The Panther is a decent middle ground for black-ops(blops) groups. The Panther's combination of damage and RoF-bonused autocannons, along with enough room for a full flight of heavy drones (or Geckos with a mix of mediums and lights) give it  decent firepower (slightly below a [[Redeemer]] but above a neut-fit [[Sin]] when fit with traditional 800mm autocannons. With 5 medium and 6 low slots, the Panther can be either armor or shield tanked, although blops groups often fit armor, to give room in the midslots for tackle and utility. The Panther falls slightly behind the Redeemer but above the Sin in terms of tank (when fitted with armor buffer). The Panther also has 2 utility highs (more than the Redeemer but less than the Sin, often filled with a heavy and medium neut to help break active tanked targets. The Panther is also the fastest blops, although this trait isn't as important when dropping with a group of armor blops.
