Actual Panther II

So no more Grant, no more Ram II, no more Skink.

Historical is not of concern here, since they put Maus turret on the E100 chassis. I just suggested this to fill in the tech tree gap between the br6 panthers and the br8 leopard.

Gaijin doesnt need a full vehicle to implement a vehicle, they just need a part (hull or turret) of the prototype to be built and confirmed.

This can fill the gap and be put at 6.3, while the actual Panther II can be placed at 6.7, which is a good for line ups.

Compared to Panther II it’s at least based on something.

Isnt the panther 2 with the G turret plopped on based on panther 2? Not quite getting what youre meaning…

this is the only panther ii chassis


the americans put a panther G turret on it and stole it. took it to america and put it in a museum

In-game Panther II is based on roughly 4 separate projects:

  • Panther II: Historical, it is the Panther II after all.
  • Panther 88: Not historical, and was proposed after Panther II was cancelled.
  • NVD: Not historical, and was built after Panther II was cancelled. In-game they should be options for Panther G and F.
  • Schmalturm: Not historical, and was built after Panther II was cancelled. The Panther II had 2 proposed turrets that pre-dated Schmalturm.

or better yet, do you know of blueprints of them?


Early turret.

Late turret.

Both have 75mm guns, late turret has rangefinders.

Yeah my point is that it exist fully built, though not operational (a few tanks in wt weren’t operational irl) it can be implemented into good effect by filling up the tt gap.

Seems like it will reduce the gun depression by a lot judging by the blueprints

The one with the G turret could be a US premium. Lol.

Agree bro, the smallturm and the original panther ii turrets are quite ugly. I prefer the main production panther turrets.

does anyone wanna research into a gas turbined panther?

The Panther II that we currently have should stay and return to all players (maybe like the Maus), because for Gaijin it should be the cheapest and quickest option I believe.

The Actual Panther II could be introduced as a new vehicle to remedy the situation and allow for individual player choice.

Maybe the same could be done for other vehicles like the E100 and Ostwind II for example.

Sadly no. I’ve seen mentions of other types of engine programs for Panther but I haven’t seen any being done.

I’m fine with that provided they rename it to something like Panther II (Gaijin). To make it clear it’s fake.

Fine with me also, or some other kind of “Tag”.

That’s an interesting read. So at least 2 faster Panther G’s from what I read.
