There are a real Panther II and Tiger II 105 fully functioning prototypes located near Pleiskircher, Germany, Gaijin doesn't want you to know but it was revealed to me in a dream that they exist, they just wanted to prevent German mains from taking over war thunder.
The Panther II only existed as a fully completed hull which the the Americans recovered and brought back to the states to test. The Tiger II with the 10.5cm gun only ever existed has a proposal. Which was impractical and pointless, while the 8.8cm gun in the shmaltrum turret was a different project.
the coelian existed only as a wooden mockup and blueprints. meanwhile the vehicle that replaced it, the ostwind 2, wasnt even that. It didnt exist and was never even conceived of. It's a fair argument for all but that
@@derpiestderp325 Well to be fair the coelian kinda existed I was the Panther hull with a wooden Prototyp turret And If i remember correctly the ho Ri was completely Out of Wood as a "Prototyp" Based on that If the Ho Ri is allowed to stay in Game, then the coelian should be too
@@Sturmi05 Late to the party. but i think the prototype should stay. But the *production* variant should go. THat seems like a fair way to deal with it imo
This isn't common knowledge so I don't blame you for not knowing, however, the Ho-Ris were added due to misinformation purposefully fed to Gaijin by the former Japanese Ground Consultant. That consultant no longer works with Gaijin. The Type 99 being at the same BR as the Ho-Ri Production is a pretty clear sign of the end times for it so make sure to snag it before it gets banished to the Shadow Realm.
A major reason why they were removed is also because the game started adding more modern vehicles that could start roughly replacing their role and BR in the tech tree. For Japan this took longer, but with the presence of the Type 99 I wouldn't be surprised if the Ho-Ri is next on the chopping block.
Everytime I see these tanks I get sad because I used to play the game when they were about to removed but I still only had Pz 3s and 4s unlocked so I couldn't get them.
Yea but gajin unfortunately removed them for not being real. Meanwhile a good majority of the Russian tank prototypes just don't exist or barely exist.
@@aiedenoldstien9751are you even heard what spookstoon said? Both KT105 and Panther II are straight up fictional, unlike russian one off prototype that exist as a functional vehicles.
gaijin: adds 1 million objects into soviet tree: totally fine also gaijin: a wooden mockup of an AA-panther?: no way. totally not real. cant be in our game any longer
You have to play the Sturer Emil, 243 mm of pen at 4.3 makes KV-1's cease to exist, it also has great gun depression and like a 15 sec reload with expert Crew
the tiger 105 causes the kind of fear factor in my teammates that make them treat it like its a maus despite only having slightly more firepower than the normal tiger 2
Sometimes it feels like the maus when it was much lower in br. The imaginary tiger will just soak up tankshells for seemingly no reason at all and one shot everything.
Considering its frontal armor making it almost imposible to pen even with sabot shots and that sometimes the barrel dosen't get destroyed (even when i hit it head on only turned yellow) so yeah, that tiger in a bottle neck position its a nightmare if there is no way to flank it
@@kimjanek646 what balance reasons Its a 105 tiger 2 With a quicker reload than the t29 That used to have a range finder if it doesnt still And when the t29 got moved to 7.0 it stayed at 6.7 for along while Wheres the balance here

I was just about to start researching the Panther two, logged off, a week later when i came back they removed it💀
You should give the Coelian its own video, it is the hidden gem of the removed lineup. It plays like a pseudo IFV, but more importantly CAS 'players' think you are an Ostwind II which leads to some very funny moments when strafing turns into certain death, followed by screeching and coping in chat.
you can TECHNICALLY still play the Panther 2 in one of those training tutorial missions, i forget which one. just a neat way to look at the model, even if you can’t do a whole lot
I had a really shitty day today and was about to go to bed depressed as shit. But then I decided to open TH-cam and saw this on my recommended. Clicked on it and I don’t regret doing so. Your vids bring spirits up man. Subscribed.
The Panther II hull does exist, it's just that after mounting multiple different turrets (including the one seen on the Panther F), it was realised it would solve a few problems but would result in basically a completely new tank, so they scrapped the project, kept the hull, and put the finalised design turret on a regular Panther G chassis as the Panther F. Even that project couldn't be completed because the war was over by that point. Still, have the Panther II chassis, give it a Panther F turret, and it should be good. You just have a slightly fatter Panther now
I would like it to have the panther g turret as the f turret in game is technically worse as it's a flat plate. Also, the f turret is probably the worst looking tank turret ever made. In my opinion, it just looks gross.
