Otto Carius commanded Jagd Tiger units in western Europe. His battlefield view was that the main problems for the JT were 1) mechanical failure 2) crew fear of allied fighter bombers 3) sheer inexperience/inadequte training of JT crews. On the rare occasions they were used correctly. Well hidden or dug in in defensive positions they could be formidably destructive. One alone destroyed numerous Shermans together with a substantial number of supporting vehicles. Had the crew then retired by reversing the vehicle the allied tanks could not penetrate the frontal armour. The crew worried about Typhoons or Mustangs panicked and turned the JT around allowing the thinner rear armour to be penetrated after several shots, and yes the JT was capable of shooting through two houses and still killing a Sherman on the other side!

They did break down engines during long travel without transport, they also weren't meant to push hard around the battlefield.

In his book, Tigers in the Mud, Otto Carius said he had the very last Jagdtiger unit formed of men from training and proving grounds. He got this after returning from a convalescence. These vehicles had problems that had not been worked out. The gun couldn't stand to be out of the travel cradle while it was on the road. If it was run outside the cradle the mount went FUBAR. The tracks and drives wore out and broke down because German practice was to use railroads to move tanks long distances. Unfortunately railroads were useless to them at that point.. We now know from other descriptions that the unfortunate German tankers armor and drive components had too little manganese in the steel. The high quality Swedish iron ore had been replaced by high sulfur iron ore from Germany. Also Buna artificial rubber hoses leaked fuel into the engine compartment. The guns like the equally clumsy Stalin tank used bagged charges and separate projectiles. The tanks were sent out as a last ditch unit and almost all of them were broken down and had to be blown up by crews or engineers. He describes a final ambush of Allied tanks in the final pocket of the Wehrmacht in the west. This was by the last two Jagdtigers, where the other vehicles commander refused to fire on he allies since it would have been suicide (in his opinion.) Brave men ran the machines but the NAZI regime built lots of high strung wonderful tanks like the Panther and Royal Tiger when they needed lots of P-IV tanks with Panther guns and P-IV assault guns with Panther guns.

Then Otto Carius writes: ""Had only two or three tank commanders and crews from my company in Russia (Tiger battalion 502) been there with me, then the rumour could have easily been true". So you see, the biggest complaints Otto Carius made about the Jagdtigers were the low quality of the crews using them.

Rubbish, The Germans had no oil to move these monsters, no lubricant, few trained crews. The gun had a 10 degree traverse so the vehicle could be outflanked, each unit absorbed a huge amount of time and scarce resources that would have been far better used building late series panthers, though even these would have been compromised by lack of fuel etc.,

Instead of building 5 Jagdtigers they could build 50 StuG III Of 50 Hetzers .... :) Samen with the Tiger and the Tiger II, they could build more Panther V instead of 1 Tiger of Tiger II

"And anyway why they couldn't build more factories and tanks, as we did?" You've been alread told. The germans weren't only busy in the east. Fighting a multiple front war, but still it took several years till they were beaten. Remember, it took 6 weeks for Wehrmacht to conquer the benelux and France. Russia, USA, UK, Australia, Canada, France and many more... it took them 3 years and more to end the war.

The kinetic energie of an 128mm round is somewhat higher, even if it should not penetrate, it would blow of turrets or smash true the armor due overmatching.

The Jagdtiger often gets criticized for being slow and cumbersome, and while that is true it didn't really matter for the purpose of the tank. Look at that thing, they were made for defensive use exclusively. No allied tank of the time could survive a hit from that nasty 128mm cannon. It had almost impenetrable frontal armor. The only real weakness this beast had was the relative weak engine(which was prone to malfunction).

@IGerIAntistatik we call them tungsten-carbide. They're not radioactive but don't ignite on impact. Against large projectiles it does. The very open, large turret of an Abrams acts like very widely-spaced armor. The same penetration that would blow a leopard apart might take someone's arm off. As for the armor, it is just a generic composite with perforated steel. The wedges help mostly against APDS and are very dependent upon angle. Look at the insides of them.

The Tiger was a good Tank, On average, 7 destroyed Allied tanks for 1 German Tank . The relationship between Tiger and Sherman was even higher. The Tiger and King Tiger was practically indestructible for a Sherman. The Allies won in France only by air superiority, with most German tanks were lying out of fuel and spares shortages and had to be blown up

And here is more from Otto Carius on the Jagdtiger:" A 'TANKER' cannot feel comfortable in an assault gun.We want to be able to turn our weapons 360 degrees. If not, we have no feeling of security and superiority". You see? It was like I said. Otto Carius simply did not enjoy being transferred from a TANK like the Tiger I to an assault gun/tank destroyer like the Jagdtiger. He just wasn't used to the concept of a turretless AFV and was never comfortable with that. Albert Ernst, in contrast..WAS.

