![]() ![]() Although the turret cheek of all Panther medium tanks is a well-known weak spot, engaging the enemy from a mid- to long-distance can greatly mitigate this weakness because the enemy will struggle to effectively penetrate the weak spot as engagement distance increases. Panther G's survivability is excellent when played to its strengths in long-range engagement avoid brawling with enemy tanks unless absolutely necessary. The Panther G has excellent frontal armour, which can protect the crew from many of the kinetic shells found in this BR range (with the exception of chemical shells and large calibre kinetic shells). The players can also use a commander's cupola-mounted MG34 light machine gun as a deterrence to hostile low-flying aircraft. The gun mantlet is also slightly modified, lowering the likelihood of successful enemy penetration into the turret crew compartment. The Panther G's gameplay experience is quite identical to Panther A's, however, the maximum speed is slightly lower. It was the most produced Panther variant, accounting for 2,961 of the total number of around 6,000 Panther tanks constructed during World War II. Introduced in the Closed Beta Test for Ground Forces before Update 1.41, the Panther G is part of the next generation of medium tanks that officially superseded the Panzer IVs in World War II. On September 9, 1944, factories received orders to cease using Zimmerit due to evidence that it had caused tank fires and a lack of confirmation of magnetic mine use by the Soviets and the Allied infantry. These were subsequently replaced by purpose-built Flammenvernichter flame suppressor exhaust mufflers beginning in October 1944. Sheet metal coverings were gradually introduced beginning in June 1944 as a temporary remedy to assist in decreasing the red glow given off by the exhaust pipes at night. ![]() The ventilation systems for the transmission, brakes, engine, and exhaust were redesigned, and the two parallel vertical pipes that emerged from the exhaust cover at the back of the Panther A tank hull were no longer required. ![]() Many other small improvements were made, but the general goal of the design was to simplify the manufacturing process so that more tanks could be produced as quickly as possible. However, this added weight to the Panther, which was already overweight, so the lower frontal armour plate and hull belly armour plate thickness were reduced to compensate. The most visible difference between the Panther G and the Panther A was a small increase in the thickness of the hull side armour plate to counter infantry anti-tank weapons. The letter G was used to signify that this batch of tanks had a new, modified chassis. 171) is the third production variant of the iconic Panzerkampfwagen V Panther medium tank family.
