History: The Panther entered service in 1943 and quickly proved its worth on the Eastern Front, excelling against Soviet armour. Its long-barrelled 75mm gun could penetrate most Allied tanks, while its sloped armour provided excellent defensive capability. Despite mechanical issues in early production, improvements through variants A, G, and others solidified its reputation. The Panther served until the end of the war, notably in battles such as Kursk and the Ardennes Offensive, and remains one of the most celebrated tanks in military history.
