have fun with the transmission, driveshaft and engine. I rather take an M18 which is faster, doesn't require nearly as much service and can easily outflank a Jagdtiger.
I too visited Bovington "The Tank Museum" back in 2010. After building tank & tank destroyer models for many years...it was something else to see these brutes up close.
Just the opposite in fact according to Otto Carius. By the time of the Jagdtigers introduction the allies had complete air superiority, which made the Jagdtiger the hunted rather than the hunter. Jagdtiger's hidden within well concealed ambush positions often refused to open fire on unsuspecting ally tanks in fear of revealing their positions to ground attack aircraft. There were also instances of Jagdtiger crews, many of whom at that stage were little more than inexperienced schoolboys, abandoning their intact vehicles after having fired only a few shots. I highly recommend reading Otto Carius's memoirs "Tigers in the Mud"
Stu Saville Though the experience of 2nd company came because the crews were used to actual tanks, the 1st company in contrast were experienced crews who came from lighter panzerjager and were actually abe to make excellent use of the jagdtiger.
Awesome video! Thanks Challenger for an extensive look at this amazing vehicle. When I first saw this tank in 2012 I was flabbergasted at the size - can't wait to see it again in a couple of months!
God damn. I keep forgetting rule #1 of watching tank or ww2 vids: never ever *EVER* look at the comment sections. I forgot the rule and now I think my brain has the dumb too.
Stephen Sexton I know... I just want too see how it was inside, how big it looked outside ( Cuz wargaming decided to make it look smaller than the jagtiger when its actually bigger from what i read ) the space side armor, etc etc.
Wargaming Europe ...Well reports claims the two prototypes was sent in the direction of Berlin. Main purpose schould be the evacuation of proving ground and some claims that the direction towards Berlin was that it was going to participate in the defence of Berlin. But as all knows, they two tanks didn't get far before the gun armed of tanks was blown up. Some think it was because the appointed crew didn't find the cruisning speed high enoufgh to escape the advansing russians. Other sources claims that the tank broke down and then the idea of letting the untowered version to continue alone to Berlin was gone. You have to remember that the tank actualy was drived by electrical power and the E-boat engine only created electricity to the electrical driving mechanisme. So letting the untowered follow the towered was actual a good idea, because there were a system to wire electricity from one tank to another there needed to drive across a river submerged. Because the untowered wasn't able to cross any river itselvs that tank wouldn't had been able to cross any river itself but was able to help the towered maus to escape the approaching russians and participate in the defend of Berlin. So will you call the last task the maus had a Battel action or a matter of moving them to a secure area to blow them up? Well it is a matter of if there actual was any ammunition in the maus with the tower or not? If you look at the pictures of the "crime sceen the tower was actually blown off and the side of the hul crashed. This damage is just to big for a standard prosedure where you blowed up the gun and the engine. However there could not had been much ammunition inside the tank. If you compare the report where one shell exploded inside a Jagdtiger due to sabotage at factory (there one of the forced concentrationcamps slaves got his/hers revenge) there were not much damage to the tank itself however most crew killed, and then compare that with incidents where tanks where completely erased due to all ammo exploded, the background of the explosion is not clear, but some ammunition must had been involved in the explosion in the hull. The way the hull had fallen together and not just not blowed far away I think that some grenates for the big gun without the grenates itself (it was a two piece of load) was placed on the floor together with a TNT standard charge to be sure that gun, tower and driving features all was destroyed in one explosion. So my conclusion is that the Maus with the tower did had ammunition stored inside it, because it was on march to action. The towerless mause was following it because it was needed to help the towered mous to cross a river submerged, because no bridge was strong enoufgh to support a mouse tank. So you will never know if the towered maus actual was blow up because of failure on the towerd maus or the supporting maus or if they crew just couldn't get sufficient tarveling speed to escape the emerging russians. Some suggest that the crew was cowards but all other tanks from proving ground send towards Berlin succeded to arrive. So the battel morale must had been high among the panzer crews of the proving ground. Even a Pzkmpf. I without a turret but with a 88 mm antitank gun welded on top of it without any protection for the crew send from proving ground did managed to arrive at Berlin and was destroyed at 30th april in the seelow park in front of the old goverment building. So there is absolutely no reason to think that crew from proving ground was cowards. I guess most people will says it is not a battle participation if the tank crash before it arrives at the front. But it was done ready for action. But I guess when the internal stored ammunition was used, it would had been without practical need very fast and within the first 24 hours of action and therefore would had done non diffence to how the battle would had enden anyhow. It would just had been a matter of 100 more russians tankers had been killed really without any reason.
