After their mechanical problems were solved and the Panther tanks finally went into action in 1943, their main weakness was that they were just too good, and consequently there were not enough of them. They took longer to build and required more material than Germany had to spare. It was a high performance tank, and it required more maintenance to keep it operating. Individually, the Panther was a better tank than the Allied medium tanks (US Sherman, Canadian Ram, British Cromwell, Russian T34/85) but it could not compete with them numerically. The Panther was a tactical success and a logistical failure.
The two well known tanks that begin with the letter P in use during WW2, are the Panther tank and the Panzer tank. Both of which are German inventions.

The Panther Tank was designed in May 1942 and it was soon to be Produced in September 1942. The development of the Panther between September 1942- January 1943 was Min 250 Tanks a Month but by 1943, German Panzer Divisions was in need of more tanks due to the near defeat at the Battle of Stalingrad, so it was raised to Min 600 Per month but this changed from between 150-350 a Month from January 1943 onward due to Heavy Allied Bombings as a desperate act of need to end the War in Europe.