We're you got this nice fairytale from ? 😅 The Panther 2 was rejected , cause simple side skirts solved the problem with Soviet 14,5mm AT rifles . The new turret called Schmalturm used to be on the Panther F , wich also was never completed . The F had a better hull and they put some G turrets on F hulls , that's it . There was no real F version with the Schmalturm .
@@5co756 I don't think you understand what happened. Panther F is nothing more than a Schmallturm on a Panther G chassis. The Panther II was not just about side skirts, but about a better engine (HL234), increased front armour and a new transmission/gearbox, as well as sharing as many parts as possible with the Tiger II. The Panther II had a specially designed turret, which was the "schmale Blendenausführung Panther", but it was rejected for the Schmallturm, which was then kept for the Panther F project, which as I stated in the comment, never went anywhere. The Panther II was a project that already started in early 1943, but continued on until mid 1944 due to differing ideas on what the Panther II was going to be.
You all need go back to historical facts school because neither of you got it completely right. The project was canceled in 1943 and a sort of Schmalturm was planned but never constructed.
@@shockblaster1201 the Panther II in real life doesn't have either the HL234 engine or Tiger II transmission. This is because it was not meant to have those improvements. The real project was just meant to have improved protection due to experiences on the Eastern front, specially from the 14.5 anti tank rifles that the Soviets used. When it was cancelled, the HL234 engine didn't even exist yet.
This is just my most used lineup except for the flakpanzer since I stopped researching SPAAs with wirblewind and wasnt able to research flakpanzer on time. I was unaware of anything that happens in wt at that time. Though I was able to get the Maus and it was my favorite tank to play.
Nah the panther 2 started at 6.7 and got moved to 7.0. Personally I believe that was completely unnecessary and undeserved because now the panther 2 is almost unplayable especially when uptiered.
@@steakinbacon8593 It's a singular BR step up for a vehicle new players literally can't use or see in game to look for weak spots in the hangar man it's not that bad
Panther II on display at the U.S. Army Armor & Cavalry Collection, Fort Moore. It simply doesn't have the proto-type "slim-turret", and instead has a Panther Aus-G turret as a place holder.
my favorite running joke is Spookston constantly complaining about blinding himself with NVD's while trying to scout but refusing to rebind the key and instead either just suffering or now just disabling NVD's all together
Panther 2 actually exists. It was a prototype but it was found without a turret so the allies put a panther g turret and now its in a museum. The tiger 2 105 was only a proposed upgrade for tiger 2.
The Panther 2 does exist, ive seen it, touched it and have pictures of it. Its in Fort Moore or Fort Benning if your old school. The goofy Schmallturm was supposed to be on it however there wasnt an existing prototype until after the Panther 2 was cancelled so its host hull was switched to your old school panthers.
The Panther 2 did have one hull that was produced but never went beyond just the single hull, eventually after it was captured it was given a Panther G’s turret and I think it’s on display somewhere in the US
Day 90 You should play a tank with hydropneumatic suspension (recommend the MBT-70) But the catch is you have to drop the suspension as low as it can go for the whole match.
Absolutely lovely topic. Would love you to talk about late war german tanks and complications of their implementation based on their sources. Great vid! 🎉
@@Thehackofzwerg It had a unique turret designed by Rheinmetall-Borsig called the Schmale Blendenausführung that was basically the rear of a normal Panther turret but with a narrow front and redesigned mantlet, it was never built and when the US captured the Panther II hull it was only fitted with weight simulators. The Panther II was fitted with an Ausf G turret post US testing to make the vehicle look more complete for display purposes only.
Day 31 of asking for the Churchill VII Daily fun fact: There were three lesser known versions of the Churchill known as the Churchill IX, X and XI. They were attempts to bring older Churchill variants like the mk. III, mk. IV, V and VI to the level of the Churchill VII mostly by upgrading the mobility and the turret.
panther 2 exist, its just have a original hull with a turret from panther G ( Americans put it on hull to doing range target shooting ) and its in general George Patton museum in Fort Knox now.
You just make it look so seamless. That said, I redownloaded this game to look if I had these vehicles. AND I DO. I'm going to suck at this but I'll give this game a try again.
The fact that I have this lineup is the only reason I still come back to this game. These three right here are it. Panther II is so very rewarding to play. Coelian tend to do the best with against air vehicles compared to any other AA, and the 105 tiger is just way to much fun to play. If it weren't for these three, I'd have stopped playing long ago.
When others drive through Spookston's shot and eat it: Grrr.. When Spookston drives through someone else's shot and eats it: Oopsie mistah I'm not sowwy.
