While the PzKpfw IV could still be used to advantage, the PzKpfw V [Panther] proved ill-adapted to the terrain. The Sherman because of its maneuverability and height was good [the Panther was] poorly suited for hedgerow terrain because of its width. Long gun barrel and width of the tank reduce maneuverability in village and forest fighting. It is very front-heavy and therefore quickly wears out the front final drives, made of low-grade steel. High silhouette. Very sensitive power-train requiring well-trained drivers. Weak side armor; tank top vulnerable to fighter-bombers.
