Got a load of pics from a local museum, should upload/share them somehow. They got anything there.

You mostly see variuos models of tanks isolated, so its hard to draw conclusions, but in Sinsheim they have A Sherman next to a Panther. Guys, the Panther dwarves the Sherman in sheer size (same for T34, its tiny).

Quick way to tell a Panther from the Tiger II. The Tiger has a shoulder on the gun, Panther is smooth into the mantlet.

Early production tiger II also had mono bloc barrel smooth to the mantlet.

Two completely reliable visual differentiator between tiger II and panther are:

1. All versions of tiger II had a massive overhang at the back of the turret.  No panther version do.

2. The commander’s cupola on all versions of tiger II are in the middle of the turret while those on all versions of panther were flush with the back of the turret.

So what about this ?

I see your puny 11 inch gun that shoots pitiful chemical explosive shells and can’t leave railway tracks,  and I raise you a 16.25” gun that shoots nuclear shells and on mounted on cross country tracked chassis.
