Notes: After the mechanical bugs were worked out on earlier versions of the Panther, the Panther Vg emerged as one of the best tanks of the war. Excellent frontal protection and firepower combined to make this vehicle one of the most effective produced. The Panther G served in large numbers on all late-war fronts.
