Endlich schnurrt die Katze wieder 😊 Wunderschöne Deutsche Ingenieurs Kunst 👍💪

Die alten Katzen schnurren zu hören ist doch immer wieder schön!

That guy in the Bow gunners hatch is having the time of his life.

[@shuhratkessikbayev8886]

Can't blame him either I'd be as happy as a kid on Christmas if I had an opportunity to ride in a tank let alone a WWII era one

[@QIKRX4]

@@shuhratkessikbayev8886 At $2500 for the ride you would want to smile!

[@spinnetti]

I would be too!

@@QIKRX4 I'd be smiling but my wallet would be praying I fell in front of the tank track

[@colinm2056]

Big time!, even the guy in the hi-vis vest hanging out the rear hatch a bit like the cousin you don't like to talk about but he's family so he has to come along anyway.

[@lyndoncmp5751]

Love the way it spins on a sixpence. Sherman crews were frustrated by that.

[@MXB2001]

Haha. "Quick we got a side shot, load some AP! Loaded, sir! Never mind... it's too late..." :- )

Nice to see the Great Grandpa of the Leopard II running.

Lovely tank

[@leopoldthedigger7062]

Glad to see the panther runny after last years hiccup

[@mulligan64]

It is. Plus the twins from combat dealers are driving it, so they came all the way from England to drive it. No Bruce Compton tho.

[@appsstore11]

What happened last year?

[@leopoldthedigger7062]

@@appsstore11 she broke down and couldn’t be run for the event from what I remember

[@mulligan64]

@@appsstore11 I didn’t go last year because of Covid, but the event was still on. Jasen Bellgrove drove the panther but was having problems with it, so this year they had the twins from Combat and dealers. Drive the panther tank, and was really smooth.

[@appsstore11]

Ahh ok guys cheers

[@scottmccloud9029]

Awesome!!

[@angry_zergling]

0:17 Weren't the Panthers capable of neutral steering? Errr...I might not be using the correct term, but while stationary rotating in place by moving one track forward and one backwards as opposed to just locking one in place to rotate in place?

[@lewisgann280]

They were but there’s nothing saying the notoriously finicky transmission would allow them to do so. They may not be using neutral steering to go easy on the final drive.

[@baronebianco]

amazing tank

[@JuergenGDB]

If Hollywood wanted to ever do some remakes... now would be a good time. Actors I am still on the fence maybe, but these beasties only need to show up.

Yes it is.

Now try finding some IR equiptment to go with it...

[@MXB2001]

That was the Panther II IIRC not this model. In case you meant something else look it up. The Panther II was a planned nightfighting model.

[@gunnarloos6895]

Ist es vorgesehen, daß der Jagdpanther und das Stug 3 auch irgendwann selbst fahren, oder sind dies nur Standmodelle? Ich weiß es ist ein unheimlicher Aufwand, und von den Kosten ganz zu schweigen , aber träumen wird man ja wohl noch dürfen.

[@Quax4u]

Ich glaube "vorgesehen" ist die falsche Umschreibung. Wenn AusArmor die Teile zusammenbekommen würden, wären sie schon dran. Aber generell haben sie schon daran gedacht und bei der Restaurierung entsprechend vorgesorgt.

[@DilophoMS]

Einen fahrenden Jagdpanther kann man doch auch bei uns in Trier sehen. Und ein fahrendes Stug z. B. jedes Jahr in Overloon.

[@gunnarloos6895]

Ich bin ziemlich im Bilde,wo und in welchem Museum deutsche Panzer stehen und welche davon fahrbereit sind.Mir ging es nur darum, wenn man sieht mit welchem Aufwand die Australier ihre Sammlung aufbauen, muss ja auch einiges an Kapital dahinter stecken,und wie gesagt die Hoffnung stirbt zuletzt.

[@Chiller01]

If I were a WW2 tanker I’d want to be in a captured German Panther as part of an American tank company.

[@jakoverslept3096]

Hell no my man. That's how you get shot in the back or bombed by friendly fire.

To in order ride the panther. U can buy a ticket, win a raffle and lastly open door raffle. So only 3 people can ride the panther. It was $2500 Aus to buy the ticket

Thank god they couldn't figure out the final drive or the transmission because this thing is intimidating as shit.
