I've heard that the Panther has a hitbox where 80% of the model is considered the front Armour and 20% is rear as opposed to the 50/50 standard on other tanks. Can someone confirm this through game files or something. I know everyone's heard it but i'm curious if it's really true.

Side armor needs to be implemented, even if that'd be a major buff to Heavies..

"Cruzz
Right.

It's just a 50:50 split for every single unit in the game. Never has been any different since the original CoH1 release." (page 31)

think you got it wrong...Think elephant simply has a smaller hitbox than what you see...

It really help if people check their fact before posting...

So... You think it has a smaller hitbox? Compaired to Cruzz who dives into the code and finds hard facts about them?

You know, It would really help if some people could check there facts before posting.

If there was actually deflection damage on the bigger allied guns, the Panther armor wouldn't be such a problem.

See the difference between opinion and fact you even put it on bold? Did I compare me with Cruzz? and my post was an reply to inaccurate statement...

Thank you for thoughtful insight into tactics. I´ve tried it on my own now! And it works EVERYTIME! Who would have thought that flanking a Panther with a Jackson or a Sherman or a T-34 or a SU-85 or an ISU-152 or an IS-2 or a Cromwell or a Comet or a Churchill is so easy!

Actually t-34 doesn't have 100% to pen
And yes I tried,use m10 horde or Jackson + 2-3 Sherman and you will not lose any tank vs 1 Panther
And Cromwell and comet are Ferrari in disguise

Hey kiddo. He's being sarcastic.
What he really means is... have you tried flanking a panther? It's speed is good even with snare. Have you ever chased a panther in full reverse? haha, I don't think you can keep up with it or flank it unless enemy is AFK or just bad.

Also, why must you invest 3-4 tanks to counter 1? You know a good/decent player will have pak40 or shrek blob right behind it. Wipe, wipe, wipe. There goes your allied tanks.

Both Cromwell and Comet mentioned have better speed than the Panther...Both Cromwell and Comet can keep up and flank a Panther....

A M10 is also faster than Panther...
