The Cent turret on the Panther works, it really works. I suppose the issue is for the back story the Centurion hull and drive train was probably more reliable than the Panthers so why would you do it?

Hot War 1946/47; insufficient Centurion hulls; left-over Panther hulls; German capacity to make more with existing machinery; fitted with modified Centurion turrets, engines & drive-trains.
What if arguably some of the best WWII tank designs are mixed to produce the BEST ONE.
Well, as the TOW Panther is entirely fictional, it seems likely it wasnever 'tested'.

I find it remarkable that you both came up with the same fin protecting armour sheets at the rear of the launcher. Spooky, parallel evolution? I prefer your's Greg with the slightly sloped ends to those pieces of armour though.

A design I'd like to tackle someday, Czech post-war proposal to fit 150mm or 152mm howitzers onto recovered Panther hulls.
