About the Jagdpanther:
The Jagdpanther ("Hunting Panther") was a tank destroyer built by Germany during World War II based on the chassis of the Panther tank. It was armed with an the same long-barrelled 88 mm gun as the Tiger II, with a 7.92 mm machine gun in the front glacis plate for local defence. Despite the limited gun movement traverse (left/right), the Jagdpanther was considered a very good machine. A powerful engine gave it a good power-to-weight ratio resulting in good performance in the battlefield. The low profile meant that it was easily camouflaged. Around 400 were produced in 1944 and 1945. They equipped Heavy Tank Destroyer Battalions and served mainly on the Eastern Front, although significant numbers were concentrated in the West for the Ardennes Offensive.
