This thing was an absolute beast. basically unbeatable from the front. Your only chance of taking it out was to flank it and even then you'd have to be pretty close to penetrate the 80mm of slightly sloped armor. it was rushed into production which really wrecked havoc on quality control. Also the crew was hastily trained and put into action which only served to increase breakdown problems as an inexperienced driver could easily overwork the engine and cause problems. Otto Carius who survived the war and died at the age of 92 in 2015 was unique for his experience as commander of a Tiger 1 a Tiger 2 and finally a Jagdtiger, he accumulated 150 tank kills by the end of the war. In his book he wrote that in one engagement a Jagdtiger shot through a house, clean to the other side and destroyed a Sherman hiding behind it. He also states that he and this team of Jagdtigers laid out an ambush for a group of Shermans they knew where heading their way. He states that it would have been a massacre for the Americans however the citizens of a nearby town warned the Americans not to advance because "very big German tanks" where waiting for them, lol. This forced Otto and his team to retreat so as not to be flanked. He wrote that in the few engagements he was in the Jagdtiger he lost count of hits he heard hitting the tank, none penetrated. Also according to Wiki the Battle of Remagen - "When they finally engaged the American armor around Herborn, Jagdtigers were able to attack U.S. tanks at up to 3 kilometers (1.9 mi) and reported destroying 30 units." This was perhaps the only time the Jagdtiger was able to utilize its true strength, long range destruction while being immune to anything the allies could muster.

[@r.j.dunnill1465]

+Ingaz The sides and rear were vulnerable to common Allied anti-tank weapons, the roof was vulnerable to plunging artillery fire and the front was vulnerable at close ranges to T30E16 HVAP.

[@ggsay1687]

Ingaz they could be destroyed from air

[@kbanghart]

mechanical breakdowns, lack of fuel... but otherwise a beast

[@ingaz6565]

Both the side and the rear had 80 mm of armor with the sides being at a slight angle making the 80mm more like 85-90 mm of armor. 85mm of armor is not vulnerable to common allied anti tank weapons. The Bazooka being the most common of them all could only penetrate roughly 75 mm and this only when conditions where ideal, close range, and non slopped armor. And the Sherman tank would need to close to within 250 meters to penetrate the side of a Jagdtiger. so basically the Jagdtiger was very well protected from the sides and even the back had 80mm of armor, although not slopped.

[@r.j.dunnill1465]

+Ingas 250 meters? A Soviet firing test conducted against captured King Tigers (same side armor) showed that the American 76mm could defeat the 80mm of slightly angled plate at ranges up to 2000 meters.

I, too, had this model and it was a fun kit. It moved slowly which was a disappointment, but had I known it was more like the real thing, I would have been happier about it. I had a number of Tamiya armor kits as a kid and had fun with them. I still have a number of them that I never put together as I traveled a great deal and never had sufficient room to display them. I'll bet the newest Tamiya kit I have is 40 years old and the oldest is somewhere in its 50's! US and German tanks were my favorites and I studied WW 2 since I was a boy in elementary school.

[@AnikaJarlsdottr]

Inertia Gaming XD

[@barksinternally4175]

UFCMania155 Ok, I hope you are ready. First off, German tanks were EXTREMELY unreliable. More Jagdtigers were disabled due to breaking down than to enemy fire. That is a major issue. The Tiger I was only really the kind of the battlefield for 1-2 years, and after 1943 most american tanks and some british tanks aswell as nearly all russian tanks could destroy them. You have to remember that a Tiger I, Tiger II, or Jagdtiger/Jagdpanther etc were a novelty on the battlefield and were rarely seen. Germany's mass produced Panther II was about equal the the US' M4A3E8 and basically everything from the M4A3 family and also the M4A2 family. An E8 could easily kite and kill a Tiger I. There is also video of a M26 Pershing destroying a Panther. The only real reason Germany had superior tanks for a while was because they had been preparing for a war and as such had been designing tanks, whilst the US had to usher the M4 into production as soon as possible in response.

[@alexbowman7582]

A Tiger’s gun would wear out after 400 or 500 shots of AP rounds. I would imagine that the Jagdtiger’s gun would be roughly the same or perhaps less. I suppose very few wore out. The huge Schwerer Gustav train gun’s barrel wore out after 70 shots. In WW1 artillery factored in barrel wear when working out range.

