概述：

The Pz.Kpfw. V Ausf. D (Panther D) is a rank III German medium Tank with a battle rating of 5.7 (AB) and 5.3 (RB/SB). It was introduced during the Closed Beta Test for Ground Forces before Update 1.41. Beginning a new generation of German Tanks, the Panther medium Tank was one of the most iconic Tanks of World War II with its high velocity 75 mm gun and heavy front sloping armour.

五号坦克D型“豹”(豹式坦克D型)是德国III级中型坦克，权重为5.7 (街机)和5.3 (历史/全真)。它是在1.41更新前的地面部队内测中引入的。作为德国新一代坦克的开端，豹式中型坦克是二战中最具代表性的坦克之一，拥有75毫米高速坦克炮和厚重的前倾斜装甲。

The Panther is not like the Panzer IV you have become accustomed to in the line-up. The Panther D was historically made for long range combat with its long 75 mm KwK 42 gun. Close distance is not the greatest ally for the Panther, with its weak side armour and gun mantlet, it can be easily penetrated by most other Tanks at its rank if they can hit these points. Also, the slow turret traverse speed makes it easy for enemy Tanks to flank the Panther, therefore close-quarter combat should be avoided if possible. Thus, Panther should be played with a self-established "safe boundary" around the Tank to stay safe from flankers. Despite that, as a front brawler, it excels due to the strong front armour and speed.

豹豹可不像你已经开惯了的四号坦克。历史上，豹D是用它的75毫米 KwK 42坦克炮远距离狙人的。近战对于豹式坦克来说并不是很好，因为它的侧面装甲和炮盾很薄，如果被击中这些位置，它很容易被大多数的同级坦克淦穿。此外，缓慢的炮塔转速使得敌方坦克很容易绕侧，因此豹D应该尽量避免近战。因此，豹豹应该在坦克周围自行建立“安全带”，以避免敌人从侧翼攻击。尽管如此，作为一名正面斗士，它的优势在于厚重的前装甲和优秀的速度。

UsAGe in battles (安东哥教你开坦克)

The Panther has a much stronger front glacis armour than its heavy Tank companion Tiger I, with ~140 mm effective thickness with sloping compared to the Tiger's 100 mm armour. However, only the frontal glacis is nigh impenetrable, the side armour and turret are very vulnerable and care must be taken to keep this safe.

豹式有比它的伙伴虎式重型坦克更强的首上装甲，与虎式的100毫米装甲相比，豹式坦克倾斜装甲有~140毫米的等效厚度。然而，豹式只有正面的倾斜装甲是特别靠谱的，它的侧面装甲和炮塔很脆，必须小心行事，以确保豹豹的安全。

One method is to exploit the Panther's long gun range with distance. Fight from a long distance from 800 m to 2,000 m away. At this range, the enemy's gun shells will lose most of their penetrative potential compared to the Panther's gun and will (hopefully) not be able to penetrate the Panther's weak point on the turret, plus you have the benefit of their lower aim accuracy due to distance. Of course, this scenario is very unlikely given the more close-oriented maps and games in War Thunder, so let's get to the alternative tactic...

一种打法是利用豹式坦克的射程远的优势。在800米到2000米的距离对炮。在这个射程范围内，敌方的炮弹与豹式相比会丧失大部分穿透力，并且(希望)不能击穿豹式坦克在炮塔上的弱点，另外，由于距离的关系，敌人的精度较低。当然，考虑到《蜗丧德》中近距离对战的地图和游戏，这种情况是不太可能发生的，所以让我们来看看替代策略……

In a more close-range tactic, stay with your allies. Allies will help you by covering your weak points on your sides. If you advance too far from your allies, the likelihood of your Tank ending in a fiery ammunition explosion increases exponentially. Even in a close-range battle, try to maintain distance Between you and the enemy Tank to prevent them from easily flanking you and keep a range advantAGe to keep your weak points as hard to hit as possible. The slow turret traverse will also be a lower drawback at a longer range as you will not need to turn your turret as much to aim at different targets. Stay near the rear of the line while more mobile and AGgressive allies charge forward and attract the enemy's attention so you can get the jump on them.

