Team : Schwalbenheim Kingdom # Panther F Role : Medium Tank ## [General information](/md/rv/vehicles/panther-f.md#general-information) Description : The **Panther F** is a Medium Tank representing the planned Ausf. F variant, which was to use the narrow Schmalturm and a refined 75 mm gun (KwK 44/1) with a gyro-stabilized sight; the war ended before it entered production. In-game it weighs 45.5 tonnes with a crew of five and the **MB HL230 P30** (600 hp, 13.2 hp/t, 46 km/h). Main armament is the **7.5cm KwK44/1 L/70** with HE and AP, plus coaxial **7.92mm MG34**; the loader operates a grenade mortar for smoke and frag, and the bow gunner has a **7.92mm MG34**. The gunner benefits from a stabilizer, FCS, 3x/6x periscope, and 15x optical rangefinder — a significant step up from earlier Panthers and ideal for snap shots and ranged engagements.
