Overview of the German PT-saau9 Jagdtiger. Self-propelled Artillery Installation "Yagdtigr" (Panzerjäger Tiger) She is Jagdtiger, index SD.KFZ.186 Jagdtigr WOT

Following the tradition, which was formed in the first years of World War II, was to use tanks-standing tanks to create SAU based on their base by mounting not their lagging gender chassis, German designers immediately saw in the new hard tank Pzkpfw. VI "Tiger II" is a good base for heavy duty self-propelled. Since the heavy tank was armed with an 88-mm long-standing gun, SAU, according to logic, was to arm a more powerful 128-mm tool, as developed on the basis of zenith. Despite the fact that the initial rate of the projectile was less, on large distances, the armored airproof 128-mm gun was higher. Armed with this instrument of SAU became the most powerful German serial machine, which on the battlefield the role of support for infantry and anti-armored vehicles was assigned to the allies in long distances.

Experimental design work on the creation of heavy SAU was conducted in Germany since the early 1940s and even led to local successes. In the summer of 1942, two 128-mm sau on the basis of VK 3001 (h) were sent to the Eastern Front under Stalingrad. One of these machines was lost in battle, the other together with the remaining technique of the 521st Tanco-Fighter Division was thrown by Wehrmacht after the defeat of the German-fascist group near Stalingrad in early 1943.

At the same time, even the death of the 6th Army Paulus did not affect the launch of such a SAU in a series. In society and the ruling circles, ideas were dominated by the fact that the war ended for German winning. Only after the defeat on the Kursk arc, in North Africa and the allied landing in Italy, many Germans, blinded by propaganda, realized reality - the cumulative forces of the anti-Hitler coalition countries have many times exceeded the forces of Germany and Japan, to save the digestive German state could only "miracle".

Then the conversations of the "miracle weapons" began, which will be able to change the course of the whole war. Such rumors were officially German propaganda, which promised the people of Germany a quick change of the situation on the fronts. At the same time, there were no developmentally effective in the global plan (nuclear and its analogs) in Germany. Therefore, Reich's leadership was forced to grab any significant military-technical projects that were capable of their originality and unusual functions along with defensive opportunities to perform psychological functions, inspiring the people of thought about the strength and power of the state, which can create such a complex technique. It was in a similar situation that a heavy fighter of tanks - SAU "Yagdtigr" was created and launched into a series. Jagdtiger has become the most severe sample of serial armored vehicles produced during the Second World War.

The new SAU was classified as a 128-mm heavy assault tool. Its main weapons should be 128-mm Pak 44 gun, created on the basis of an anti-aircraft gun Flak 40. A fragic-fuza ammunition of this tool had a greater fundal effect than that of similar anti-aircraft. The wooden layout of the future SAU was presented to Hitler on October 20, 1943 at the Aris Polygon in East Prussia. SAU "Yagdtigr" made a favorable impression on the Fuhrera, and he gave an order about the beginning of her serial release in 1944.

Design Description

The general layout of SAU Jagdtiger as a whole repeated the tank "Royal Tiger". At the same time, the load on the chassis during a shot has increased, so the chassis has been lengthened by 260 mm. The separation of self-propelled control was in the front of the machine. Here were the main friction, the mechanism of rotation and gearbox. To the left of it was the controls, dashboard and the driver of the driver. On the right in the case was set by the exchange machine gun and the arrow-radar seat. Here, above the gearbox and right side transmission there was a radio station.

In the CAU housing, the Yagdtigr used six types of plates with a thickness of 40 to 150 mm. The upper front sheet of the housing had a thickness of 150 mm., It was solid and had only one embrasure to install a course machine gun. At the top of the windshield case, a special neckline was made, which provided the driver best Overview From the car. In addition, in the front of the roof of the housing, the landing hatches of the Radrute Arrow and the Mechanics-Driver were located.

The combat department was placed in the middle part of the SAU. Here was a armored hatch with an instrument. To the left of the gun was the guidance mechanisms, a periscopic sight, a gunner seat. The seat of the commander was located on the right of the gun. On the floor of the battle compartment and on the walls of the roaster there was an ammunition for a cannon. In the back of the logging there were places for two chargers.

