Both that Panther P and a Panther IVH are in the game set to become available on August 1943. Although the IVH is super weird as it has a whopping 4 soft attack and is otherwise like a regular panther. I'm thinking these are either units for the next AO or there may be a secret we haven't found yet.

I also picked some up with industry connections. Sadly, like the Tiger (P), it has lower defenses than its counterpart. Still a good tank though.

ive read about panther IVH, it was command vehicle, gun didnt work they took out the breach for more room, so it makes sense that it doesnt have that much attack

VK = German abreviation for prototype
30 = 30 ton
.01 = first variation
D = Daimler-Benz

Panther (P) in game simply because the designer wanted to emphasise it was 'a' prototype of the Panther. ie. the Panther series didn't really start until the MAN version went into production.

Yes. The Panther IVH is a command vehicle that was made from spare Panther A chassis ( or Bergepanther ) with a Panzer IVH turret welded in place with its main guns workings removed. So its only armament is its hull mounted mg.

What’s the point of the Panther IVH ? I feel like I have wasted my prestige points with this unit ? I find no use for this unit...

I think you are not supposed to get it in your forces. Much more like a unit made for a specific scenario.

But I can purchase the Panther IVH in the Salerno scenario...

Looks like a miss when writing unit files for me. TigerP, PantherP and PantherIV were added together with AO 42 update, and since the first two are obviously prototype units when you consider their historical production, it could be that they forgot to add NoPurchase for these units. Another unit added the same time, SU-76i, also simply copied available year and Open Top trait from the existing SU-76, while this unit was actually enclosed.

Most unit updates are for the DLCs that use them.

All unit updates apply to the base game.
This is the standard practice for the PzC series.
The DLCs 'pay' for the updates, then modders and others can use the new units as desired.
There comes a time on every project when it is time to shoot the engineer and ship the damn thing.

With updates and new dlcs, changes may affect the main campaign or previous dlcs. It is then necessary to make adaptations of the previous scenarios...