If I recall correctly, the hull of panther 2 was made. But someone discovered that welding plates to the side of panther's hull rendered the crew mostly safe from 14.5mm at rifles so they canned panther 2 in favor of developing panther A then G
Not really. The Panther II was supposed to be the successor of the Panther and improve it in many ways, even though Panther 1 production just started. This whole story makes no sense since making the side armor thicker by 5mm would have rendered the vehicle immune to the 14.5mm anyway. It was simply not possible to start producing the Panther II when they just set up production for the Panther 1 and also not necessary since the vehicle was on paper quite capable compare to any allied tank of the time. Thus the project was canceled and instead improvements were implemented in iterations.
Your ability to detect exactly what kind of tank you’re fighting just by the sound of its engine it impressive. I’ve only learned to recognize the low rumble of Russian and German engines as being something that I usually can’t kill. I still can’t distinguish what it actually is without seeing it. Lol
I expected spookston to have more hours but i have a friend who has 27600 hours and he has all the strats to the game and he is an excellent teacher in WT he helped me when i started playing and now helps me with suppirt
11:59 Cope cages are in reference to ‘copium’ memes and jokes about the ineffectiveness of the Russian tanks. It’s fairly apt given its origin. Sure, silly name, but it has its purpose, but the correct term is slat armour.
Query 1: How often do you go shooting? Question 2: If you ever end up doing a face reveal, will you show us how good your aim is? Inquiry 3: Will you do some sim battles?
I was not expecting to see Igon from Shadow of Erdtree screaming Snail here. I can't escape that dialogue. It follows me everywhere, like Igon follows Bayle the Dread.
the german 7.0 lineup is just so much fun, that 105 on the tiger rips through most targets with some aiming, and the engine and transmission upgrades for the panther absolutely make it one of my favourite tanks at 7.0. honestly they could add a more real panther 2, i think it was drawn up to be more like a panther F with the engine and transmission upgrades and with the 75mm not the 88, but im not entirely sure. considering how the snail adds many fictional configurations, and mods for russian tanks i feel like the collien is just as real as those

i'm surprised gaijin hasnt tried to kidnap this man yet... he's too good.
The Panther 2 does exist, ive seen it, touched it and have pictures of it. Its in Fort Moore or Fort Benning if your old school. The goofy Schmallturm was supposed to be on it however there wasnt an existing prototype until after the Panther 2 was cancelled so its host hull was switched to your old school panthers.
"Forbidden Tank Lineup"
*Looks inside*
*Almost exclusively Panther 2 Gameplay lol*
Spookton got my dream tanks of the german tech tree😂
We love WT casually adding and removing tanks just because
The Panther 2 did have one hull that was produced but never went beyond just the single hull, eventually after it was captured it was given a Panther G’s turret and I think it’s on display somewhere in the US
Try playing the Panther F
Day 90 You should play a tank with hydropneumatic suspension (recommend the MBT-70) But the catch is you have to drop the suspension as low as it can go for the whole match.
Can you just imagine being an L3 and seeing an entire lineup of forbidden German tanks?
Over a year of play time( give or take)Thats incredible. All the hard work is paying off. You gots to be over the moon bro! Enjoy. Love the content
Gaijin: Wait, that's illegal
Absolutely lovely topic. Would love you to talk about late war german tanks and complications of their implementation based on their sources. Great vid! 🎉
Well the Panther 2 existed, but not with a 8,8cm nor the Schmallturm
A hull doesn’t make a tank
@@kimjanek646 there where a turret, but they didn‘t use it often
The turret was form what I know the one of a Panther A
@@Thehackofzwerg It had a unique turret designed by Rheinmetall-Borsig called the Schmale Blendenausführung that was basically the rear of a normal Panther turret but with a narrow front and redesigned mantlet, it was never built and when the US captured the Panther II hull it was only fitted with weight simulators. The Panther II was fitted with an Ausf G turret post US testing to make the vehicle look more complete for display purposes only.
@@STHV_ that‘s the schmalturm. And yes there was a test turret. The turret you mean was the turret used on the Panther F
Day 31 of asking for the Churchill VII
Daily fun fact: There were three lesser known versions of the Churchill known as the Churchill IX, X and XI. They were attempts to bring older Churchill variants like the mk. III, mk. IV, V and VI to the level of the Churchill VII mostly by upgrading the mobility and the turret.
moving this thing up to 7.0 was a crime
panther 2 exist, its just have a original hull with a turret from panther G ( Americans put it on hull to doing range target shooting ) and its in general George Patton museum in Fort Knox now.
Metal gear rising reference, lets gooooo
that curse you snail was epic... nice elden ring reference bro caught me off guard
LVT(A)(4) video please Spook!?
