Panther AP stats

[Rolf Steiner]

Hi just got rules

Quick query have the AP stats for the Panthers 75mm L/70 got mixed up with those for the 88mm L/71 ?
Panther shown in lists as 6/100 whilst both sides he Tiger2 and the Jagdpanther show 5/100 ?
Also Panther shown as a Tank Buster is this correct ?

Cheers
Gary

Is the ap stat a abstraction of number of vehicles/rate of fire/power of gun?

5 panthers in a platoon - 4 tigers - 3 Jagdpanther's (not 100% on these)

I was wondering the same. Also 5+ with good armor seems odd considering it's excellent frontal armor but mediocre side/rear. I guess it does have heavy tank hit points 🤔.

It is very unlikely that there would be 5 panthers in a platoon, despite the official TOE, 4 at most. Neither the 75L70 or the 88L70 are good HE guns, as fire at too higher MV, so not getting a good splinter effect. They are also less accurate than a 17pdr or 88L56, as the barrel is too long and drops under it's own weight.

For the panther I think I'll drop ap and at by 1d6, increase save to 4+, drop good armour and keep tank buster.
