Tank description:
The Jagdtiger is a German tier 9 tank destroyer.Developed from 1942 through 1944, the heavy tank destroyer, with the chassis of the Tiger II heavy tank, became the heaviest mass-produced armored vehicle ever. According to various sources, 70–79 tank destroyers were manufactured from 1944 through 1945. The vehicles saw service in the 653rd and 512th Heavy Panzerjäger Battalions.The undisputed "King" of German tank destroyers before the 7.5 update, and by some still considered to be better than the Jagdpanzer E-100, the Jagdtiger offers thick frontal armor and a selection of two heavy guns capable of dealing massive damage to any target. Due to its high weight, it is slow and unwieldy. The gun mantlet, while thick, shots which hit it still manages to damage the gun. If de-tracked, or attacked from the rear or sides, it will die easily and quickly . Do not approach this tank from the front even if you have a gun with sufficient penetration; it will probably be the last thing you see before becoming a smoking wreck. This tank destroyer is best played with one or two mediums acting in support role, defending its sides and rear. It has large weak spots, as with most German tanks, on the lower glacis plate. There are several places with guaranteed penetration, but those are yours to find. Either way, drive or attack this tank destroyer with caution. Note that the Jagdtiger in World of Tanks is the Henschel version with 9 wheels on each tracks.The Jagdtiger leads to the Jagdpanzer E 100.
