Picture of the Day

[Invincible]

It's a Panther II chassis, and a Panther Ausf. G turrit.

This is the Panther II prototype with turrit:

The Panther II, would have alot of similarities with the Tiger II.
same tracks, transmission, suspension and roadwheels. while the dimensions were very similar to those of Panther Ausf G. Side armor protection was 60mm thick while frontal armor protection was 100mm thick.
" It was planned to arm Panther II with the latest 75mm KwK 42 L/100 or even 88mm KwK 43 L/71 (without muzzle break) gun mounted in newly designed narrow turret - Schmalturm (designed by Rheinmetall in 1944 and to be produced by Daimler-Benz)."

In the end it would be just as crappy slow as an Tiger II.

The panther II missed its turret. The guys at the Patton armor museum mated an Ausf G turret to it. I once read their was a plan in the future to make a model of the Ausf F turret.


But imagine that Panther II fighting against Comets and centurion tanks on an alpenfestung II map! HRHRHRHRHR

A large but very nice picture

I never said it was the FLYING one

[Zeno]

lol put a 88 in front a see how many it can penetrate in one shot

[Goljatti]

^ Why use 88mm when you can use the 128mm gun of Jagdtiger/Pak 44? 

[Fuchs]

From what I remember the Tiger II's canon was actually better then the huge thing on the Jagdtiger.

IIRC the 128MM gun had the same penetration as the 88 on the KT, but it maintained its power over longer ranges.

IS-2's for example could survive a KT shot at 1000m, but not from the 12.8CM.
Penetration at 2000m was 132mm for KT but still 150mm for 12.8cm

This was the "Queen Olga", a Greek Destroyer. There were two of this design in Greek service in 1940 and it was the most modern ship in the Greek navy. It was a British design. This ship did great service in WW2, sinking numerous Italian military and merchant ships. It was finally sunk by German dive bombers in 1943, just after the Italian capitulation.

I take offence to that Bouras, add one letter and its Queen Tolga
