Germany's Light Tank Panther || VK 3002 (M) in War Thunder

The VK 3002 (M) is a medium tank prototype created for the German Wehrmacht during World War II by the Maschinenfabrik Augsburg-Nürnberg (MAN) in response to a proposal by the Ministry of Armaments and War Production for a 30-ton tank to be used by the German Army in 1941. Daimler-Benz also created its project, known as the VK 3002 (DB), as a competitive prototype. Germany expected to face a weaker opponent when it attacked the Soviet Union in June 1941. The Wehrmacht was taken by surprise by the T-34's sloping armour and the heavily armoured KV-1. German Generaloberst Heinz Guderian first proposed that a direct replica would be the most efficient way to combat the T-34. The Army Weapons Department rejected this due to difficulty in creating sufficient quantities of diesel engines and steel alloy. The Daimler-Benz VK 3002 (DB) was first ordered into production with an initial goal of 200 tanks, mainly due to Hitler's preference for the design. The Waffenprufamt 6 committee, on the other hand, preferred the more traditional (in terms of German design and engineering) MAN VK 3002 (M) and placed orders for it in May 1942, before secretly cancelling the VK 3002 (DB) order. While the VK 3002 (DB) could have been less expensive and easier to construct, the Waffenprufamt 6 committee preferred the MAN VK 3002 (M)'s roomier turret and more cutting-edge suspension. The MAN VK 3002 (M) also used the same engine as the Tiger I heavy tank, making production and maintenance easier. It also had larger tracks, which would aid in ground pressure on soft terrain. The VK 3002 (M) was built but never saw combat.

I very much so want its competitor the VK 3002 (DB) in the game, one prototype was built so it can technicly be in the game.
Good thing about would be is the trolly turret and its UFP 80mm thick angled in 60 degrees (same as the T-34's)

The only good at this tank was PzGr. 39/42. The most Scary Things in Tiger 2's and Panther's Main Cannon

This tank is no good, except for Nukenus

[@schonkat1982]

Seems to me, you can give them any tank and they will perform, 😂

[@agent304]

This tank is awesome.

[@gordonfr333man]

Sounds like a skill issue. The panther sport is the best medium at it's br. Faster than a M18, gun is better than the 88mm, enough armour to bounce many shots.