@FelixHD1 The US typically had soundness in design, apart from the ammo storage in the Sherman, which was rectified with "wet stowage". Long-lasting tracks, solid suspensions, decent engines, excellent fire controls, modest armor, easy repairability, and numbers.

I see what youre saying, and I understand you may think that sloping is useless now, but one thing, the M1A3 has very shallow armour, and I checked. se second thing is even if certain rounds from tanks do not deflect, and that the composite armour is designed to deform the round, that doesnt mean that they cannot slope it; theyre not two mutually exclusive factors. they will use any countermeasures as possible, sloping is the cheapest method possible. people do it today because it works.

It is true that no King Tiger was ever penetrated frontally on any known occasion, by an Allied AT weapon. Noted armor historian Steven Zaloga did a very thorough search of the known records, and found no evidence that a KT was ever penetrated in this manner. However, they were knocked out via flank and rear shots.

Modern tanks no longer use sloped armour as it is completely useless against modern ammo, they have all reverted back to mostly flat armour and better materials used in the armour itself.

@FelixHD1 Sorry you are wrong Friend: " Development of the M26 began in 1942 as production was beginning on the M4 Sherman medium tank. Initially intended to be a follow-on for the M4, the project was designated T20 and was to serve as a test bed " K Hickman Military History. The German standards rapidly declined after 1943. Engines, steel, etc suffered. The Leopard 2 is far behind the HA (depleted U) version of the Abraams. DU being much denser. Nor can it stand up to DU muntions
@cyonemitsu12 жыл бұрын
I dont think you understand what I mean by sloping... if you look at the actual plates, yes theyre flat, but they are sloped at an angle to increase bouncing chance. the fact that materials have improved and that is key to armour is true, but that doesnt discount the physics of the impact; both armour material and angling is considered in tank development, and any respectable engineer would never consider using unangled armour.

The stug III primarily purpose was of an assault gun in the support infantry role, wich it did in the early stages of the war: The early stug III could not properly be empoyed as a tank killer because of is much short gun. Only in the end of 42 when it was upgraded for the 75 mm medium barrel gun, plus increased armor, it came effective in the defensive tank killer role for it cost, as it replaced lost tanks that cannot be replaceable.

@IGerIAntistatik The wedges on the front of the turret. The M256 is a good cannon. The barrel is shorter, but the breech and absorber are reinforced to take more powder. The Abrams is mostly fighting insurgents and T-72s, and has about the same performance when using US ammo. Longer barrel would just put more strain on the stabilizer. The Abrams, discounting ERA or add-ons, is the most survivable in the world, even with its current armor layout being a decade old.

""And they where a terrible defensive weapon"" Incorrect. In defence, the Jagdtigers actually performed very well considering the numerical superiority of the allies and complete air cover and they took a heavy toll of American armour pushing eastwards into Germany, especially in the Ruhr pocket area and the Saarland. There were just too few of them to make a difference. In defence though, they wrecked a large number of advancing American tanks and other vehicles.
@armatian12 жыл бұрын
There are lots of books answering that, but a tiger II elite crew could fire almost 10 rounds per minute with a low chance of any allied gun penetrating his frontal armor. Costly mammoths got eliminated from armies in land and water warfare after WWII for the resource cost. Main battle tanks (advanced medium tanks) replaced monsters

maybe we are talking about different things; i am saying that modern day battle tanks slope their armour against medium calibre weaponry, it has little to do with tank-on-tank combat, or even against anti-tank defense, the issue is that the ceramic exterior is better suited against the large anti-tank weaponry, but it can get damaged and so to reduce that they angle the armour. as well, I was thinking you were talking about vertical plates, which they do not have.

The German tank defect started with the Tigers and Panthers, the gears that were attached to the chains was buckling under the weight of heavy armour, it was not designed for immense weight, eventually, the gears would just give in- It was the same gears that was used on panzer IIIs and IVs- which are technically Lighter tanks

The 122 mm the is2 and is3 used was very powerful. there are a history where a is2 crew fired by accident an HE round at a tiger.It penetrated at hull MG and went through and exploded on its way out in the back of the tiger.Shot fired from 10-12 metres.This have been on History channel.The Jagdtiger was a different story tho.The IS2 would as you say not had any chance of taking out the JT with a frontal shot! IS2 had a very "soft" armor,so even the 88 could take it out hitting the drivers hatch.

I think he was referring to a flank/rear shot.In1939 the Russians invaded Poland in response to the Molotov-Ribbentropp agreement, after Germany had invaded Poland. It was signed because Stalin knew Russia was in no position to fight Germany effectively (let alone invade Europe), and it also allowed him to fight Japan at Khalkhin Gol which was actually a border dispute. He,of course, had Europe in his sights politically, but after Stalin's officer purge invasion was no option. But who knows?
