Thanks for correcting me, yes you are right! Panther tank frontal armor is sloped at 35 degrees and not 60 degrees. My bad 🙂
However, I didn’t exactly “answer my own question” as I just clarified the advantages and the disadvantages for both tanks.. as I believe that none of them is necessarily better than the other one.
I believe however that the Panther should be cheaper based on a very solid fact…
Obviously, the Panther tank costed around 117,100 Reichmarks, and therefore they were able to produce more Panthers (about 6,000 were built) while the Tiger tank costed 250,800 Reichmarks on the other hand, therefore the Germans were unable to produce as much numbers but only about 1,300 units were built.
So, again… I was wrong about the frontal armor of the Panther. Yet, I do still have a strong point regarding the price of Panthers in comparison to Tigers 😉
