The engine of the "Black Panther" is the same as that of the "King Tiger", with strong frontal armor, excellent firepower, and proper weight, making it better on road and off-road than the "Tiger" tank.

The "Black Panther" has relatively weak side protection and can withstand long-range shots from Allied tanks, but will be penetrated at close range.

In addition, the firepower of the 75mm artillery is slightly smaller than that of the "Tiger" 88mm artillery, and the corresponding strike power of high-explosive shells against infantry is also weakened, but it is still quite effective.

The cost of the "Black Panther" is cheaper than that of the "Tiger", and only slightly more expensive than the Type 4 tank.

For the design of the "Black Panther", the armor and transmission system have been simplified accordingly to improve production efficiency and material shortage, while the engine and suspension system are still very complex.

The end result was that the Panther tank produced far more than the Tiger tank, and only less than the Type IV.

However, due to the simplified transmission structure, the "Black Panther" failed frequently until the end of the war.
