In my previous video on this topic I later found that mistakes had been made that had to be corrected. In this video I explain the origin of this mistake which has plagued the history of the Panther 2 and caused my error in the first video.

1:12 Yeah... It takes it very seriously by calling a BT-7 "medium tank"...
And adding a mouse (maus) v2
Nice
It looks like the repeat of the WoT vs. WT historical accuracy wars
@@alphaplayzz1381 thats actually accurate because the two prototype Maus tanks are referred to a v1 and v2. V2 was the one completed with the turret and V1 was a hull with a turret weight.
I already sent some information to hopefully correct one similar issue with a label ingame and have offered to help make some corrections if they want me to.
@@ConeOfArc they have three versions of the maus, prototype, V1, V2. One of those has to be wrong
The wording of the 1999 edition of Spielberger's book is hilarious.
The word "Abarten" is can be translated more accurately as "abominations" and less as "Variants".
The german word for variants is "Varianten".
Like, technically the translation is fine, but "Abart" or "abartig" is more commonly used to express disgust.
So the title of the book is more like "The Panther tank and its abominations", made me chuckle.
"Variante" comes from Latin. "Abart" is the (correct) old German word. You just don't hear it anymore in that context.
@@ottovonbismarck2443 Yeah it's just amazing how language changes in just 80 years.
I'd not be surprised if some people in some town in Germany still use the word "Abart" like that but I've literally never heard it being used that way my whole life (I'm in my 30s now).
Or maybe it's still used in some scientific literature, just not colloquially.
@@TheLumberjack1987 I myself can't remember to ever have used the word in the last 30 years, and I'm 50 and German.
@@ottovonbismarck2443 abart in italian sounds like "aborto" (abortion/aborted child)
I think that "the panther and its aborted children" would be a fine name
@@alfredorotondo Ciao ! The adjective in German means "pervert", which makes it "Panther and the Perverts"

I strongly disagree with Warpath as a sponsor. But I understand that people need to eat and if you have to shill a shitty mobile game, then so be it.
He's eating pretty well, it's at least a grand per sponsor for him.
@@tipi5586 Ok. How often are his videos? Once a week? A grand a week isn't a huge amount. Especially when you consider rent and electricity and water and software licenses.
Just skip the part. You won’t see any more warpath crap, and Coneofarc still can earn some money for his stuff
@@Kyle-gw6qp He does have a job although he said CZcams gives him more money at this point.

Unintentional tbh
@@ConeOfArc Ass you said
@@ConeOfArc lies?!??!?!?
Here’s a dumb joke:
The Germans didn’t have too many panthers and tigers in the field because the artists were too busy making modern art
this joke has 2 meanings
1. Hitler being rejected from art school
2. German designers more focused on designing dumb prototypes
@@Kalashnikov413 the first one you suggested makes no sense in that context. Punchline is the second (I'm assuming)
Yea, designers build the tanks
If the Panther's drivetrain would be designed to withstand 50 tons and it would have allsteel wheels, it would be a very good tank, and possibly the Pz. IV would get its improvements.
@@Kalashnikov413 Modern because bunkers and ruins.
Wdym inexcusable, it was an honest mistake, if we are to blame anyone then it would be the author of the book but he made an honest mistake too. Its not your fault at all.
to 4:42: why inexcusable? the human mind is bound to make mistakes and you´re here to correct this. dont worry about it and keep staying tall^^
Soo... That Mean Panther 2 Project just making a New Hull?
not making new hull, but improved it
originally just thiccer panther, later beacame standardised panther
Very diligent and professional. Great series this.
SERIOUSLY?! Thank you for your exceptional series and thank you for your amazing efforts in being as accurate as HUMANLY POSSIBLE!! Keep up your amazing work!!!
Uh... in your Warpath ad, it showed midway island in the MIDDLE OF THE ATLANTIC
IT'S LITERALLY GOOGLEABLE
yeah i thought i was tripping balls when i saw that
I thought i smoked something weird
A bit of trivia about the vehicle: While at the Patton Museum the Panther-II, still in running order, took part in 4th of July parade at Fort Knox every year up until the 1980s.
@ConeOfArc Bravo, for your humility, showing your integrity, but also how you investigated and explained it all out, so others do not repeat the mistake. Bravo, you are a true historian in my opinioin.