In the engine compartment, located in the stern of the case there was a motor setting, cooling system radiators, fans, fuel tanks. The engine compartment was separated from the combat partition. The same engine was installed on the "yagidarra" as on the pzKPFW VI tank "Tiger II" - 12 cylinder V shaped (collapse of cylinders of 60 degrees) carburetor "Maybach" HL230P30, which developed the maximum power in 700 hp at 3,000 rpm. (In practice, the number of revolutions did not exceed 2,500).

It should be noted that the BrononorPus SAU "Yagdtigr" practically did not undergo changes in any part of the design or in part of the booking. The side of the cutting was represented by one whole with the sides of the body and possessed the same armor in 80 mm. The side of the cutting had the slope of armoredists in 25 degrees. The frontal and feed sheets of logging between themselves combined "in the spike", further intensified with the swords, after which they were evilored. The thickness of the windshield sheet reached 250 mm., Lob's logged sheet was located at an angle of 15 degrees. It was not one of the anti-tank drugs to the forecast in the forehead with a distance of more than 400 meters. The feed sheet of cutting also had a thickness of 80 mm. In the feed sheet of logging there was a hatch for loading the ammunition, dismantling the guns and evacuation of the crew, the hatch was closed with a special two-sided lid on the hinges.

The roof of the cutting was made of 40-mm ingrain and was attached to the body using bolts. Front of the right in it was the rotating commander's turret with a review device, which was covered with a P-shaped armor. In front of the turret in the roof of the roaster there was a hatch to install a stereotrub. Behind the commander's turreka there was a hatch for landing / landing the commander, and to the left of him an ambrusura periscopic tool gun. In addition, the melee device, 4 surveillance and fan devices, was installed here.

In the embrasure of the windshield sheet, covered with a massive cast mask, a 128 mm Stuk 44 gun (or PAK 80) was mounted. The initial velocity of the armor-piercing projectile of this tool was 920 m / s. The length of the gun was equal to 55 calibers and accounted for (7 020 mm). Full weight - 7,000 kg. The gun had a wedge, a horizontal shutter, which was automated on ¼. The opening of the shutter and the extraction of the sleeve exercised the gunner, and after reaching the shell and charge, the shutter was closed automatically.

The gun was mounted on a special machine, which was installed in the self-propelled housing. The corners of the vertical tip ranged from -7 to +15 degrees, horizontal - 10 degrees in each direction. Anti-tooth devices were above the gun barrel. The maximum slot length was 900 mm. The largest shooting range of fragmentation fugasic shells accounted for 12.5 km. Stuk 44 was distinguished from his progenitor of the Flak 40 anti-aircraft gun. In a fairly close hatching of SAU with bulky unitary ammunition, it would not be possible to turn around. To speed up the charging process in the crew, Jagdtiger was 2 chargers. While one of them sent a shell in Kamorra, the second served a sleeve with a charge. Despite the presence of two chargecharging guns in the level of 2-3 shots per minute. Amusement guns consisted of 40 shots.

The periscopic sight WZF 2/1, used on self-propeller, had a 10-fold increase and field of view of 7 degrees, with the help of this sight it was possible to hit targets at a distance of 4 km.

The auxiliary armament of the "Yagdithigra" consisted of the MG 34 course machine gun, which was located in a special ball unit in the windshield sheet of the case. The machine gun amplifier was 1,500 ammunition. Additionally, a special 92-mm anti-personnel grenade launcher was installed on the roof of the cutting - a melee weapon. On the latter release machines, a special bracket was also installed on the roof of the roof for installing the anti-aircraft gun MG 42.

Epic with suspension

The assembly of Sau Jagdtiger (as well as the Tiger II tank itself) was the most time-consuming operation, which significantly detained the production process. That is why the Design Bureau of Ferdinand Porsche in the order of a private initiative, a proposal was made to use the suspension on this SAU, similar to the one that was installed on PT-SAU "Ferdinand".

Its peculiarity was that the torsion was not inside the hull, but outside inside special trolleys. Each of these longitudinally located torsion served 2 support rinks. Winning in the mass when using such a suspension was 2,680 kg. In addition, the installation and twisting of the torsions of the standard suspension of the company Henchel was possible only in the assembled body, in a strict sequence when applying a special winch. The replacement of balancing suspension and torsion can be carried out only in the factory conditions. The assembly of the suspension of the structure of Porsche could be performed separately from the housing, and the installation was carried out without using special equipment. Repair and replacement of suspension units could be carried out in front-line conditions and did not prevent special difficulties.

