All very important, until the mighty Panther would break down.

The optics would then be used between the two to establish how much time they have to run away before the hundreds of T-34's which they see would close in.
Nice reply, you are out of sorts today. I want you to know that I expect better.

When the panther would break down, which was generally fixed by late 43, no self respecting T-34 commander is going to run up to them, because that big gun didn't break. Yes if they could go around and flank him and his other compadres, they would do that as a tank unit. More probably you would have a busted down Tiger than a Panther. Although they may also taken the run option, during Bagration or another large offensive when running was the game.
