|InTheGame_pros=
* Excellent 88mm gun (good DPM, Accuracy and Penetration)
* Very maneuverable (fast traverse, good terrain resistance)
* Good mobile support/sniper tank
* Big HP-Pool, and good at ramming
* 2nd cheapest tier 8 premium tank (only 100 gold more than the Super Pershing), and technically highest credit making potential due to cheap shells and repair cost.

|InTheGame_cons=
* No pref. matchmaking (sees Tier X)
* Thinner front armour than the Panther
* Not as fast as the Panther in downhill due to top speed
* Weak engine
* Mediocre gun depression on front, like E-50

|InTheGame_performance=
This tank should be used as a second- or third-line sniper with its precise gun because it is not really fast enough for agressive flanking maneuvers and not that well-armored, often able to reliably bounce incoming shots only at extreme angles, so close-quarter fighting isn't a good idea, either. It can take some hits because it has a rather large hitpoint pool, but it is highly recommended that "Panther 88" drivers keep their distance in a fight, much like the Panther II where it's good DPM, very accurate, and good penetration gun will cripple enemies easily. The tank suffers from its non-preferential matchmaking and therefore can face Tier X tanks, against which the long 88mm gun will struggle to do consistent damage from the front. It should also be noted that this tank is the second cheapest tier 8 premium tank currently available, costing 3k to 4k less gold than most others (except the Super Pershing).

|History=
The early impetus for upgrading the Panther came from the concern of Hitler and others that it lacked sufficient armor. Hitler had already insisted on an increase in its armor once, early in its design process in 1942. Discussions involving Hitler in January of 1943 called for further increases in armor, resulting in the tank initially referred to as the Panther 2 (it became the Panther II after April 1943). This upgrade increased the glacis plate to 100 mm (3.9 in), the side armor to 60 mm (2.4 in), and the top armor to 30 mm (1.2 in). The weapon was to remain the KwK 42 L/70Production of the Panther 2 was slated to begin in September 1943.

In a meeting on February 10, 1943, further design changes were proposed, including changes to the steering gears and final drives. Another meeting on February 17, 1943 focused on sharing and standardizing parts between the Tiger II tank and the Panther 2, such as the transmission, all-steel roadwheels, and running gear. No plans were made to include the 8.8 cm L/71 as the turret diameter was too small. In March 1943, MAN indicated that the first prototype would be completed by August 1943. A number of engines were under consideration, among them the new Maybach HL 234 fuel-injected engine (900 hp operated by an 8-speed hydraulic transmission).

Thus, plans to replace the original Panther design with the Panther II were already underway before the first Panther had even seen combat. But, from May to June 1943, work on the Panther II ceased, as the focus was shifted to expanding production of the original Panther tank. It is not clear if there was ever an official cancellation; this may have been because the Panther II upgrade path was originally started at Hitler's insistence. The direction that the design was headed would not have been consistent with Germany's need for a mass-produced tank, which was the goal of the Reich Ministry of Armament and War Production. Additionally, many of the problems the Panther II was made to address had been resolved, such as the weak side armor.

One Panther II chassis was completed and eventually captured by the U.S. It is now on display at the Patton Museum in Fort Knox. The turret from a Panther (I) Ausf G is mounted on this chassis.