In total, 7 machines (5 serial samples and 2 prototypes) were manufactured with Porsche suspension, the first "Jagdtigr" with Porsche suspension came out even earlier than the HENSCHEL SAU. Nevertheless, despite all the advantages of Porsche suspension, another car went to the series of arms management. The main reason was more than stretched relations between the famous designer and officials of the ministry, as well as breakdowns of one of the carts during the tests, which, by the way, occurred due to the fault of the manufacturer's company. It is also impossible to discount and the fact that in the management of weapons wanted to achieve maximum unification between SAU and the Royal Tiger Tank.

As a result, the running part of the serial "Yagdtigig" consisted of 9 all-metal dual support rollers with internal depreciation (for each board). The rollers were arranged in a chess order (5 in the external row and 4 in the internal). Dimensions of rinks were 800x95 mm. The suspension of them was an individual torsion. Balances of the front and rear rinks were equipped with hydraulic shock absorbers, which were inside the case.

In total, from July to April 1945 in Germany, it was collected from 70 to 79 such self-containers, so there was no speech about any massive application. Most often, SAU "Yagdtigr" entered into a battle, or individually, entering the launch of the formed combat groups. The chassis of the car was too overloaded, which led to low mobility and frequent breakdowns. For this reason, the construction of two stationary subversive charges was envisaged in the SAU design. One was under the executioner of the gun, the second under the engine. Most of the SAU was destroyed by its own crews, if it is impossible to tow the car in the rear. The use of Yagdtigrov was episodic, but any of their appearance in battle was a big headache for the allies. The gun installed on SAU made it without any problems to hit any allies tank with a replaceable distance of 2.5 km.

Overview Video Hyde Jagdtiger

After a short break, we continue to consider military technique Jagdtiger Wot. In this issue, we will analyze one of the most dangerous machines - the Great and terrible Jagdtiger. Yagdtigr or as gentlely called Yaga - the top German PT scanner of the 9th level. From today's guide you will learn about strong and weaknesses Machines, what equipment and equipment is worth putting on it, how to pump the crew than this PT differs from classmates and how to implement the main advantages of Jagdtiger?

Let's start with the parsing of TTX this PT. The first thing that immediately rushes into the eyes is a huge margin of safety, almost like the 9th level of 1800, is the best indicator among all PTs of the 9th level. For comparisons at T-95 1700, in T-30 1760, and and only 1600. Again, Yaga, the best overview among classmates 393 meters without modules. Despite our monstrous mass of 70 tons, Yak Tiger has a very good overclocking dynamics, maximum speed 28 km / h, our PT-WALL is very torn. But this is with a top engine, in the drama, unfortunately, everything is much sadder.

Now you are represented by the dynamics of all PT of the 9th level, Yagdtigr lags behind the object and, and overtakes. With reservations, Yaga is not so simple, 250 mm is in TTH, but this armor is only in the mask and the surrounding cut, which is at an angle of 75 degrees. The hull in Yaga is almost completely borrowed from the royal tiger. His defense is already for the 9 levels, unfortunately, is insufficient. The upper front sheet has a thickness of 150 mm, with a slope of 40 degrees, lower - 120 mm with the same tilt. The thickness of the sides and karma is substantially less - only 80 mm, the armor on the roof we have funny at all - just 45 mm. The above armor is obtained by the following: in the cut of 250 mm, in the upper part of the case - 195 mm, in the bottom - only 156 mm. As a result of the Shot tests, the following was found out. Under a direct zero angle, the lower armorist is capable of piercing the guns from the 7th level and above, the top - from the 8th, well, the area with the mask and the cutting is given only to the rules of the 10th level, and it is not always.

