Team : Schwalbenheim Kingdom # Panther G Role : Medium Tank ## [General information](/md/rv/vehicles/panther-g.md#general-information) Description : The **Panther G** is a Medium Tank and the final major production variant of the German **Panther** series, built from March 1944 until the end of the Second World War. The Ausf. G introduced a simplified hull with a single-piece side plate, improved driver's hatch, and chin mantlet to reduce shot traps; over 2,900 were produced, seeing heavy use on both Eastern and Western Fronts. The 44.3 t tracked vehicle is crewed by five — driver, gunner, bow gunner, commander, and loader — and is powered by a **MB HL230 P30** petrol engine producing 600 hp for 13.5 hp/t and a top speed of 46 km/h, with neutral steering for tactical maneuvering. Main armament is the long-barreled **75 mm KwK42** firing AP and HE, supported by three **7.92 mm MG34** machine guns (coaxial, bow, and commander's cupola). The gunner has a 2.5x/5x telescope sight with no rangefinder or stabilizer; the commander and bow positions have stabilizers, and smoke grenades are fitted for defensive screening.
