They’re actually giving it the Konisch gun while moving it to tier 5. It loose’s the Schmalturm and a bunch of speed but get’s the Konisch and L/70 at tier 5. Agruably the best guns for tier 5 in the Germans. I like how that sounds.

“Last tanks waiting for rebalance to be fun are tiger” Though 8.8 is taking out the Tigers final engine upgrade, it looses some ground resistance and it’s speed limit is faster. THEY ALSO buffed the 8.8cm L/71 so it fires a whole 2 rounds per minute faster. They also hinted that the Tigers Commander hatch’s Armour was buffed

NOTE: When patch 8.8 comes out, you’ll be able to mount the 7.5mm L/100 onto the Panthers stock turret. There goes the “Under-gunned” Guys who like the stock turret better and have to use L/70s.

>I’m a bit confused, you wrote that the VK3002M will *replace* the “unhistorical” VK3001H.
The VK 3002M is replacing the 3001H as in it is taking the VK3001H’s place in the lineup, while the ahistorical buffs the VK 3001H received in order to remain competitive at tier 6 will be removed, such as the engine. That’s what is going to happen.

Actually this would just be a tier 6 Panther, the M10 is a modification of the Base Panther (Ausf. D I believe)

No its not false, the original M26 Pershings were heavy tanks, they just re-designated it as med after WWII

That’s like saying there’s too much 75/76mm’s among so many different US and Brit tanks or 76/85mm’s among Soviets.

Or complaining how EVERY NATO rifle seems to chamber 5.56 or 7.62mm…

I didn’t read the comments, but is this essentially the Panther the way it should’ve been? 35-36 tons and mobile without the reliability issues of being massively overweight?

This actually looks interesting. I might have to get one.

the PZ V/IV in game is a very very poor tank stat wise at it’s current tier.
IF they gave it the real hull and engine it should have (this one at 60mm) they could buff it to compensate, like drop it a tier, or buff the turret and gun so it can actually aim DOWN.

you may have noticed with most other premium/promo/special tanks they try to keep the stats exactly what they were in real life, the pz v/iv flys in the face of that by a large margin with it’s current stats, and it’s looks (doesn’t look anything like the real tank)

basically what it should look like
