Panther!!!!

Cmon lets put it in the game.......

From historical reference, it was a very good tank and shots from nme fire would just bounce off of it (germans got the idea from the T-34-85) i would really like to see that in and some other tanks!!!!

If you put the Panther in the game, then no one would ever drive the T34 or Panzer IV again.

The very first M26 to see combat in Europe was knocked out by a Tiger.

The Panther has fast speed and great armor just like the T34, together with a powerful high velocity German gun.

There really is not a single American Tank in the game, since the Firefly was a British variation of the M4 Sherman.

The M10 tank destroyer would be a much better addition, as it was used in large numbers from Normandy on.   Over 7,000 were built, and like the M4, the British also upgraded some of theirs with the powerful 17 pounder gun, designating it the "Wolverine".

The tank would have great visibility with its open top turret for the crew in GV battles.   However, that would also make it more vulnerable to a strafing air attack.

Here is a well preserved M10 stored at an Israeli Army Museum:

Do you really think that shots will bounce off the Panther's massive sloped frontal armor??

Here is one from the US Army's Ordnance Museum:

The sloped armor is was caused the hopeful deflection.

More like the T-34/76. The Germans didn't encounter the T-34/85 until more than a year after the Panther had reached prototype stage.
