Best gun on Panther. Started by riverratgrizz , Nov 22 AM. Page 1 of 2 1 2 Next. The 7. Certified Batignolles Chatillon 25t addict. Why is that? The Panther is a German tier 7 medium tank. This famous tank was produced from January through April , with a total of 5, vehicles built plus eight vehicles built on the F series chassis.
Upon reaching the Panther, you will quickly find that the inherited sniper playstyle still applies. At stock, the Panther is armed with the 7.
Its lack of firepower, added to the weak hull sides, make this tank an easy victim in firefights. Once the Panther is fully upgraded and sporting the long, accurate 7. While it has a low damage totals, and a fairly slow rate of fire for a 75mm gun, it can penetrate virtually all lower tier tanks from any range, as well as higher tier opponents with well aimed shots.
The Panther shines as an excellent mobile-sniper, but as top tier can contribute on the front lines as well. The Panther leads to the Panther II. The Panther is a basically the VK One thing that changes from the stock panther turret is the shot trap on the VK Coupled with its speed and highly accurate guns it turns into a very deadly sniper. Take on your foes from a distance in the Panther as the more maneuverable American and Soviet mediums are better suited to dog-fighting.
Lower tiers will have trouble penetrating the front of the Panther due to its excellent sloping, and rather large gun mantlet for both turrets , however it should avoid taking hits from more powerful guns as it is more prone than usual to taking critical hits, especially engine and ammo rack.
Its armor, while fairly thin, is surprisingly strong against tier V and some tier VI guns, so, if necessary, angle the tank just slightly off to one side, and bounce many hits. Still, do not rely on the armor, as 85mm is still not enough to reliably stop any or more pen gun regardless of angling, nor is the lower glasis anywhere near the levels of the upper section. Hulldown with the 2nd turret is extremely effective with the 8.
Mobility post 8. Take note that with the 8. The things one should avoid while playing any panther specifically this tank but also applies to the VK There is one brawling tactic that may work but is again risky and should only be done in self defense; facehugging an enemy can be successful due to the angles increasing and the enemy being denied any good shots at the lower glasis plate.
Just be advised what the opponent is and most of all make sure every single of your rounds connects or the great 8. The recommended way to use this tank is, like its predecessor, is to hang back and take a supporting position. Unlike the VK While the alpha damage per shot is not particularly threatening, the rate of fire and the accuracy of this gun lets the Panther deal a steady stream of damage to its victims.
More often than not the Panther's victims fail to realize it was this tank that chipped-off most of their HP until it is too late. According to many people it is one of the best, if not the best tier VII sniper tank in the entire game, due to the very high penetration capable of going through many tier IX tanks without APCR , very good accuracy, good DPM 8.
Also as an added benefit this is one tank that perhaps never needs to have a single APCR round loaded at all, due to mm of penetration being overkill on anything that is not a tier VIII heavy or a tier IX tank.
The only real downside to this gun is it has trouble knocking off tracks at any angle other than sideways; but with that said it is a minor inconvenience compared to everything else it is does well. Next, research the suspension, the engine with the L will leave no room for modules and equipment, so it is a must after getting the gun. The second turret can be saved for last; its benefits are a slight increase in view range, increased armor, and a boost to gun depression. The engine is carried over from VK It served from mid to the end of the European war in While never replacing the latter, it served alongside it as well as the heavier Tiger tanks until the end of the war.
The Panther's excellent combination of firepower, mobility, and protection served as a benchmark for other nations' late-war and immediate post-war tank designs, and it is frequently regarded as one of the best tank designs of World War II. The Panther tank was a compromise of various requirements.
While sharing essentially the same engine as the Tiger I tank, it had better frontal armor, better gun penetration, was lighter overall and thus faster, and could handle rough terrain better than the Tiger. The trade-off was weaker side armor. The Panther proved to be deadly in open country and shooting from long range, but vulnerable to close-quarters combat.
Also, the 75 mm gun fired a slightly-smaller shell than the Tiger's 88 mm gun, providing less high-explosive firepower against infantry, though it was still quite effective. The Panther was also far cheaper to produce than the Tiger tanks, and only slightly more expensive than the Panzer IV, as its design came to fruition at the same time that the Reich Ministry of Armament and War Production was making great efforts to increase war production.
Key elements of the Panther design, such as its armor, transmission and final drive, were compromises made specifically to improve production rates and address Germany's war shortages, whereas other elements such as its highly compact engine and its complex suspension system remained with their elegant but complicated engineering. The result was that Panther tank production was far higher than what was possible for the Tiger tanks, but not much higher than what had been accomplished with the Panzer IV.
At the same time, the simplified final drive became the single major cause of breakdowns of the Panther tank, and was a problem that was never corrected.
