Whats the diff between the OKW panther and OH panther? A slight accuracy buff at one range? doesn't seem that noticeable does it? Correct me if I'm wrong.
The percentage difference look small but it impacts more than one might think at first glance. approx 100% increase in acc at long range while moving, 50% increase in acc at short while moving, 50% increase in acc at long while still. little to no difference at close range not moving as both will always hit at point blank.
Significantly increased accuracy at range, somewhat improved accuracy close, much much better at hitting targets on the move.
For example, here are a couple calculations.
Moving Wehr Panther vs T34, max range: 0.025 X 22 X 0.5 = 27.5% chance to hit. Not impressive.
Moving OKW Panther vs T34, max range: 0.035 * 22 * 0.65 = 50.5% chance to hit, much better.
Moving Wehr Panther vs T34, point blank: 0.05 * 22 X 0.5 = 55%
Moving OKW Panther vs T34, point blank: 0.055 * 22 X 0.65 = 78.6%. Again, much better.
Basically you can actually chase and kill stuff at max range, and you won't get nearly as many annoying point blank misses where the panther is prodding the t34 with it's gun and the shot flies into the ground. You can also kite stuff like IS2s without shots flying wildly everywhere more often than not.
Wehr panther vs T34, max range 55%
OKW panther vs T34, max range 77%
Similar applies when both tanks aren't moving. You can count on the OKW panther, but the wehr panther is a coinflip.
