The MG port on Panthers is also a weakspot, one I myself have exploited using the Jumbo 75. It’s currently modeled as part of the UFP so it’s just 80 mm thick, and there are no additional plates to add volumetric bs.
Doesn’t work on the Jagdpanthers since they got remodelled though.
Except for the main gun, along with every other weakness like the MG port.
Try to hit the Jumbo’s MG port while it is wiggling about and covered head to toe in bushes before your main gun gets shot, not happening. The Jumbo will always fire first due to a stabiliser and as long as the jumbo player is sufficiently skilled that will always be a disabling shot. Unless you think that the average Panther player can hit the MG port of a moving jumbo while it’s moving itself.
It’s only the Panther F that has better protection due to not having a muzzle brake. But you cannot argue that the Panther A deserves to be 5.7.
Yes im putting more faith into the Jumbo player than i should because i know playing a german tank lowers ones proficiency. I feel it every time i bring my Panther or Tiger 2 H out.
