From what I read the 75 mm on the Panther had better armor penetrating performance than the Tiger I’s 88 mm.

Download World Of Tanks or War Thunder and try one out yourself ,LOL

Depends on the Ammo. If it was manufactured by a few, select factories, the 75mm ammo out-shot, out-penetrated, and was more reliable. Towards 1944 and 45, the tank ammo was less reliable, more brittle, less accurate, and about 5-10% were sabotaged during the smelting process of AP rounds by slave workers.

I get grief on WOT since I bought an IS6 on special since I got tired of being sent up against bigger and better than me.

A few times recently I played and a couple of them said I shouldn’t be there since I am not a hundreds of missions player. At least one chimed in with his money his choice. I can understand where people are coming from but I never got hit was anything in terms of restrictions or levels when I shopped the store.

As a former 19K (ARNG) I have at best a 40% success rate. I was only a driver.

Depends on whether it as a 88L or 88LL — caliber made the difference.
