What advantages did the German Panther tank have over the T34 in World War II

The T34 85 medium tank is equipped with an 85 mm 56 caliber ZIS S-53 tank gun, which is so powerful that it can penetrate 102 mm of steel plate at 1,000 meters (110 mm when using armor fragmentation shells), which is far stronger than the American M4 Sherman medium tank (89 mm for the M4), and in a firefight with the IV heavy tank, it even overturned the IV's turret to 5 meters away, which shows the horror of the power, and he is also the most feared opponent of the German army. Because at that time, no German tank could withstand his fatal blow (before the appearance of the Tiger and Panther tanks). The 85 mm tank gun was also used by the Soviets on the KV85 tank, and it also became a terrifying tank killer, and this 85 mm tank gun was used by the Soviet army until 1974, which also illustrates the power of the T34 85 tank.

And the 85mm tank gun was also the most feared medium tank gun of the German army in World War II. The T34 tank also has a 2 mm Mark core is a heavy machine gun, which has strong melee capabilities, and even the German anti-tank infantry is difficult to approach the T34 tank (the German anti-tank infantry is the elite of the paratroopers).

The V Panther medium tank is equipped with a 75 mm 70kwk 42 tank gun, although the caliber of this gun is small, but the power is very terrifying, it can directly penetrate 140 mm armor at 1000 meters, and the power is more terrifying than the 85 mm tank gun of the T34 85, and at the same time, he has become the most feared tank of the Soviet army like the T34 85 (the Allies and Soviet tank crews fear him even more than the fear of the VI Tiger tank); It can be seen how strong it is. There was an example of a battle, it was 3 Black Panther A) set up an ambush on the road to Paris (1944), and destroyed a total of 21 MAA3 (76) W tanks and 8 jeeps and 5 M36 destroyers of the passing American army, without any damage of their own (they were at a distance of 850 meters **, the American tanks fired 8 shots on the side armor of the Panther, all of them were **, while the Panthers could penetrate the M4A3 (76) W76 mm with only one shot Tilt 45 degrees (equivalent to 96 mm steel plate), This was even more frightening to the Americans, and the 75mm KWK 42 was used by the Germans until 1962 (the Leopard 1A5 still existed as a 75mm gun against small tanks and armored vehicles), and the Panthers were used by many countries (including Britain and France) for a long time because of their firepower

Equipped with a radio station, the tank gun has strong armor-piercing ability, the armor is thicker than that of the T-34, and the technology is advanced, especially the later model is equipped with an infrared system that can fight at night.

The main gun and sighting system are much better than those of the T34. The front armor is also better than the T34.

Failure of the travel system (specifically the load-bearing wheels) and powertrain.

Because the load wheels of German tanks in World War II were staggered, the support shafts of the entire load wheel system were twice as many as those of tanks with load wheels arranged in parallel, although the load was more uniform, but the system was complex and more prone to failure, and it was difficult to repair and maintain under field conditions.

The powertrain is because the German tank used a gasoline engine in the early days of World War II, and the poor low-temperature performance led to frequent failures in the Soviet-German battlefield on the Eastern Front, and although the Germans' products were exquisite and accurate, the cost of excessive processes remained high, on the contrary, the T-34 of the Soviet Army was a typical cost-effective product in time, and all parts and components could be completed by a tractor factory. This allowed the Soviet tank corps to use the "open sea tactics" to defeat the German armored divisions that were better equipped but not enough in number.

The most common failure of German tanks was lack of power. This phenomenon occurred because the German army did not refine enough diesel fuel and could only use gasoline engines.

The most common problem of the German tank Panthers in World War II was that fuel was very expensive, and logistics were very difficult.

After statistics, it was found that the most prone to failure of the German Panther tank was the engine and gearbox, which may be related to the overweight of the Panther tank.

The most common failure of German tanks and Panthers in World War II is what is called the inspection by the relevant departments with instruments? Seeing that he is out of order, give him a repair.

