Duplicate Vehicles: Why We Add Them

That’s not how unfinished prototypes work, think Yak-141 for example. Sticking a turret on it that was never intended to be used is less realistic.

The Panther G turret was only put on fpr museum display, so even of it was functional, this would be an American modification.

It is real. The hull fully works, and the turret was modified to function on it. So yeah, it definitely works and functions

Maybe next time, read, think, and don’t assume. You failed all 3 steps. You didn’t read, you assumed, and you did not think.

Cause 1: I didn’t imply nor state that the Germans directly did the modifications. I only showed the picture that it was still attached. However, I’ll humor you: while yes, US Forces did in fact do the modification, it was not a field modification; this modification was done after the war for the Aberdeen proving grounds.
To study and understand what the Panther II hull would have offered, but also see what the effectiveness of the Panther G’s turret and gun were.

It was made in the US, but tbfh it belongs in Germany as America has how many medium tanks at 6.3? They don’t need it while Germany uses the Panthers with literally no reverse gear whatsoever until 7.7

I never said it should be in the US tree… but ok?

After that picture and tone i was worried for a sec u thought Germany made the Panther II/G. Thank god that wasn’t the case

I ain’t stupid enough to believe that. Just as much as I know that the Germans didn’t invent the concept of the flying Dorito. They were the last country to build them. US has been designing concepts and then building them since 1929.

Alright, if it was functional then it can be added. Still an American modification though

That is true. We can never have true change in the game when people will sell out for the half priced BMPT and other top tier premiums.

Not enough people raise their voices about it. So Gaijin waits till the results, and why Steam doesn’t appear on WT trailers anymore as a platform it is available on.

That’s not how it works lmao it’s still incorrect as the panther 2 lmao

It would be 6.3 at max lol would do pretty much nothing considering the medium tanks really need something in the 6.7-7.3 area

Panther 2 still didn’t have a reverse gear btw

Just admit you assumed wrong and move on. I don’t know why you keep trying to make a stance that I am in the wrong when I am not. You assumed, I didn’t know, tried to correct me, and I decided to inform you that I was already aware of this for quite a long time; if I wasn’t i wouldn’t have responded.

I didn’t assume you were wrong, I just wanted to say that I was talking about a different thing from you here. I meant a completed German Panther II replacing the removed tank, something that would count as “unfinished prototype” in the German techtree. This had nothing to do with the later American modification that wasn’t part of Panther II development and because of that doesn’t invalidate the unfinished prototype (at least by suggestion guidelines).

Also please don’t assume people are against you. This is a forum about military vehicles that I write on for fun. I’m not here to argue, I’m just writing about things I’m interested in for a game I like to play, same as you and everyone else.

Maus, I’ve chatted with too many WT players on the forum, players who held pitchforks; unfortunately, that means over time I hold a Kukri on standby. When I interact with everyone on the WT forums.

Fair enough. Anyways it was nice learning the “Panther II/G” was functional, so thanks for that. o7

If Gajin theoretically introduced a tree that’s just all nations not currently a tree/subtree, do you think Gajin would try to put unique stuff or go full copy paste?

  • Majority unique (at least a little different to existing vehicles)
  • Majority copy paste
  • 100% copy paste
0 voters

Two years ago I would have guessed that the Premiums would likely be new unique vehicles domestic to that Tree

But the Leopard2a4 OtCo and F-16AM “French” premiums have disabused me of that notion
