It’s meaningless when the turret used irl for testing the vehicle is a liability. Quit trying to give excuses on why it should be added immediately, cause that’s all your doing right now, is trying to claim, that people won’t know where to aim.
yeah they never finished the turret just a place holder
its not that big of a deal the panther got moved to 6.0 for a reason
They never finished the turret because they canceled it. There was no placeholder. The Panther G turret was the US Army forces acquiring it after the war and sending it back to the Aberdeen proving grounds.
panther g was installed as a place holder by the americans for testing
Yeah:
It would need a large bulge on the front of the turret to stick the gun in the turret and it have enough recoil travel.

Facepalm There was no turret, the Panther II was canceled, it wasn’t a placeholder, they just had to put a turret on top of it. Other you have a giant gaping hole. 🤦Where in the world did you get your information that states it was a placeholder?

sounds exacltly like what i just said the panther g turret is a place holder to test it
it was there to give you a ruff idea of what it would have driven like
My dude, they had a random Panther G turret, they used the Panther II Chassis the test the Panther G’s gun.
Then they tested the performance of the Panther II had it been used. This isn’t rocket science.

It wasn’t a place holder, it was just to test the thesibilty of the hull under adequate weight.

just like this its a place holder for the actual turret or dummy you could call it to
A placeholder is putting something on top that weighs around what the intended object is meant to weigh.
The Panther II never had a turret produced, at ALL. It is not a placeholder because there is no turret being produced. Get this through your head.

A place holder is different than a test weight…
That is a weight tester, a place holder is something that you DONT replace the original intended system for production run.

Cough cough.

They didn’t intend to produce the Panther II with G turrets, because the entire reasoning of the program was to make a turret to fit the 8.8cm gun…
It wasn’t a place holder, because it wasn’t intended to enter production with a G turret