The strongest tank gun ever built, even up to now. A massive 24.5 Megajoule energy in the projectile. Really impressive. All Western tanks with 120 mm guns have only half of that with ~12 Megajoule, however on a smaller diameter for more penetration.

[@stephenkeebler732]

I spoke to a German Engineer years ago who told me the gun used in the JagdTiger was originally designed for use on all of the German Capital Ships they were going to build! Thus, the design for a Two-Part Round, per Naval safety.

The Panzerfaust was much cheaper and probably destroyed more tanks, albeit at shorter range. The closing line says it all.

[@thethirdman225]

***** Exactly right. Also depends on where they get hit. "Armour guys" like to talk in terms of the thickness of the frontal armour or the mantlet but in reality, that's not what anyone is going to aim for. Even really heavy tanks have their weak points, such as the plate behind the wheels or surrounding the engine bay. Check this picture of a Tiger II. While is wasn't destroyed by a Panzerfaust, the picture shows an awful lot of things which are ignored in these kinds of discussions: www.militaryimages.net/media/tiger-ii-destroyed.15852/full?d=0 Notice how thin the armour is underneath and on the lower sides.

[@tamaspapai7875]

Don't be too sure. Panzerfaust has more than 1 variant. Maybe you know, the PanzerFaust and Panzerschreck were a solid copy of the US bazooka, of course with some modifications of the german engineers. Their penetrations were about 100-150 mm but it was depend on the soldier who used it.He had to be brave to fight with tanks inside 30m. If he lost the target, the tank killed him.

ITT: Lots of people who thought like Hitler did: "Big = impressive = scary". Unfortunately, big gun + big armor = big associated problems. Big fuel consumption during a time when every drop was scarce, big cost when every Reichsmark was scarce, and big strain on supporting parts. Otto Carius said the things were virtually useless except in carefully prepared ambushes because the moment you started driving it cross country without the travel lock, the barrel started swinging and losing zero with the sights and needed to be re-sighted, which took several hours (not under fire, which they rarely were). Yes, I too would have loved to see a working Maus or even a working Ratte or Monster, but only as an appreciative student of history. As a military tactician, the things were just mindbogglingly stupid and wasteful, and proof that Hitler became a shittier general the longer the war went on. There was never anything in the US or Soviet arsenal that demanded such a beast, anyway. Not even the IS series. You don't kill a heavy vehicle with an even heavier one, you think asymmetrically. The Germans could have held on for another year if they'd made nothing but StuG III F/Gs.

[@Custerd1]

I think you just figured out how megalomania works. Or doesn’t, as the case may be.

[@seddicktencate4262]

It would be interesting to find out the relative cost of a Jagdtiger to a StuG III F/G. Suspect that the money/resources for one Jagdtiger would get you ten or more StuG, and the production time would be shorter. It wasn't that a Jagdtiger battalion was not a useful army asset, but having a lot more StuGs would vastly more useful. It is surprising to me that the Germans continue to use the under powered Maybach engine. They had developed compact aerial diesel engines in the 1930s, that had proved too sluggish to be useful for combat aircraft. But the issues that proved troublesome for combat aircraft - no being able to rev up quickly in combat situations - would be inconsequential for a Jagdtiger or Tiger II. The Junkers Jumo 205 had almost 900 hp and could have been adapted for a tank chassis. I have read that the Leyland Motors L60 tank engine used in the Chieftain was based on the Napier Culverin diesel engine that in turn was based on their licensed production of Junkers engines. So it was possible to do this.

[@LordBruuh]

Alex Tocqueville well it's known that Hitler was constantly high on various drugs including meth, so it probably screwed with his decision making.

[@NotTheCIA1961]

So many facts are wrong in this. The Tiger II chassis was 150mm at the front, and thus was same on Jagdtiger. The IS-2 thus would have been incapable of penetrating the tank frontally at essentially all but point blank range, and in combat (IIRC), the Jagdtiger never was penetrated frontally. You also failed to specify the IS tank: The original IS (1) had only an 85mm gun, it was with the arrival of the IS-2 which mounted the 122mm gun.

