Now... back to the original request for Panthers....


Why is it that, when it comes to armor, everyone seems to gravitate to the biggest late-war monsters, and there seems to be almost no interest at all in the models that, while much less well-armored and with much less effective guns, still did the heavy liftiing through much of the war?

With the ability to stand off at 2.5km and plink nearly everything... and armor thick enough to resist a nuke , how much are you really going to learn about armored tactics in these behemoths?

I think it would be much more interesting to have to cut one's teeth in a Skoda, or a PzII infantry support, or suffer the anguish of an early British tank with a measly two-pounder... and move through the sublime PzIVs with long and short barrels... experience the pros and cons of the Sherman tank....

Doesn't anyone like a challenge? Why always go directly for the ueber-example of every tank or aircraft?
