Description[]
The Panther mk. III is a powerful tank armed with a heavy turret-mounted cannon and a machine gun. It has heavy armor and is impervious to small-arms fire, and is capable of withstanding several explosions. As with the Flammwagen and Wulf, the Panther is capable of damaging other vehicles by running into them. If a car crashes into the tank at high enough speed, the car may instantly explode.
Deployment[]
The Panther was one of the most effective war machines for the Nazi regime and was incredibly useful in their conquest. They can be seen spearheading the invasion of France after Sean, Vittore and Veronique flee to Paris in the Prologue.
Their role as a front-line tank makes them a rare sight to see in-game, with most armour divisions around Paris consisting of the AR 33, Flammwagen or Wulf tanks. AI-controlled Panthers are only encountered during the mission Symphony of Destruction, and are otherwise not deployed at all.
Acquisition[]
An abandoned, heavily-damaged Panther can be found hidden in ruins in the Champagne Ardenne region, located directly behind Sacré-Cœur. Sean may hijack this and store it at a Garage provided the Wheelman perk is unlocked.
Trivia[]
- The Panther mk. III's design is based upon the real-life Panzer III.
