Looks good but gun mantlet and barrel are totally wrong. Mantlet not wide enough and gun not a 7.5 cm,it's too thin. Not bad though, but the Tommy cooker would be blazing from the back not the front.

what is that weird texture effect on the hull i always see panthers have?

It's a special hull design the Germans put on their tanks. Its to stop mines sticking onto them.

Well, actually, its a paste. They just put it on it to limit the amount of tanks destroyed by mines. Less need for minesweepers then

was it effective?
(reminds me of the british running copper wires around their ships to stop magnetic mines)

A little, the Brits used it a bit aswell

Actually it's not a hull design at all. It's an add-on paste you can apply to it. The stuff is called zimmerit Anti-Magnetic Paste. Once developed, germans used to put it on everything they had, but then as the war progressed they stopped due the to curing process of the past slowing down production. The job of the past is to prevent magnetic contact between the tank hull and magnetic mines. This prevents the mine from attaching and detonating, which saves the tank meaning less need for mine sweepers.Β

yup. thats why if you go look at pictures of german tanks you can see area's where the "texture" looks like it was "scraped" off or it just fell mostly around the corners.Β

as you can see in this picture the origional zimmerit has fallen off leaving this corner, or rather shoulder, of the tank smooth compared to the rest of the zimmerit covered hull.Β

amazing, love the detail u put into the zimmerit coating. the sherman could use some more detail though, i believe its counterweight was a bit bigger?

Lafayette Pool's crew inside a M4A6(76)W Sherman : good bye Panther !

Panther would win that fight XD. But if that Sherman was a Firefly it might be a different story but that Sherman is not a Firefly so it stands no chance.

You can tell that crew of the Sherman is like, OH SHIT

you know in WWII it took 3 or 4 shermans to go after 1 panther or tiger.
π: 0 β©: 2
and in some cases - most cases, it worked....
sometimes...it took five, or six Shermans...
but the strategy worked.
heaven forbid if a panther - or even a tiger, gets damaged...
you'd be waiting till doomsday to get parts.....
Gimme a StuG, or a Panzer IV anyday.

Ja, I know... The Canadian Army uses the Leopard. It's beautiful.

π: 0 β©: 1
Nope, the Leopards. Trust me, im Canadian; and a war buff.

The commander of that panther needs to tell the driver to scoot back 2 or 3 meters.Β In a hull down position it should be all but invincible against Shermans.Β As it is now the lower glacis is painfully exposed.

Later Shermans had a ''Firefly" variation with an 17 pounder anti-tank gun as the main armament.They were first put in service in Normandy Landings and fought toe to toe with Tigers and Panthers from range. Germany's one of top scoring and famous Tiger Ace Michael Wittmann was also killed by a Sherman Firefly.

That is not confirmed since recent studies show that a Canadian Sherman III was the one which hit his Tiger from the side.
Some say a Typhoon/hurricane hit it and others say Firefly
