The Pz V Panther’s Achilles heel didn’t have anything to do with the enemy. It’s lousy transmission was it’s down fall.

And the overlapping road wheels. To get to one you had to remove two. If you want to see what kind of punishment a Panther could take and keep it’s crew alive google “Tank Duel At The Colonge Cathedral March 1945’’. A Panther takes three hits from a M-26 Pershing’s 90mm gun and the crew can be seen bailing out.
