Tiger could actually benefit from it. I’d be more concerned about Panthers.

“Basically we’re going to be looking at a line of less accelerating cats which might be torture for those used to the high mobility of the past.”
Yay! The most ridiculous super turbo duper racing tanks of the game – Tigers and Panthers – will finally have their engines nerfed!
Sarcasm mode off.
Seriously, if WG is going to give Panthers and Tigers their historical engines, then every single tank in game should be treated similarly – for example IS-2 had only 520 HP engine, not 700 HP one, T-34-85 – 500 HP one, identical to T-34-76, T-44 – 520 HP one, T-54 – 581 HP…

Historical accuracy?

A couple T-34-85′s were tested with 100mm caliber cannons IRL, but WG decided not to do it on WoT becauuuuuse… Historical accuracy. ;D

Since then FFS more top speed by sactifying acceleration is considered as BUFF?? 95% of time acceleration is more useful than top speed in game. Personaly i didnt enjoy playing jagtiger until i researched last engine. And i dont care if it will be able to go 3-5 km/h faster than now.

They don’t need to change any stats aside more gun depression. The chin was only added onto the old mantlet to avoid incoming shells bouncing from the mantlets lower half into the upper tank armor. I started a quick search in my Spielberger and Jentz books and only found that the chin mantlet was rare even on Ausf. G Panthers – a report of reduction of gun depression I have not found.

But what I found that a certain aiming device reduced the gun elevation to -8° to +18° compared to the original -8° to +20° somewhere in Ausf. A. Still never any word of the fantasy values WarGaming uses on Panther I&II.

Lowe could get a gun depression buff, the engine is not going to change as it is historical.

~80 km/h was the official top speed.
