@@_antwonTT6 Love WT as diving off a cliff to land on an opposing AFV below appears to be an expected tactic. Don't play WT anymore. Good to know the fall did injure some crew. IMHO your pointing out 90+ AFV currently can kill a King Tiger, usually from the front, in the game much less how many can easily take out a Panther confirms my opinion the Ranking is way off. When your Panther D made in 1943 with only Pak 39 shells runs into a US tank built in 1948 using 1948 HEAT and APCR or a post war French vehicle with the French 75mm designed around the German Panther's gun but with post-war ammunition or a T54 designed to be frontally immune to the 88L71 gun there is something wrong.

nice

[@Fistofbrick]

Interesting thing about the King Tigers- the P and H's turrets weren't designed by Porsche and Henschel, respectively. Krupp manufactured both the pre-production and production variants. The 'Porsche' turret was meant to be mounted on Porsche hulls, but as no Porsche designs were successfully approved, Krupp gave the curved turrets to Henschel to use on their hull design that was approved for production, and those were used until they ran out and switched to the flatter design.

[@ernestasjarmak9884]

They realized the shot trap wasn't doing any favors to them, so they redesigned the turret. The first 50 king tigers had that turret, while every other ones after had the "Henschel" variant.

[@Fistofbrick]

Yup. Meant to mention that instead of simplifying the post but I didn't want it being too long-winded. If memory serves, it was also in the interest of simplifying the manufacturing process owing to the bulge created by the commander's cupola on the 'Porsche' turret making things complicated, which also increased the amount of available ready rack stowage as a side effect of the redesign. ​ @Ernestas Jarmak

[@michabawoek6661]

It's also interesting people call it pre-production, although 50 (out of 500),so 10% had this turret. I prefer calling it 'early production'. And it was also quite hard to produce, the later turret was much simpler. Considering bombing raids on german factories, this was also important factor

[@additivent]

Kruppstahl

[@sempermilites87]

Another sad example of a beautiful design, but doesn't work in combat. Another example is the Panther's turrets. It's a sexy design, but again it also suffered a shot trap. If the war went kept going into '46 we would have been seeing more of the "pig nosed" Panthers.

Note for the Porsche Tiger: These models (which include Ferdie) have the same forward and reverse speeds.

A few people looked at me like i was weird but I didn't care. As far as I was concerned, for 10 minutes...she was mine.

[@zbyszanna]

Thank you for the video. I think you should have mentioned that Tiger II (H) is very susceptible to being one shot by anything piercing the turret from the front as there is an ammo rack that you cannot empty and so every shot that penetrates the turret almost guarantees death.

[@chrxpop]

Thanks a lot for all the amazing stuff! I started the game a few months ago after watching your beginner guide, and I'm really having a blast. I'm still derping around in arcade while learning the maps and weak spots of different tanks. Your videos + reddit have been my main sources of info about the game. I must say that many things are very different in arcade, especially the optimal lineups, as the respawn mechanics and BRs of many vehicles are not the same. But these videos will surely be even more useful on the day when I eventually feel brave enough to start playing realistic. So I really hope to see many more videos coming up in the future!

[@finnrissa4594]

This is a very peaceful channel that discusses War Thunder that I like.

[@calessel3139]

FYI - the real Panther-II wouldn't have had a Panther Ausf.G turret. The existing prototype in the US only has a G turret because the US Army mated it with the hull for ordnance testing after capturing it. The real Panther-II turret designed by the Germans would have been entirely new and unlike earlier Panther turrets or the F schmalturm. There were several proposals, but the most likely used would have had 150mm front plate with 60mm sides and rear. The shape would have been squarish with a large flat front plate, slightly sloping sides (aprox 25 degrees) and rear. The gun mantlet would have been a new design, quite small, most closely resembling the "Topfblede" gun mantlet on the Jagdpanzer-IVs. It would have also retained the 7.5cm KwK L/70 and not the 8.8cm KwK L/71. There was a proposal to equip a schmalturm with an 8.8cm KwK L71 but that was a separate project unrelated to the Panther-II. The reason we have the image of a Panther-II with an Ausf.F schmalturm and an 8.8cm KwK L71 is entirely due to plastic model companies combining separate German projects into a single tank design for marketing purposes.

Another down side of the Panther G is that the 0,3 BR increase makes the extra armor irrelevant. and the chin becomes as easy if not easier to pen then the maintlet of Panther A because it is facing better guns, which against the Panther A still had a slight chance to bounce on the upward angle of the maintet The chin on the G was specificaly designed to counter 75mm American and 76mm russian guns from shottrapping while at the same time being strong enough to take the full hit of such a shell on it,s own but facing guns having more then enough pen to go right through it makes it a huge weakspot. most of the time.

[@Justmonika6969]

Yeah IMO Gaijin should have brought the Panther G down to 5.7 if anything. The Panther A should go back up to 6.0 and the Panther D could be argued to see a reduction to 5.3 because the slow turret is crippling.

[@Skyrimfan002]

You could have mentioned that the Panther F, while technically having thicker turret armour, does not have the mantlet the A and G have, so at mid to close range enemies will have a far easier time shooting and penetrating your turret since there are no overlapping armour plates and no trolly angles. Honestly I think it's in that aspect by far the worst Panther for close range, aside from the Panther D. In that regard I'd even rather use the Panther G.