Now let's look at the berry at an angle. Before you sample, how to properly get up on this typewriter in relation to the enemy, it turns out an angle of 15-20 degrees. With this position, the enemy cannot punch us in the side even from the top guns, well, and our frontal projections receive a bonus in armor, which means it lives longer. If we met a not very skillful player, you can use tactics as in Ferdinand: Watch the body is extremely strong, looking at the end of the opponent, as a result we have almost a guaranteed chance of not getting damage. Although it is worth remembering that if the enemy is a smart, he can just knock the caterpillar to us and then it will become much more difficult to live. We note the vulnerable places of the Yak Tiger, for example, this machine gun that even caches even County, another Yaga is very easy to break the engine, for this you need to beat into the lower armorist. By the way, the alert in this Fri is located in this place, it is strong enough, so it is possible to damage it, and even more so to break it will be only from the 8-10 level tools, also in this zone there is a gunner and charging. The next our item is definitely a gun. Initially, we are given an instrument from Fedi, about which we told in the previous guide, it is good, but only before you test the top gun for 65 thousand experience. She is just excellent, it is one of the best guns in the game. You just look at: Magnificent rainfacialness, the best DPM in the game, even without equipment and combat brotherhood, it is 2940, the rate of fire is 11 seconds with an amount of 9, 9 seconds, with a fan of 9.6 seconds, armor in 276 mm, on this parameter of us The only object 704 exceeds. And finally, our cannon is simply excellent accuracy. The enemy is at a distance of 600 m, not a problem, in 8 cases out of 10 we will fall into the goal. And already at a distance of 200-300 m, you can safely felt weak points from the enemy tanks. That's just one trouble at the gun compared to the object 704 and the T-30 - Yagdtigr applies less damage for one shot - 560, but we still have an alpha strike than Fosha. Well, since we started the accuracy, we will give a small advice on the maintenance of fire: when shooting at large distances - 300 m and further on the shell suddenly, the force of attraction of the earth is beginning to act, so in such cases it is better to go about the upper third of the opponent's tank. As for the imperceptibility of the tank, then everything is bad, Jagdtiger is one of the most overall machines, and she has one of the highest substitution factors, except that the mouse glows better. Jagdtigr with an imminent disguise in the state of rest glows from Pattone with optics at a distance of 435 m, when shooting and movement, the maximum possible - 445 m. When pumping, Patton sees yagdtigra from a distance of 415 m, and when driving or shooting, again the same 445 m . Yaga has another "minus": because of its super-gun, sizes and weak armor in the building, we are one of the most desirable opponent's goals, especially for art. In fact, even if the mouse is more than us, then she has at least a armor, but thanks to how it was said earlier, our extremely low armor, sides and karma from the enemy's art have a very good chance to apply a monstrous damage to us, Through your fugas.

Now let's find out which modules should put on our car death. Immediately I want to warn you from installing such modules as a camouflage network and podbo. The first module gives an extremely small bonus for disguise - only a few meters, and the second is not enough that our PT will lose, it does not help in battle, because the armor on the sides and from the rear we have an extremely weak. Note: Antioxcine subboings reduces damage not from direct hit by a fugas, but from his awesome. If you like urban life, you should put such modules: the rate, the fan and the third module optionally, the box is suitable for the tools, especially if your crew is not trained in repair skills, because the caterpillars will beat us often, or you can put optics Our rather big review has increased even more. Strengthened entry actuators will be useless because in close distances, we will reduce our Fri, so extremely fast. However, if the urban life does not like and you want to stay sniper, that is, beat from afar, then your equipment will be as follows: the rate, stereotrub, and again the fan or reinforced vending actuators, in this case they can be useful. Well, finally, the option for all occasions: Cheap, optics and reinforced vending drives. In consumables, everything is quite standard: Remkomplekt, first aid kit and fire extinguisher.

Now let's talk about the crew skills. The commander should first download the sixth sense, then the eagle eye, the rest first of all the repair, and the second skill they will go, at the gunner - a sniper, the driver selects the virtuoso skill, the radio operate takes the radio personchvat, it is advisable to boil the radio accomplishment and intuition. Let the third skill be supp than all - the Brotherhood. The skill masking on Yagdtigre is almost useless, even with maximum pumping, the winnings will be only 15-20 m, so it can be boldly not to pump. These skills give our Yaga a good fighting bonus. As already mentioned, Jagdtiger with a fan and the rate is charged for 9, 6 seconds, the Brotherhood of War Reduces recharge time up to 9.4 seconds, the difference on the fifth share of a second is not so great, but do not forget that the brotherhood improves all the characteristics of our PT. All, with tests we finished, go to battle.

