Bolt Action: German Panther Zug
The Panther was the best all-around German tank of the war and although conceived as a medium tank; at 45 tons and with frontal armour over 100mm thick; it could easily be rated more highly.
The Panther's thick; sloping front armour was copied from the Russian T-34 but the main gun was a weapon that far excelled anything the Russians possessed; the high-velocity KwK 42 L70; which was capable of penetrating any Allied tank in service when it was first introduced.
This is the second version of the tank; built from mid-1943 onwards; it saw action on both Eastern and Western fronts. Bizarrely the marques did not follow alphabetical order. Changes on the original Panther include a redesigned hull machine gun and a commanders cupola.
