Why does the Panther D suck so much?

[Edopardo]

Usually is nothing more but a huge slow target, huge target with a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ cannon, crappy damage and fire rate. it's not a panther it's a kitten

[Nevu]

Except it doesn't ;) There's a reason why everyone was pissed about it going to 5.3. It has great armor at its BR for a medium tank, with the turret being a weakspot. Cannon itself is pretty alright with decent penetration and post pen, so I have no idea what you're talking about.

It's a 6.0 gun on a 5.3 tank. If that is not enough for you, nothing will be.

Well I play it on arcade and it's 5.7

what??

the only bad thing about the Panther D is the turret traverse...

The tank in itself is as mobile as a T-34
has the best gun in the game for 5.3 BR imho
has a pretty strong turret (only the very center of the mantlet, the very small sides of it and the cuppola are weakspots... like it is on pretty much every tank at this BR) and its front plate is immune to most shells except maybe the british APDS
the fire rate is better than the russian 85, and obviously 122. And while they have to aim for weak spots even at close range to pen you, you can pretty much one shot them everytime shooting UFP or turret cheek
The fire rate is also better than the German 88, while having more pen and still having enough filler to one shot, or badly cripple any tank.

stay at long range and this tank is fire.

If you think that tank is "bad", I guess this is a learn-to-play issue

[Slyke]

@MJ-Nether Well, didn't you hear? There's at least two of them complaining. That means it's definitely tank's fault.

[OcGuy]

This thing has hyper epic gun, stupidly stronk frontal and very mobile.
And yet its already brought down to 5.3 in favor for German main complaining about it being bad at previous BR. What else you want this thing to be?
This cat being on 5.3 RB was more than enough.
As for arcade, kek, real chads play RB

[Chadicus Gigantius]

my trick for both panther and tiger is just stay at over 0.9 kilometers preferably always 1 unless you have a city map then no idea

It's not mobile, has a good forward speed but that doesn't mean it's mobile. reverse speed suck, turret speed suck, it's awkward and huge, easy to encircle and sniping isn't easy because the optics sucks as well. the only good thing is the hull armor, just everything else is crap.

[Lancier Rouge]

Only problem It has is slow turret traverse and weak(ish) turret armour, In exchange you get one of the fastest tanks in its tier with a pretty powerfull gun, not the best, but better than comparable tanks in its tier.

Come one guys, you see that he'll never change his view of the Panther. Let him stay this way, I don't want to face more Panthers.
