Inside The Tanks: The Jagdpanther - World of Tanks

[@ex59neo53]

My grand-father saw one of these monsters while in the French Resistance ,and told me he was lucky to be in a ditch ... He soon after learned it was part of the infamous Das Reich SS-Panzerdivision . Apart from this , for me it's the most fantastic tank design of history :)

You can genuinely see that he in is element. And that he enjoys his job. I'm quite addicted to this series. I love it. He is also the perfect narrator with his pleasant voice with his very mild but someway pronounced British accent. I could listen to him all day. I don't want to be rude or so... but could it be that he was a Tanker? His stature and the way he moves fits the norm. If yes... The challenger 2 perhaps ?

[@drendolnicar9816]

MrJizzy181 He was a tanker just like Nicholas Moran but in the British army.

[@jonathanjones5465]

I think he has the crew positions confused, as do most people with this tank destroyer. The commander should be in the front, right, and behind the radio operator/bow MG gunner. The reason I say this is because of the periscope in the front right. It is a rotating style, and has the same hatch in it for mounting the binoculars/range finding equipment to that only the commander used. This same rotating periscope design was used in the Jagdtiger, and the commander was in the same spot. The loader could have stood behind him, or behind the gunner, as there would be ample space.

[@petrameyer1121]

An ambush tank, a concept that Wargaming continues to deconstruct be removing bushes and their new idea to put a spotting point at the tip of the gun. Personally the JP is my favorite tank of them all with it's sleek looking form.

[@nagmashot]

why do u guys never visit German tank museums? The Jagdpanther in Muster is fully restored inside out and in much better and fully operatinal conditions... or the JP of the WTS Museum in Koblenz... they realy push it during public dynamic show days... just to get a idea how fast the german cats were in real world

[@MrWilhelm76]

well then ppl get to know how ueber those tanks really were .ofc they had to say "local victories"..i mean hey which tank had a major strategical influence? NO ONE. the Germans won with shit mark 2 and 3 tanks and best tactics first,the allied defeated them with a lot of average tanks and ww1 tactics and their massive,massive numbers. the type of a tank itself was so unimportant actually.raw materials and fuel won or lost war,nthg else. german skills just lenghtened the war unnecessarily.

[@alleskaese]

The IS-2 was not really safe at long range, they are confirmed kills by Nashorn at a range of 4.6 km.

[@alleskaese]

TheXtraMan Russians, only with a lucky shot. German guns was much better in accuracy, penetration and fire of rate. (A german 5 cm gun was almost so strong like a russian 7,6 cm and the german 7,5 cm long version was much stronger.)

[@Lemard77]

Because the IS were showing their thin side to the Nashorn..

[@carlomagno7092]

+alleskaese not really, russian know thaty had solid crap on tracks at the time so they created very big guns like 122 and 152 that shot a 55 kg shell, the impact of this kind of shell is so strong that can crack the armor plate and open the tank like a can of tuna without an actual penetration, hundreds of panthers where destroyed this way

[@alleskaese]

+nabucodonosor II Not really, the 122 and especially the 152 was very inefficient as a anti tank gun, the fire rate from max 2 shot per minute and the accuracy was to bad for this. The guns were not really a threat to the Panther or other medium/heavy tanks. "they were bunker busters and not a anti tank gun"

[@alleskaese]

nabucodonosor II How i said before, the accuracy was really bad to land a hit. The scattering was similar to a artillery or a mortar, a hit was only luck.

[@corey1054]

A perfect tank destroyer. It was relatively reliable, Its main gun was awesome, its armor was very strong and it could even hold off infantry with its MG-34 Up front

[@MegaRaven100]

TO me, simply, this is my favorite armored fighting vehicule of all all time. I used ot dream fantasies about driving this thing into battle. The speed of a Panther and the fighting strength of a King Tiger. Which means you could get out of a hopeless engagement ifneeded unlike the slower heavies. Just perfect and so aesthetically pleasing. So beautiful, so effective.........'.My PRECIOUSSSSSSS!'

[@3amShreddedCheese]

Already looks huge in game, is MASSIVE in reality

[@HighlanderNorth1]

On the outside that tank looks great, but the inside is another issue altogether. I'm actually shocked that they have let it remain in that state of disrepair. I'd bet the breech is rusted shut, and probably none of the gun adjustment devices work. Its as if they found the tank in a field somewhere and decided to leave the interior rusty.

[@VT-mw2zb]

+HighlanderNorth1 Perhaps they should learn it from the Russians. Russians don't throw their obsolete vehicles and weapons away. Perhaps scrap some for some raw materials, but mostly smear the shit out of every surface with cosmoline and shove it into some depilated warehouse for storage. If the frontline first echelon active divisions got wiped out in an invasion, ala Red army circa 1941, then perhaps the reserve vehicles, they will activate the reserves and drag these out of storage. No time to wipe off the grease (if you buy a Russian surples gun, you will know the pain of scrapping cosmoline out of every surface), the crew's uniform will do that. Besides, it will probably be destroyed before the crew can get too discomforted. Then you crank up wartime production. Then the third wave of new tanks will crush the enemy. This is a museum; but at least please slap some Renaissance Wax on them, please

[@mediocrefunkybeat]

+HighlanderNorth1 They probably did find it in a field somewhere. The Tank Museum runs on limited funds so they have to make choices as to which vehicles they fully restore. The exterior is more important, as that's what most people visiting will see.

At 7:00 he says the Commander's position is where he's sitting, at the back left of the vehicle. In fact the commander was at the front right. Where the vision devices are. Of course.

***** But still more loved by it's crew then opentopped PAKs. But you are correct, the STUG was the most produced german armored vehicle of the war. And had the highest kill totals Interestingly it was under the command of the artillerie, not the tank forces, crewed by volunteer.

"Jagdpanzer" doesn't mean "tank destroyer". It means "tank hunter".

LtAce150 Yes, but that's the correct term. "Panzer zerstörer" would mean tank destroyer.

[@JazzJaRa]

Jagdpanzer would mean Hunting tank though ;) Tank Hunter would be "Panzerjäger" ;)

[@Sicklehead88]

jocking3 you can not always translate everything word for word. the english equivalent to "Jagdpanzer" is "tank destroyer". And as JazzJaRa aready pointed out, the word for word translation for Jagdpanzer is "hunt(ing) tank", not "tank hunter".

[@SunnySikdar]

jocking3 Its not a question of meaning or translation. Jagdpanzer is armored vehicle which belongs to "Tank Destroyer" family. "Tank Destroyer" is basically a category where this panzer falls in.

[@paulfabrique5055]

Imagine the smoke and heat in there at the height of battle.... Couldn't have been easy. The thing I like about the Jagdpanther is now the functional requirement, the specification and the design was fulfilled. German Engineering. One wonders what the British would have come up with. If anything. The British were probably too busy asking thier Engineers "What University did you go to?"

That thing really looks menacing

[@davidk6269]

At around 4:50 it is mentioned that the sloping of the armor increases the relative thickness of the armor (using a horizontal measurement) without any increase in weight. This is not correct. By sloping the armor, the plate must cover a larger area than if set vertically. It is a matter of basic geometry. Yes, you reduce the area that the top armor must cover, but don't forget that top armor is much thinner (hence lighter) than the thick frontal armor. The additional area of the plate comes at the cost of additional weight.
