Panther G |
||||||||
The Panther G is
possibly the best tank from WWII. Once its known defects were overcome,
including its tendency to 'brew up', it was widely recognised by the purists as
the best tank of World War II. It had good armour and an excellent 75mm high
velocity gun that had even better penetrating power than the 88mm gun in the
Tiger 1. It was also highly manoeuvrable and like all German tanks it also
had the best optics of the day. Altogether this meant that the Panther an
awesome foe. Over 6000 were manufactured. With hindsight, had the Germans
built only Panthers and not Tigers (luckily for us they didn't), they would
have had the capacity to produce over 10,000 of them! That might have at
least lengthened the war. So Mr Hitler made a 'right' decision when he went
for those impressive but overly complicated Tigers! As in real life the
Panther model is more manoeuvrable than a Tiger. This shows up in their
superior climbing ability that is mainly down to their better design of
track. I have seen one climb a 70 degree slope easily! |
