How do you use KF51 Panther?
This is a late Modern Schwalbenheim tank, not a starter. The three-person crew and 4 second reload want a driver who can stop the hull and a gunner who already knows the sight. It is a different vehicle from the World War 2 Panther D, Panther F, Panther G, and Panther II.
