We have more perk tanks than we have unperked tanks.

Not real excited about this one......

The Panther, even with it's mechanical problem may have been the best tank of the war. It had good armor a fast rate of fire a faster turret than a Tiger and good road speed and a great gun. (about like a 17 pounder)  I am happy to see it is coming to the game. WTG HTC.

the panther had the frontal armor comparison to a tiger while the rest of the armor was weaker. almost like a panzer IVs but a little stronger. has a 75mm gun but iirc it is a better 75mm than the pnzrIV but i might be wrong with that. normal speed, irl it had a fragile transmission but it was the first tank to be able to rotate on its axis and the only GV in WWII able to do this. it also had a poor suspension but again this wouldnt be in the game just like the bad transmission wouldnt be. (i wonder if HTC is mapping the rotation on its axis into the game?) :headscratch: all in all its a great tank for the game. great gun, great armor, good speed. definitely perk worthy.

In terms of AH, think of the Panther as being almost indistinguishable to both the Firefly and Tiger for AP performance.  The armor of the Panther will be very similar to the Tiger and far superior to the Firefly, at least in the front.  It *should* have more speed, I've seen speeds of 29mph to 35 mph listed vs 25 mph for both the Tiger and Firefly.  Reload times, if HTC goes "by the book" as they seem to do in this category, should be right at 6 seconds.      

The gun of the Panther tank is the 75mm Kw.K.42 L / 70.  The gun of the Panzer Mk IV is the 75mm KwK.40 L / 48.  The projectiles are the exact same thing (PzGr.39 @ 6.8kg and 7.5cm), but the case of the KwK.42 cartridge is a bit bigger than the case of KwK.40 cartridge thereby holding more propellant and producing 200m per seconds more velocity (740m/s vs 940m/s).  

The Panther (vs the Pzr IV) will be able to penetrate 30mm more armor at 1000m, 27mm more at 1500m, and 26mm more at 2000m.

Anyone want to bet this thing is perked MORE than the Firefly and only slightly less than a Tiger?  I'll wager 5pts LESS than the Tiger.  You heard it here, first.   :D