I don't know anything about the structure of tanks, I have played with tanks in the computer, I have seen tanks in museums, Leopard tanks, Tiger tanks, and Rat tanks in World War II, and I have seen them in movies, and that's all I know.

On July 5, 1943, 250 Panther D(D1) took part in the Battle of Kursk. On the first day, 192 Panthers took part in the attack, but only 40 Panthers survived that day due to frequent mechanical failures and an ambush at a minefield. On the battlefield, the Panther D tank exposed the serious unreliability of the mechanics, especially the design problems of the gearbox were difficult to overcome.

Only 534 examples of the Panther D were produced, and in August 1943 a new Panther A was put into production, which improved a number of mechanical problems.

If there is a problem with the tank, you can check the fault of the tank and solve the problem.

In terms of quality alone, the Leopard is several notches stronger than the T-34.

In terms of quantity, it is completely lost.

The Leopard tank adheres to the characteristics of the Germans, the structure is complex, the maintenance is inconvenient, but the protection is excellent, the chassis reliability is high (except for the engine), the firepower is fierce, the 75mm KWK42 L70 gun, the 70 times the caliber barrel, the armor-piercing ability is strong, the protection ability is outstanding, the front armor can reach 80mm 60 degrees of inclination, the probability of ricochet is greatly increased, the Soviets once took a captured Leopard to do shooting experiments, and as a result, the T-34-76 shells hit more than 60 rounds, Only one shot hit the weld point of the chassis to cause penetration, and the rest all ricocheted, which shows the strength of the protection.

In contrast, the structure of the T-34 is simple, convenient to manufacture in large quantities, and it is quite easy to drive, it is said that you can drive a tractor You can drive a tank The German tank is much more complicated to drive, because the gearbox is too complicated, and there are too many gears, so the T-34 structure is quite simple, and it is easy to maintain, and the reliability is very high, but the protection and firepower are not as good as the Leopard tank, although it can cause ricochets after being hit, but after all, the armor is weak, and the consequences of the destruction of the car are basically inevitable when encountering the Tiger 88mm gun, But the advantage lies in the fact that it can produce in large quantities Facts have also proved that more people is more power

The T34 and the Leopard have a different design concept. Therefore, the cost of the two at that time was also different. The T34 is only a fraction of the cost of the Leopard.

Therefore, after the T34 is produced, as long as you destroy a Leopard, it is worth the price. And the Leopard has to destroy a few T34s before you can show its value.

The Leopard is much stronger, it is not a product of the era, it cannot be compared, a Leopard tank can be worth 20 T34s

Leopard WWII also has this model! It's the only Tiger tank class!

It's an era!

In the era of World War II, the Leopard was stronger than the T34!

The Leopard is indeed much stronger than the T34, the Leopard, like the German heavy tank, attaches great importance to protection, is much heavier than the T34, and the armor defense far exceeds the T34, and the general anti-tank fire of the Allies can hardly pose a threat to the frontal armor of the Leopard. Secondly, the Leopard firepower is also very powerful, the power of the long-barreled 75-mm gun not only exceeds the T34's early 76-mm gun, but the power of the tank is almost the same as the T34's 85-mm short-barreled gun, and even stronger, with higher accuracy, the only obvious deficiency is that the mobility is average, and it is a gasoline engine, which is easy **. Although in the Soviet-German battlefield it was ultimately a great victory for the Soviet armored forces, it was based on the unlimited number of equipment and resource superiority of the Soviets in the war of attrition, which was also the reason why the Germans were bound to lose the war against the Soviet Union.

They are a product of the times, T34 is the second Soviet Union in World War II equipped and produced the largest number of tanks, more than 50,000 volume, at that time the guiding ideology of the Soviet Army is to facilitate large-scale maintenance and production, so the quality of T34 is not very good. Germany is different, paying attention to quality and precision, so the leopard tank is very successful in every aspect, the only bad is that it cannot be mass-produced, and maintenance is troublesome. The Soviet army often used 5 medium T34 to fight a Leopard.

