Both protagonists are drawn back into an activity she had come to dislike while growing up, finding new friends and a renewed interest. Both look up to their older sisters but do not have a good relationship with them.
Both anime are about schools that have a particular competitive sport that is achieved through the use of military vehicles and/or weaponry.
Only one episode in but from what I can tell they are pretty similar as long as you change that Strike Witches is about fighting a war and Girls und Panzer is about a competition.
Girls and tank. Slice of life.
These might seem different - but they are more similar than you'd think. In truth, Girls und Panzer is actually just a sports series with an all-female cast and a rather unique sport. The music, overall feeling, characters, their personalities, and just about everything else feel almost the exact same. Both also focus on an underdog team (in both cases they start out not having a clue what they are doing) overcoming big odds, getting to know each other, and working against social standing. They also both lack much of any fanservice or pandering, surprisingly.
National stereotypes (or girls acting out national stereotypes, as is the case for girls und panzer) fighting in a tournament. Difference is Girls und Panzer stays as a tournament while G Gundam turns into a save the world thing at the end.
You'll just find yourself weirdly and helplessly attracted to the anime although both may sound stupid at first.

With that said, the magnet ability of AKB0048 is definitely higher than Girls and Panzer though.
Each anime is based around a sport using vehicles that would otherwise be seen as military grade combat weapons, though Girls und Panzer is based on WWII tanks, It is also set in a future setting. Infinite Stratos uses Mech units in the place of tanks and like Girls und Panzer are only piloted by girls, The difference being Infinite Stratos is based on a male lead being able to use the mechs. Whilst Girls und Panzer is based on a group of girls recruiting others into their team and joining a competition.
While the plot of these two are completely different, there are some similarities,
- main character is the commander of a group, during battle, he/she commands others to do things and outwits the opponent
- both use machines, tank in GUP, and Nightmares in C geass
- during battle the atmosphere is similar, but completely diff outside of battle
On the surface, there is too much similarities but in both series, there is quite a lot I found in common.

Both series involves a group of characters participating in an activity from a school environment. There is that sense of competition and strive to succeed among each member of the teams.

The background is lighthearted and it takes practice to succeed for the characters. It is surprisingly realistic and portrays the activities they do in a more definite and profound way.

The main female characters from both series also share similar personalities.

Both K-On! and Girls und Panzer soely focus on girls together in a club in high school and have high school slice of life parts as well as their respective main themes of music or tanks. Both practicing and performing in competitions and enjoying life eating out and dealing with life's situations.
History and cute girls vs. history and cute boys.
The history references and the big variety of characters makes Girls und Panzer smiliar to Hetalia. They are both light-hearted animes as well.
"War game" between countries and fun to watch war tactics.
If you followed the discussion for each episode, you'll see that the fans has a lot of knowledge to share too, going far outside of the stuffs presented in the anime itself.

Nice attention to the details that would add to the rewatch value after gaining more insight to that episode.
They even have staff member doing dancing to the animation staff for reference. :D

The difference being Horizon has a lot more political theme into it compared to the more light hearted Girls & Panzer.
Also, Girls & Panzer sets the bar high by aiming for the geeks, that make sloppy accuracy even more unforgiveable.
For semi-serious military and mech/tank type themes and fights as well as over-the-top ridiculous situations regarding those same mechs/tanks. Check out Girls und Panzer.
Both have main characters that are lazy and sleepy yet excel at what they do. You'll recognize them by their similar facial expressions when they're distressed. =.= xD
Both shows have characters that want to save their own school from closing.
but ways of doing that are different:
girls und panzer-through tanks
love live-idols and music
