Panther Tanks: German Cats
Ойындар
During WW2, almost every nation that played a major role in the conflict employed at least one iconic medium tank. The US had the Sherman, the Soviets used the T-34... And Germany employed several vehicles that could fit the bill, but in the latter part of the war there was only one tank that could claim that title: the legendary Panther. Today we’re going to discuss the nuances and strategies involved in using tanks of this series in combat.

They should add the VK 36.01(H) to fill the gap between the Panzer III M and Tiger H1. It had a functional hull built and and some incomplete turrets built. Edit: I've made a mistake saying there are several functional hulls built however there's only one functional hull built so that's a mistake on my part. Also that didn't stop Gaijin adding the E-100 to the game even though it never received any turret

Couldn't agree more although I'm not sure how well its Squeeze bore gun will perform given it fires APCR. Will be cool either way. According to Hilary Doyle only one hull was ever actually drivable. It's a shame they didn't even try to fit the turret and gun to the complete hull
There are two more missing from the list, the Panther ll and Coleian. Please bring them back Gaijin, we miss them.

@@KedrChadEateryea but the over engineering caused huge transmission and engine issues and in most actual tank battles they were severely out classed especially against the sherman m4a3 e2 a tank that bounced shells from the tigers 88 and equipped with its 76mm cannon a gun that was known to pen even a panthers frontal armor it just wasn't worth the cost given the m4a3e2 was almost half the price
I love the Panther D. Yes its nearly a tank destroyer but still in 5.3 its a beast.
i just trained the crew of the VK 3002 like 5 hours ago and played 2 matches and i can say its pretty much the coolest before the Stug 3 G

Anyone remember when the Panther A had a much more powerful engine for some reason? It was so fun back then, now its just another panther.
@4T3hM4kr0n
6 ай бұрын
because it literally did have a much more powerful engine. Gaijin decided to nerf it for "reasons" because there was a limiter put on the engine to increase it's overall lifespan and prevent overheating. However this is a very stupid reason for the nerf as this was the diffrence between the Ausf A and G in warthunder. (Ausf G has the same engine as the Ausf A but with a limiter on it for the above aformentioned reasons while the Ausf A is without the limiter)
This series is so well made thank you
sooo we are just supposed to ignore the Panther 2 and Flakpanther 341, hmm strange its almost like they where removed for a dumb reason and new players cant experience these tanks dispide WT knowing everyone wants them, not to mention a lot of more fake tanks and planes exsist in game

The 90mm gun on the pershing could pen the panther's hull irl -_-
Of note that was left out was that the mantlet on the VK 3002 is also weaker than on the other panther versions. Narrator also got the "chin" armor on the panther G wrong. The "chin" upgrade wasn't to decrease the pen chance to the turret, it was to eliminate a shot trap that the previous mantlet had. (rounds had a chance to bounce downwards into the turret if they impacted the bottompart of the previous mantlets slope, so mostly wrong paired with bad phrasing)
Hey Gaijin, how about making the engine governor a researchable part for Panther A/G/F instead of just downgrading the engine as a whole?I wanna be able to use the full 700 metric horsepower of that HL 230.I'm all for moving Panther A and G to 6.0 as long as they're able to utilise the full power of their engine like Tigers.

Thing is, the govenors were factory issue to the engines, it was meant to increase the life time, reliability of the engine and decrease fuel consumption, all in all it look good on paper to have those, but it in WT it would be great for most if not all situations to have the that few more horsepower, as you don't really have to worry about either of the 3 points above, besides all of them are fine in their own BRs, Panther A isn't really fastest or the most responsive medium anyways, that and it would utterly dismantle German 5.7 lineup, something which is not really worth it in the long run
@STHV_
9 ай бұрын
The only real option for a faster Panther would require Gaijin to fix the engine in the Ausf D. Based on the very poor 3d model its a post June rebuild vehicle for the Battle of Kursk at least so it should have an ungovered 700hp HL230 P30 instead of the 650hp HL 210 P30
Any chance we can get more tanks from the VK line? There are plenty of them, and some unique ones too

Revise the volumetric mechanic or push the Panther at 6.0. Its mantlet was a reliable weakspot, but now it's almost impervious to both the US 76 mm and the soviet 85 mm.
Hey, about the new premium tornado, you need to add at least guided bombs or something. I can barely play this thing as a CAS aircraft. I think if you make it so you have to attach a laser designator pod where the drop tanks goes that it would be fine. Players would have to make a choice between more fuel or guided bombs.
My favorite way is ambushing and blitzkrieg in assault lines

Hey Gaijin. Es heißt VK 30.02: 30 Tonnen Gewicht und die zweite Ausführung.😊
6:25, i think everyones favourite tactic in a panther is W key and Mouse 1
my favorite is panther II and old coelian with 64mm pen ammo but you even not mention it once

I have it, it used to be at 5.7. It dominated at that tier as it had a better turret traverse than it's Ausf D cousin also at 5.7. Then in their infinite wisdom gaijin decided to up tier it to 6.0, where it now gets penned by everything.
i really hope the update doesnt come out till end of the month or end of next week because i can get the arkansas till monday and i want the preorder
