FORGOTTEN PANTHER TANK - Panther G in War Thunder - OddBawZ
Ойындар
The Panther G is probably the least played Panther in War Thunder. I actually see less of these than the locked Panther II. A shame really, it's such an AMAZING tank!
The Panther G is mixed bag of pros and cons. On one hand the mantlet offers good protection against shot traps but on the other it creates a larger weak spot on the turret face much more so than the Panther A and Panther D! In my own opinion it's a much worse design for War Thunder assuming we disregard its purpose in real life.
The chassis as well feels like a direct downgrade over the Panther A. Its reverse speed feels much slower, acceleration is pretty poor in comparison and it also has a Cupola the size of Jupiter.
This vehicle is almost completely superseded by the Panther A in every way in War Thunder but sits at a much higher Battle Rating. This just seems to be the way for German Tanks in War Thunder.

not every Ausf.G had the Kinnblende. It was introduced in the G Mid production and was only placed on every second-third tank. Thats why you can find plenty of late G´s without it. I guess the reason was that small parts like the mantlet where already produced and they had a big stock of those

"that shouldn't have killed him but it did". Pretty much WT in a nutshell.
Let me get this straight. Gaijin have made the first iteration of the Panther built in WW2 be a better tank than the late war G version which had all sorts of improvements to it's performance. Okay... makes total sense. Battle simulator my foot.

Ground battles are as far from a simulated experience as you can get, so I don't know why that surprises you. Also the improvements made to the Panther G aren't improvements that apply in game, as a lot of them are to do with issues not present in the game such as reliability and visibility. With a better vision optic for the driver, more reliable transmission and a speed governor to stop engine overheating which was a big issue with the previous Panthers. Also given the engagement distances irl vs ingame the chin is much more valuable irl, and the game doesn't reflect that as you have to deal with more powerful guns and at closer unrealistic ranges.

optics do be impenetrable. Just took a look at Tiger H1 bc i was having some trouble penning them. Found out it's strongest point in the whole tank is the optics. Front plate is around 100mm thick, but somehow the optics say it has effective thickness of 300mm. Anyone would think that's a weak point as it isnt completely armored, there's a fucking hole in the middle but gaijin says "fuck u and ur logic" so it is thrice as effective to shoot directly at the front place instead of aiming for the "weak point"

Yes sir. What a monstrous and beast looking tank you got there, Sir. Always love your video and your channel. As always keep up the good work, Sir.
Ya youre right Odd, its switching places with the Panther F, which im a little bummed about because i thought i was gonna get to roll out with the A, F, and G in one lineup. But i guess it makes a little sense, the turret armor on the F is a little better so i guess thats Gaijins excuse for moving it back up. Anyway though, i would like to request the M46 and F-80 combo again. ive been having a lot of fun in the M46 lately. spading it wasnt that big of a deal and when its spaded it is a super fun tank. i dont even use the HEAT shell that much, mostly the m82 shot because its so good.
That Marder joke at the beginning caught me off guard haha
Happy birthday dude!
Two great battles to watch - intense!
the music in the intro. i've heard it somewhere before. i start thinking about Sniper Elite 4 when i hear it. is it the menu music from that game?? anyway, amazing video as always Odd. you make my days survivable in a sea of bullies and salty gamers that get me banned for having a good game... (yes, my account was banned for a week because of a salty enemy player claimed i was hacking. tho, Gaijin's reason for the ban was "continued racism and sexism in game chat" and that makes no sense, as i dont even chat with people in game lol.)

They should all be at 6.0 besides the the Panther D, it’s not right for the easy 8 and the T-34-85 to be the same br with something that shares similar if not better characteristics to the ARL-44 as a medium tank
the reason the G feels slower than the A is because it had a speed governor installed to help with engine overheating, so it doesn't hit quite as high speeds.
it was literally the most produced Version of the Panther tho
I thought you said that you would play the IKV 72 a few weeks back? Would love to see it!
Please play the 76 Jumbo Odd! As you might be able to tell from my pfp it is my absolute favorite tank in the game and I would love to see you feel the joy of playing it. Edit: I suggest bringing the F8F and AD-4 out with it, both fabulous planes for GRB (or the F4U-4B if you wanna go bankrupt)
You have to love it when Odd says I'M DEAD...3 seconds later he kills like three people !
Hope you're feeling better dude! P.s. Wellington MkX request The reason for my request is two fold tbh, first, my connection is absoloute dogpoop, so I just can't play WT and grind it out myself. The other is my Grandpa flew them as part of Coastal Command during WW2, so I just love seeing anything to do with them tbh.
Its been moved to 5.7 since, so fits really well in a 5.7 lineup.