近距离的打法：和你的队友呆在一起。队友会帮助你，掩护你的弱点（但我咋感觉德棍们只会盯着眼前看啊）。如果你和你的队友走远了，你的坦克以一场轰轰烈烈的豹炸收场的概率会大大增加。即使在近距离战斗中，也要尽量保持你和敌人坦克之间的距离，以防止他们轻易地从侧翼攻击你，保持距离优势，以降低敌人打到你的弱点的几率。与此同时，颈椎病的问题也会得到一定程度的缓解，因为在较远的距离，你将不需要大幅度转动你的炮塔来瞄准不同的目标。待在后方，让机动性更好和更能闯的的队友向前冲锋，吸引敌人的注意，这样你就可以把敌人一一点杀。

 

优点和缺点

优点:

• Excellent cannon has a range of ammo for any type of enemy: great stock AP for common targets (eg. T-34-85, M4 Sherman or even the M4A3E2), piercing APCR for early cold war Tanks (eg. M26, T-44, early Centurions) and HE for light vehicles. Great accuracy and velocity allows easy long-range sniping. Plenty of ammo capacity allows flexible ammo setups. 

• 优秀的火炮在打任何类型的敌人都有适合的特定弹种:对普通目标(例如:T-34-85, M4谢尔曼，甚至是M4A3E2)用白班AP，打冷战早期坦克(例如。M26, T-44，早期的百夫长)用APCR（译者注：豹D没有APCR)，对付轻型车辆时切HE。坦克炮精度高，初速高，远距离狙击就是很容易了。豹豹可携带弹药基数大，因此可以灵活搭配选择弹种（译者注：在安东星里炮弹别带多了，否则被击穿后易殉爆）。

• Heavily armoured frontal hull is immune to most guns at its battle rating, e.g. the 85mm D5T or 76mm M1.

• 正面车体的厚重装甲免疫和它同权重的大多数火炮，例如85毫米 D5T或76毫米 M1。

• Fast top speed, good hull traverse. Can get to positions in time.

• 前进极速高，良好的车体横向转向速度。能及时到达指定位置。

• Adequate gun depression of -8° adapts most terrains well.

• -8°的足够俯角适用于大部分地形。

• Reasonably cheap repair cost

• 相当便宜的维修费

• Has a wide range of good-looking camouflAGe to unlock. Suitable for almost every terrain / map.

• 有很多可解锁的高颜值涂装。收集全后几乎适用于所有地形/地图。

• Gun mantlet tends to sometimes absorb shells

• 炮盾有时会吞炮弹

缺点:

• Gun mantlet is only 100 mm thick, a huge and well-known weak spot to shoot at.

• 炮盾只有100毫米厚，这是一个众所周知的巨大弱点。

• Very poor turret traverse making it hard to respond to flankers or to get the gun on target. For close-quarter combat, great situational awareness and fast reaction is required which isn't beginner friendly.

• 炮塔转速非常慢，这使它很难对绕侧的敌人做出反应或将火炮对准目标。在近距离战斗中，需要良好的态势感知和快速反应能力，这对新手来说并不友好。

• Side ammo racks are prone to detonation when hit.

• 车体侧弹药架被击中后很容易豹炸。

• Terrible reverse speed of only -4 km/h, can get the player killed.

• 十分垃圾的倒车速度，只有-4公里/小时，这可以直接害死玩家。

• Weak side armour gets penetrated easily by Russian APHEBC (eg. BR-365A, BR-471). Cannot angle too much.

• 薄弱的侧装甲很容易被苏联的APHEBC。（例如：BR-365A, BR-471)(译者注：此处应为BR-471B)。摆角度时别摆大了。

• Lower glacis often catches fire or brakes transmission when penetrated, leaving the Tank immobile and vulnerable.

• 被穿裤裆时经常着火或坏传动，使坦克无法移动并易受攻击。

• High profile for a medium Tank makes it harder to hide.

• 对于一辆中型坦克而言体积太大了，这使得它藏起来很费劲。

• Roof armour of 16 mm is vulnerable to M2 Brownings which are widely seen on American planes. 

• 16毫米的车顶装甲会被M2勃朗宁舔穿，M2在美国飞机上很常见。

• Although heavily armoured, it can still get frontally penetrated and one-shot easily by a rather common Tank:IS-2. 

• 尽管装甲很厚，但豹式坦克仍然可以被一辆很常见的坦克从正面击穿，它就是:IS-2。

• The small calibre of the gun means the main APCBC shell has rather small amounts of explosive filler, resulting in it often being unable to one shot enemies.

