For me there are as many say above, so many things to love,
but this one beast screams at me everytime i see one online/ in a game / in a museum, in which i pray to HLL devs they will bring this to the game one day,
The Jadgtiger and absolute monster sporting a absolutely huge 128mm gun, originally designed and designated to be fit to Panthers and Tiger 1’s when tested they found it was simply too much for the named chassis, in 1943 a wooden mock up on a Tiger 2 chassis was presented to Hitler and later was then entered into production in 1944,
The 71-tonne Jagdtiger was the heaviest armored fighting vehicle, used operationally by any participant nation of WWII and is the heaviest combat vehicle of any type to achieve series production during the conflict. The vehicle was armed with a 128 mm PaK 44 L/55 main gun which was capable of outranging and defeating any tank or AFV fielded by the Allied forces.
It saw brief service in small numbers from late 1944 up until the end of the war on both the Western and Eastern Front. Although 150 were ordered, only around eighty were produced. Due to an excessive weight and a significantly underpowered drivetrain system, the Jagdtiger was continuously plagued with various mobility and mechanical problems. At present, three Jagdtigers survive in different museums around the world.
kind of proud of the 3 of these left in museums one is not too far from where i live in the UK –
- Dorset UK – The British tank museum (the one ive seen) – One of the 11 Porsche–designed suspension-equipped variants, it was captured by British troops in April 1945 near the armour proving ground at Sennelager, Germany, where it was undergoing testing and trials
- National Armor & Cavalry Museum USA Fort Benning, Georgia
- Kubinka Tank Museum near Moscow
^ The Jagdtiger In all its glory.
^ One of 3 Last surviving Jagdtigers presented at Bovington Tank Museum in Dorset. (the one i fell in love with)
