Tank Machine Gun - Panther

The Tank Machine Gun - Panther is a heavy machine gun mounted on the German Panzer V Panther medium tank.

Description
The machine gun is similar to that mounted on the Panzer VI Tiger, as it is the same caliber and has the same magazine capacity, but has an improved optical sight and range, and a higher rate of fire. The weapon is mounted on the front of the Panther, making it ineffective against infantry approaching the sides or rear of the tank.

In Game
The tank machine gun appears mounted in the forward hull position of the Panzer V Panther near the German radio station in the Sumava Forest during Operation Liberator - Final Show-Down.
