Inside The Tanks: The Jagdtiger - World of Tanks

[@KaLNFoRc3R]

I can imagine the crew felt pretty secure inside, and the enemy must have been terrified when they met them.

[@StuSaville]

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"

[@Dreachon]

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.

[@601Hijun106]

Daisuke Fuji The T-95 is so rare and only a few were produced before they realized it was way too slow for warfare.

[@articfever3616]

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.

[@henrikhilskov]

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.

[@Slycarlo]

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.

[@TroopperFoFo]

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.

[@Cragified]

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.

[@glujen]

speak for you

[@donutthephuan7231]

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....

@@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

[@JS-ob4oh]

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.

[@NathanOkun]

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.

[@synapsisflame9721]

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

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.

[@johnpeate4544]

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.

[@WildBillCox13]

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 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.

[@donneale7555]

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....

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!

It's not really that he arrived too late, but the war ended too quickly.

[@Masterincommander]

so it arrived late.

[@KGB95140]

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.

A Jagdtiger has NO advantage over a Panzerschreck, in the Bocage of Normandy. It was designed for open areas (with no fear of air attack) and long range shots.

[@halolime117]

When will we get the Sturmtiger in game?

[@joebfnl1079]

Incorrect!. On the Jagd Tiger, there was two different types of suspension systems!. One was the Henshel type, the second was the Porsche type!.

A great sinopsis of German armo r They had an ability to look ahead in design and capabilities to defeat the allies except the Russian T-34 I often wonder why thry didnt use diesel more frequently as a power plant?

[@AegisEngels1986]

too litle too late... go drink some tea lad, germany fought against the whole world what the hell do you expect?

[@TankJunkie4life]

+Mauricio C. yerrrr no not really, Germany very nearly succeeded in taking on the entire world and claiming victory

[@AegisEngels1986]

AussieWarGamer sadly not even close buddy

[@TankJunkie4life]

What basis do you have to go on? I study Modern history and know how close the reality was. A string of choices made by Hitler lost him the war, looking at it in our time we can see what choices would have given him victory. A major point was the courage of the RAF, if Hitler had of taken Britain there would be no base for Operation overlord

[@AegisEngels1986]

AussieWarGamer My basis? Well... my english is not very good and my basis would be very extensive to cover in a youtube comment, Basically Germany was "allowed" to have army because major powers (USA, UK, France) saw communism as a threat, but Hitler decided attack Poland and France First, Hitler knew that Russia was going to attack Germany sooner or later and he decided to attack first because russia industry wasn't fully developed at the beginning of the invasion, UK and the whole commonwealth could not stop the axis, but Russia was going to attack and then USA would have to enter the war to stop communism to spread across all europe, In fact... that's was the reason USA entered the war, to stop communism not to stop the already "doomed" nazism, Germany in most scenarios would have to fight the whole world, If i was hitler I would attack Russia as soon as possible AFTER signing a peace agreement with UK, and then attack russia with the aid of USA and England, and convince japan to expand over russia, But i'm not sure if such agreement could be done,

[@TankJunkie4life]

+Hoyschel Silversteinberg Operation thunder was barley even brushed over, the pact between Germany and the soviets was certainly shaky, however the Soviet Union was in no shape or form militarily to fight germany. Stalin was surprised by the invasion, hence why so much Soviet land was lost in Barbarossa

Mein Großvater war Fahrer in Otto Carius 'Platoon. Ich habe mehr Bilder von diesen Bildern als wahrscheinlich noch am Leben. einschließlich Bau- und Pistolenhandbücher und Spezifikationen.

[@nationalkapitalismus5953]

I can speak German, it's obvious that you translated your text from English into German. Also, you are probably American/British, I don't think your great-grandfather worked with Otto Carius.