In the event that we managed to get into the city card, such as, you should immediately take a position where we would meet an opponent Anna Average - long distances, and it would be difficult for him to go to the flank. Hold onto the narrow streets, for example, in Eng, this is the first and third lines, on Khimki - the third, as well as you can get into the banana and upset the enemy several times with your homes. Use the terrain and corpses of tanks to cover your housing from the enemy fire. Do not forget our mask able to punch only the most powerful guns. There are constantly situations in the city when the Yak Tiger is shooting with the tights of the enemy if the enemy is one and has a gun from the 9th level and above, then you should go to the clinch with it, if the locality and distance of the battle are allowed. A random enemy is deprived of a chance to get to us in the lower armorist and for some reason often trying to break through our mask, as a result, we do not get damage, which means we live longer. On open cards, such as Malinovka and Prokhorovka stand for double bushes or for one bush at a distance of 15 meters from it. Do not forget to make sure that the bushes reliably hide your huge carcass. Try to take a position from which you can shoot several directions at once. It is best for this hill fit. If your team is going to smash the enemy, try to keep in the second wave, at a distance of 200-300 meters from the enemy, so that it was more difficult for you, while we ourselves are guaranteed to fall and damage. On the maps of the type "No fish, nor meat", that is, where there are neither bushes for us, nor a large city, such as the Rock or El Haluef, difficult to say how to play. Try to take the position most secure from the art, use your high accuracy, meet the enemy from afar and in those places where it is especially vulnerable, for example, on the bridge on the Erlinberg map. In battle it is especially important not to run away from your team. Yaga One in the field is not a warrior, anyone who has seen from behind or is able to quickly cut our lives, try to stay near the allies. But at the same time, do not forget to implement a high DPM to a complete coil, otherwise you risk playing a fight. Wise decision will be watching after the start of the battle, where most of our team goes and go to the opposite direction, but not there, where no one went. With the support of a pair of tanks, Jagdtigr is able to restrain even a very powerful Rush. It is very good to play in the platoon and not necessarily together with PT, the main thing that you can help each other in any direction.

Place the game on different cards is complete. However, since it is quite often a random to throw us against other PTs of the 9th level, then you should tell you how to kill them most effectively. You can not even consider whether this PT is made into any area of \u200b\u200bthe hull. With everything more difficult, the front armor of this combat vehicle is very strong, however, there are weak spots. For example, the lower armorist and two turrets of the commander, more priority to the turrets, there is the least weak armor, even in them and it is more difficult to get. The next rival is the object 704, the lower armorist is very thin, but there can be aimed only in the near distances, the shell simply can fly under the object. On the middle distance, it is better to beat the star on the housing - this is the most convenient place for breaking through the 704th. Well, finally, French Fosh. For our gun, the Frenchman is not problem, it is not necessary to beat except that in the seam or mask, the likelihood probability is great. Now let's look at weak places in heavy. Everything is simple, almost for all TT is the lower armorist and the tower of the commander. They also have some distinctive places to shoot. For example, y and is a hatch of mehvoda, with our gun he confidently makes his way. The sneaker is a machine-gun nest, the mouse is cheeks, and so on. Well, with you, you should not have any problems, their armor holds except our funds. It is better to beat them simply into the tower, we are trying and from the crew of someone to the world will send.

Summing up It can be said that Jagdtiger is a powerful PT with an extremely efficient tool with a better DPM, excellent accuracy, armored corporate, damage, and with its considerable weight, which has quite alert mobility. Yagdtigr is able to influence the outcome of the battle, and when used by the use of the proposed tactic, it is able to win victories even in hopeless situations. But on the way to proud rank of "stick-bending" of all times and peoples, we have such things like big size, High visibility, rather weak body booking, as well as extremely high priority among enemies.

That's all before the meeting in new releases!

