"Panther" is the general name of a medium tank used by Nazi Germany during World War II and in service from mid-1943 until the end of the war. armor-piercing weapons, in general, was lighter and, therefore, faster, and could better overcome the crossed terrain than the "Tigers".
The compromise was weaker side armor; The Panther proved to be deadly in open terrain and when firing at long range, but vulnerable in close combat.
In addition, the 75mm gun fired a slightly smaller projectile than the Tiger's 88mm gun, which provided less high-explosive firepower against infantry, although it was still quite effective.