• 火炮口径小意味着主打的APCBC的炸药填充量相当少，这导致它会经常一发淦不死敌人。

• Gun mantlet traps shots (shells may deflect into the hull roof weak armour).

• 炮盾有窝弹区(炮弹可能会偏转到车体顶部薄弱装甲)。

历史

发展

The Panther development started as far back as 1938 as a replacement to the Panzer IIIs and Panzer IVs. The program was called VK 20 and it called for a 20 ton tracked vehicle design by Krupp, Daimler-Benz, and MAN. Krupp dropped out when the requirements changed to 30 tones in 1941 when the German encounters the Soviet T-34 and KV-1 Tanks where the Panzer III and Panzer IV's performance have little effect due to its superior armour, mobility, and armament. The VK 20 was abandoned for the VK 30.02 in April 1942. Daimler-Benz design for this project looks similar to the T-34 with the turret far forward in the hull, plus the use of a diesel engine and external leaf spring suspension. MAN's design had a twin torsion bar, the interleaved suspension system (like the Tiger I) with the turret situated in the middle of the hull, plus had a petrol Maybach engine. Hitler was reported to believe that the DB design was superior to the MAN design, and in a review Between January to March 1942, Fritz Todt and Albert Speer also recommended the DB design. Then MAN revised their design, and a special commission by Hitler decided on the MAN design in May 1942, to which Hitler approved after reviewing it. One of the reasons the MAN was approved was that its turret was already in production while the DB used a completely new design. However, despite being built for a 30-ton design, Hitler decided to increase the armour on the MAN design and the weight went from 30 tons to 45 tons.

作为三号坦克和四号坦克的继任者，豹式坦克的设计发展早在1938年就开始了。该项目被称为VK20，它要求由克虏伯、戴姆勒-奔驰和曼设计一款20吨的履带车辆。1941年，当德国人遇到苏联的T-34和KV-1坦克时，指标更改为30吨级，克虏伯便退出了设计组。因为三号和四号坦克的性能被苏联新式坦克的优越的装甲、机动性和武器全方面碾压。1942年4月，VK20被VK30.2取代。戴姆勒-奔驰为这个项目设计的外观类似于T-34，炮塔在车体前部，加上柴油发动机和外部钢板弹簧悬挂。曼的设计方案有一个双扭力杆，交错悬挂系统(像虎式坦克)炮塔位于车体的中间，加上一个汽油迈巴赫发动机。据报道希特勒认为戴姆勒-奔驰设计优于曼的设计，在1942年1月至3月的一次审查中，弗里茨·托特（Fritz Todt）和阿尔伯特·斯佩尔（Albert Speer）也推荐了戴姆勒-奔驰设计。然后曼修改了他们的设计方案，希特勒的一个特别委员会在1942年5月决定选择曼的设计方案，希特勒在审查后批准了它。曼的方案能被批准的原因之一是它的炮塔已经在生产，而戴姆勒-奔驰使用了一个全新的设计。然而，尽管设计为30吨，希特勒还是决定在曼的设计方案上增加装甲，重量从30吨增加到45吨。

The MAN design was made into a prototype in September 1942, when it was officially accepted after testing and named the PanzerkampfwAGen V Panther. Where it remained so until 1944, where Hitler removed the V in the designation for the name Panther. Production started in December 1942, though the early models suffered from reliability issues. The production plants expanded from MAN to Daimler-Benz, MNH, and Henschel for increased output. Despite that, production was often delayed due to Allied air bombing, which targeted the Maybach engine plant and DB, MAN, and MNH Tank factories. Nevertheless, the total number of Panther Tanks produced was 6,706, making the Panther the third most produced armoured fighting vehicle in Germany behind the Panzer IV and the StuG III.

1942年9月，曼的设计方案被制成了原型车，在测试后被正式采纳，并被命名为PanzerkampfwAGen V Panther。到1944年，希特勒删除了黑豹名字中的“V”字。豹式坦克于1942年12月开始生产，尽管早期的型号存在可靠性问题。生产工厂从曼扩大到戴姆勒-奔驰, 汉诺威工业机械制造公司和亨舍尔公司，以增加产量。尽管如此，由于盟军空袭迈巴赫发动机工厂和戴姆勒-奔驰、曼和汉诺威工业机械制造公司的坦克工厂，生产经常被推迟。然而，豹式坦克生产总数是6706辆，这使豹式坦克成为德国第三多的装甲战斗车辆，仅次于四号坦克和三号突击炮。

