So, was never real? 🫠
What?.
A general side grade of a vehicle but its upgrades will likely provide the survivability needed for infantry mode. The whole idea would be to remove the bulk of issues that result in a death by a 1000 cuts.
+1 to a improved top of the line tank

Surely someday they will remodel the Panther II in the game to this real version

A lot of vehicles in the game fall under “Incomplete prototype”
As long as any form of production of it was being produced, it falls under this category; therefore, Gaijin can add it. Assuming they will bother.

What I said in 2019. I don’t really have those expectations seven years later.

i’d love to see the Panther 2 finally being finished with the development of it

Cool but would be a rough task as they’d be starting nearly totally scratch. Only panther F turret is in shambles as well no? (Not the same one but still).
Won’t happen, we would get the Panther II Hull with a standard Panther D turret.
Then this partial, incomplete one.
Isn’t that a G turret…?
A panther 2 hull with a panther D turret is just as fake as the old panther 2, the Schmale Blendenausführung was actually a part of the Panther 2 porject

Idk. Is it?
The G turret was put by the Americans after they captured the Panther 2 hull, not related to the original german project

True, the only panther f turret was used for target exercise (british i think). The Panther II armor and armament is pretty well documented based on the WA Prüf 6 (1.Nov 1943) (ISBN 0-9771643-2-2). The Panther II turret itself only ever existed on paper, but has a longer development than the hull. Even after the end of the PII Rheinmetall kept on designing it

It’s a post-capture modification for military purposes, this is nothing War Thunder hasn’t seen before.
I know. That doesn’t change the fact that it exists and works.
What doesn’t is a metal hull that is broken and never used.
Panther II never got its turret, and Panther F was probably a production testbed of what would become a “King Panther”
So the argument some have is whether it should even be allowed in-game. Some arguments: Naval did the same thing; many Soviet ships were never completed and are in-game, which would be a valid major arguement claim to use to support its addition. This also means tanks like the O-I are now able to be added; otherwise, Gaijin is contradicting the implementation decisions they made, although that vehicle should be in-game anyway.
OI is not able. There’s not enough information and the rule only works for ships. Tanks and planes have different requirements
