MAN Sd.Kfz.173 Jagdpanther | 3.75" | 2" |
The German Jagdpanther is regarded by the ordnance experts as one of the best tracked weapons systems during WWII. The awesome Pak 43/3, L71 88mm gun was mounted on the proven Panther medium tank chassis. The gun was installed into the box shaped superstructure, which used thick steel armor of 80mm at the front, and 50mm at the sides. These frontal and side armor plates were effectively inclined to obtain an improved protection. A ball mounted MG42 bow machine gun was installed at the right side of the main gun. Weighing in at 46 tons and propelled by the powerful Maybach V.12 cylinder engine, this tank destroyer had a well-balanced fire power, protection, and mobility to high standards.