And pretty much useless. It was unreliable due to engine and transmission being overtaxed, it had pour mobility - especialy at the long haul, and it used up to 1000 liters of fuel on a 100km. The fuel consumption and frequent breakdowns of engine and transmission were cripling flaws, as the state germany was in at the time meant that both fuel and spare parts were in short supply.

ex59neo53 A defensive weapon is only usefull if you can get it where the enemy is attacking. And the JT simply lacked the mobility to get where it was needed.

Sherman Tank : *CONFUSED SCREAMING*

[@CrniWuk]

They really should have mentioned that the upper glacis plate had 150mm of armor angled at 50° which was something like 230 mm or effective armor and the lower glacis plate had 100mm angled at 50° which is comparable to a plate of 155mm thickness without angles. There was barely any gun in WW2 that could really penetrate such values.

[@barksinternally4175]

SU-152, known to penetrate the front of a Ferdinand's Tiger P hull which was somewhere around that if not more.

[@CrniWuk]

Inertia Gaming Hmm, theoretically, probably. But the SU-152 was a bunker-burster really. It was not really a very accurate gun and the low ammo and reload made it less suited for tank hunting. It was usually used in batteries. The Ferdinand though had all around flat armor. Though a 152mm shell sure can mess up your day pretty good, even in a Tiger 2. Still. There is a chance that the AP shell might ricochet from the front of the Tiger 2. Albeit if the distance is high enough the 152mm gun might hit the armor at a very high trajectory and thus having a better chance of penetration. That was one of the advantages of the IS2 with the 122mm gun fighting panthers on larger distances.

[@barksinternally4175]

CrniWuk Not arguing about practicality of a SU-152 sniping one, he was just claiming there was barely any tank that could penetrate that.

[@CrniWuk]

+Inertia Gaming And that';s correct. From ALL of the anti-tank guns used in WW2 barely any was capable of defeating the front armor. I never said impossible :). The 152mm and eventually the soviet 122mm. But hardly the most common anti tank guns used in WW2, which have been 50mm, 75mm and 76mm guns. Albeit, the Tiger 2 and even more so the Jagdtiger have been equally rare opponents! I guess cracks in the armor was much more of a serious issue here than just penetration though. But both, the Tiger 2 and Jagdtiger have been far from invincible machines. As far as I know, several vehicles have been taken out in combat, at least one Tiger 2 in the Ardennes from hits and damages to the guns, tracks and several other key components, while moving trough Stravelot and La Gleize. The Jagdtiger also had always to recalibrate its optics after some time due to vibrations while driving and shooting.

They were not up armed until near the very end of the war. Tigers faced Shermans on numerous occasions, starting in Tunisia in 1943. Tigers had an overall 10 to 1 kill ratio in their favour during WW2. The highest of any tank of WW2. By the way, the Sherman was first built in 1942, not 1943.

+Zach Young Been playing World of Tanks ? :) Yes, there was a Jagdtiger with an 88. Late in the war, hull production outstripped gun production, and since they needed every vehicle they could get as soon as possible, they put the 88mm gun of the Tiger II onto it rather than wait for the 128mm production to catch up.

+PlacidDragon They also got the glacis armour wrong, the video would have you believe the upper plate is 100mm, while in reality it's 150mm thick.

+James V. D. Bosch Armor thickness depends on the model, as it changed throughout its lifespan. If i've understood it correctly, when the IS-2 first appeared, it had 120mm frontal armor. In the 1944 model upgrade however, this was reduced to 100mm, but with a uniform glacis plate angled at 60 degrees (so offering better protection than the 120mm of the previous model).

Most of the 'Wunderwaffe' were being researched, tested and poised to be put into production before the war. It was the early stunning defeats that became the fait accompli and lead to the so called WunderWaffe attempting to be rushed into production too late. For example the Tiger I was designed in 36, and if you look closely the chassis resembles that of the Pzkw IV. I still have trouble understanding why the Nazi Hierarchy waited until late '41 to put Germany on a war footing. Another misnomer is the 'two front war referred to after June '44. In reality Germany had been fighting almost continuously on at least three fronts, if you count the North African theatre, the war in the Atlantic and most importantly the air war. so by '44 Germany was fighting on at least 4 fronts. A French government official visited the still ruinous remains at Stalingrad after the war, and commented' What an incredible people!' to which somebody replied 'Yes the Russians fought very well', but the official replied ' No, I'm talking about the Germans, for getting so far.'

