I think infared should be used on a sort of reward Pz IV since the Panther sucks at infantry killing, unless this is to encourage the usage of mechanized infatnry.

Actually there was a mechanism in some tanks that utilised like a bent shotgun that purged infantry around the tank! :)

That would be more useful I think...

Curved barrels on MP44s. Stress of going around the curve shattered the bullet, making it like a fully auto shotgun.
If you get into an argument with me, you're wrong.

I thought it was to attack tanks by being able to go throught the slit holes and things like that.

What I'm saying is Panther cannon sucks at infantry fighting making it retarded to put a feature like that on it, unless it was intended to be used in conjunction with infantry around the tank.

Very interesting. It would be useful, maybe use it against partisans if they'll add such a level?

Or have partisans needing to avoid it if playing as them.

Here's something extra: we could also have the 251/20 (Infrared) halftracks in a similar mission, these were paired with friendly tanks to help them at night.



In one way, the Infrared Panther could be in the "Boss Fight" ;D

i still like the idea to upgrade the panther with infra-red.
but not to increase the range or something like that

its only to detect cloaked units and decreased the green cover boni of units when panther (only units wiht this upgrade) fighting them

Nope - Only for night-ops in the campaign, and possibly a multiplayer/skirmish gametype.