Wargaming Europe well theirs a photo of it by the russian in action but got overwhelmed and out flank and the crew abandoned the tank blowing it in the process
Wow, what a fact: 3 Jagdtigers engaged and destroyed 25 enemy vehicles without taking a single loss. We may have hated Hitler and Germany back then but GODDAMN they could build amazing tanks. It is a real shame there is no place on the battlefield for such terrifying monsters anymore.
You have to take into account these were shooting at Sherman's, wolverines, hellcats, and Jacksons and maybe perishing's. Biggest caliber that is shooting back is 90mm.
TroopperFoFo Nope, no Pershings in that engagement. The Jagtiger was for all intents and purposes complete overkill on the Western Front. Nothing in western allied arsenal could withstand the 8.8cm L/71. Perhaps on the Eastern front against the IS-2 they would have had a purpose. But on the Western Front the Jagpanther was more then sufficient.
Matthew Halsey they would be super outdated. The tanks today have upwards of 1500mm of armor and penetration of up to 6 feet. Plus such larger tanks would be very slowly and could easily be but by artillery and bombs and stuff. But I get what you are saying. I have this massive machine in WOT. I love this tank
I read that on the Western front, a Jadtiger destroyed a Sherman that was hiding behind a ruined brick wall. It's shell traveled THROUGH the wall before hitting the Sherman....
It would be nice to see a SturmTiger in game .. But Sturmtiger was armed with a short-barreled 38cm Raketenwerfer 61 L/5.4 , time to reload one shell is almost time of full game battle :) Damn ..
Oh man the interior is so cramped it gives me the chills thinking how it must of felt to drive that thing in combat, not to mention firing that huge gun in such a small sealed space.
Best tank videos on the net or television. Period! The difference is the knowledgeable explanation of the design history and engineering details. Longer with more detail wouldn't hurt. Keep doing what you are doing and thank you so much for sharing.
yes, well spoken, though I marked Porsche and Henschel had a go at the Tiger 2 not the Tiger 1, checked on the even earlier Elefante or Ferdinand, but shouldn't have had to (Ferdinand Porsche, designer:-) regards!
This tank is my most loved tank its gun is a nightmare for enemies even in game, positioning this tank with the lowerplate unexposed will be the guardian angel before heaven.
seeing the old video from the surrendering JT I am always amazed how fast they were ... not like the slow turtels everyone trys to explain ... for a vehicle of this size and weight they were pretty damn mobile
@@umartdagnir thx to the with tracks and many roadwheels the weight is perfectly spread over the track ...the ground pressure of a JT was as high as all other heavy tanks of ww2
You are confusing the speed of the JT in the video for actual speed in operations. The JT in the video was surrendering to Allied forces. The driver could floor the machine into the red knowing that it was shredding the transmission and burning out the engine. Many military equipements even modern ones are designed such that they could go over 100% of rating with the understanding that doing so would be destroying or severely damaging them. For example, the US F-15's engines can be pushed to 125% of max power for about 30 seconds even though this means the engines were self-destructing. In peacetime, the control that activates this is wired shut in the off setting so it cannot be actuated by the pilot. In wartime, that safety comes off. Even an ordinary cars' engines can be pushed beyond the published max performance, but doing so means you will need a new engine and probably transmission, too.
I watched a documentary where a former M4 Sherman operator told how his tank survived a hit from a Jagdtiger. Basically the 128mm shell hit the rear of the Sherman's turret at an angle causing the shell to deflect off of it. The Sherman's turret was cracked open but everyone survived.
***** There is not a single report to be found that Jagdtiger's actually fought during the Battle of the Bulge. The only Jagdtiger's that fought on the western front where during operation Nordwind.
