Was The German Panther Really The Best Tank Of WW2?

During World War II, the German Panther tank was certainly one of the most feared machines the Allies encountered on the European battlefields. From 1943 through 1945, it was used to great and horrifying effect on both the Western and Eastern Fronts. Both the men who built it and the men who fought against it regarded it as one of the best tanks ever built. The Panther tank was not as highly armoured or equipped as other tanks (such as the Tiger), but it was deemed superior because it was perfectly balanced. The Panther was one of the Germans' fastest tanks; it manoeuvred significantly better than other tanks, and its guns were extremely accurate and precise. However, The Panther has developed a mythology that is out of all proportion to its actual effectiveness as a weapon of war. Let's try to cut through the hype, to see how good this renowned German tank was in reality.
