Comparing: Pz.Kpfw. V Berge-Panther Alpha vs. A-43

Only one prototype was built. The Pz.Kpfw. IV turret was mounted as a stationary module on the Panther hull for testing.

Developed at Factory No. 183 in 1941 under the designation A-43. The vehicle was to replace the T-34. The A-43 was conceived to feature a torsion bar suspension, a V-5 engine, a new transmission, a commander’s cupola, and front armor enhanced to 60 mm.