Warhammer40k47 Between believing the word of a veteran who was there and some guy on the internet who was not, I will have to go with the WWII veteran who told the story.
it is but if you not play hulldown whit this monster..you will be always easy target for arty or every shot to lower glasiss will break enging or cause fire....but it is great machine :D
you got the stats wrong for the PaK 44 it's a 26kg shell at roughly 930m/s not 880m/s which is the velocity of the Flak 40 cannon used on the Sturer Emil. also the upper plate is 150mm thick the lower plate is the listed 100mm thick
The US Army has one at its tank museum (not sure where now). It has two impacts on its front, I assume from 90mm AP shot/shell, at nearly right-angles (zero obliquity) in the horizontal direction (plus the vertical back-slope of the armor hit, of course). One was on the 60-degree-sloped front upper hull glacis and merely made a small vertical oval gouge a couple of inches deep as the projectile ricocheted away. The second hit was more interesting: It hit the long, cone-shaped gun mantlet on the right side (as seen from inside the tank) near where the gun stuck out and made a long, shallow gouge down much of the mantlet's side and then ricocheted off to make a small, shallow, round pit in the upper superstructure. The mantlet was made of thin-chilled face-hardened armor (probably using a high-voltage electric arc surface induction method), not ductile homogeneous armor, as is visible here by the radiating cracks and the blocks of face split apart and shifted sideways in large pieces. (Germany really liked face-hardened armor, since the by-1900-universal naval Krupp Cemented side armor was developed there in 1894, and used it in several tanks where most nations used soft, ductile, homogeneous armor.) Neither of these hits would have done much to the tank, though the mantlet hit might have cause some interference with the gun's recoil if the deformed metal touched the barrel.
A typical example of their use was at the start of 1945, when - as part of Operation Nordwind - 16 Jagdtigers from the 65rd Heavy Panzerjager were unloaded from their railway transport, reassembled, and set out on a 90-km advance to contact. Ten of the Jagdtigers broke down and had to be destroyed during the march (being too heavy to recover), four were not fit to fight on arrival; and only two actually participated in combat: knocking out one possible Allied tank, and losing one Jagdtiger. Not a lot of value generated, for enough steel and labour to produce a battalion’s worth of Panzer IVs or a U-boat.
surrender shown in video has taken place in the City of Iserlohn, Northrine-Westphalia. Company Commander was Hauptmann Ernst, who just wanted an honorable handover of his unit. Otto Carius ("Tigers in the Mud"), German Tank Ace of WW2, just even commanded an Jagdtiger.
Personally...I'm pretty happy the german war effort put so much time and effort into building this slightly movable house... it made far fewer actually usable combat vehicles available to use against the world......85, 77 tonne tank destroyers.....with evidently a 19% break down average excellent....kinda makes you wonder if the german engineers themselves were trying to end the war.... "you want a marginally movable land battleship that we will never be able to keep running?.....yes sir...how about around 50 of them?....85?....even better sir!"
Love the videos and will keep watching--unless or until you tell us you'd rather be in an ONTOS, than a JagdTiger. ;-) And now a bit of fun. Heaviest operational Armored Vehicle of World War 2 was the 63,000 tons standard Yamato, pride of Nihon Kaigun. Heaviest Tracked operational Vehicle of WW2 was the 041 Karlgerat selbstfahrlafette, weighing in at 137short tons. Heaviest (and largest) operational Tracked AFV has to be the FCM Char 2C of 77short tons mass. These were ancient by World War 2, but all ten of them were entrained and headed toward operational deployment when demolished to avoid enemy capture. Since the Char 2C had a 10--13 man crew, I get to add another 1500-1950lb . . . ah, heck, let's say another ton, making the tank 78 short tons MTOW. Heaviest Rail Combat AFV was probably the CCCP's Armored Train that mounted three separate turrets: 1) a complete 152mm armed KV2 (HF2) turret, 2) a complete 45mm armed BA10 Turret, and a makeshift turret armed with a 76.2mm Pushka F22. From the look of it, I can only assume it was significantly well armored and therefore 50 short tons or more. tinypic.com/f02hpt.jpg Biggest tank of all time, by dimensions, rather than weight or armor, is the Tsar Tank: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsar_Tank of 66 Short Tons. It was 12m high, 17m long, and 9m wide. Never operational, it was at least built and tested.
