The Panther II features an armour upgrade package
from the Panther I (Panzerkampfwagen 46) and is the best medium tank available.
Fast, heavily armoured and with a 5cm High velocity Power Gun main armament,
with tri-barrel powergun and anti-tank missile package for defence, with
an anti buzz-bomb point defence system and a successful use of AI electronics,
this represents a good 'all rounder' in the tank design field.
Fans are ducted, armoured and hidden and the Beryllium re-enforced fabric
skirt is easy to maintain. |