设计

The MAN design for the Panther featured a heavily sloped armour design, with the front glacis plate being 80 mm thick (from the original 60 mm before the weight increase) and when sloped at 55 degrees, it was 140 mm effective in thickness. This made the Panther one of the best-armoured vehicle in World War II. The side armour of the Panther was way thinner at 40 mm that could be pierced very easily. Additional side armour in the form of Schürzen could be placed on the sides hanging to cover the suspension and hull side from being penetrated by Soviet anti-Tank rifle fire. The Panther used the same engine as the Tiger I, the Mayback HL 210 P30 engine, and had a similar suspension system, the Schachtellaufwerk interleaved wheel system, which complicated maintenance issues. The Tank used the formidable 7.5 cm Kwk 42 cannon, which could destroy most of the allied Tanks in service, though only possess a mediocre HE shell.

曼的豹式坦克的采用了一种大倾斜装甲设计，正面倾斜装甲厚度为80毫米(重量增加前为60毫米)，当倾斜55度时，有效厚度为140毫米。这使得豹式坦克成为第二次世界大战中最好的装甲车之一。豹式坦克的侧面装甲很薄，只有40毫米，很容易被击穿。装甲侧裙板（Schürzen）可以放置在悬挂系统的侧面，以覆盖悬挂系统和车体侧面，防止被苏联反坦克步枪的火力打穿。豹式使用与虎式坦克相同的发动机，迈巴赫 HL 210 P30发动机，并有一个与虎式坦克类似的悬挂系统，即被称为“交错悬挂扭矩系统（Schachtellaufwerk）”的交错式负重轮系统，这使得后勤维护很复杂。坦克使用强大的7.5厘米Kwk 42 坦克炮，它可以摧毁在役的大多数盟军坦克，但是它的HE就很一般了。

The Ausf. D variant was the first variant designed for the Panther, easily distinguishable by its drum-shaped commander cupola. The Ausf. D can also be distinguished by a unique machine gun port with a shape of a vertical "letterbox" flap from where the machine gun was fired (this was replaced by a standard ball mount in later variants). The Ausf. D also had the initial turret curved gun mantlet that was introduced to the Panther, though there were faults with the design as explained below. 842 Panther Ausf. D was produced from January to September 1943.

D型是豹式坦克的第一个改型，这很容易通过它的鼓形车长指挥塔辨认出来。D型还可以通过一个独特的机枪口来辨认，该端口的形状是一个垂直的“信箱”盖，就是在机枪开火的地方(在后来的型号中，这被一个标准的球座所取代)。D型也有豹式坦克最初的曲面炮盾，如下文所述，该炮盾在设计上有一些缺陷。从1943年1月到9月共生产了842辆豹式坦克D型。

The Panther's rushed development and commitment into battle caused the design to have many flaws inhibiting its full potential. The most prominent flaw that lasted throughout the war was the weak final drive due to using a double spur system that made it more prone to failure from the Panther's torque requirements, which is averAGed at around 150 km before failing. The curved gun mantlet design had an unfortunate tendency to ricochet deflected rounds into the roof, it was, however, not fixed until a new gun mantlet design with a flat "chin" shape was introduced on the Panther G. The Schachtellaufwerk suspension system, like the Tiger, suffered from over-engineering and complicating maintenance of the Tank. Smaller problems in the Tank included not having a dedicated periscope for the gunner, lack of ventilation to the engine due to waterproofing, maintenance-heavy, fuel-hungry, and deteriorating armour quality as metal alloys in Germany began to run out.

豹式的过快发展和投入战斗导致设计有许多缺陷，这限制了它的潜力。在整个战争中一直存在的最突出的缺陷是，由于豹式坦克使用了双驱动系统，使其更容易因为扭矩需求而失效，在系统失效前平均可行驶约150公里。曲面炮盾设计有一个不好的跳弹倾向，炮弹可能会偏转到车体顶部，然而，到豹G时，换了一个新炮盾，它是一个“下巴”形状的平面设计 。交错悬挂扭矩系统（Schachtellaufwerk），和虎式坦克一样，设计的太复杂了，维护起来相当麻烦。还有一些小问题，包括没有一个炮手专用潜望镜，由于防水设计导致发动机缺乏通风，维护麻烦，燃料匮乏，以及由于德国的金属合金逐步耗尽而导致装甲质量恶化。

Despite its heavier weight and slightly complex design, the cost of each Panther Tank was not very high in relative to Tanks with a price at 117,100 Reichmarks, compared to the 103,462 RM of Panzer IVs and 250,800 RM of the Tiger I. This made the Tank rather economic for its fighting purposes despite being over-engineered.