The Jagdtiger at the Bovington Tank Museum has a weird cammo pattern. Never seen a German tank painted grey with yellow cammo splotches. I wonder if it was added after the war.
I´ve a model Panzer III Ausf. M in grey with yellow stripes but this is from 1942. since 1943 all german AVF were delivered in dark yellow and at the end of ww2 some in brown antirust paint from the factory. so this grey camo is possibly not origin and btw it looks very amateurish
Honza Škorpík notice how it usually isn’t even neutral steering most of the time. By the end of the war German metal was so bad the final drives on tanks would often break if a tank tried to neutral steer
One of my favored German Tanks, there are some great HO scale models ( 1/87) Older ROCO and the new Herpa minitanks, lots of books and some interesting TH-cams, one of a German unit Surrendering . I saw a real one at a trip to Moscow, Kubinka Russian site. Go ARMY
The heaviest, best-armed German tank-destroyer fielded was the Jagdtiger, of which seventy were built. A typical example of their use was at the start of 1945, when - as part of Operation Nordwind - 16 Jagdtigers from the 65rd Heavy Panzerjager were unloaded from their railway transport, reassembled, and set out on a 90-km advance to contact. Ten of the Jagdtigers broke down and had to be destroyed during the march (being too heavy to recover), four were not fit to fight on arrival; and only two actually participated in combat: knocking out one possible Allied tank, and losing one Jagdtiger. Not a lot of value generated, for enough steel and labour to produce a battalion’s worth of Panzer IVs or a U-boat. 70 Jagdtigers in total production. 16 available for the mission, 14 became mission incapable in transport. That’s 88%. If those reliability numbers hold up, then we are talking about never being able to field more than EIGHT of the things at once.
Great vids, keep up the good work! I know everyone wants to see the exciting tanks of the war, the Tiger I & IIs, the Maus, etc, but I'm more interested in the less glamorous 'workhorses', the Shermans, the Panzer III & IV (great vid there btw), and the Stugs. Would it be possible to see one covering the Stug IIIs and IVs sometime in the future? Aside from the rather jarring sound effect on a transition, loving these - keep em coming!
"IMPRESSIVE!!". The poor buggers that, as drivers...had to sit under this gun when it fired, must have had their teeth knocked loose....or were in dire need of something stronger than asprin after a few rounds....i sometimes wonder if the war went on for another year or so, what the mouse...then super mouse, then jagd mouse and soviet equivellent would have been like....or worse, 5 more years of war and tanks on wide wheel base platforms with cannon simmilar to the huge 800mm railway guns....they sure liked turning ocean going ships into landships back then.
This vehicle was unpopular with its crews. It could barely move, and it was hard to camouflage. It was a great target for air and artillery bombardment.
When hearing Mr Cutland said PAK80 L/55....at 0:40, I wonder where did he get that? Unless I was wrong, there was PAK80 L/66 considered but never mounted on JT. Only PAK44 L/55 was.
That's an awesome viceo - and truly great vehicle (from a Historical point of view at least). One question! Wasn't Sennelager also an area where they would "school" Panzer-commanders and Panzer/Panzergrenadieren troops?...
@0:42 - 1:18. I'm surprised the battalion surrendered so readily. Just one jagdtiger could still take on a standard Allied tank battalion armed with Shermans or T34s. It could still probably knock out the heavier tanks sent to kill it say an IS3 or Pershing.
The main reason for the quick surrender was untrained crews. By that point in the war Germany had few veteran crews left. Couple that with no fuel and no air cover and it wasn't such a bad idea for them to surrender.
Masterincommander This is nonsense, this is like saying that warplanes arrived too late to help Napoleon. It takes time to do technological research. Suddenly the time factor affects only the duration of the war and not technological research.
