The panther 2 in game wasn’t the I tended build and the gun wouldn’t fit in the turret, it’s too big and the recoiled would blow out the back of the turret. The same with the 105 on the king tiger, both tanks defy the laws of physics. That’s why they won’t come back.
no. The production would simply never be the same as on game, hell I am sure if they would actually asseme at least one it would be underperforming just as a lot of late war Germany tanks compared to how good it is in game.
They never even put these conponents inside of one.
Yes it was physically possible as a wooden mockup was built. It was not “semi complete” unless you consider the Panther’s chassis being the complete part.
Well paper is made out of wood. But if we are stretching “semi-complete” To include any vehicle that uses a mass produced chassis as basis that opens quite the Pandoras box. But there was probably some components made for the turret.
Those images tho are afaik just a wooden mockup.
I do wish these made-up/paper vehicles returned once a year in the halloween event to remind us of the shitshow that is creating vehicles out of thin air.
There is some amount of consistensy to the required source material. Usually this is easier for vehicles that get sold to literally anyone or are really old.
I don’t think this is ground for fantasy projects to be added to the game
Edit: there are reasons as to why i haven’t made a 90kph Leclerc bug report, and thats cuz i have not got around to finding a second source
I think what they could do is make a “legacy” battlepass every now and then instead of one with all new vehicles, that includes ones players have already had a chance to get in the past. This way people who have been grinding them all this time can take a break from BP fomo if they want and people hyped to get once-unavailable vehicles will put up the money to incentivize Gaijin to bring some of these vehicles back.
The difference is that the Turret for the Panther II that’s hidden wasn’t built hell wasn’t even designed. It also wouldn’t have had a night vision device and while it did get partially built it wasn’t finished because a German scientist realized why to build a new tank when you could just add metal skirts or metal to the sides and rear of a turret to older vehicles to deal with Anti Tank rifles.
For the Ho-Ri do consider there isn’t a lot of Publicly available information but what was sourced stated that the gun was in its testing phase, and the hull already was being produced. Which mind you wouldn’t have been difficult since it would have been a superstructure version of the Chi-Ri Medium Tank.
We do not have plans to bring back that vehicles. We have stated our reasons here: Changes and Optimization in German tech-tree.
