I’m really frustrated that the Panther tanks, both Tier 7 and 8, are still stuck with a really low alpha gun in 2025. It makes grinding through these tanks super painful, and I’m tired of dealing with them. Can anyone reassure me that the Panther II gets better with the top gun? I’ve been putting off this grind for years now!

I’ve had a good time with my Panther 7 ICL! It can still hold its own if you know what you’re doing. Just stay at a distance and let the accuracy work for you.
They’ve recently updated the stock grinds on various lines, so I wouldn’t be shocked if they do the same for the German mediums soon. I doubt they’ll just remove the low alpha guns, but it might get buffed to around 150 alpha for the Panther II instead of just the L/70. Don’t get your hopes too high, though.
Honestly, the Tier 7 Panther is underrated. A lot of folks focus too much on the alpha damage and don’t realize its DPM is solid, plus it has good pen with standard ammo. You can still do well with it if you play smart.
It really sounds like you’re in for a grind until you hit the E50 with the top gun. Trust me, the Panther II can feel really rough, just throw some free XP at it and power through!
Yeah, the grind is rough, just like the tanks. You’ll probably want to use free XP and blueprints to get through it faster!
Yeah, I think that’s the plan! Just gonna skip the hard stuff.
