[beau32]

Looks like we are getting some new German Iron.  

[Guppy35]

Looks really nice.  Some great work there.  Not a Beaufighter though!

[LCADolby]

You can't perk that, it's too pretty!

how does this compare to tanks already in game?

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?) all in all its a great tank for the game. great gun, great armor, good speed. definitely perk worthy.

It will die to a well placed 1000lbs bomb like any other tank

if you compare it with a tiger , its much faster, is a smaller target, hits comparable with the tiger up to 2km.

I has good angled armor in front, but can easy be destroyed with a sideshot.



Now Im waiting for the stalin tank IS2 to be made

Don't recall armor specs but that 76mm gun should be lethal, higher muzzle velocity than the Tiger's 88mm.

75mm iirc

For Aces High purposes, it's merely a Tiger that's a bit faster. While it doesn't sport the 88 the Tiger has, it -does- have
a very high velocity 75mm. Your standard M4s and PzIV tankers will be screeching just as loudly as they do
now when they see a Tiger as they will with this one.
  IMHO it's like adding another jet to the game; what's the point, really?

It's about the same league as the 17lbs on the Firefly
