Panzer V "Panther" tank

[321BAR]

do japanese tanks do that too?

technically yes they should due to the fact that iirc all japanese tanks had stronger frontal armor also.

Doesnt the panthar have tht pointed front on the turret? So any oncoming bullets from the front will richochet off?

pointed front? do you mean sloped armor? no it doesnt but the gun mantle would provide extra armor protection

If the Panther has as horrifically lulzy armour as those most-recently-added Shermans do, then I await it's arrival to the game with baited breath; it should make for some nice 75mm lunch (some day, at least).

Categorizing the Panther's side armor as very weak is an exaggeration. It is still better then the M4 and on par with the T-34. The Panther was designed for the medium tank role, not the heavy breakthrough role the Tiger was designed for. Simplified the Panther can be described as a T-34 with the Firefly's gun and Tiger's frontal protection.

If I ever take one out, there's no doubt I will roll it over against a rubber tree and be machine-gunned to death by a jeep.

That's it!  I'm gonna become a tank killer once I get my Beaufighter!  Gonna hunt Panthers with it!

[Angus]

Torpedo them, then rockets, then the Hizooka, all into the side

[Martyn]

Awesome!!!

I hope they do the running gear too - it was a smooth ride and could fire on the move better than most other tanks.

Hey that's great!  Will give you something to do in your retirement in 20 or so years, when we get the Beaufighter.  I mean really, other critical planes which contributed far more are needed before the Beaufighter.  Such as the TBD, He 100, Gloster Gladiator, Mitsubishi F1M, PZL P.11 etc..