[@novat9731]

The tanks were only useful because of the German retreat. Without the enemy actually coming towards the Germans, the Jagdtiger could never move the distances demanded of tanks earlier in the war. In operation Barbarossa, the early war German tanks could be relied upon to push the Soviet forces hundreds of kilometers before they had to wait for the infantry to move up. The Jagdtiger could barely be relied upon to move a few kilometers to get to a good defensive position, then it could do some maneuvering to aim the gun. But using it in Operation Barbarossa would have been impossible, without newer engine designs.

Well commented about their ponderous bulk although most of tank movements from factory to bases and the front was by rail even in the Barbarossa era also later on the metal quality was less due to a lack of manganese and molybdenum etc hence transmission issues also the quality of fuel was generally poorer as the war progressed and lack of oils

Amazing tank! I think it should get more credit. For a big powerful tank it moves really good in the old movies shown. This late in the war it is incredible that the Germans could build a tank like this. It is no surprise that there were reliability issues which I believe mostly have to do with the bombing of industry, lack of resources and skilled labor. But yes I believe the Germans should have focused what was left of their resources on making as many panthers as possible. Great video.

[@GamesOffNermal]

i would shit myself and lie dead in it if i saw a jagdtiger rolling towards me in the war

[@KilonBerlin]

I will watch it now, but I know that it is the heaviest ever in series built tank until this day! It was using huge ressources that is why I like the "Jagdpanther" more, but the 12,8-cm-PjK 44 L/55 from the Jagdtiger... I think nothing from WW2 hit by this could survive such a caliber with a 55 barrel lenght...the Panzergranate 40 was rare because of the Wolfram, but they tried to use other metal substitutes, but it was still very rare, Panzergranate 39 was standard and largely available, on a 30° degree angel at 2000 meters the Panzergranate 39 was 117 mm! At 500 Meters it was even 166 mm. Panzergranate 40 had 148 mm at 2000 Meters and for 1000 Meters the usual Panzergranate 39 had 143 mm while the Panzergranate 40 had 167 mm penetration! At 500 Meter the few PzGr 40 was not used I guess since at such a short range (930 m/s speed at shooting) it was only 166 vs 178 mm. Imagine the US would already have seen the Danger from Stalin and the 20 July plot would be successfull and the USA would have helped the "New" Non-Hitler Germany to fight Communism... 1,000 of these beasts with enough fuel and Wolfram ammo^^ To compare that: T-34 Model 1940: 15-45 mm armor T-34 Model 1941: 20-52 mm T-34 Model 1942: 20-65 mm T-34 Model 1943: 20-70 mm T-34-85: 20-90 mm Model 1940 had 26 tons, the T-34/85 had 32 tons... I think with that the chassis was "done", The IS-1 and IS-2 had an heavy armour but even this could not survive the Jagdtiger gun...

[@PurpleNugget64]

I don't get why all the Jagdtigers where sent on the western front when the worst you would see is a firefly and the odd Pershing or two when they could have helped destroy the is-2 threat especially the mod 1944 with very sloped armour. Just Soviet ranks in general rather than the Sherman army. It would have cleaned up the soviets big stronk tanks easily. Not to mention their air superior wasn't as intense as the Americans who could wipe out the Jagdtigers before they could even get to combat.

[@thesabreferret]

+PurpleNugget64 Oh it was just the Americans on the Western Front was it?

[@ironvader502]

The Jagdtigers gun was Overkill at ANY front. The Tiger IIs long 88 had no Problems penetrating the IS-2 Mod 1944 from the front, and still at longer Ranges than the IS-2 could do any damals whatsoever to the Tiger

[@BracaPhoto]

I LOVE seeing the huge sloppy welds on the superstructure... the interlocking design was brilliant imo

[@BracaPhoto]

can someone tell me why they "scratched up" the tanks with welds or whatever that was... what was the purpose of this "scratching up" of the structure I see on all the German tanks?? Unskilled machinists practicing welding on the outside just to get practice? help me understand fellow tankers!

