+1, I think the Panther 2 should be brought back as two separate tanks through adding this and a standard Panther with a krupp 88 turret

88 was never intended for P II (sadly)
as you can see in the suggestion post

Not a panther 2, i meant instead of bringing back the fake panther 2 with an 88, we can get two sepearate tanks, the panther 2 in your suggestion and a standard panther with the krupp 88 panther turret

Fake? the krupp designs for a panther turret with an 88 are real and production was issued to refit existing panthers right before the war ended

If panther F and maus is allowed then Panther ii (in its correct form) should be allowed

YES YES YES!
This vehicle absolutely has a place ingame, especially given that with its upgraded armor in almost every area, it would easily give the German tree a 6.3 Panther. Its new turret armor is a massive upgrade, the and hull roof /roof armor will help it survive CAS much more easily. The rangefinder with also be quite helpful!
As for how this should be added to the game, I suggest pulling a CV90105 and completely replacing the Panther II we already have ingame (given its somewhat fictional) and replacing it with this vehicle. It’s the best way to go about it, especially as it removed a paper tank in the process (and I suggest refunding/removing Talismans, modifications purchases, and Expert/Ace crews applied to the current Panther II if they go about it like this).

the designs are real no doubt about it, however those plans did not get to be translated into real life as the war ended before any such refits could be attempted…
unless you have info ofcourse… in that case in all ears

this definitely should be the one and only way, vehicles are removed from WT. Either modified to be correct or fully refunded and removed

The turret of the panther 2 was never made either i dont get your point? and the panther 88 turret would just be a slightly altered schmalturm (that did exist), so its not that crazy of an idea to suggest adding it

i personally would want that ofcourse, dont get me wrong. its just that, in the process of these suggestions, ive come to understand that there are certain standards that a suggestion has to meet to be acceptable. A Panther (1) turret incorporating an 88mm is by itself, not a vehicle obviously, and was never made. if it was made, yet never attached, yes i could make a suggestion for it, but as it stands currently, it was never made and was only a proposed refit.
The P II’s turret was never made, yes, but the hull was, and as a vehicle, it can still be suggested as the Schmale Blendenausführung was specific to the P II
while the 88mm schmalturm is not specific
although, just in case im assuming falsely here, may i ask @WreckingAres283 for a second opinion?

For unfinished vehicles, the rules are clear: there must have been unique parts made for a prototype or similar for it to be proposed. An 8.8cm as found on the Tiger I and Tiger II is an off-the-shelf part and therefore does not count as unique, as example.
If anything (if I understand correctly in this case) there must be a unique turret, hull or gun built specifically for this proposed Panther variant + of course sources and ideally pictures to provide the necessary evidence.

@simsimkek
seems 88mm is a no go, however, i have reason to believe i can suggest a Gas Turbine Panther…
imagine that eh? hehe
