the panther was basically a replacement for the panzer iv, it had the standard 7.5cm(75mm) main gun but had a higher muzzle velocity and had sloped armor which made it almost impenetrable vs allied guns but the allies had sheer numbers on their side. The panther was also designed to help support the tiger 1 and tiger 2's in battle for the faster tanks that the tiger 1 and 2 guns couldn't traverse fast enough to shoot and to keep the firefly busy whilst the tiger shot it.... i personally think we shouldn't add it.   :noid

Id like to see the panther G added.

Post by: bigrich on August 30, 2008, 07:00:05 PM
the panther is more maneuverable and faster version of the tiger but doesn't have a 88mm main gun...it would be like having a second tiger in AH

IIRC the 75mm on the Panther had similar penetration to the 88mm on the Tiger.

Un-perked version of a Tiger?

Would probably have to be perked higher...

titanic3,

The Panther V G would be significantly superior to any tank we have in AH.  Front armor that is tougher than the Tiger I's and a gun that is more powerful than the Sherman Firefly VC's 17lber.

It was better due to the longer barrel

Actually the design of the Panther had a flaw that caused a "bullet trap" between the Gun mantel and the main body of the tank, and when hit there would cause catostrophic damage.  The Panther was also notorious for break downs and was very unreliable in the field.

not really just aim for the tracks plus it faster then the tiger a better match for the new T-34/85

Break downs are simulated by disconnections.   :P


Seriously, no, we don't want breakdowns.  We don't want a random number generator determining who wins and loses a fight.  We want player choices and skill determining that.

How about back to the basics? 

Before adding all of this and that, can we just have that darn ORANGE Paint removed from the default skin of the Panzer and the Tiger? 

How about instead of a new tank, we could just get a new default skin? 

Most of us would do better and enjoy GVs more if we didn't  have Graphics O' Grady on the other end being able to see us because he has his skins turned off. :furious

Please, let's get that stuff fixed first.   :)

Absolutely correct Jet.

One of the biggest advantages the Sherman enjoys right now has absolutely nothing to do with its armor or gun. It is the fact that the terrains are so monochrome, that same tone of green for 99.9% of everything, and the Sherman's paint just-so-happens to blend in with it perfectly. Trying to fight Shermans is like trying to fight the alien from "Predator".

A too think the Tiger and Pzr need to have the yellow/orange/tan colored scheme traded for one of the more green/gray colors.  We can pick out a Pzr in a green field like I can a watermelon in a pile of oranges.  Both the M4 and T34 enjoy a bit of decent camo and can stay hidden much easier.

camo  would be a nice touch for tanks
