We know what a Pershing is. Saw action, but very late in war. Expect to see the Tiger II or IS-2 first. Neither of which will happen before the Panther shows up. Could be a while.

This video shows the death of a Sherman at the hands of a Panther (2:15) . An M-26 then makes short work of the Panther (3:05). The Pershing nails the Panther a second time as a crew member attempts to flee (3:12). The american tanker crawling out of the Sherman @ 2:17 is missing a foot. I believe he died as a result of his injuries.

Here's a better video of the same encounter:

I would for all purposes like to see the M-18 Hellcat tank destroyer if the panther is modeled and released.

These are a few references:
