Kozarsson ruclips.net/video/26cSk60Aj3Y/видео.html on this video you can se how the panther reverses in low rpm range you can clearly hear that (maybe 800- 1200 or so) Now imagine he would rev up to the max 3000 It would go much faster. There is where my conclusion comes from
@@tobiaszistler This panther have not the Original engine. During the war the panther had only got the Panzer IV engine and not the one originally developed for the panther. Although it was mobile, but it had a very poor reverse gear due to the Panzer IV engine. I know that from my two grandfathers who are Panzerkommandanten during the war. one commanded a tiger on the western front and my grandfather a panther on the eastern front
Yeah when I play Germans I typically love the times that I one-shot M18's. They're not OP it's just that it's a great tank and game mechanics just makes it even better with its thin armor.
The amount of times that I've shot a Hellcat with an 88 or long 75 without it doing anything is horrifying. They can tank so much damage. It's absurd! Even taking them down with a Wirbelwind with HVAP ammo can take more than 1 burst. That's more than 80 rounds of high velocity 20mm before they finally die. I hate no vehicle more than the M18 (and its "Super" variant to some extent).
The t29-30's give me conniptions. I have hit the weird curve on the back of the turret because they decide to turn at perfect times and it triggers me.
Aku Exactly, this is the whole problem about war thunder. German ww2 tanks face post-war american, russian, british etc. tanks which often were build with German technology after the war. It’s just not fair. They should split battles between ww2 and Cold War!
Jacob Seed no if you would split between ww2 and Cold War the IS3 would actually the best tank at 7.3. The Germans would get their Tiger IIs, Jagdtiger and Panthers at maximum 6.7 or 7.0. the American could still use their M26 Pershings etc.
I know how you feel my friend, I was the same back then. I'm playing WT since 2014, so now I have some hours on it. My big goal back then was the Tiger 1! And I actually have it since some months :D
@@joshuatumambo5674 Every game bro. Literally went an entire week without a single proper br or down tier in the panther A. 6.7s all day baby you got to get used to going up against Korea/cold war tanks designed to defeat you in every way. I remember I had 3 proper Br/down tiers after that week and got revenge killed by CAS after 2 kills. I'm not sure if it's just me with shitty matchmaking but damn it sucked.
@@Jakezillagfw The Panther A's speed is the only thing you have useful. Just flank around the map, shoot the sides and gtfo. If its a city map, ambushes are great, just aim for weakspots and the sides. I stopped complaining about the shitty BR system, Gaijin wont do shit anyway
You can angle your armor with Panther. On the interior icon on the left, when u aiming on the enemy, your gun barrel should be on the inner side of the tracks. Little angle but many times its bait your enemy to try shot your side, and that ll 100% not pen your side.
nah panther has absolutely horrible sides, plus you can bounce any shell except for a few high caliber ones when facing foward. angling provides no benefit in this tank because the already good frontal armor when angled isnt enough to stop rounds powerful enough to penetrate without angling. and like i said before, you expose your extremely weak side armor
@@TheEmolano Well sure but at least there are actual weakspots, when I'm playing the Cent's I have trouble dealing with Tiger IIs- wait this video is about the Panther nvm then
@@Capodecamper i agree but i still would take a couple apcr shells just in case. maybe you dont have a clear shot on the lower plate or he might be hull down
Meh, I had no issue penning the T29's lower glacis at close-medium range. Also I had a moment where i killed a T29 by shooting my coax into it's gun optic.
T29 pretty easy to take out just shoot gun view port it usually one shot or just hit mg port on hull like with every other US tank that usually one shot to
FYI: Since the volumetric shell update the overlap on the gun mantle offers far more protection. This means that the turret has gone from basically being one massive weak spot to having a (relatively small) weak spot on either side of the gun
@DestroyerTom How? Out of all the mediums that the BR it's got by far the best gun, by far the best armour and competitive mobility. If it wasn't for german teams this would be 6.0/6.3 easily
Best Panther after Panther II. There's no advantage to using any other. Good video. But worrying lack of Epic thunder. (and potentially realistic gun sights) :)
This is better than the panther II in my opinion, better gun for the tier, better armor for the tier, double turret rotation, only thing panther II is superior is mobility but is a small difference
In terms of realistic gun sights, it is really impractical for AB and RB, since gaijin already put in a universal sight for everyone to use. In SB, yes it would be great to top off the immersion with that historical gun sights and should really make it a default thing every time a player enters SB, rather than the player going through download, putting in file and going into settings just to have the full simulator experience.
panthers aren't bad. they are very good instead! please talk about the M4a3 76 w hvss please. attempt number 6 nobody ever talks about it. Edit: i don't think the M4a3 76 w hvss is a bad tank, i just asked him to do a video about it because i see him as a good youtuber and a good wt player. i just wanted his opinion on a video.
@@troopx why it bad ?, aside from a bit higher BR, I notice that it actually faster than the M4A2 version and more maneuverable, so if you play it right, it will be enjoyable flanker there, unlike the M4A2 one
I remember fighting a Panther having the high ground on me in one if my 76 Shermans. I was shooting his gun barrel to try and knock it out; it bounced off the bottom, penned the upper area of his frontal plate and hit his ammunition, knocking it out. It was as much a shock for me as I'm sure it was for them.
Yeah I managed to hold my own against I think 2 Sherman’s and an M6 in this thing, and I also just didn’t die that match. This is why I really really like this thing, and also why I think the Centurion 1 shouldn’t have been moved to 6.0. The Cent 1 and Comet are the best counters for the Panther, and why they should both be at 5.7.
for those who kinda want to know the gun mantlet turret trap was a common known weakspot of the panther durning the war it was the reason the panther G and F models where made to counter this weak spot
Your guides are always awesome but can i ask that you make map guides? knowing all about your tank amounts to very little if you don't know how to use it on maps which makes players play very campy or very aggressively. I know it's not the most fun videos but it's a very important part of the game that people hardly talk about.
6:45 It’s due to the fact that all panthers were using old transmission from Panzer IV. It was manufacturer restriction not to destroy transmission and gearbox. Only panther that meant to use new transmission was panther II but it didn’t happen
A good thing to do when you are shot at is to angle the turret to the left or to the right somehow like you would do with the Maus. It works good on Panther A bcz you also have the added tracks on the side of the turret
my friend uses a PS4 and after I played a single battle I think it's super difficult. Can you guys at least plug in mouse and a keyboard? Will the game see them, and even assign default PC hotkeys?
One of my favorite tanks for the Germans. At long range God like, close quarters okish - trash. And at 5.7 it has a serious opponent: the IS-2, which will have no problem penetrating your hull and deleting your Panther.
What I tend to do is not stay hull down at range. This encourages people to hit center of mass especially at newer people in that case, the hull is impenetrable.
While the turret is a weak spot, because of the curved face and the 100mm thickness of the plate, you can angle your turret against guns of a bore less than 100mm, receiving much greater protection than you would think. Solid shot ap shells from the 17pdr will often fail to do significant damage post pen due to the armour overmatching the shell.
I do want to say this: angle just so your barrel is hovering above the track cover on the front, this will give you optimal armor for the front without sacrificing armor on the sides
Gotta love Panther drivers who angle their tank just bit too much exposing their sides which you can then blast through with murican 76mm, sovjet 85mm/122m or 17-pounder.
I gotta add something. Being up-tiered is a pain, simply because you will go againts Sabo, and that just goes thru your frontal plate like a peace of cake and a 9mm.
The reason that the tank cannot accelerate past 39 kmph is because the tank was installed with a governor that limited the rpm because of it was to high it would often lead to engine breakdowns
Angling the turret especially with add on armor is a good idea actually. Around 30 degrees from forward is decent i think, might have to check in depth.
I would say this tank is worse at close quarters than other medium tanks at its tier. Bad reverse speed, extremely poor side armour that is also a huge area and easy to pen turret (at close range) makes me always want to stay at a comfortable distance from the enemy when i play it.
The Panther is a heavy tank, not medium. It was assigned to medium tank battalions, but was a heavy tank outweighing many a heavy tank from the allies.
When playing panther and you are in situation you get hit... Rotate the turret like you would Tiger hull. This saves me 7 times out of 10 rounds i get hit by. Basicaly the round will ricoche or will hit barrel or wont penetrate. Enemy might hit the side of the turret when u rotate and the round just bouncess of. Or agaisnt AP enemies you can rotate the turret the way you lose loader but not gunner.