Self-propelled "Yagdtigr" was the last argument of Hitler's Germany to change the course of the war in a more favorable direction for himself. It is difficult to be guided by the logic of the creators of this self-propelled, because at the time of the creation of SAU "Yagdtigr" in Germany, there was already armored vehicles able to easily fear any allies tanks. Perhaps the creators of this car were guided by the fact that the German 75mm and 88mm tank tools had anti-tank orientation and did not give a sufficient fundamental effect. Whatever the desire to join good armor-piercing and fuhasic characteristics was the reason for the appearance of Yagdtigr. SAU "Yagdtigr" turned out to be the most severe self-propelled for World War II. Its 128mm cannon could break through absolutely any tank at a distance of 1.5 km, the frontal 250mm armor was almost invulnerable for most of the guns of his rivals.

As a chassis for SAU "Yagdtigr", "Royal Tiger" Tiger II was elected, extending the body for 25 cm and leaving everything else unchanged including two sets of caterpillars - narrow transport and broad combat. The inheritance from Tiger II also got a coursework MG 34 machine gun in a ball unit in the windshield of the case. Inside SAU was another 7.92mm air defense MG 34 (MG 42), 9mm MP 38/40 and 27mm Walter Signal Pistol.

It should be noted that the tank bronorcupus almost did not undergo changes in any part of the structure or in part of the thickness of the armor. The side of the cutting was one whole with the sides of the body and had the same thickness - 80 mm. The frontal and feed sheets of rings were connected to the sides "in the thorn", intensified with the swords, and then evalued. The thickness of the head of the logging was reached 250 mm, it was located at an angle of 75 ° from the horizontal, which made it almost invulnerable to all anti-tank agents of the enemy at a distance of over 400 m. Feed leaf had a thickness of 80 mm. It was located in it to dismantle the guns, loading the ammunition and evacuation of the crew, which closed by a two-rolled lid on the hinges. The roof of the cutting was made of 40 mm of an armoredist and was attached to the body bolts. In the right front of the roof of the roof, the commander rotating observational turret was located, covered with a P-shaped armor. In front of the device in the roof of the turret there was a hatch to install a stereotrub. Over the commander's turret, there was a landing hatch of the commander, and to the left of it - the ambrusura periscopic sight of the gun. In addition, a fan, "melee device" and four observation devices were installed in the roof of the cutting.

In the ambrusura of the front sheath of the cut, covered with a massive cast mask, a 12.8 cm Pak 44 (PAK 80) of a 128 mm caliber was installed. The initial speed of the armor-piercing projectile reached 920 m / s. The length of the gun, developed by the company Kgarr and manufactured at the BERTHA-Werke enterprise in Breslau, was 55 calibers (7020 mm). The mass of the gun is 7000 kg. The shutter is a wedge, horizontal, had 1/4 of automation, that is, the opening of the shutter and the extraction of the sleeve was performed manually, and after reaching the projectile and charge, the shutter was closed automatically. The gun was mounted on a special machine installed in the SAU Case. Vertical guidance was carried out from -7 ° to + 15 °, horizontal - 10 ° to the side. The anti-digit devices were located above the barrel of the gun. Limit length of rollback - 900 mm. The greatest shooting range by a fragmentary fugasal shell reached 12.5 km. As already noted, the Cancer 84 was distinguished from the 128 mm anti-aircraft gun Flak 40 separate-gilome charging. In the cramp of SAU with a bulky and heavy "unitar" there was no possibility to turn around. To speed up the process of charging in the crew "Yagdtigig" included two charges: while one sent a shell in Kamor, another - she served a sleeve with a charge. Nevertheless, the rapidity of the "Yagdtigra" did not exceed 2 - 3 ducts / min.

SAU ammunition was located on the floor of the combat branch and sides of the cutting in the hose laying and amounted to 38 - 40 shots. The periscopic sight WZF 2/1 had a tenfold increase and a field of view 7 °, which made it possible to affect the targets at a distance of up to 4000 m. The auxiliary armament of "Yagdtigra" consisted of a machine gun MG 34 placed in a ball unit in the windshield sheet of the case. Machine gun ammunition - 1500 cartridges. On the roof of the cutting was mounted "Melee Device" - 26 mm anti-personnel grenade launcher. On the later releases, an anti-aircraft machine gun Mg 42 began to be installed.

