WWB Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 IIRC it is a rather significant one. G has a nasty shot trap, drastically increases chance of weak point penetrations to front turret shots. Late model had a little lip that eliminated this issue. WWB 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dressler Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 The late Panther G had the bottom half of the gun mantlet squared off to prevent rounds from deflecting downward and penetrating the comparitively weaker top armor over the crew compartment. There were also other changes like the addition of a crew heater to the back engine deck and different exhaust.

cruelsword Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 The wheels were different too, mostly all-steel. Regards Cruel 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dressler Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 There were only a few, (around 24 I think), all steel-wheeled panthers produced. The rest used the same 24 bolt rubber-rimmed road wheels as the latter A's and early G's. The steel wheels are a characteristic of late Tiger I's, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
