[QUOTE]Originally posted by machf: [QB] The subject line should say "[b]der[/b] Zukunft", as IIRC, after the preposition "aus", the Dativ mode is to follow... (BTW, those videos were originally from [URL=http://www.dailytrek.de/index.php?id=10944686704078]The Daily Trekker[/URL]...) Looks to me like the video was captured from a VHS recording... not too much definition. "Those are P-51s!" Yes, and those are Jagdtigers... I wonder what's the purpose of parking a couple tank hunters (which have an impressive 128mm cannon but very limited gun traverse) guarding what is supposed to be a very important building. From the [URL=http://www.achtungpanzer.com/pz12.htm]Achtung, Panzer! site[/URL]: [QUOTE]Jagdtiger resembled King Tiger with the difference of having a superstructure instead of the turret and had much higher profile what made it a large target for the enemy. [/QUOTE] [QUOTE]Jagdtiger suffered from the same problems as Koenigstiger, because of its great weight and high fuel consumption (5 liters per 1km of road) that made it extremely slow. Jagdtiger's breakdown problem was never solved and many were abandoned or blown up by their crews to prevent them from being captured intact by the Allies.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE]Jagdtigers best tactical use was as a well camouflaged static defense pillbox allowing it to use its armament to its full potential. [/QUOTE] [QUOTE]Overall, from July of 1944 to April of 1945, only 85 Jagtigers were manufactured (out of 150 ordered) with known chassis numbers 305001 to 305077 or to 305088.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE]"When the assault guns were calibrated in Sennelager, we experienced our first failure. Despite its 82 tons, our Hunting Tiger didn't want to act like we wanted it to. Only its armor was satisfactory, its maneuverability left a lot to be desired. In addition, it was an assault gun. There was no traversing turret, just an enclosed armored housing. Any large traversing of the main gun had to be done by moving the entire vehicle. Because of that, transmission and steering differentials soon broke down. That such a monstrosity had to be constructed in the final phase of the war made no sense at all." - Otto Carius, "Tiger im Schlamm".[/QUOTE]Definitely not the best choice. They should have placed a couple of K�nigstigers, or maybe a Maus or an E-100 there, which were heavy tanks, with rotating turrets... couldn't they get a model for any of them? And no Flak whatsoever? [/QB][/QUOTE]