You just make it look so seamless. That said, I redownloaded this game to look if I had these vehicles. AND I DO.
I'm going to suck at this but I'll give this game a try again.
The fact that I have this lineup is the only reason I still come back to this game. These three right here are it. Panther II is so very rewarding to play. Coelian tend to do the best with against air vehicles compared to any other AA, and the 105 tiger is just way to much fun to play.
If it weren't for these three, I'd have stopped playing long ago.
A Panther with proper reverse speed is terrifying. Change my mind
I would give almost anything to own the Tiger 2 105, i know it doesnt exist but i just NEEEEEED it
And I thought i had an issue with my 3k hours in War Thunder. Thank you for your sacrifice Spooks, its very much appreciated.
I like how the bulldog penned the turret of a tank that has a literal sardine can for said turret, and killed no one...
When others drive through Spookston's shot and eat it: Grrr..
When Spookston drives through someone else's shot and eats it: Oopsie mistah I'm not sowwy.
If I recall correctly, the hull of panther 2 was made. But someone discovered that welding plates to the side of panther's hull rendered the crew mostly safe from 14.5mm at rifles so they canned panther 2 in favor of developing panther A then G
Not really.
The Panther II was supposed to be the successor of the Panther and improve it in many ways, even though Panther 1 production just started.
This whole story makes no sense since making the side armor thicker by 5mm would have rendered the vehicle immune to the 14.5mm anyway.
It was simply not possible to start producing the Panther II when they just set up production for the Panther 1 and also not necessary since the vehicle was on paper quite capable compare to any allied tank of the time. Thus the project was canceled and instead improvements were implemented in iterations.
Spookston the type 60 sprg will never forgive, never forget
Jour 16 of asking Spookston to play the Vextra 105 🇫🇷
Your ability to detect exactly what kind of tank you’re fighting just by the sound of its engine it impressive. I’ve only learned to recognize the low rumble of Russian and German engines as being something that I usually can’t kill. I still can’t distinguish what it actually is without seeing it. Lol

I expected spookston to have more hours but i have a friend who has 27600 hours and he has all the strats to the game and he is an excellent teacher in WT he helped me when i started playing and now helps me with suppirt
Congratulations! You've earned yourself a sub! 👍
Video 72 of asking Spookston to play the LAV-AD with HEAT
Spookston should play the Fiat 6614. It's such a gremlin at it's BR, especially when you can find perfect cover where only your gun is exposed.
-Panther II is historical for WT
-Source?
-It was revealed to me in a dream

Here's a fun challenge idea: SAPHEI only in the M22 Locust. Not much pen, but all of the damage.
The panther 2 in sim battles is straight diabolical
11:59 Cope cages are in reference to ‘copium’ memes and jokes about the ineffectiveness of the Russian tanks. It’s fairly apt given its origin. Sure, silly name, but it has its purpose, but the correct term is slat armour.
I just realized I have more playtime then spooksten at 14167 hours played btw love the vid
11 THOUSAND HOURS, that is a next level amount of playtime dear god
I just love the random halo CE sound effects in the background
Query 1: How often do you go shooting? Question 2: If you ever end up doing a face reveal, will you show us how good your aim is? Inquiry 3: Will you do some sim battles?
Throws me out for a loop fighting the Panther II, never expected a panther to REVERSE out of trouble.
I have this lineup it works pretty good
I was not expecting to see Igon from Shadow of Erdtree screaming Snail here. I can't escape that dialogue. It follows me everywhere, like Igon follows Bayle the Dread.
I wonder if we’ve been in the same match? 🤔 Nice video brother
"why are so many guys targeting me at once"
now hold up there, pal.
467 days of playtime. Spookston, i kindly request of you to go for a trip around the nearest park
the german 7.0 lineup is just so much fun, that 105 on the tiger rips through most targets with some aiming, and the engine and transmission upgrades for the panther absolutely make it one of my favourite tanks at 7.0.
honestly they could add a more real panther 2, i think it was drawn up to be more like a panther F with the engine and transmission upgrades and with the 75mm not the 88, but im not entirely sure.
considering how the snail adds many fictional configurations, and mods for russian tanks i feel like the collien is just as real as those
Love the C&C generals background music
I was not expecting the MaXor clip, I was much amused.
the video perfectly ended after I was done eating my favorite food which I only eat when I watch you
SPOOKS: *shows WT played hours*
ME: *slowly closes entire played-hours Steam catalog in shame*

Spookstoon calls the video "Germany's forbidden line up" and proceeds to only use the Panther 2.
