Panzerkampfwagen V Panther Updated X-Ray

I made some improvements to the X-Ray and Damage model for the Panther.

I really dont like the current one we got because it is almost entirely fictional.

Engine that doesnt look like the panthers engine same with the gearbox it is actually copy pasted from many german tanks Earliest I found is the Panzer III Ausf. B but then Panzer III J-M get a unique gearbox but still same engine model.

Eitherways here have some pictures of my current progress

Also I have added some internal steel armor similar to what they did on the new Tiger 2 model

Well the this is visual only so I only needed to change the name of the existing part to trunnion so the game would show it in the exrsy viewer with my high quality visual model

Thank you I put in alot of effort into my projects but many dont go far. This one was originally part of a whole event Tank proposal I would have called it Nightstalker or Nighthunter with this Specific panther being modeled after various Late G models with Night vision equipment.

The Engine compartment Is complete I would say if I wont add some fuel lines perhaps

I have added a power system component.

Here are the various armor protection levels, I have changed it from Modern RHA to Structual Steel but can still block spall in edge cases which is why their omition seems unreasonable.

I might change the 10mm ones to 5mm.

Also for anyone wondering this is how the tank looks from the outside, my idea was to have the tank feel like it had a history a personality of sorts thats why I added alot of like improvised fixes and addon armor.

Maybe I will add some camo bush camo of sorts like these perhaps

I will say the Panthers need an updated visual model aswell. The camos for WW2 vehicles and even modern ones in some nations need a big upgrade. I care abt that more than a 55th F-15 or Su-27 variant.

Yeah absolutely sadly I am not a skin expert so I can’t do much there for the visual model

Daim! Thar lookes absolutly awesome! I hope theyll sooner than later update the rest of Pz III and then also IV.

It looks amazing but it would probably make Panther a repair hell.

I mean only thing I really added in new modules was the Batteries and the internal Armor not much changes it’s just more visually appealing now

It does look absolutely stunning, but I think there’s a smidge too many tracks personally.
Really hope this makes it into the revenue share program!

Yeah the tracks ontop of the skirt armor may be overkill I gotta experiment with that a little bit more perhaps

here is another update.

I have added driver controls and some more structual steel on the ammo aswell as expanded the floor



Radio has also been added alongside structual steel alongside that

I addded the firewall in the engine compartment to the xray aswell as the dividers

We also have Seats for the Driver and Radio Operator 5mm Structual Steel

Aswell as new ammo stowage with a slightly more accurate layout similar to the new King Tiger
