How i would like to see the panther.

Anti infantry made like the OLD PIV before it got the scatter buff.

Price cost to 155 fuel.

Why do you want the heaviest 'medium' tank of the war to be a glass cannon?

It's exactly what it says on the tin. Thick front, no rear, long range.

It's already a strong tank if you don't confuse it with an IS-2 and use it like a mong (aka 90% of panthers used in game).

Wehr needs to have same stats as OKW and it's fine.

glass cannons simply perform better. i rate the puma far higher then the panther because of that.

It's not really about your status as a glass cannon that makes units like the puma good. It's all about your range, maneuverability and your use of good micro.

Panther is the fastest medium tank. It's harder to do than with a puma, but just like a puma you can kite smaller tanks all day. Difference is that the panther won't instantly evaporate if it ends up in range for return fire.

Every strength the Puma has the Panther also has. You pay the extra to remove the chance of it exploding to a stiff breeze, much higher pen and more damage per shot.

I really don't see where all this panther hate comes from. You have to respect the tank, because it always takes a coordinated effort from infantry and ATG/Tanks to kill one.
