Panther tank, officially with Panzerkampfwagen v Panther (Abbreviated PZKPFW V) with ammunition inventory definition: SD.KFZ. 171 is a German middle tank of the Second World War. It was used in the Eastern and Western fronts from the middle of 1943 to May 1945 until the end of the war.
On February 27, 1944, Hitler was renamed only as PZKPFW Panther, as Romanian ordered the deletion of "V". [Quote required] In contemporary English reports, it is sometimes referred to as "Mark V".
The Panther was designed to resist the Soviet T-34 Middle Tank and replace Panzer III and Panzer IV. However, until the end of the war, he served with Panzer IV and heavier Tiger I. Although its reliability was less impressive in the early days, due to excellent firepower, protection and mobility, II. He is considered one of the best tanks of World War II.
Panther was a compromise. Although Tiger I had the same Maybach V12 gasoline (690 hp) engine, it had better ball crazy, lighter and faster, and the rugged land could pass better than Tiger I. He made it open to fire. Panther proved to be effective in open land and long -range conflicts.
It was much cheaper than Tiger I to produce Panther. The basic elements of Panther design, such as armor, transmission and final drive, were simplifications made to improve production rates and to eliminate raw material scarcity. Nevertheless, the general design continues to be defined by some "extreme engineering". In the summer of 1943, Panther entered the war despite many unresolved technical problems in the Battle of Kursk and led to high losses due to mechanical failure. Most of the design defects were resolved in late 1943 and early 1944. However, the bombing of production facilities, increasing high -quality alloy scarcity for critical components, shortage of fuel and educational fields and decreasing crew quality affected the effectiveness of the tank.
Although it was officially classified as a middle tank, it was closer to a heavy tank weight with a weight of 44.8 metric tons and was in the same category as American M26 Pershing (41.7 tons), British Churchill (40.7 tons) and Sovyet IS-2 (46 tons). ) heavy tanks. The weight of Panther caused logistics problems such as inability to cross certain bridges, otherwise the tank had a very high power-extension rate, which made it very active.
The naming of Panther production variants did not follow the alphabetical order, unlike most German tanks: the first variant Panther "D" (Ausf. D), then "A" and "G" variants came.