尽管豹式坦克比较重，设计稍复杂，但每一辆豹豹的成本相对不是很高，其价格为价格117100 帝国马克，四号坦克为103462 帝国马克，虎式坦克为250800帝国马克 。豹式坦克的造价相比它的作战用途而言，它性价比很高，尽管豹式坦克的设计有些复杂。

战斗使用

The Panther was first issued to the Eastern Front, arming the 51st and 52nd Tank Battalions. Their usAGe presented mechanical problems of the Panther, forcing many of the early Panthers to be returned for rebuilding. Despite these issues, the Panther was deemed critical in the Battle of Kursk in Operation Citadel, Hitler delayed the operation so more Panthers can reach the front. 200 Panthers were ready in June 1943, but its combat debut was disappointing. The Panthers, which arrived last minute before the operation started, meant that the crew serving the Tanks had little time to train with the new Tanks. Two Tanks were lost to motor fires right after disembarking from the trains at the front lines. 184 were operational at the start of the operation on July 5, this dropped to 40 within two days. According to Heinz Guderian, five days into the offensive, only 10 operation Panthers were available with 25 completely lost, 100 in need of repairs, and 60 per cent of those mechanical breakdowns were easily repaired. Those that did work during the campaign were able to cause heavy casualties on the Soviet Tank forces, but the Panther's lethality was mitigated by its low number available. When the operation turned and the Soviet counteroffensive pushed the Germans away from Kursk, the Panther loss rose to 156 on August 11, with many more lost as the Soviet kept gaining ground. Perhaps the Panther's biggest role in Operation Citadel was delaying the start of the operation by two months to allow the Soviet defences to be bolstered beyond the German's expectations, causing the failure of the offensive.

豹式坦克首先被被派往东线，装备第51和第52坦克营。他们的使用引起了豹式坦克的机械问题，迫使许多早期的豹式坦克返厂维修。尽管有这些问题，豹式坦克在库尔斯克战役“堡垒行动”中被认为是至关重要的，希特勒推迟了行动，以便更多的豹式坦克可以抵达前线。1943年6月，200辆豹式坦克准备就绪，但它的首次亮相令人失望。黑豹在行动开始前的最后一刻才到达，这意味着服役于豹式坦克的坦克手几乎没有时间用新坦克进行训练。在前线，两辆坦克刚从火车上下来，发动机就烧了。5日开始的时候，有184辆可以战斗，但两天后就只剩40辆。据海因茨·古德里安说，进攻行动进行到第5天，就只剩下10辆豹式坦克能用了，其中25辆完全损坏，100辆需要修理，其中60%的机械故障很容易修理。那些在战役中发挥作用的坦克能够给苏联坦克部队造成重大伤亡，但豹式坦克的杀伤力因其可用数量少而降低。8月11日，当苏联反攻将德国人赶出库尔斯克时，豹式坦克的损失上升到156辆，随着苏联不断取得进展，豹式坦克的损失更大。也许豹式坦克在“堡垒行动”中最大的作用是将行动开始的时间推迟了两个月，让苏联的防御力量超出德军的预期，从而导致了进攻的失败。

After the failure at Kursk, improvements on the Panther helped its reliability rate. By March 1944, Guderian reported that most of the Panther's flaws were ironed out, but the final drive and other mechanical issues were still a major issue to front-line units. The Panthers served the rest of the war as quick-reaction forces to fight off Allied offensives on both fronts. On the Eastern Front, some 700 Panthers were committed to the battle at all times, though the number of operational vehicles varies depending on the situation. The Panthers were also sent to suppress the Warsaw Uprising in August 1944. Two were captured by the Polish forces, who used them AGainst the German forces. The captured Panthers were used until they became immobilized and were destroyed to prevent recapture by the Germans.

