@SaveAxisFactions you know the panther has 320 armour and 900hp right? And gets more of both with vet making it closer to the health and armour of an is-2 than not... Panther is plenty Durable, as it is a vanilla panther will bounce a t34-85 50% of the time... From point blank down to 43% at max and 0% at the ranges that the panther out ranges it. The e8 has it better (because everything is better from dlc!) with about 54% chance to pen at point blank and 48% at max. So no, not even the very best non TD tanks can pen the panther front reliably, you have range and armour on yoyr side. Do I think the panther needs a buff? Yes. But it is CERTAINLY not squishy by any standard, hell iirc its more durable than the Pershing for christs sake.

It's anti infantry really does't seem like the problem, it just seems like it's speed is a bit high for a medium.
