I doubt that the irl Pantera 2 has a 900km (HL234) engine, these engines were developed, one 900km without turbo charging and the other with a turbo 1200km, none of them was in the tank before 1945, and these engines were rejected when designing the irl pantera 2, then the Pantera The 2 88mm in War Thunder has this engine, it doesn’t mean that the irl Panther was also supposed to get it, and the 2 75mm Panther is still a Panther with a 75mm gun which is good for 5.3-5.7, 120mm armor doesn’t do anything, everyone still pierces it, and the turret is from the G version which has weak armor, why would it have 6.7 it would be stupid, because apart from the armor this Panther is no different from the regular one

Who can pen angled 120mm excluding glass cannons and early heatfs?
Playing with the Panther 2 88mm, when it was on 6.7 everything beat me from the is-2 all the way to the centurions, and on the 7.0 it’s even worse

Is 2 cannot pen angled 120mm. They pierced flat shcmalturm
This is clearly a problem with the skill of the is-2 player
I’m not even sure if the reverse is better than the regular one, but I guess it should be similar to the tiger 2, after the unification of the drivetrain
So it have normal reverse and have armor better than pershing with lolpen gun. So why it must be lower than pershing?
And who said that the m26 is on a good br, he should get a br 5.7, and so are the panthers, these BR changes are stupid
I mean. I guess this thing could be introduced similarly to how they dealt with the ‘unhistorical’ German captured P-47D with the bubble canopy by adding the ‘real’ one and keeping both in the game without having to completely re-model and change the current Panther II in-game and potentially piss off all veteran and ‘The Old Guard’ players that managed to claim it before it was removed. But to be honest, I don’t really see the point of this being added. The U.S. reconstructed actual Panther II offers very few different changes other than being a Panther G with slightly better hull armour. If people want to extend the grind and fill a potential 6.3 gap to the Leopard 1 with an unfinished failed prototype that never was technically completed by its original designers. I’m all for it. I think maybe this thing would be better off as a premium or potential Battle Pass vehicle.

M26 to 5.7 would be a horrible idea, and I am saying that with it being one of my most played vehicles.
Either way the BR placement of the M26 is off-topic for this discussion.

But better panther cant have same br as regular panther
corrected.
People seem to dispute 6.7 or 6.0. I think 6.3 is good, better than panthers (at 6.0) but worse than panther II 8.8cm kwk (at 7.0)

It’s on 7.0 now
Why should the old br come back to make the new irl Panther 2 6.0, you have to look at the fact that the 75mm on the 6.7 would be weak and the same on the 6.3, the vehicles from BP and events should be a little better than what in the normal game, because you put a lot of time and money into getting it, it should be unique,I realize that lately there is a trend in wt for every vehicle to be the same as another, but it shouldn’t be like that, there have to be machines that are at least a little different.
Long 76mm somehow useful on 6.3 long 75mm will be too.

The version in the US museum should be in the US tree. The Americans put the turret on for display. Germany never intended to mount that turret on the Panther II hull.

The amx super is in the french tree aswell while it was modified by german engineers. Panther 2 would be a similar situation. Despite putting a turret on the chassie and never fielding a tank is not a reason to put a tank in a different tree

The German military was not involved with the AMX Super.
The US military tested the Panther II with the G turret. The Japanese tested the M47 and got it in game. The Panther II G would make an interesting premium or event vehicle.

I’d rather it be in German tree, because I dont play America. But that’s personal.
