I compared how panthers did against tiger I's after the fact to see if I had made the correct decision in not changing to panthers when they came available. When I fought 2000 points of panthers vs 2000 points of tigers, letting the ai run both sides all but one of the panthers was destroyed, only 2 of the tigers were destroyed. It seems clear to me that tiger I's will outfight panthers. The only advantage the panthers have is more movement, if you push your tigers like I did, full movement every turn accepting the occasional breakdown, you get the same movement you get nursing the panthers along. The kicker remains once they start shooting at each other the tigers will blow the panthers apart.

thanks, John.
Using the AI as a test tool has its advantages but also its limitations. The AI tends to move straight forward, a train wreck style of fighting as it has been called. This tests the basic features of the tank, armor, speed, etc. but does not test its capabilities.
A human player can take the panthers and maneuver them, taking long range shots with its long 75mm gun that is more accurate and has better penetration than the short 88mm on the Tiger.

OK, maybe just a bit faded.
