In reality the Tiger had thicker armor but the Panther had the advantage of slooped armor which nearly doubled its armor. The Tiger had a 8.8cm KwK L/56 gun whilst the Panther had a 7.5 cm KwK L/70 gun, which had better penetration capabilites than the 8.8 cm KwK L/56. That´s why the Panther was kept in production and the Tiger I were retired, not to mention the fact that the Panther were more cost-effective to produce.

Perhaps... however the two German "tanks" with most kills, were the STuG III Ausf. A-G and the not so much hyped, Pz.Kpfw. IV Ausf. A-H medium tanks.
And don´t forget that most Allied war reporters tended to name every knocked out German tank as a Tiger, or their own tank losses as "being knocked out by a Tiger". I´ve a book filled with pictures of German tank losses during the Normandy Campaign, and in every case where you see a Pz.Kpfw. IV/Panther wreck, the reporter has written "Yet another Tiger tank knocked out".

Yes, and looks at the distance a Panzer IV / H similar, and even a tiger meistenst whom the Allies a Panzer IV / H saw they thought it would be a tiger!

Sources for that. Dont forget the Tiger has the psychological factor on its side. When it comes to numbes there have been far more Panthers in services compared to Tigers.
