Panzer V Panther Tank

The Panther was a tank fielded by Germany in World War II that served from mid-1943 to the end of the European war in 1945. It was intended as a counter to the T-34, and to replace the Panzer IV and III, though it served along with them and the heavy tanks until the end of the war. The Panther's excellent combination of firepower, mobility, and protection served as a benchmark for other nations' late war and immediate post-war tank designs and it is frequently regarded (along with the Soviet T-34-85) as the best tank design of World War II.

And someone here said that the Panther is Germanys mmost produced medium tank. Wrong. The Panzer 4 is Germanys most produced medium tank, and served until the end of the war (Panzer 4 H model).

No, the most produced German tank was Trabant.

@SMGJohn Officially? Medium tank. You don't actually know the standards of either country because the weight doesn't determine a tank's class as much as its capabilities do.

[SMGJohn]

@MultiAREE Panther would be a Heavy tanks in Soviet standards. And T-34 was a light tanks in German standards

[MultiAREE]

@SMGJohn Yeah... because the Russians were using a combination of heavy and medium tanks to assault German positions.

And the Panther is a medium tank.

[SMGJohn]

@MultiAREE But Hitler said that the Panther had to be more heavy armored when he first reviewed the first Panther prototype

[MultiAREE]

@SMGJohn REALLY? All he did was put orders on manufacturers asking for tanks that would fill the right roles in the war.

@vlad9vt well but the kill ratio shows also that on the eastern front for every killed tiger up to 20 russian tanks got shot up

[TheLordZhufor]

@lolololololololtoast it was able to do so

but the tigers 88 could penetrate a t34 or sherman on ranges over 2000m

the pak 40 could not

the panthers gun was in the same range as the tigers

[SMGJohn]

Hitler is the man who made all German tanks heavy armored. Good job Hitler you had a brain enough to understand that tanks had to be heavily armored

[lolololololololtoast]

I thought the Panzer 4's gun was capable of firing up to 2000 meters,
