Please Give Us Back the Original Panther II, Flakpanzer 341 "Coelian," and Tiger II 10.5cm KwK

In order for this to be taken seriously you need to have historical documents proving that the tanks ever met the gaijin requirements for adding them into the game.

(I posted this before realizing that this thread is so old, my bad😅)

Unless the soviets have a photo of the entire tank I’m not believing it.

According to leaks in the WT Snail Mine Discord, the Panther II’s NVD mod should be removable in the coming update. Not that it means much, I just thought I would post for it being Panther II related.

Possible correction! I assumed it just meant the modification can be uninstalled, but that can be done already. So, could this mean the NVD device can be physically removed from the tank’s model? Interesting. I’m guessing this will lead to a lot of Panther IIs being mistaken for Panther Fs at first glance, especially by those who don’t know of its existence in-game.

And there we have it!

It’s interesting that they would change a vehicle that they don’t intend to bring back in this way. Just a tiny bit of hope for the optimist in me.

They need to add that same nvd (FG1250) to the panther G and or F. Its real and very documented.

whats the point if they cant even go into night battles with the exception of custom matches. Gaijin lower br night battles when

Personally i just love the look. The esthetic of it. The ASU-85 has nvg spotlights and it cant get night battles.

Not mine, but I thought I’d pop this in here. It might not do much, but no harm in trying.
If anyone at Gaijin is reading this, would you consider putting their re-addition to a vote like you did with the APHE changes?

Long ago I bought skins for the Panther II and 10.5cm Tiger, hoping they would come back. I really hope they do come back or I just have skins that will never be used lol.

On the bright side, for skins they’re worth a decent amount now. How much did they cost you back in the day?
Honestly not a bad investment, if the vehicles ever come back those camos will probably sell out in an instant.

I used the camo so I have it permanently, out of stubbornness/stupidity. I WILL have the Panther II. Id tell you how much it cost if I could, but ive been having the connection issues others have been having after todays update.

Fair enough, gotta respect the determination. They’re all worth a decent handful of GJC, actually. I wonder if I should pick one or two up just in case…

I think it’s interesting that 89% of the community (from a 400+ sample size, at least) voted to have the E-100 with the correct turret added in one way or another. I was expecting there to be more people against a relatively paper-ish vehicle being added given how vocal that part of the community seems to be.

Again, an official poll on re-adding these three in some way would be great. Gaijin please!

Can I ask where you heard that and who the CC was? It would be great if true, but I would be very surprised if a content creator had more insider info than Stona or Smin.

If you look further down Stona very clearly debunked that.

Gaijin never will (and shouldn’t) bring these back. They weren’t real; and therefore shouldn’t be in game. At least some of the experimentals had tests done on them; these are completely false and shouldn’t be added.

Hence the latter part of my comment. I’m guessing it was merely speculation on the CC’s part.