3 Jagdtigers knocked out 25 allied tanks with no losses? Clearly the matchmaker was broken back then as well.
They were probably up against a load of tier 7s
More like tier 5s and 6s
Until they introduce Stalin's Russia bias...
Those poor M4 Sherman’s:(

Heh these guys saw a Tiger in every tank. There is a difference in looking stuff up and believing propaganda.
I’ve been in that very Jagdtiger...after those bank vault rear doors opened, my first thought was “Christ! That breech is HUGE!!”
The Tank Museum needs to get this monster back on the road again. Just think of its tourist draw during a Tankfest outing.
What a tank.
Also these corporate logos and annotations were good! Nice bit of quality added right there! ;-)
Imaging driving this to a local Porsche dealer and asking for a full service. ;)
Beautiful. Terrifying. Amazing. Powerful.
Would love to see the Jagtiger running and going round the circuit at Tankfest.
that jagdtiger in old movie was moving even faster than mine in wot blitz
Jesus, these tank tours are utter brilliance! The only critique I can aim at you is that you haven't prepared a few more!
glacis 100mm...? it's 150!
Orkel2 More like the lower glacis
even the lower glacis is 110
piece of art this jagdtiger.
I love the Jagdtiger! Especially hull down!
only hull down....in other way it is useless.. :/
Ľubomír Štec It is always awesome.
it is but if you not play hulldown whit this monster..you will be always easy target for arty or every shot to lower glasiss will break enging or cause fire....but it is great machine :D
you got the stats wrong for the PaK 44 it's a 26kg shell at roughly 930m/s not 880m/s which is the velocity of the Flak 40 cannon used on the Sturer Emil. also the upper plate is 150mm thick the lower plate is the listed 100mm thick
It is great to have german subtitles in your vids. Thank's from an Ex-Tanker ;-)
The US Army has one at its tank museum (not sure where now). It has two impacts on its front, I assume from 90mm AP shot/shell, at nearly right-angles (zero obliquity) in the horizontal direction (plus the vertical back-slope of the armor hit, of course). One was on the 60-degree-sloped front upper hull glacis and merely made a small vertical oval gouge a couple of inches deep as the projectile ricocheted away. The second hit was more interesting: It hit the long, cone-shaped gun mantlet on the right side (as seen from inside the tank) near where the gun stuck out and made a long, shallow gouge down much of the mantlet's side and then ricocheted off to make a small, shallow, round pit in the upper superstructure. The mantlet was made of thin-chilled face-hardened armor (probably using a high-voltage electric arc surface induction method), not ductile homogeneous armor, as is visible here by the radiating cracks and the blocks of face split apart and shifted sideways in large pieces. (Germany really liked face-hardened armor, since the by-1900-universal naval Krupp Cemented side armor was developed there in 1894, and used it in several tanks where most nations used soft, ductile, homogeneous armor.) Neither of these hits would have done much to the tank, though the mantlet hit might have cause some interference with the gun's recoil if the deformed metal touched the barrel.
This is a great documentary, big thanks.
A typical example of their use was at the start of 1945, when - as part of Operation Nordwind - 16 Jagdtigers from the 65rd Heavy Panzerjager were unloaded from their railway transport, reassembled, and set out on a 90-km advance to contact. Ten of the Jagdtigers broke down and had to be destroyed during the march (being too heavy to recover), four were not fit to fight on arrival; and only two actually participated in combat: knocking out one possible Allied tank, and losing one Jagdtiger. Not a lot of value generated, for enough steel and labour to produce a battalion’s worth of Panzer IVs or a U-boat.
surrender shown in video has taken place in the City of Iserlohn, Northrine-Westphalia. Company Commander was Hauptmann Ernst, who just wanted an honorable handover of his unit. Otto Carius ("Tigers in the Mud"), German Tank Ace of WW2, just even commanded an Jagdtiger.
Great video, I love it all the more that armour was spelt correctly.
such an awesome tank Destroyer for how big and heavy it was it wasn't no slouch
What a monster that is the JagdTiger
貴重な映像が見れてよかったです♪
Personally...I'm pretty happy the german war effort put so much time and effort into building this slightly movable house...
it made far fewer actually usable combat vehicles available to use against the world......85, 77 tonne tank destroyers.....with evidently a 19% break down average
excellent....kinda makes you wonder if the german engineers themselves were trying to end the war....
