Panther with night vision?

image
I was wondering If we could have night vision for the Panthers that might have used it.
I know this will probably will be never used, ever since the update that night battles would only be 10.0 and higher. but I think it would be fun to see as an optional thing like on the TOG 2, and its machine guns and smock cannon, and like on the BMP 1, with the choice between two different rocket launchers.
so I think it would be possible to see, even though it might only be used in customs or someone bringing it to 10.0.

What do you think?

AFAIK it’s a removable module for Panther II in the game

I’m talking about the stock Panthers like the F or G

Well it certainly looks cool, but pretty useless otherwise. Well, do you have any photos of it being mounted on a panther F/G?

I could probably hunt for one if you want

When asking/reporting things like these for the game Gaijin wants proof of the specific vehicle actually having used it in real life for it to even be considered at all.

I could try
but I did read the rules before making this, I will admit that slip past me
one moment

Making a post like this on the forum can be a great start to get others involved in the discussion and to help looking for sources :)

Once you have enough information gathered then you can bug report it here (just search a bit first so that you don’t report something that is already reported and known about): (Gaijin.net // Issues)

A guide on how to report bugs can be found here: ([Navigation] Technical Knowledge Base | War Thunder Wiki)

a bug would be the suspension on the st charmond, but this isn’t about that
I found this (don’t know if its been added but I tried to find an image of this (its the G model)

I’ll try to look for one of the F that also might have had it (it might just be the G IDK I’m trying)

ok I couldn’t find one besides some sources talking about it no image though

Can’t play night battles at the Panther’s BR.
Gaijin have previously removed NV modules from some vehicles at a higher BR than Panther that formerly had NVD, and have made it policy not to add NV to any vehicles below BR 10.0

So there’s zero chance of this happening

I’m fully aware of this
but a lot of tanks of 8.0 to 9.0 also have night vision that will never be used
but yes it most likely never happen (besides maybe for historical purposes or premium) I at least wanted to try before just giving up

Those older vehicles only keep them because they had them for much longer before the policy was enacted.
Like I said, since Update 2.35.1.62 they removed NVD from a few newer vehicles like the Fox, and stated they will not add NVD modifications to vehicles that can’t participate in Night Battles

Fox – the NVD modification has been removed. In future, NVD modifications will no longer be added on vehicles with a low Battle Rating.

There’s no way they’re going to put it on a 6.0 tank

yea it sucks. I was there when it happened
but it still can happen because some tanks do bend some rules like how (apparently) were was going to be no artillery tanks. but look where we are now

aren’t it was something like BR 9.3?

According to this, it’s 10.0

In a tank’s modification window that is Battle Rating of 10.0 and higher, NVD/Thermal vision devices have a “Night battles” button that can be clicked on to open the night battles window;

I remember being in support of this because in my head it could be at any br as long as you turned it on
I was hopping that I was going to be able to experience my first night battle
but that dream has been crushed, I’m no where near 10.0

it’s talking only about night battles, not about NVD. Vehicles with NVD and 10+ would have option for night battles in modification

anyway all vehicles who have NVD have it in stock, only Thermal reaserchable