How to deal with the panther from the front: Shoot the barrel and hope he has no friend so you can nail it in the side. Many m18's have died attempting this maneuver.
"This tank is bad at nothing." Decide to skip some seconds, one click into 0:51, immediately see turret crews all dead. Well it's panther what could I expect
Since the unrealistic buff for most of the american gund yes the turret armor is useless In ww2 the whole front of the panther was nearly unpenetratable
I still remember playin first time with Panther... i was against 3-4 other tanks, stuck in a shtty situation and still managed to destroy all of them one by one. My tank was more than heavily damaged but hey... German moving bunker is a thing :D
Best panther of all 4.I played with it ad was like "oh yeah,panthers are cool" then i started grinding thry panter tech tree...oh boy...what a mistake...
Indeed, its an excellent tank with deadly apfsds and stabilized gun, but since is new and everybody can get it from the event, a lot of them miserably die since they arent acostumed to paper armor vehicles playstyle
@@toki_tsu_kaze5511 im getting the hang of the tank as i've only gotten it a few days ago, i'm now getting zone captures or a kill before a die, but normally on certain maps my strategy is to just rush a road or a dead area to the enemy spawn and rack up 3-4 kills by camping it
I think is more useful and sane to camp the approach to a capture point instead of their spawn, or get to high ground to spot the enemy, or stay behind your frontline allieas to help them repair, if you are in squad with another light tank, you cam go flank together and dominate the map(did that in a normal aubl wjth a ally ru251) if you cant pen them, shoot at their gun so they cant counterattack
honestly at 5.7 the panther A is probably the scariest tank I find facing because the gun and hull armor are so good and penning the turret can be unreliable.
Awesome video! Please can you make a video speaking about the Tiger, and some tips of positioning be cause i feel confused some times, what to do and when? Should i go for other place in the map? :P Thanks for the pacience.
I have never been reliably able to pen the front turret; then again I play Brit so most of the time facing Panthers I'm either in a 4.7 with a 17 pounder or in a 6.7 which can Sabot its way through the upper plate anyway

What I tend to do is not stay hull down at range. This encourages people to hit center of mass especially at newer people in that case, the hull is impenetrable.
While the turret is a weak spot, because of the curved face and the 100mm thickness of the plate, you can angle your turret against guns of a bore less than 100mm, receiving much greater protection than you would think. Solid shot ap shells from the 17pdr will often fail to do significant damage post pen due to the armour overmatching the shell.

Hull down isn't always about hiding the hull.
You can find a way to angle the turret backwards a little bit giving you slightly more effective armor.

Hey man. I love your videos. You deserve way more subs.
Angling turret usually quite helps. Also the reload is quite nice, prefer the gun of panther over tiger in higher rinks.
smoke is super useful for this tank. Shoot, throw smoke, move into new position, shoot, repeat.
Since the update giving it a volumetric mantlet it's been an absolute beast, plus D is now 5.3. Germany is thriving in 2020
Panther D turret rotation speed is painful.
Não Sei 2.0 at long range it doesn't matter. Play it as a sniper as much as you can, it's actually not that bad. Beggest problem is the drum cupola
The reason that the tank cannot accelerate past 39 kmph is because the tank was installed with a governor that limited the rpm because of it was to high it would often lead to engine breakdowns
Excellent video man!
Angling the turret especially with add on armor is a good idea actually. Around 30 degrees from forward is decent i think, might have to check in depth.
The gun mantlet depends,
The curved one can bounce shells into its self while the one with the non curved bottom (g I think) doesn't do that
Notice that almost all panthers were gone on a scrapyard after the War. While PzIV were in use long after that
I would say this tank is worse at close quarters than other medium tanks at its tier. Bad reverse speed, extremely poor side armour that is also a huge area and easy to pen turret (at close range) makes me always want to stay at a comfortable distance from the enemy when i play it.
nks40 this is how panthers should be played.
Be sure to always put a wide and open field between you and the enemy, and all will be fine
The Panther is a heavy tank, not medium. It was assigned to medium tank battalions, but was a heavy tank outweighing many a heavy tank from the allies.
Always my personal favorite!
İf Panther had a reverse speed like 10-12 km/h it is clearly the best medium tank of WW2.
