Tank description:

The Panther mit 8,8 cm L/71 is a German tier 8 premium medium tank.Development of a modification of the Panther started in the spring of 1944. The new variant was to incorporate a newly designed Schmalturm turret. The new vehicle was designated the Panther Ausf. F. On January 23, 1945, it was reported that the 88-mm gun of the Tiger was mounted on the upgraded version of the new turret. A large number of hulls for the vehicle were manufactured, but the turret never saw production and existed only as a wooden model.The Panther mit 8,8 cm L/71 (or Panther 88) is fairly similar to its tech tree counterpart, the Panther II, but has some minor differences: slightly weaker hull armor, but better terrain resistance values and hull traverse giving an edge to its mobility. It also sports superior RoF and gun handling than Panther II mounting the very same 8.8cm L/71.
