[About the actual vehicle]
――The Jagdtiger is a tank destroyer equipped with a 55 caliber 12.8 cm tank gun, which was first developed in 1943.
――The Tiger II tank, which was developed in parallel, was a tank destroyer with common parts, and a large fixed battle room was set up to accommodate a 12.8 cm gun in a body that was extended by about 26 cm.
--The mockup was completed in October 1943.
――The first production model was completed in February 1944.
--The engine is equipped with a Maybach V-type 12-cylinder gasoline engine at the rear.
-The suspension was equipped with the same torsion bar suspension as the Tiger II tank.
――The body has strong armor with a front of 250 mm and a side of 80 mm, and with the added power of the 12.8 cm gun, it fought hard against the Allied Forces.
