[About the actual vehicle]
- Among the German tanks that appeared in World War II, the Panzer V Panther is considered to be the most well-balanced tank in terms of attack and defense.

- The hull is characterized by sloped armor, and the main gun is equipped with a 70 caliber 7.5cm gun.
- It was equipped with a Maybach HL230V 12-cylinder gasoline engine.
- Among the various types produced, the G type began production in March 1944, and was essentially the final production type of Panther tank.
- Also, from the middle of the war onward, the inferior German Air Force gradually lost its air superiority, and tank units on the ground were exposed to attacks from Allied aircraft.
- For this reason, additional armor for anti-aircraft defense was added to the top of the turret and engine room.