德军在库尔斯克失败后，对豹式坦克进行了改进，提高了它的可靠性。到1944年3月，古德里安报告说豹式坦克的大部分缺陷已经被解决，但最后的驱动和其他机械问题仍然是前线部队的主要问题。在战争的剩余时间里，坦克作为快速反应部队在两条战线击退盟军的进攻。在东线，大约一直会有700辆豹式坦克在战斗，尽管作战车辆的数量会根据情况而变化。1944年8月，豹式坦克还被派去镇压华沙起义。其中两辆被波兰军队俘虏，波兰军队用他们来对付德国军队。被俘的豹豹会被一直使用到它们无法动弹并被摧毁为止，以防止被德国人重新缴获。

On the Western Front, the Panthers began being present in large numbers after the Invasion of Normandy. 156 Panthers were initially present Between two Panzer regiments, but this increased by seven regiments after the Allied invasion, boosting the strength to 432 Tanks. The high number of Panther situated in France, mostly around Caen, and their performance AGainst the Allied armour caused many Allied Tankers to fear it as much as the Tiger Tanks. However, the Panther's reliability problem was still evident as many Panthers were left abandoned by the crew when they broke down. The mechanical breakdown, partly from the flaws in the machine, can also be attributed to the poor crew training given, which showed by crew overburdening the transmission or lacking regular maintenance on the Tank. The Allied assessment of the Panther was that its mobility on soft grounds was superior due to its wider tracks giving more flotation over the ground, and armour and firepower value was superior to anything they had, though it was inferior in the bocAGe terrain of France due to the constrained nature of the environment. The Panther participated in the famed Battle of Arracourt, where a total of 262 German Tanks were committed to battle. The battle, AGainst the mostly M4 Sherman, equipped 4th Armored Division, routed the Germans after they suffered heavy casualties, while the Allies only losing 32 armoured fighting vehicles, a testament on how crew training and tactical advantAGe have a big impact on Tank warfare. The highest concentration of Panthers on the Western Front was 471 Panthers (336 operational) in the Ardennes Offensive (Battle of the Bulge), where it showed its prowess in open terrain due to its superior gun. The Panthers also took place in Operation Grief, being disguised as M10 Tank destroyers to trick American soldiers. All of these mocked up Panthers were destroyed in battle or scrapped after it. After the Ardennes Offensive, eight Panzer division with 271 Panthers were transferred to the Eastern Front to beat back the Soviet offensive. Only five Panther battalions, 96 Panthers for each battalion, remained on the Western Front to fight the Allies.

在西线，豹式坦克在诺曼底登陆后开始大量增加，德军最初有两个豹式坦克团共计有156辆豹式坦克，但在盟军登陆后增加了7个团，这使得豹式坦克数量增加到432辆。大量的豹式坦克驻扎在法国，其大部分在卡昂（Caen）附近，他们的反盟军装甲表现使得许多盟军坦克手像害怕虎式坦克一样害怕它。然而，豹式坦克的可靠性问题仍然很明显，许多豹式坦克在故障时被车组抛弃了。机械故障，部分来自机器的缺陷，但也有乘员培训不足的原因，这表现为坦克手将传动系统超负荷了或他们没有定期维护坦克。盟军对豹式坦克的评估是，得益于宽履带可以让地面提供更大的支持力，豹式坦克在松软土地上的机动性很好，它的装甲和火力值优于盟军的任何坦克，但它在法国的波卡基（bocAGe）受制于地形环境因素打得很差。豹式坦克参加了著名的阿拉库尔战役（Battle of Arracourt），共记262辆德国坦克投入了这场战役。在这场战斗中，德军对阵以M4谢尔曼为主，装备精良的第四装甲师，结果德军伤亡惨重，盟军仅损失32辆装甲车，这证明了乘员训练和战术优势对坦克战有重大影响。豹式坦克在西线集结程度最高的一次是在阿登进攻(突出部战役)中，有471辆豹式坦克(336辆可操作)，它在开阔地带凭借其优越的火炮显示了其威力。豹式坦克也发生在“格里芬行动（Operation Grief）”中，伪装成M10坦克歼击车来骗美国士兵。所有这些伪装豹要么在战斗中被摧毁了，要么在战斗后被放弃了。阿登进攻后，8个装甲师和271辆豹式坦克被调往东线以反击苏联的攻势。只有5个豹式坦克营，每个营96辆，留在西线与盟军作战。

After the war, Panther still saw a use for some time in various countries. Bulgaria and Romania received Panthers from the Soviets as aid, which they used until the 1950s. France was the most notable user of the Panther Tanks after World War II due to the large quantities of operable vehicles left behind by the Germans during the Normandy invasion. The French raised a regiment of 50 Panthers from 1944 to 1947, when they were replaced by the new ARL 44 Tanks. The Panther also influenced the French AMX 50 Tank design, and its gun was derived onto the AMX 13 light Tank. In 1947, an evaluation was written by the French War Ministry on the Panthers which even made their own assessment of the Panther that pointed out most of the flaws of the Panthers, especially the mechanical failure and the deficiency of the armour later in the war due to alloy shortAGes.

