Description

Overwhelming superiority of numbers in favor of Allied armored forces towards the end of WWII led to the German Army giving considerable priority to developing new anti-tank equipment.

One result of this was the appearance, early in 1944, of the powerful long-barreled L 71 88mm gun wedded to the Kw V chassis to produce the Sd Kfz 173 self-propelled anti-tank gun, know more familiarly as the Jagd Panther. Mechanically similar to the Kw V, though its speed was governed down to 18mph, the Jagd Panther was a potent weapon indeed, with a high velocity gun able to penetrate 169mm of 60-degree sloped armor at 1000 yards, and a nice clean silhouette achieved by mounting the gun low in the hull.
