Jagdpanther

The Jagdpanther - Hunting Panther was a heavy tank destroyer (Jagdpanzer) based on the Panzerkampfwagen V - Panther chassis, it was equipped with the long-barreled 88mm gun of the Königstiger, the L/71. In this video we look at and into the Jagdpanther of the German Panzermuseum Munster.

As always excellent quality reporting

Thanks. Jadpanther was actually a good idea, unlike Tiger and Panthers. Hetzer was an even better idea. I might have done it a little differently, though. Open case mate, 88L but the breech end placed at the rear left with the gunner behind, the ammo placed at the rear right, with the loader in the rear center. Most people are right handed, they could handle the ammo better this way. Also the ammos would be at the least vulnerable part of the chassis. Also, better balance in both longitudinal and transversal. The engine would have been placed on the front, again, acting as both counterweight against the gun, and the ammo, and spaced armor for the crew. The driver would have been behind the engine, and the commander would have sat on center right, both for optimal situational awareness, most people are right eye dominant, and optimal communication with the gunner and the driver.
