Porsche Jagdtiger (with Zimmermit) Takom-8012

Description

The Jagdtiger was a fearsome German tank destroyer that participated in World War II. This colossal armored vehicle was based on the chassis of the Tiger II heavy tank, and was armed with a 12.8 cm PaK 44 L/55 cannon, one of the most powerful guns of the war.

The Jagdtiger had an impressive armor thickness, making it virtually invulnerable to enemy fire in its day. However, its large size and weight made it slow and difficult to maneuver, making it vulnerable in urban combat and difficult terrain, where it was relatively easy for the transmission to break down if the vehicle was not operated by an experienced driver.

Despite its firepower and protection, the Jagdtiger’s limited mobility and fuel shortages in the final stages of the war limited its effectiveness. Approximately only a few dozen of these vehicles were built, and their combat participation was limited.