In the ammunition Cancer 44 included shots with an armor-piercing shell weighing 28.3 kg and a fragmentary weight of 28 kg. Cancer Cancer 44 was 200 mm at a distance of 1.5 km. The gun could hit any Soviet, American or English tank at distances for them are proceedable. In addition, due to the large mass of the projectile, when it gets into a tank, even without breaking through armor, in 90% of cases, he still failed.

The crew consisted of self-propelled guns consisted of 6 people: the commander to the left of the gun, in the cut; Pressman - in front of the commander; Two charging - to the right of the gun; Driver - left in front of the case; The shooter-radioist is to the right of the driver.

Booking "Yagdtigra" was an emergency, the thickness of the front armor of the cutting was 250mm, and the hull is 150 mm on top and 100mm from the bottom, 80mm. As a result, the combat weight of the machine was 71,700 kg and exceeded the weight of Tiger II of approximately 3,700 kg. Because of the big logging, Yagdtigr had a height of 2.82 m. If the felling on the CAU "Ferdinand" was fed to the body with bolts, then on the "Yagdtigre" the case and cutting was one whole. Armor was rolling, homogeneous and connected in a thorns with double boiling with electric welding. It should be noted, the atypidity of the fact that the sizes and the weight of SAU turned out more than that of the tank, on the basis of which, the SAU was created.

While testing "Yagdtigra" many problems revealed, eliminate which never succeeded until the end of the war. Tighted and extremely not reliable running Tiger II, on a huge self-propeller, it was below any criticism. MAYBACH HL230 P30 gasoline engine per 700 hp And the gearbox clearly did not cope with the weight of the machine: the electrical power of the engine is 9.8 hp / ton. Although the transmission of Maybach-Olvar 40 12 16 B had 8 front velocities and 4 rear, the car moved alternately. In combat caterpillars, 79 cm wide, the specific pressure on the ground is 1.07 kg / cm2. The reversal radius is 4.8 m. Fuel consumption of more than 5 liters per kilometer, limited autonomy to 170 km on the road. The stated passport speed on the 38km / h highway was almost never achieved, but the engine overheating was often happening, especially with a lifting even on a slight slope.

SAU serial release began in July 1944 on the branch of the Austrian Concern Steere Daimler-Pooh, at the NibelunGenWerke plant in St.Valentine. According to weapons management plans ground Forces It was prescribed to make 150 heavy SAU "Yagdtigr" AUSF B. But at the present production "Yagdtigr" was activated only in January 1945. In April 1944, 4 SAU from 88mm PAK 43 L / 71 gun and the official name Panzerjager Tiger Mit 88mm Pak 43 came from the factory gate / 3 (sf.) (SD. Kfz.185). Until the end of 1944, 48 SAU issued. And from July 1944 to March 1945, the only manufacturer of Yagdtigr enterprise Nibelungenwerke manufactured 74 heavy tank fighters "Yagdtigr" not counting three prototypes.

Based on the extended low reliability, to avoid hitting a faulty machine into the hands of the allies, in the "Yagdtigr" there were 2 subversive charges - under the executioner of the gun and under the engine. And in all likelihood, the main "losses" of this self-propeller just fell on these charges shown by their own crews.

On the Eastern Front, Yagdtigru did not have a chance, and the American "Sherman" turned out to be his opponent. Difficulties with the movement of such a large machine to the place of hostilities reduced the possible combat potential of this machine to modest results. From of various kinds The breakdowns they were constantly in repair. Although when they were tested to take part in the fighting, their effectiveness was sufficiently high.

For example, on March 10, the 112th company of the 512th battalion of heavy fighters tanks entered into battle with American troops in the village of Remagen on the banks of the Rhine. Guns "Yagdtigrov" hit american tanks At a distance of 2500 m. After battles under the city of Ziga, the company included several assault guns Stug III and Pz.IV tanks and transformed into the ERNST combat group, named after her commander - Captain Albert Ernsta. The combat group took defense on the dominant of the heights on the bank of the river. Rur. When a large column of American troops appeared, the Germans hit her a squall fire. "Yagdtigra" fired a long goal, and assault tools and tanks - close. As a result, the Americans lost 11 tanks and up to 50 other combat and transport machines. The Germans lost one "Yagdtigr", astounded with a rocket brushed from the R-51 fighter "Mustang".

