WWII Question
Do you think Germany would've been more successful on the Eastern and Western fronts if they had halted production of the Tiger and instead mass-produced Panthers?

2 RepliesHalting production on the Tiger would have been a terrible mistake. The Panther's side and rear armor were terrible weak so the Panther was built more as an offensive tank. Also, the Tiger more or less filled in the role of the "superior German tank" from 1942 to the end of 1943. The Tiger tank also contributed greatly on static areas such as by Leningrad. Not to mention that the Panther was plagued with technical problems until 1944. Hell, one could say that the Panther cost the Germans the entire war as it delayed the operation of Operation Zitadelle and gave the Soviets plenty of time to construct the strongest defensive lines in history.
