Specifically, the mismatch in crew values caused by commander's 10% crew skill bonus. Outside of a crew of 1 commander only, 100% crew is a fiction. The client values, given for 100% crew, will normally be taken into battle with 110% crew skill members aside from specific functions, causing their actual performance to deviate from the expected client value. These differences are taken into account in tooltip boxes.

Panther/M10

VII

5100

The Panther/M10 is a German tier 7 premium medium tank.

During the preparation of Otto Skorzeny's Panzerbrigade 150 for the Ardennes offensive, four Panther tanks were disguised as M10 tank destroyers. The tank brigade was to carry out diversions deep behind the allied lines. All vehicles were lost during the battle with the 120th U.S. Infantry Regiment on February 21, 1945.

Contrary to what the ingame description says, the Panther-M10 actually saw action on 21 December 1944, not February 1945.

Anyone that has driven a Panther will feel right at home. The Panther M10 is basically a Panther without the magnificent 75mm L/100 gun, 50 less horsepower (which is barely noticeable), and a smaller turret. No less of a good tank, the Panther M10 has an improved aim and reload time with the well proven 75mm L/70 gun and it is still able to put its weight into fights.

The Panther M10 is the first tank to be a different color from the rest of the tanks of its nation. Instead of the German grey, it is American olive drab.

Performance

This tank has it's ups and downs in a lot of different games, in some situations this tank makes you feel like a god and in others makes you wonder whether you should have bought it in the first place. Even though this tank can feel really bad at times it has some amazing features that make it worth every penny, the fire rate and accuracy can make this tank play vary well in games were it should just crash and burn but this tank can even take on tier 8's but only with support from around 2 to 3 teammates.

With this tanks strengths and weaknesses it can take on most tier 7's and under with minimal help, but only a teammate or two will help you do a bit more damage or prevent them from circling around with the big problem for this tank being it's low damage potential making this tank very weak against most tier 8 heavy's with their large health pools and high powered weaponry, even though this tank has only an average of 140 damage per shot you can still deal a good amount of damage even to tanks such as the T29 or Tiger II if you aim for their weak spots and disable critical modules allowing you to gain control of the situation.

You must always keep in mind that with this tank you are a support unit with your role being to assist your teammates in battle as a result always aim for the enemies tracks, engine, or any other vulnerable parts of the vehicle that can disabled and it will make it easier to allow your team to finish the job. Also as a support unit you should always be watching the flanks and trying to keep up your teams speed with the movements of your enemies if possible since you do not want to be the person that misses the scouts breaking through your lines of defense resulting in them flanking your teammates and killing your artillery. One other thing for this tank is that the very good turret traverse, RoF, and accuracy make it excellent at tracking and killing scouts.

The M10 should not be driven head on against heavy tanks as the damage it inflicts can be rather low. This tank excels as a sniper or support unit, and it is very maneuverable, being able to assist tanks quickly on separate fronts, and can lay waste to any tier 7 (or lower) medium and light tanks with little effort. Keep in mind that heavy tanks are frequently encountered in tier 7 and 8 battles, so putting the M10 on the front lines can result in almost certain death.

This tank excels especially when played in a wolfpack of 2 or more in a platoon. A wolfpack is able to deal considerable damage to enemy tanks that have been separated from their allies.

Do not judge its armor too harshly - it is able to bounce shots from many vehicles in a similar fashion to the original Panther in game. The Panther M10 also lacks a cupola; or any at all. This makes it good in hull-down locations. The gun mantlet has a habit of taking 0 damage from shots, but don't trust it too much. Due to its high profile, hiding from behind a bush will still reveal the tank's position even when sniping from long range (depending on an enemy tank's view range). Unless you're a dedicated sniper, training the Camouflage skill as early as possible is a must.