Jagdtiger is a very solid tier 9 vehicle in World of Tanks. Even bad players can do some damage in it thanks to its high rate of fire and accurate gun. It hits and penetrates what you point it at. Not as many weird disappearing "phantom" shots as other tanks in the game.

[@hiddokramer]

I dont say this alot but darn!, if i got up to that with my sherman i would just piss the whole tank full of freightment.

[@Toni112007]

Few corrections. Jagdtiger had penetration of 200mm at 1000 meters and 148mm at 2000 meters. Also the part which he claims is 100mm of armor is infact 150mm.

[@invertedv12powerhouse77]

Hé said 167mm when sloped

[@ValentineC137]

+Justin sénéchal it is a raw 150mm

[@Omen_Seven]

Another correction, well, not entirely. He said the gun was the Pak L/55, but its actually Pak 44 L/55. And one more thing, how come he didn't mention the preposterously long Pak 44 L/61, the tank's top gun in World of Tanks? Was that something that only existed in blueprints or was a prototype (like so many vehicles in WoT)?

[@ITFNBiteBayKon]

I have a picture of me next to this exact Jagdtiger

[@themollusc]

Those penetration figures are very understated! Try 173mm at 3000m, against 30 degree sloped RHA.

Take the already overstretched engine of the Tiger and add 20 tonnes. It's a wonder they ever got it to move at all! That gun though, 4 inches of AP at over a mile away and with the German optics, you can be sure they hit what they were aiming for. Great video.

Okay, everyone says that the Jagdtiger is a heavy tank destroyer. It is not. It is a heavy tank incinerator. This tank would turn a Sherman into paper mache.

[@commandershepherd8987]

Hitler thought that BIGGER meant better. In reality, it was a huge waste of Germany's steel resources and instead of building the much agile and deadly Tiger 1 and Panther tanks the German industry was forced to build monstrosities like this...

[@commandershepherd8987]

Dougla Don The Tiger I could cross bridges though, that was a big advantage. Fording across a river is slow and runs the risk of bogging down the tank and killing the crew.

“There’s less than 100 Jagdtigers in action!” “That’s good!” “ Not really,42 of them are in front of us!

[@MichaelOnRockyTop]

Question, why did we have tanks and tank destroyers in WW2? Weren't regular tanks mostly firing to destroy other tanks? Most Tank destroyers had the same gun as the tiger tanks, the 88mm

[@TeddylsALiar]

Tanks in ww2 were basically designed as moving steel bunkers. Not for tank on tank combat. They mosly fired high explosive at emplavements but when enemy countries adopted the same tactics tank destroyers were designed. Hope that answers your question!

[@RyanBLKST]

Tank destroyers are specifically designed to fight tanks (mobility, gun, ammo, ...). Regular tanks in ww2 were designed to bring infantry support (He rounds, mounted MG's, ...)

[@MichaelOnRockyTop]

Why not just put an armor piercing round in a regular tank?

[@triggernutsy1]

not the truth you want to hear guy, but those big guns on the tigers and panthers etc, did nothing. why did the sherman do so well? because it was made right,period

[@bobdroidsky225]

The Russians simply rammed the Tigers using their T-34s when they couldn't penetrate the armor. The Tiger would get stuck, then a couple of Russian tanks would come by and shoot at it point blank. Later in the war the T-34s got bigger guns and better armor yet retained their mobility, enabling them to defeat any German tank. The Russian T-34's superb mobility was due to the Christie suspension-- the guy developed it for the US tanks but got rejected, so he sold it to the Russians.

[@tonikotinurmi9012]

Before, Stalin tried to kill Finland, the kill/lost personnel ratio might have been closer to what Hitler's staff said. USSR Attacked Finland before and after(oh well Finland was in the aftermath willingly) WW2-and Soviets had to make lots of new tanks and designs to be able to fight even a very agricultural country like Finland (for example, a way to stop T-34 was to stick in your pothole, then put a birch part on from side of the tank...). Tanks got through Finnish borders but when nothing else did they got destroyed (some got back after a day or so, but very few). These "motti" fights might be 20-1, especially since Finland had not enough bullets so they let some russians escape to the unforgiving meter-thick snow they (ukrainians) had no knowledge of...

Real piece of work, but then again, so is most of the WGEU payroll.
