| About the German Jagdtiger Tank Destroyer: The Jagdtiger (SdKfz 186) (Ger. "Hunting tiger") was a German World War Two Jagdpanzer (tank destroyer) based on the chassis of the Tiger II ("King Tiger") tank. It is also the heaviest armored fighting vehicle ever to reach production in World War II.
The Jagdtiger was a logical extension of the creation of Jagdpanzer designs from tank designs such as the Jagdpanther from the Panther tank. The Jagdtiger used a boxy superstructure on top of a lengthened Tiger II chassis. The idea for the Jagdtiger began in early 1943 and prototypes were produced by Porsche and Henschel as had been the case with the Tiger II.
The resulting vehicle featured very heavy armor and the powerful 128 mm L/55 PaK44 gun, a development of the 12.8 cm FlaK 40 anti-aircraft gun, capable of defeating any tank fielded in World War II, even at long ranges (+3,500 meters). The Jagdtiger’s massive 12.8cm gun was capable of penetrating over 7 inches of armor at almost 2 miles away. It was said that if a Jagdtiger could see it, it could kill it.
It had 250 mm armor on the front glacis, which made it invulnerable to any frontal fire. However, it lacked a turret and the main gun mount had a limited traverse of only 10 degrees; the entire vehicle had to be turned to aim outside that narrow field of fire. It suffered from the same maladies as the King Tiger, only that they were magnified since the Jagdtiger was 6 tons heavier: an underpowered engine, frequent breakdowns, and poor maneuverability.
These problems, along with the lack of a turret, made it vulnerable to infantry with anti-tank weapons and Allied air attacks. When properly supported, the Jagdtiger had the potential to be a formidable opponent, especially at longer ranges. However, Jagdtigers were deployed in limited numbers due to the small production, further reduced by equipment shortages, low reliability, and gasoline shortages.
Although only a small number was produced, the Jagdtiger’s presence would boost confidence among the German troops. |
