Jagdpanther is a German tank destroyer.

Description[]

The Jagdpanther is a tank destroyer based on the chassis of Panther Ausf G medium tanks. It enjoys a good balance of firepower, armour, and mobility: the 8.8cm PaK 43 anti-tank gun is more than a match for most Allied armoured vehicles, the glacis armour gives adequate protection in typical engagements, and a good power-to-weight ratio gives good speed.

While it is not designed to engage enemy infantry, the Jagdpanther is equipped with one MG 34 machine gun at the front for self-defense.

It can be found on maps set in mid-1944 onward.

Trivia[]

  • The Jagdpanther model in BattleGroup42 represents the late production variant armed with 8.8cm PaK 43/4 L/71.
  • The first model of Jagdpanther made its debut in version 0.8 BETA with several updates to details in subsequent releases, until it was finally replaced in FINAL Release Candidate 4.