[@user-nd9jp2lj2r]

I like the A the most, it has the highest HP/ton ratio and turret rotation speed while being at a lower BR

[@bigmandan5824]

I love how German versions of American ones are, for the most part, blatantly better. The German M41 has HEATFS (fine because it is .3 higher) but it also gets SMOKE LAUNCHERS. This is really frustrating when playing the American one. Add the German M48 to the list. It is actually 0.3 LOWER than the American one, has a smokescreen. Then, there’s the German M4 Sherman, which is rare, but is almost the same as the American ones. EXCEPT FOR THE FACE THAT IT GETS A WORKING SMOKE LAUNCHER. It seems like blatant German bias, even though it’s probably just Gaijin being lazy and forgetful.

Gayjoob did a sneaky with the US bulldog, I swear that thing was 5.7 before I checked it once again as of typing this.

I still love my Command Tiger P. The reverse speed is really handy and people tend to see the turret and immediately assume it's an unangled tiger. so you very often get at least one free hit which gives you time to react. And sicne the hull armor protects the driver and transmission you can always back off quickly if they do pen the turret.

little history knowledge the panther 2 removed was a different project for the panther, the panther 2 we have in the game is from the other panther project witch si the panther 88 witch never left the drawing board, the actual panther 2 witch did have 2 prototypes here basically up armored panther Gs and the turret was also slightly smaller and the side angels where coming in some mroe so the turret was smaller overall the flak panzer 341 only the turret was wooden

lol i loved the tumbling down the mountain clip on the panther a

''It is most consistent at range'' And that is the problem with 5.3 to 6.7 germany they can pen you at ranges over 1000m but you can barely get their weakspots at close range.

I'm always look forward to this series, and I don't mind waiting. Also I hope the spotlight gets to the US line sooner.

The reason the Tiger II (P) has the Porsche designation is not because of the turret (both turrets were designed and manufactured by Krupp), but rather the suspension of the tank. Porsche suspension is associated with the pre-production turret, so Gaijin slapped that turret on a production hull with the Henschel suspension. The Tiger II (H) is the more accurate model, having the correct suspension and turret design. The (P) only designates suspension designer, although I'm not quite sure why Gaijin would give the production chassis a pre-production turret and call it Porsche, since that's very inaccurate.

Watched a Ferdinand brawl an American T34 on the beach at Normandy and win yesterday. It was awesome.

[@sephirothbahamut245]

Another advantage of the Waffeln strictly in AB and mostly at medium range, is that if you're sideways and expose only your turret the enemy will really get confused, because your nametag is offsetted from your turret, and might end up shooting at thin air

[@SlapM3SillyTTV]

cant wait for the rank 6 and 7 german tank vid deciding what tank i want to get first

[@FD_Stalker]

the real line up for hard core German RB player:(tank/Plane),priority (high)left to (low)right 5.7-(tank)-waffentrager - wirbelwind - PZIV70(V) - Panther(A) - tiger(E/H) - scoutslot(for later use) 5.7-(plane)-BF109k4 - HS129B3 - FW190F8 - Mehbomberslot(for later use) 6.3-(tank)-Jagdpanther/Ferdi - wirbelwind - Waffentrager - M41- Panther - tigerII(P) 6.3-(plane)-BF109k4 - HS129B3 - FW190F8 - Meh 6.7-(tank)-RU251 - AnyGoodAA - JPZ45 - Tiger105 /Jagdtiger /PantherII (same priority different slots) 6.7-(plane)-ME262A1/U4 - BF109K4 - HS129B3 - FW190F8 Conclusion: 88L71 used to deal with 5.7-6.7 front armor, slap t29 face, 7.7 side armor 90mm HEATFS shell is unreliable, but is necessary to disable/kill T95 frontly, bully most 7.7 tank M41 73mm HEATFS is meh, swap with RU251 300pen if you can HS129B3 still kill faster than jet bomber in 7.7, IF AIR IS CLEAR Do not trust mini map dots in 6.7 above, it could be ME262A1/U4, always check scoreboard before spawning

[@theslavicpig8331]

ohhh thank you so much oxy, I just got started on tier 4! (edit) think you can make a review for tier 4 german aircraft??

[@catbear3294]

Aircraft will come after tanks i think

[@asiftalpur3758]

@@catbear3294 no, dedicated aircraft won't be coming anytime soon. Here's what you need for Germany in props. 109G2 100K4 190D9 Ta 152H1(learn this bird before taking it out) The rest Cas centric aircraft are mentioned by oxy in his lineup part of the video and they're perfect.

[@Illusionyary]

Bit of a correction, they said they'd make the Maus available as an event vehicle, the Tiger II 105 and Panther II will never be coming back.

[@Ropetor]

I would say that if you get a 50% discount on the Tiger 2 pack and you havent grinded germany its the better option. It will give you the experience of the german tech tree and help you grind up to tier 5 while still being a good tank

[@pennsylvaniafellow4409]

Great to see an Oxy vid on some of my favorite tanks

[@DeuxExNoir]

"-so I'm not trying to imply the G should be there as well-" And 11 months later, The Snail bellowed: *LET IT BE SO*

[@thetaomegatheta]

With regards to the Panther G segment, you can make no mistakes and still get shot in the side.

I have long awaited this.

[@jeffmitchell7071]

Great quality again - thank you Oxy!

[@brotherdubious]

Oxy, these videos are amazingly detailed. Just ordered the 1941 Merlin Engine diagram from your store. Should go nicely with the tank identification manual you sent me :)
