better balance it still slowed rotation to 15 seconds, which is what the game has. However, the 75mm could rotate 360 degrees in 14.4 seconds.

Also, according to quite a few books by Zaloga the German Tiger 1 and Panthers could be penetrated in the upper engine compartment by heavy machine guns of fighter aircraft. If set afire the Panther is no better than a Sherman.
