Hmmmm bit of a myth there or mis-information

Side on even a Stuarts 37mm gun could pen a panther at 600m

The first three Tiger tanks (Tunisia 1943) and the first Panther (Italy May 1944) to be knocked out by the Western allies fell to British 6pdr guns (two Tigers to towed guns with penetration’s to turret starting at 800m – the tigers were closed down and could not see the 6 pdrs, the third fell to a Churchill – 1 round pen the drivers compartment roof, 1 round damage the gun trunnion, 1 round damage the gun balancing gear). The Panther was knocked out by a Churchill with 6 pdr in Italy

The 6 pdrs did not at the time have APDS just APC rounds – with APDS the 6 pdr could pen the Tiger frontally at 800m

The 6 pdr was due to be the main tank armament in 1940/41 with the 17pdr already on the design stage in 1940 before the Tiger or Panther were met – losses in France meant the 2 pdr was kept in production for longer than it should have been (desperation to replace losses and build up new new units)

The 2pdr with littlejohn adaptor could pen the Tiger 1 sides as well as the thinner Panthers (fitted to British Commonwealth Armoured Cars)

If this tier 4 is merely a playthrough tank you most likely will put (semi) fresh crew on it. 75% crews are so much fun :)

Anyway, i was just reacting to “free exp will be spent to skip this shit”.

don’t care how they do it as long as they do a link some where some how.
Don’t he dam lee twice already, don’t want to do it again even if it has a better gun.

Completely historical. Just a rather obscure project.