The upstairs statement of 1 to 20 is inaccurate, it should be 1 to 5. There is no doubt that the German Leopard and Tiger were the best tanks of World War II.

The Leopard tank is much better than the T34, although both have beveled armor But the firepower of the Leopard is much higher than that of the T34, and the later T34 85, but the mobility of the Leopard is poor, usually in tank battles, the T34 loses a lot, and the Leopard only loses a few vehicles. The T34 of the Soviet army won only by numbers. But in the winter of the USSR, the maneuverability of the T34 came into play, and it lived up to the nickname of the king of the snow.

In short, if you want to win tank battles, choose the Leopard, and if you want to win the war, choose the T34. Note: The t in t34 is read in Russian.

The advantages and disadvantages of the Leopard tank of Nazi Germany in World War II are briefly listed as follows:

1) Advantages: 1) Firepower: A KWK42 75mm gun, which provides strong firepower and has excellent armor-piercing effect.

Leopard tank ace Ernst Backman even believes that the overall performance of the Leopard 75mm gun is superior to that of the Tiger 88mm gun, mainly due to the advantage in the rate of fire).

2) Protection: The inclined armor imitated from the Soviet T-34 tank greatly improves the frontal protection of the tank turret.

3) Maneuverability: The Leopard tank benefits from large load-bearing wheels and wide tracks, can reach speeds of more than 40 kilometers per hour, has good cross-country performance, and is able to adapt to "defensive combat operations". (At that time, the combat tactics of the Leopard tank were mainly to fire a shot, then quickly reverse, and then look for an opportunity to attack again).

2) Disadvantages: 1) Complex suspension system (which became almost a common problem for German medium and heavy tanks), which led to high cost and time-consuming maintenance. (The cost and man-hours of the Leopard tank determine that it cannot be mass-produced quickly, and it is difficult to form a large scale).

2) Leopard tanks of the early model, the engine was prone to overheating and **, and the later model effectively improved the situation.

3) The operation is more complicated, and generally only the more experienced tank crew can give full play to the combat effectiveness of the Leopard tank.

4) The design of the top cover of the previous model is mediocre, which has an impact on the captain's vision, but it is not serious.

The most famous ace tanker who wielded the Panther was Ernest. Buckman, who was attached to the 2nd Panzer Regiment of the 2nd Panzer Regiment of the 4th SS Panzer Division "Reich", fought in Normandy.

During the battle, in order to deal with the "Eye Snake" battle launched by the Allies, he fought desperately against the Allies, and his own tank was repeatedly damaged by the Allies, but he brought great disasters to the Allied tanks - he personally knocked them out in the battle.

More than 30 "Sherman" tanks, but his own tank was also hit **, Ernest. Buckman and his tank crew managed to escape back to the German base on foot. For his outstanding performance, he was awarded the "Knight of the Iron Cross".

On September 13, 1943, the Waffen-SS 2nd Panzer Division "Reich Division".

Seven Panthers of the 1st Battalion of the 2nd Panzer Regiment were led by Captain Holzer (turret number 101) at Kolomak

35 degrees 18 minutes east longitude) encountered 70 T-34s, destroyed 28 T-34s after 20 minutes of fighting without their own losses. July 28-29, 1944 in Poland.

In the battle near Siedlce, a city east of Warsaw, located at 52°09' N, 22°16' E, the 2nd Battalion of the 5th Panzer Regiment of the 5th Waffen-SS Panzer Division destroyed 107 Soviet tanks, including T-34, M4 Sherman, and Valentine, at the cost of 6 tanks (1 4HOA tank and 5 Panthers). The most famous Panther tank ace was Ernst of the Imperial Division.

Ernst Barkmann, whose exploits on the Western Front, especially in Normandy and the Ardennes, led him to the Knight's Cross, until he was captured, about 80 tanks of various types were destroyed. Buckman was a legend who served as a fire chief and mayor of Kis Dorf for a long time after the war
