For VM and discussion Panther D K43 Alt scn - ideas

[Radetzky]

i'm with Volcano here. if the ALT scenarios are to be
a way of providing a more 'historic' feel of the battle,
we should take military history sources in account.
even if that means dumping some prejudices about
the sophisticated 'Wunderwaffen' of the nazis.

german sources clearly state how well the Panthers
could fight but on the other hand how very bad their
reliability at Kursk actually was. the combat weight of
the Panzer V actually was far higher than anticipated
and thus put a very high strain on the suspension and
the gear box - without sufficent spare parts at hand.
so, giving them low morale levels is a quite adequate way
of taking the edge out of the Panthers.
