Panther III Main Battle Tank
Press (1) to turn on the tank. Steering is done via VTOL and Trim. Aiming is done through pitch and roll. Hatches open via Throttle. The standard tank of the Teuton Heer's Panzerkorps. Constructed by Krupp Steel, this machine features an advanced 88mm railgun fed by an automatic loader with a coaxial 13mm machine gun. While its armor-piercing performance of the 88mm railgun is comparable to the Pilotmario 90mm railgun due to advances in ammunition, the 88mm gun is more versatile due to the availability of HE, HEAT, canister, shrapnel, and white phosporus in addition to AP rounds. In contrast, the 90mm coilgun only has AP, HE, and canistern. It contians a crew of 3; the commander, driver, and gunner. While comparable in armor, mobility, and firepower to the Avenger tank and completely outclasses the Scorpion, it falters against Victoria main battle tanks unless it can get shots into the sides of the Victoria. The armor is also coated in Zimmerit B paint, to provide some level of infra-red camouflage and protection against HEAT warheads. This example was captured by NFK mountain troops during a raid.

Woah.@Pilotmario
Yeah, the Teutons have big guns. Compared to the Avenger, it is slower but more heavily armored. The 105mm coil gun had inferior AP ability, but superior versatility due to the more powerful HE and HEAT round due to the larger caliber. @Areonautics3
Vardanas approves.
We use the same hub on the CobraT@Pilotmario
@Pilotmario But still, HEAVY artillary.
@Liquidfox Not as big as the 120mm coilgun of the Victoria IV.
