Panther F vs T-34-85

Why replace the Panther G with the Panther F? it’s almost impossible to Penetrate the F’s turret with the Soviet 85mm, yet the Panzerfaust can 1 shot the F through the UFP, its very un-balanced, why not keep the G? I suppose the devs want to add in unique weapons and vehicles that we haven’t really seen nor played with before, but its just strange that they’d swap the Panther G (which was balanced towards the T-34) with the F

Or make the soviets have one more tank in the game

my suggestion is, try to aim for the turret’s wide flat “triangles”:

if we would call them " cheeks ". first, to kill the gunner, shoot on ( on your ) right triangle of his turret, as the gunner is there:

than, try to advanace of few meters, angle, and shoot again. keep in mind that enemy tank crew is not trained, so it will take them 3 seconds before jumping in the gunner seat again.

you could also aim for his gun. but it’s really hard to hit those and you are not gonna disable them with 1 well placed shell, it usually requires a few shells in order to force the tank to retreat and repair his damage.

but that’s up to you.

hide until he gives you the flank. kinda like t60 gameplay against PZ III E.

but, i wish you luck. you’ll might gonna need it.

The G would be harder to penetrate than the F. The F has larger weak spots due to the cheeks being flat instead of curved.

Also, we had Panther A in the open test, no G.

Stop complain, the soviets are ever boosted in gaijin games, now the german can beat them u cry, i want more thing like this, i want to fly a me262 in berlin campagne. If the russians won the war, its not because they had better weapons, its because they sacrificed many men of they army, so by the number.

Update:

you no longer have to worry about Panthers Fs.

unluckely for our friends ( @5762269 @27425218 ) , just today the devs released a patch where it says:

  • The Panther F tank has been replaced with the Panther G.

Update 0.1.19.33

so from now on, you will have to aim for the turrett.

Oh I don’t care. I still mainly play Germany so I honestly don’t mind one of the German tanks getting a buff.