Why. You claim to hate misinformation about tanks, yet Warpath does it all the time.
They showed midway in the atlantic...

Off topic moment. I made an amazing Hetzer in Sprocket today. I freaking amazed myself with it.
It's an easy build doe.
Everyone makes mistakes; some of which have serious consequences. What everyone doesn't do is man-up to it like you did. I live in Illinois where no one accepts responsibility for anything. Its very refreshing. Thank You.
1:23. Why the hell is Midway in the middle of the Atlantic?
Excellent work. A sign of a true historian is admitting when they make mistakes and correcting them
I see what you did there, Cone.
An ‘Enigma’ of a tank.
Nice.
Thank you I did a similar write up years ago on the War Thunder forum and appreciate that you were able to not only admit you made the mistake but to correct it. I can say with confidence that we all very much appreciate that about you and your channel! Keep up the good work.
You have so much passion for tanks that you will correct a minor mistake in a video and then take full blame for it. You are great Cone and please keep up the good work.
Awesome Doco.
Admitting you got something wrong greatly increases your credibility, unfortunately to many people seem to double down or just ignore their mistakes in the hope people will eventually forget about it.
Warpath: trailer looks like Claudia Schiffer at her peak, actual game looks like Kamala Harris on PCP.
How about a cursed on design on the cone itself
ConeofArc: "warpath is so good and accurate"
Meanwhile me, a Warpath player who plays the game: ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?
I would love to see Cone go over all the historical inaccuracy in Warpath.
Warpath is historacly accurate. Lost it at that point
He needs food!
This video is the kind of video lazerpig should make on the t-14 armata, I think a format like this would be good.
That footage from 10:40 is from an armor museum in Massachusetts! I live 30 minutes away from there and have visited. I never really grasped the true size of the Panther and the T-34-85 before seeing them in person.
3:04 (to 4.34) Wait, hang on there....!
What then explains how they knew the armor was inferior in February when they only fielded it in July?? 🤔
(I'm assuming they knew the penetration of the T-34s from experience, and the armor from their own next-gen designs - but it would still be nice to have certainty)
Not sure exactly but if I had to guess they had likely already captured some of the Soviet anti tank rifles and tested them. Could also just be from their previous tanks having roughly the same sidearmor and running into issues.
@@ConeOfArc
Thanks! :)
i assume the rational during that time, panther armor effectiveness are superior with the current tech but not with great margin.
kind of similar on how some MBT research focusing on what will came in the future so they have been designed to have enough space/room inside the tank for future upgrades
It would be cool to see maybe a smaller scale mockup being made of the actual turret intended for the Panther II to be displayed with it.
Also no need to go so far with the apologies for making an easily understandable mistake. Majority of us are probably happy so long as you post a correction .
Small note, final drive failures were not exclusive to the Panther.
Almost all Panzers were suffering from final drive failures after a loss of tungsten to support strengthening to the gears. This is also why APCR rounds became more rare, and even 'brittle plates' became an issue when manganese no longer was as available.
@ConeOfArc The Pershing tank has a very complicated history that is somewhat similar to the panther tank with it’s production different variant.
From talking with Director for the U.S. army armor & Calvary collection I learned that he has access to a lot of source material about its development during the second world war.
Not all tanks were built to kill, the cute little kuegleblitz was built to love.
Old saying ….. there are only two types of people who never make a mistake …. Those who do nothing at all or liars ….. no exceptions.
Respect for admitting a mistake
Willingness to correct your mistakes shows that you a person of integrity, a respectful trait
Respect for making this video! We all make misstakes and owning up to them is important! After all, it's from our mistakes we learn. You sir, have proven yourself to be a very serious content maker. Thank you for what you do! Cheers from Sweden!
One of the biographies that I have read (and I am pretty sure that it is Panzer Battles by Mellenthin) states that the Panther initially came out with an 88mm gun, but was soon changed to a 75mm. I have not seen this in any other book though.
" I'm only human after all. " This line reminded me a song.
Man I love that intro, I've said it before but it really sets the tone
I love your voice,it makes me sleepy and i have problems getting sleepy
10:55 -> I have been there and up close. The Panther is just aestheticly a masterpiece
so what you're saying is that the Panther II was mostly used as a lesson to improve the main Panther, just like it's videos were used as a lesson to improve on your other videos
