Currently Ostheer Panther veterancy is as follows:
Vet1: Unlocks the 'Blitzkrieg' ability
Vet2: +10% armour +20% health, +40% weapon rotation speed
Vet3: -30% reload, +20% rotation speed, +10% ac/de-celeration

How about the following changes?

Vet0: Upgrade Panther main gun damage to 200 (from 160)
Vet1: After using Blitzkrieg, the tank suffers from a debuff in max-speed and rotation-rate (say 20%), and acceleration (say 50%) for 10 seconds
Vet2: Replace health/armour bonus with -30% reload bonus
Vet3: Replace reload bonus with gun damage increase from 200 to 240

The whole idea behind this is making the Panther into more of a glass cannon that can really bite. This is, while, at the same time removing the no-brainer part of the Blitzkrieg* ability which rewards bad plays too much.

The initial damage increase will have an impact mostly:
- vs advanced mediums (Comet, etc)
- veterancy gain for the Panther
- repair times for the opposition

On the other hand, the Vet3 bonus will have a profound effect on the Panther as it will effectively reduce the amount of successful shots needed to kill any target by at least 1.

*The Blitzkrieg nerf assumes UKF and OKW abilities will follow suit with a similar nerf.
