Lower tiers will have trouble penetrating the front of the Panther due to its excellent sloping, and rather large gun mantlet (for both turrets), however it should avoid taking hits from more powerful guns as it is more prone than usual to taking critical hits, especially engine and ammo rack. The Panther excels as a mobile sniper, especially with the 7,5cm L/100, and should not brawl as it does not quite have the maneuverability to effectively circle heavy tanks. Take on your foes from a distance in the Panther as the more maneuverable American and Soviet mediums are better suited to dog-fighting. Coupled with its speed and highly accurate guns it turns into a very deadly sniper. One thing that changes from the stock panther turret is the shot trap on the VK 30.02(M) turret was blocked with a small plate below the mantlet. The Panther is a basically the VK 30.02(M) with more health and a better sniping gun. Very poor concealment for its intended role.Fast and rather heavy, good at ramming lighter and weakly armored tanks.Large health pool for a medium tank, comparable to (or even higher than) same-tier HTs.The L/100 gun has outstanding penetration, and is also very accurate.The Panther shines as an excellent mobile-sniper, but as top tier can contribute on the front lines as well. While it has a low damage totals, and a fairly slow rate of fire for a 75mm gun, it can penetrate virtually all lower tier tanks from any range, as well as higher tier opponents with well aimed shots. Once the Panther is fully upgraded and sporting the long, accurate 7.5 cm KwK 45 L/100, it's one of the best sniping tanks in tier. Its lack of firepower, added to the weak hull sides, make this tank an easy victim in firefights. At stock, the Panther is armed with the 7.5 cm KwK 42 L/70 which, although a bit low on damage, has sufficient penetration and accuracy for its tier. Upon reaching the Panther, you will quickly find that the inherited sniper playstyle still applies. This famous tank was produced from January 1943 through April 1945, with a total of 5,796 vehicles built plus eight vehicles built on the F series chassis. The Panther is a German tier 7 medium tank.