Rushed into combat at the Battle of Kursk before its teething problems were corrected, the Panther tank would thereafter only be fighting outnumbered in Germany's steady retreat against the Allies for the remainder of World War II. Its success as a battlefield weapon was thus hampered by Germany's generally declining position in the war, with the loss of airpower protection by the Luftwaffe, the loss of fuel and training space, and the declining quality of tank crews.
Nevertheless, the Panther tank demanded respect from the Allies, and its combat capabilities led directly to the introduction of heavier Allied tanks such as the Soviet IS-2 and the American M26 Pershing into the war. Among the features of the Soviet tank considered most significant were the sloping armor, which gave much improved shot deflection and also increased the effective armor thickness against penetration, the wide track, which improved mobility over soft ground, and the The DB design was a direct homage to the T It resembled the T hull and turret form.
DB's design used a leaf spring suspension whereas the T used coil springs. The DB turret was smaller than that of the MAN design and had a smaller turret ring, which was the result of the narrower hull required by the leaf spring suspension which lay outside of hull.
The main advantages of the leaf springs over a torsion bar suspension were a lower hull silhouette and a simpler shock damping design. Like the T, the DB design had a rear drive sprocket. Unlike the T, the DB design had a three-man turret crew: commander, gunner, and loader. Plans to reduce the turret crew to two men to stem this problem were eventually dropped. The MAN design embodied more conventional German thinking with the transmission and drive sprocket in the front and a turret placed centrally on the hull.
It had a gasoline engine and eight torsion-bar suspension axles per side. Because of the torsion bar suspension and the drive shaft running under the turret basket, the MAN Panther was higher and had a wider hull than the DB design. The slightly earlier, Henschel designed Tiger I heavy tank's use of a "slack-track" Christie-style pattern of large road wheels with no return rollers for the upper run of track, and with the main road wheels being overlapping and interleaved in layout, were design concepts broadly repeated with the MAN design for the Panther.
The two designs were reviewed over a period from January through March However, at the final submission, MAN improved their design, having learned from the DB proposal, and a review by a special commission appointed by Hitler in May ended up selecting the MAN design. Hitler approved this decision after reviewing it overnight. One of the principal reasons given for this decision was that the MAN design used an existing turret designed by Rheinmetall-Borsig, while the DB design would have required a brand new turret to be designed and produced, substantially delaying the commencement of production.
The MAN design also had better fording ability, easier gun servicing and higher mobility due to better suspension, wider tracks, and a bigger fuel tank. A mild steel prototype was produced by September and, after testing at Kummersdorf, was officially accepted. It was put into immediate production. The start of production was delayed, however, mainly because there were too few specialized machine tools needed for the machining of the hull. Finished tanks were produced in December and suffered from reliability problems as a result of this haste.
The initial production target was tanks per month at MAN. This was increased to per month in January Despite determined efforts, this figure was never reached due to disruption by Allied bombing, manufacturing bottlenecks, and other difficulties.
Production in averaged per month. In , it averaged a month 3, having been built that year , peaking with in July and ending around the end of March , with at least 6, built in total. Front-line combat strength peaked on 1 September at 2, tanks, but that same month a record number of tanks were reported lost.
Allied bombing was first directed at the common choke-point for both Panther and Tiger production, the Maybach engine plant. A second plant had already been planned, the Auto-Union plant at Siegmar, and this came online in May MNH was not attacked until 14 and 28 March In addition to interfering with tank production goals, the bombing forced a steep drop in the production of spare parts.
Spare parts as a percentage of tank production dropped from 25—30 percent in , to 8 percent in the fall of This only compounded the problems with reliability and numbers of operational Panthers, as tanks in the field had to be cannibalized for parts. One source has cited the cost of a Panther tank as , Reichmarks RM. These figures did not include the cost of the armament and radio. However, these cost figures should be understood in the context of the time period in which the various AFVs were first designed, as the Germans increasingly strove for designs and production methods that would allow for higher production rates, and thus steadily reduced the cost of their AFVs.
Percentage of vote: 0. Its been a while since I posted here. As a few of you might remember, I am currently and slowly grinding towards the E Which means, I have to go through the Panther, which I have come to love. As per Bushka, the L is the best gun for the Panther. Also, with the arrival of the Edelweiss, Sp1C, LLTB, Dracula and Helsing, a nice little shot that can make them feel pain is also enough to make them lose their rhythm for a few vital seconds - enough for me to ram them.
I have yet to master the skill but it's helping a lot. I reckon that fighting from close to mid-range and sidescrapping are important skills to have in an E If not, I can flank like any half-decent med tank driver should. If I am to be any use to my team, I have to be closer to the action, where the L56's accuracy issue is less prevalent. However, I feel that I am missing something; while I have a more consistent success with the L56, all of my Panther Masteries were made with the L So as stated in the poll question, which Panther gun is the most relevant in the current meta of Blitz?
Any thoughts, suggestions or opinions on the matter are welcome in the interest of improving myself. Anger and emotion are strategically counterproductive. You must always stay calm and objective. C'est la vie.