something something history repeats itself (?)
When I saw the commercial, I thought "man. John Cena is getting around". I laughed when I realized it wasn't him.
The tigers driving in unison is a sight to see 😍
the sponser part, the midway islans are in the atlantic, so accurate
This video was really good! I enjoyed it. Could you maybe do the T29 American tank next? You hinted that it would need its own video in your M6 video. I think it would be a cool topic to research
Great vid ConeofArc, thanks for the in-depth info on the panther 2.
No malice, no blame!
Another case of mistaken identity that spread is between FV 301 and Vickers Medium Cruiser Mk 1. Watch video on Armored Archives because it may have similarities between this and the mentioned video.
Much respect for this video. Far too many people are unwilling to accept when they have made an error.
I visited the Patton museum in 2000 as part of a trip from the UK for the F1 race at the Indy Speedway. I saw the Panther II. I'd actually gone down to Kentucky to see a museum at Fort Knox and saw the Patton museum and went there instead.
I love correction videos. Proves that the maker is honest in their attempts to tell history has accurate has possible. You can only be has good has the source material at hand at the time. And it makes you human. Much about that war is just now becoming available , so more information may change in future.
All of your mistakes are forgiven bro
Genuinely apologising and admiting to a mistake made. Cone is truly ahead of their time as a CZcamsr.
I saw one at the Patton Museum in Fort Knox. That was long ago and I don't know if it is still on display.
It’s no longer at Fort Knox, it’s with the rest of the US armor collection in Fort Benning which isn’t open to the public yet.
@@leops1984 currently no plans to reopen up most of that ordinance; if you want to see it you’ll have to be in the Army and have an MOS clearance of 89, 91 or 94 (pertaining to specialities in munitions, vehicle repair and radar repair) as a majority of it has been moved to Ft. Lee in southern Virginia, and is now meant to educate recruits in armored history and heritage. And as previous commenter said some of it (like the Panther) was moved to Georgia, still out of the public’s eyes.
"So I apologise for something so _inexcusable_ happening..."
Jesus Christ dude don't be so overwhelmingly hard on yourself! Everybody fucks up from time to time, and from your explanation it seems like a very reasonable fuck up. It pains me to hear people talk about themselves like that for something that's really a non-issue.
Yes but having a video which spreads further misinformation about a historical topic is not my goal and I shouldnt have let it happen
@@ConeOfArc Thanks for the rapid reply, and I agree with what you say about perpetuating incorrect data, but I stand by what I say that you were too hard on yourself. Take it easy just a bit. And thanks very much for the fantastic content.
@@ConeOfArc commit seppeku. You have brought dishonour.
You have my respect, for making a video to correct your mistake. It can be hard for people to admit that you were wrong/incorrect, even though your mistake would be considered mild I would say, AND it was because someone else made a mistake, LEADING YOU to make a mistake.
PS: also if would say that ConeOfArc is a little hard on himself for making this mistake.
02:46 "This was done using the Schmalturm turret..." Turm means turret in german, and schmal means narrow.
So in theory, warthunders panther 2 just needs a different gun, as it’s turret THEORETICALLY could’ve been a panther Fs turret, and (all panthers later on were meant to get NVD) but the war ended
One wonders why the tiger final drive was never adopted for the Panter from the get go.
That thing just worked....and all tanks had the habit of getting thicker as time went on ( was it married? )....
Problem with Panther II turret from Panzer Tracts was that drawing date (Late 43) was after MAN cancelled Panther II project in May 43 and turning it into "test mule"
"This enigma of a tank." Nice one Arc.
We love your videos. This is bound to happen every now and then. Your admission and accountability proves just how amazing you and your staff are. We forgive you and will always love your videos.👍keep up all with all the informative videos that we have come to love.
i dont mind the mistake
im just happy u found it
and told us what was wrong
The picture that showed the Lonely tank with it's head down, and probably in it's Cousins town.. Sad.
I wish I could find the old scource! The Allies found a a Panther turret at the Krupp testing range with the 88mm L71 fitted. Wether it was designed for the 'Panther II' or not, I'm not sure. But. they were testing to try and make it fit on a Panther of some description.
Nice to keep reality in history. APG was a wonderful place to look at armor.
Bloody Brilliant video!
Don't beat yourself up though, even large companies made the same mistake with much worse outcomes!
And im sorry if i was a little harsh on your last Panther II video