"you want a marginally movable land battleship that we will never be able to keep running?.....yes sir...how about around 50 of them?....85?....even better sir!"
He didn't mention the Jagtiger version with the long 88 due to a lack of 128 mm guns.
These videos are tooooo short. Longer please. More info....yeah!
Love the videos and will keep watching--unless or until you tell us you'd rather be in an ONTOS, than a JagdTiger. ;-)
And now a bit of fun.
Heaviest operational Armored Vehicle of World War 2 was the 63,000 tons standard Yamato, pride of Nihon Kaigun.
Heaviest Tracked operational Vehicle of WW2 was the 041 Karlgerat selbstfahrlafette, weighing in at 137short tons.
Heaviest (and largest) operational Tracked AFV has to be the FCM Char 2C of 77short tons mass. These were ancient by World War 2, but all ten of them were entrained and headed toward operational deployment when demolished to avoid enemy capture. Since the Char 2C had a 10--13 man crew, I get to add another 1500-1950lb . . . ah, heck, let's say another ton, making the tank 78 short tons MTOW.
Heaviest Rail Combat AFV was probably the CCCP's Armored Train that mounted three separate turrets: 1) a complete 152mm armed KV2 (HF2) turret, 2) a complete 45mm armed BA10 Turret, and a makeshift turret armed with a 76.2mm Pushka F22. From the look of it, I can only assume it was significantly well armored and therefore 50 short tons or more.

Biggest tank of all time, by dimensions, rather than weight or armor, is the Tsar Tank: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsar_Tank
of 66 Short Tons. It was 12m high, 17m long, and 9m wide. Never operational, it was at least built and tested.
The Jagdtiger at the Bovington Tank Museum has a weird cammo pattern. Never seen a German tank painted grey with yellow cammo splotches. I wonder if it was added after the war.
Michael Akkerman This one is from Fort Benning, USA 1drv.ms/1Lp41EH
I´ve a model Panzer III Ausf. M in grey with yellow stripes but this is from 1942. since 1943 all german AVF were delivered in dark yellow and at the end of ww2 some in brown antirust paint from the factory. so this grey camo is possibly not origin and btw it looks very amateurish
4:40 napis "nienadawały się " jest genialny :D
Nicely done, Thank you!
You could clearly see there that JgTg's rotation speed was much lower than it is in WoT.
arent like all the tanks in wot faster in every way than in real life
Honza Škorpík notice how it usually isn’t even neutral steering most of the time. By the end of the war German metal was so bad the final drives on tanks would often break if a tank tried to neutral steer
Nicely done!
Excellent video. Very informative. I subscribed. Thx.
One of my favored German Tanks, there are some great HO scale models ( 1/87) Older ROCO and the new Herpa minitanks, lots of books and some interesting TH-cams, one of a German unit Surrendering . I saw a real one at a trip to Moscow, Kubinka Russian site. Go ARMY
The heaviest, best-armed German tank-destroyer fielded was the Jagdtiger, of which seventy were built. A typical example of their use was at the start of 1945, when - as part of Operation Nordwind - 16 Jagdtigers from the 65rd Heavy Panzerjager were unloaded from their railway transport, reassembled, and set out on a 90-km advance to contact. Ten of the Jagdtigers broke down and had to be destroyed during the march (being too heavy to recover), four were not fit to fight on arrival; and only two actually participated in combat: knocking out one possible Allied tank, and losing one Jagdtiger. Not a lot of value generated, for enough steel and labour to produce a battalion’s worth of Panzer IVs or a U-boat.
70 Jagdtigers in total production. 16 available for the mission, 14 became mission incapable in transport. That’s 88%. If those reliability numbers hold up, then we are talking about never being able to field more than EIGHT of the things at once.
Great vids, keep up the good work!
I know everyone wants to see the exciting tanks of the war, the Tiger I & IIs, the Maus, etc, but I'm more interested in the less glamorous 'workhorses', the Shermans, the Panzer III & IV (great vid there btw), and the Stugs.