When playing panther and you are in situation you get hit... Rotate the turret like you would Tiger hull. This saves me 7 times out of 10 rounds i get hit by. Basicaly the round will ricoche or will hit barrel or wont penetrate. Enemy might hit the side of the turret when u rotate and the round just bouncess of. Or agaisnt AP enemies you can rotate the turret the way you lose loader but not gunner.
But that apcr would be useful against the t34 and t29 American heavies
2:11, thats why you use HE rounds for those type of vehicles. They work better
How to deal with the panther from the front: Shoot the barrel and hope he has no friend so you can nail it in the side. Many m18's have died attempting this maneuver.
"This tank is bad at nothing." Decide to skip some seconds, one click into 0:51, immediately see turret crews all dead.
Well it's panther what could I expect
2:18 that beautiful texture quality
Since the unrealistic buff for most of the american gund yes the turret armor is useless
In ww2 the whole front of the panther was nearly unpenetratable
I still remember playin first time with Panther... i was against 3-4 other tanks, stuck in a shtty situation and still managed to destroy all of them one by one. My tank was more than heavily damaged but hey... German moving bunker is a thing :D
Its so funny to see T 34 85 trying to pen you , god panther is a beast
I think the biggest downsight is the slowyness. I mean the Tigers feel much more agile wich is not historically right
Best panther of all 4.I played with it ad was like "oh yeah,panthers are cool" then i started grinding thry panter tech tree...oh boy...what a mistake...
The best panther is the ersatz m10 panther it has more armor and the turret moves faster.
@@joseavila2443 Yup but its not free.
I don’t really understand why peoples dislike this tank,it has much better armor and gun than both T-34/85 and and 76mm Shermans.
6:04 laughts in the t34 with a shell that have 160 grams of tnt
Everytime I play this tank I think of how overpowered it is and I love it.lso love the tiger H
I hate fighting these. Even if my shell is hitting couple or side, it will never penetrate... Is there some type of German Stalinium I don’t know of?
It's called "Germanium"
@@volant6688 kruppshteel
It's called summer 1941
4:47 I tried that on one that I couldn't pen and it worked THANKS
Finally some wehraboo stuff for my wehraboo body
It be like "wehrabooty"
do a review on the AUBL HVG please
a lot of people play the tank but die really quickly without kills
Indeed, its an excellent tank with deadly apfsds and stabilized gun, but since is new and everybody can get it from the event, a lot of them miserably die since they arent acostumed to paper armor vehicles playstyle
@@toki_tsu_kaze5511 im getting the hang of the tank as i've only gotten it a few days ago, i'm now getting zone captures or a kill before a die, but normally on certain maps my strategy is to just rush a road or a dead area to the enemy spawn and rack up 3-4 kills by camping it
J Wilt ironically the first tank I kill with it was the is-7 lol
I think is more useful and sane to camp the approach to a capture point instead of their spawn, or get to high ground to spot the enemy, or stay behind your frontline allieas to help them repair, if you are in squad with another light tank, you cam go flank together and dominate the map(did that in a normal aubl wjth a ally ru251)
if you cant pen them, shoot at their gun so they cant counterattack
Definitely to get the panther I will have to get the Panzer IV G and H
2:45
You lucky bastard
honestly at 5.7 the panther A is probably the scariest tank I find facing because the gun and hull armor are so good and penning the turret can be unreliable.
But if you find a panther A user loading full shells, you can just ammo rack from the side. Its so funny ammo racking noobie panthers
I love how almost all of the vid is him wrecking hellcats
I like the music! how is it named?
Awesome video! Please can you make a video speaking about the Tiger, and some tips of positioning be cause i feel confused some times, what to do and when? Should i go for other place in the map? :P Thanks for the pacience.
I have never been reliably able to pen the front turret; then again I play Brit so most of the time facing Panthers I'm either in a 4.7 with a 17 pounder or in a 6.7 which can Sabot its way through the upper plate anyway
Do a review on the Ferdinand
It’s so good I use it in my lineup against 6.7 and sometimes 7.3
Panther A is the best out off all for 2 reasons it has the best engine power and fastest turret rotation speed and that at 5.7
Impossible to kill jumbo through the front plate normally now after the stupid volumetric update. Only pixel-wide easy to hide mg port
Very nice editing.