战后，豹式坦克在许多国家仍服役了一段时间。保加利亚和罗马尼亚接受苏联援助的豹式坦克，它们一直服役到20世纪50年代。二战后，法国是豹式坦克最著名的使用者，因为在诺曼底登陆期间，德国人留下了大量可用车辆。1944年到1947年，当豹式坦克被新的ARL 44坦克所取代时，法国增加了一个由50辆豹式坦克组成的团。豹式坦克也影响了法国AMX 50坦克的设计，它的炮被衍生到AMX 13轻型坦克上。1947年,一份由法国战争部（French War Ministry）撰写的报告，指出包括自己的豹式坦克在内的豹式坦克的绝大部分缺陷，尤其是机械故障和在战争中由于合金短缺而导致有质量问题的装甲。

游戏描述

This combat vehicle was developed by the company MAN in 1941 and 1942 and was intended to become the Wehrmacht's primary Tank. According to German classification, the Panther was considered a medium Tank.

这款战斗车辆是由曼公司在1941年和1942年开发的，计划成为国防军的主力坦克。根据德国的分类，豹式坦克被认定为是中型坦克。

After the outbreak of war with the Soviet Union, German troops encountered the new Soviet T-34 and KV Tanks, which were superior to all of the Wehrmacht's available models.

苏德战争爆发后，德国军队遇到了新式的苏联T-34和KV坦克，这些坦克比德国国防军现有的所有型号的坦克都要好。

After examining the strengths and weaknesses of the Soviet Tanks, German engineers added sloping armour and a new chassis with large rollers and wide treads to the project.

在调查了苏联坦克的优缺点之后，德国工程师在项目中增加了倾斜装甲和带有大滚轮和宽履带的新底盘。

In the spring of 1942, MAN's prototype was approved and entered military service. This combat vehicle embodied the spirit of German Tank construction: a front-mounted transmission compartment, rear engine compartment, and an individual, stAGgered torsion suspension designed by the engineer G. Kniepkamp. The Tank's main armament was a 75 mm 7,5 cm KwK 42 L/70 Tank gun produced by the company Rheinmetall-Borsig, with a long 70-caliber barrel.

1942年春，曼的原型车被批准并进入军队服役。这种战斗车辆体现了德国坦克建设的精神:一个前置变速箱，一个后发动机舱，和一个由工程师海因里希·恩斯特·科尼普坎普（G.Kniepkamp）设计的独立交错扭转悬架。坦克的主要武器是一门由莱茵金属-博尔西格公司(company Rheinmetall-Borsig)生产的75毫米KwK 42 L/70坦克炮，配有长70倍径的炮管。

The main advantAGe of this weapon was its high muzzle velocity, which gave it high accuracy and good penetration power. Its ability to knock Tanks out was Better than that of the majority of Soviet, American, and British Tank guns. In this way, it even surpassed the famous 8,8 cm KwK 36 installed on the Tiger I.

这款武器的主要优势是它的高初速，这给了它很高的精度和良好的穿透力。它击毁坦克的能力比大多数苏联、美国和英国的坦克炮都强。就这样，它甚至超过了著名的安装在虎式上的8,8厘米kwk36。

Full-scale production of the Tank began in January 1943. By September 1943, the companies Daimler-Benz AG, Henschel, and MAN had produced 850 Pz.Kpfw. V Ausf. D Tanks.

1943年1月，坦克开始全面生产。到1943年9月，戴姆勒-奔驰公司、亨舍尔公司和曼公司已经生产了850辆豹式坦克D型坦克。

The vehicle's combat debut was the Battle of Kursk, where the variant exhibited low technical reliability. For this reason, the Tank's losses were very high. Hasty development and adoption of Tanks featuring a new design contributed to numerous minor flaws.

该车辆的首战是在库尔斯克战役，在那里该型暴露出可靠性较低的问题。由于这个原因，坦克的损失非常大。仓促开发和采用具有新设计特点的坦克导致坦克具有许多小毛病。