Would it be possible to see one covering the Stug IIIs and IVs sometime in the future?
Aside from the rather jarring sound effect on a transition, loving these - keep em coming!
Great vid! compliments on that!
excellent reviewing, thank you!
Those Jagdtigers were excellent ambush predators, although plagued with mechanical problems!..., no war winners at all!!
That camo is so clean on the jagdtiger
A Beauty of a beast.
They could cook meals with the engine with the engine deck being a huge BBQ grill, luckily there's a massive hatch at the back for easy access.
The broken spring element on the left side of the Jagdtiger and the engine hatch remained in the Sennelager!
Hands down, German tanks and German technology in the war and couple decades after the war, were the best. Their tanks were the best.
Boy I'd love driving to work in THIS Porche. No problem with parking spaces.
A beast for all time .
just got this tank today, such a beauty
That was it for the inside footage then. *wow*.
that son of a gun can wreck any tank immediately even with only 1 shot
Armoured troops are so professional! Even in surrender they marshall their vehicles with pride.
I loved this video.
Hi
I have one question- today i pay for jagdtiger 8.8 and I don't receive it. Why? I pay with online banking
"IMPRESSIVE!!".
The poor buggers that, as drivers...had to sit under this gun when it fired, must have had their teeth knocked loose....or were in dire need of something stronger than asprin after a few rounds....i sometimes wonder if the war went on for another year or so, what the mouse...then super mouse, then jagd mouse and soviet equivellent would have been like....or worse, 5 more years of war and tanks on wide wheel base platforms with cannon simmilar to the huge 800mm railway guns....they sure liked turning ocean going ships into landships back then.
Thanks for the videos. Is there an active programme to restore more of the vehicles in the museum to running condition?
The Museum are constantly repairing/restoring the vehicles. We were proud to do our bit.

What a beast !
the brackground music is the old login screen theme for the game. aah the old days
The way the Germans weld their tanks together back then was just cool. It always made the most logical choice out of the style of welding back then.
This vehicle was unpopular with its crews. It could barely move, and it was hard to camouflage. It was a great target for air and artillery bombardment.
Great video. Could have sworn I just saw a Mark felton video saying that there were no surviving Porches. He's an expert. I must be mistaken. Cheers!
For such a monstrous vehicle is does seem rather mobile in terms of traverse speed and regular driving speed in the videos shown here.
interesting video :)
kill range of OVER 2000 meters... and still forced to shoot from 500 meters... totaly fair and balanced...
This is a big Self Propelled Howitzer.
When hearing Mr Cutland said PAK80 L/55....at 0:40, I wonder where did he get that? Unless I was wrong, there was PAK80 L/66 considered but never mounted on JT. Only PAK44 L/55 was.
That's an awesome viceo - and truly great vehicle (from a Historical point of view at least). One question! Wasn't Sennelager also an area where they would "school" Panzer-commanders and Panzer/Panzergrenadieren troops?...
3 of these took out 25 American tanks and tank destroyers and no losses, I'll take those numbers all day long or, FOREVER.
@0:42 - 1:18. I'm surprised the battalion surrendered so readily. Just one jagdtiger could still take on a standard Allied tank battalion armed with Shermans or T34s. It could still probably knock out the heavier tanks sent to kill it say an IS3 or Pershing.
Germans never fought the is3
The main reason for the quick surrender was untrained crews. By that point in the war Germany had few veteran crews left. Couple that with no fuel and no air cover and it wasn't such a bad idea for them to surrender.
It's not really that he arrived too late, but the war ended too quickly.
so it arrived late.
Masterincommander This is nonsense, this is like saying that warplanes arrived too late to help Napoleon. It takes time to do technological research. Suddenly the time factor affects only the duration of the war and not technological research.
The Nazi's were evil, but you gotta admit that they had style
Just so beautiful
2 : 29 Jagdtiger's wheels are missing
Im not passing from JT. I love this TD and i really love to destroy High tiers/ficticious tanks with my power cannon :)
1:11 wow thats my hometown.
