Description: New in box. The Jagdtiger was a German heavy tank destroyer used during World War II, known for being the heaviest armored fighting vehicle to see combat. Based on the chassis of the Tiger II (King Tiger), the Jagdtiger was equipped with a massive 128mm Pak 44 L/55 gun, which could penetrate any Allied armor at long ranges. This formidable weapon, combined with thick frontal armor up to 250mm, made the Jagdtiger a powerful adversary on the battlefield, capable of knocking out enemy tanks and fortifications with devastating firepower. However, its heavy weight of nearly 71 tons severely limited its mobility and speed, making it slow and difficult to maneuver on the battlefield. The Jagdtiger's combat effectiveness was further hampered by mechanical unreliability and logistical challenges, such as its high fuel consumption and the difficulty of transporting and maintaining such a large vehicle. Its operational use was limited, with only around 70 units produced, and they saw action primarily on the Western Front in late 1944 and 1945. Despite its powerful armament, the Jagdtiger struggled in the fluid and fast-paced combat of the closing months of the war, often falling victim to air attacks, mechanical breakdowns, or being abandoned by their crews due to a lack of fuel or spare parts. While the Jagdtiger's firepower and armor were formidable, its overall impact on the war was limited by its impracticality and the logistical difficulties it imposed on the German forces.
