  1. damn shame it is missing schurzen

    and what about Centurion… wasn’t written somewhere that it would get new model too?

  2. I think Tiger, Panther and T-54 are too dark, at least with that camo I applied. Brits and Americans are fine IMHO.

  3. Way to butcher a great looking tank with a ugly prototype turet and ridiculous long gun . At least they could have done is make the upgraded top turet the asf H one

  4. DAT SCHMALLTURM

    Anyway, i hope they’ll revise some other stuff in german tech, I think Porsche line will be revised during remodelling, they might finally remove pseudo-maus from tier IX which is a disgraceful bastard of game balance and replace it with Maus prototypes.

      • Speculation, but it would be logical, I mean they want to do it anyway since VK45.02P has comletely overbuffed armor to fill tier IX and they got the data on various Maus prototypes. I mean it would be absurd to remodel this tank if it’s going to be replaced anyway.

  5. it’s too big, they need to decrease the height. it’s even bigger than the Panther 2

  6. Hey Silentstalker…I was in the enemy team when you took the sreenshots :)

  7. Huh, strange. My panther doesn’t look nearly that dark; a bit darker than the extremely light gray we’re used to (which I like tbh) but certainly not that super dark charcoal grey you’ve got. I mean, I do run near max graphics settings but that shouldn’t affect the lightness of the texture.

    Here’s what mine looks like ingame: http://i.imgur.com/t0aLm0F.jpg

    oh also, did they adjust the size of the Schmalturm? Looks lightly smaller now

    • It(Schmalturm) does look smaller, and the hull bigger….The hull is bigger than hull of VK3002M, Panther M10 and Panther II AFAIS. Strange….

  8. The gun on the new model looks like it would be twice the caliber it really is when viewed from a distance and dynamic LOD kicks in. Atleast the panther in the training mission has this issue, haven’t looked at one in a match yet.

  9. The lighting is fucked up. Ive seen people complain about it too while browsing the forums. It’s as if the tank models are not even affected by the map lighting. And have their own lighting settings.

    Bright map, dark looking tank. Id say the new dynamic lighting system is FUBAR atm.

    From 24.03
    - regarding lighting in WoT: in battle, generally the only source of light is the sun

    FUBAR as i said. You can either have every object affected by the sun dynamically, or set it’s lighting intensity seperately from the sun. The answer could be located in the game’s files.

  10. It looks cool – just like a Black Panther :)
    it would be awesome to add sign “Bagheera” on turret :)

    ps. second thought – “Shere Khan” on tigers would be nice too :P
