I completed the field testing. The Panther wins in the head to head matches. It can penetrate the Tiger's front hull at 115 meters while the Tiger must be at 110 meters to do the same. From the side the Tiger wins at 140 meters vs the Panther's 130m. From the rear, the Tiger wins at 145m while the Panther is close at 140 meters. It looks very close to me. The Panther is faster but even more importantly, it has a third more fuel and is more economical over the same distance. It looks like the Panther wins to me. The only problem I have with it, is that the AI tends to make foolish mistakes with it. It always seems to turn it's rear towards an anti-tank weapon. Is this my bad luck or have others experienced this?
