the differences in pen mean the t34 is best at close range, while the panther would be best used at max range.

- Panther has 50 range. That's ten more range, 25% more range than any other medium tank. It can get the first shot off. It can kite an enemy tank around forever in theory with it's excellent speed. With good micro the Panther needs never get hit at all.
- The Panther has insane penetration. It penetrates even the "Easy Eight" 100% of the time if I am not mistaken. One is stacking the odds against the Panther in their tests by making the tanks fight point-blank. Penetration goes up at short range. Panther doesn't need bonus penetration. Other medium tanks against the Panther do. This fits with it being a long range tank.
It's a biased test as far I can tell. The controls favor tanks other than the Panther. It's just not realistic and doesn't take advantage of the unique advantages of the Panther.
edit:
I mean, who really just fights tanks in the real game like this? Point blank? Not moving at all? Not using range?
It's just... unrealistic and skewed to show the Panther as being worse than it is.

I think this test is extremely silly.
It's just not realistic and doesn't take advantage of the unique advantages of the Panther.
It's cool somebody took the time to do this but yea.

But lets be honest only a complete idiot will fight Panther without flanking if there is any possible opportunity to flank it or rush it.
So what kind of idiot leaves his Panther, ass forward at close range during an entire fight?

OKW doesn't have a big problem, but Ostheer has. Now that Soviet T4 is finally good we could bring back Ostheer T4 by giving the Panther a small cost reduction. Maybe 550 mp and 150-160 fuel or something like that.
And its range is not that special anymore. As Soviet you just get Stanlin's Organ + ZIS and you are fine.
As USA you should aready have Slugger or M10 when Panther arrives.
And yeah this test should include realistic situation with micro. This is just what happens on the paper. And on the paper a lot can happen.

If you don't stick opponents barrel into butt of your tank you are playing panther wrong.

id say kiting is your best option considering the other tanks will have the same accuracy and scatter penalties.

In theory wouldn't it be better to have the Panther sit still instead of reversing/kiting an approaching tank, because of it's extremely high scatter and the 0.5 movement accuracy penalty? The difference in damage taken would seem marginal compared to the difference in shots landed.
In theory the battle should be 1v2 in favour of the allied Tanks. The Panther would be on the backfoot trying not to get outflanked by either tank. There would more likely be German Infantry nearby (as opposed to Allied Infantry) since the Allied Tanks would be chasing the Panther back to his own lines.

The C Panther is also very good due to having spotting scopes already attached.
