The Panther is what they needed. They didn't want Ausf H's but retooling for two completely new tanks is retarded

They re-tooled for the J, slightly

And you wouldn’t need to re-tool for many new parts

>completely redone chasis wouldn't need retooling

It shares the front plate with the *already in production* Jagdpanzer IV, and internals and suspension with the H

That was the point

The JagPan has a hole in it's plate

🤔

Yes

So when you make it

Hmm, i guess they just don't cut it then

^^^

Bingo

Tiger is gay, they should have just made panthers earlier and had an open top Panther with an 88

To be fair the panther was a reaction to the T-34

The development of the tiger was a long process

Tiger was a reaction to Matildas lol

But the W was a well thought out and economical upgrade to a pre-existing vehicle

@Inazuma the 88 as its main gun was, yeah

T34 is the best tank during ww2

I guess it wasn't worth it for some reason, or the real world benefits weren't actually as important or useful

IIRC it was cancelled because “muh panther is main tank now and we make Tiger II’s because big stronk heavy”

As much as I love KTiger chan, she was a mistake

Everyone knows the best tank is the M4A3

The KT was really uhhh

Not a sound decision

Any german tank wasnt

Now, the IV W would have been a sound choice over the KT

Also the 105 Panther is cool shit yo

Long 105 or howitzer 105 or dicker max 105?

Not the Sturmmörser Panther

There was a mid-length barrel 105 panther that was actually built and was pretty good

Y the lies

@Inazuma sauce?

Never heard of it

>literally can't find shit
Wtf I've fucking seen this nigger before I swear

I was right lmoz

Found it

Beobachtungspanzer Panther

Forward Artillery observation vehicle
