THE MOST FEARED MEDIUM TANK OF WW2 - Panther D in War Thunder - OddBawZ

The Panther D in War Thunder is arguably the least effective of all of the Panthers in War Thunder. However, at the Battle Rating of 5.3 it means it'll face vehicles that are extremely weak to its 75mm cannon and its armour is almost impenetrable to vehicles even at its own battle rating! It's an absolute monster!
The Panther D has a 75mm cannon that can easily punch 193mm of armour meaning that no vehicle at its Battle Rating or even at 6.3 is safe from it. The armour is 80mm thick and well angled so that only the Russian 122mm and British APDS can go through. If you wiggle your turret and hull you can pretty much bounce anything that's thrown at you.

Out of the four Panthers the panther D is the best. The 5.3 BR actually allows you to play some games at 5.3 where as all the other ones will give you a 6.0 game or higher almost every time.

[@nealdolphin]

Aww thank you for the mention sir! Yup, was playing pipes at a pirate festival this weekend! Hope you pass those stones dude! I know how you feel and am kinda shocked you can't do anything besides writhe in pain. Must be the Scots blood ;)

The guy named BambisDeadMom had me on the floor laughing. I hope you kidneys get better soon❤️ that one time I had a kidneystone was the worst pain I've ever had to experience and that's coming from someone who crashed his motorcycle into a guardrail doing 100 kph lmao

[@oandreasson]

Hey man, just wanted to say I love your videos, they're the best part of the day ;) . I've personally struggled with a 4,5 cm kidney stone 2 years ago, I know the problem... :). Apparently it slowly built up under a 20 year time and have been causing me all sorts of weird health issues that are now mostly gone after they cut me open and took the stone out. I finally realized the problem when it blocked the kidney to bladder and got a massive dose of voltaren to ease the pain, but I did throw up from the pain it was causing me... They unfortunately had to blow it up before taking it out, so no chance of keeping it around as proof ;). I'd love to have it as a necklace... j/k. Anyways, take care man, it'll be alright.

[@callidusvulpes5556]

Yeah, they say kidney stones can often be worse than childbirth.

[@Drout83]

I had some at around age 23, then again at 36...so you may be in luck and get to keep one someday!

Ground RB definitely has a less forgiving damage model for aircraft than Air RB. You can lose a wing in Air RB and still land, but in Ground RB you get a hole in your wing and can barely stay in the air.

[@rexw2203]

MOAR Treats for DAS POOCH!!! Yeah Odd, I've noticed that the REALLY good CAS vehicles like the He219 seem to plow into the ground with alarming regularity for some reason. One dive the pull-out will be normal but the next you'll have almost NO elevator authority and your sortie will end with a smoking hole in the ground. It's almost like Gaijin has a way of taking you out if the other team is not responding to the threat you pose in the CAS vehicle. Involuntary "balancing" you out. I've always loved running the Panther in most any match I bring it to. Thanx Odd and get well!

I’ll be honest, I love watching your vids and they’re my favorite to watch when they’re made live but I was disappointed when watching this vid that most of the gameplay was playing a plane whereas I clicked on the vid to mainly see the Panther in action as advertised. I get in WT that once you die you have to play something else most of the time and I don’t mind seeing some plane gameplay but if you can make it so at least 60% of the vid is game play of the vehicle advertised that you say your making a vid on I would personally appreciate it from a subscriber’s point of view. Thank you again for all you do and glad you’ve been feeling better!
