Although the Americans had a gun which was as powerful as its 88mm L/71, and the Soviets had tanks with thicker armor, the quality and design of this vehicle left it with capabilities which outclassed any Allied tank of its time. With a gun that could penetrate over 9” of armor at point-blank range, and over 7” of frontal turret armor, its low speed was an insignificant problem for an army fighting mostly defensive battles. In all, 489 PzKpfw VIB were produced from early 1944 until the end of the war. Options: None. 58
