The title said "Panther" and my mind said "F9F".  I know (almost) nothing about tanks.  My nephew used to drive M1A2s if that counts.

The Panther would fit between the Panzer and the Tiger, wouldn't it?

Panther would be better than a Tiger...it had amazing speed, awesome sloped armor, and a gun velocity that made it uber scary.  If you think Tigers are scary wait till you meet one of these! :prayI whanna see what kinda damage i can do with one

Gonna hafta ignore some of the guys in here, the only posts they think are worth the time are thiers.
But... OMFG A PANTHER WOULD BE SO COOOOL!!! but the sherman is the uber'st tank of all time, and I gauruntee for some reason or other the panzer would outcost the firefly, yet be only mildly more effective................a seperate matter needing attention I believe would be the current perk cost of certain vehicles in the game....i.e. that waaay too cheap firefly :aok