"Jagdtigra" took part in the battles in the "Ruhr bag". According to some foreign sources, on April 11, 1945, in the area of \u200b\u200bUnna Rota Otto Carius, about 15 opponent tanks were shot.

Ultimately, the majority of the surviving "Jagdtigrov" were in the hands of American allies after passing their crews, because I couldn't even fight the American aircraft, Jagdtigr, one trophy "Jagdtigr" is located in the museum of armored vehicles in Cuban near Moscow.

Conceived as another WunderWaffe ("Miracle weapon"), which should have changed the course of war, "Yagdtigr" did not meet the hopes imposed on him, becoming the same excessive and virtually useless combat vehicle, like the "Royal Tiger": "The goals worthy of worthy 128-mm guns, no opponents of Hitler's Germany did not have. From the metal necessary for the manufacture of one "jagditigra", four "hetcera" could be made - the best light anti-tank SAU times of war, from which there was much more sense! "

The Germans developed magnificent engineering and technical structures during the total war - the first and second tigers, the Panther, the Jagdanne, Yagdtigr - but such a complex technique need to be developed, testing and bringing to mind in peaceful conditions, and not in the conditions of acute deficit of everything and everything. So it was not necessary to make the Germans to untie the second world slaughter. And why during the total war of developing such a technique?

Through the owners of honey, a new hunter appears in the game - Jagdtiger (H), Premium PT 8 level. The car has already passed the field tests on the Super Test, so soon will appear in the game store. If judged by appearance, New self-propeller resembles a loved one by many Fri Jugdtiger 8.8. However, there are also significant differences between the machines that we will consider in detail. The new premium tank Jagdtiger (H) will not be a preferential machine.

Historical Facts Jagdtiger (H)

It should be noted that Jagdtiger (H) has a relatively good maximum speed at 38 km / h, while the dynamics and maneuverability leave much to be desired. In addition, self-propelled shirt is a "happy" holder of a high silhouette, which reduces the nonsense ratio: hide such a shed in the bushes will be difficult.
Jagdtiger (H) will enjoy it with many, it is not literally not to complain about. Armor-piercing armofotting is 246 millimeters, which allows you to fill a good damage even dozens. One-time dam is equal to 490 units - Silver Jagdtiger (H) will bring a lot. Here you can add excellent rate of fire, which in the aggregate provides DPM in 2,358 units of damage per minute.

In addition, Jagdtiger (H) has a characteristic high German accuracy and a good time information. Only stabilization causes complaints, but this is a familiar disease for this class of technology. UGN allows you to cope with a gun on 20 degrees: 10 in each direction. This significantly reduces the shelling sector, because he moves on this Fri while in ambush directly contraindicated. But the car has the decline of the gun at 7.5 degrees, which makes it possible to hide the vulnerable corps for the folds of the relief, while stably apply damage to the enemy.

Booking Jagdtiger (H)

In terms of booking, there are practically no complaints about the new PT: 259 millimeters in the front projection of logging make the car invulnerable to classmates and some nine. However, for GOLDY ammunition and steel monsters of the tenth level, armor will be vulnerable. Here you will have to hope only on the mask of the gun, which can withstand crushing strikes.

Full reservation values \u200b\u200bare shown in the image below:

The NLD of PT-SCI remains vulnerable: 187 millimeters of armored vehicles do not look a serious obstacle even for a seven. In this case, the thickness of the above armor the top front part is 233 mm, which looks more impressive. However, there is a well-visible machine-gun nest here, which will be made through everyone without much difficulty. Therefore, the case is better to hide entirely, leaving the enemy only a strong cutting. The board is protected expected weakly, so it is important to follow the mini-card and not to get around.

Equipment and skills of the crew Jagdtiger (H)

The choice of equipment for Jagdtiger (H) will help partially level the serious disadvantages of this machine. We advise such a choice:

Our selection is also based on improving the main characteristics of the machine. When choosing combat consumables, we do not offer a special choice, so fill the slots with the usual gentleman's set.

Combat tactics on Jagdtiger (H)

How to play Jagdtiger (H)? In general, the combat behavior of this car does not differ from the tactics of the game on other PT: we occupy a secluded position and distribute damage to unwarly opponents. However, for this technique there are a number of nuances that need to be considered to survive on the random fields. In particular, Jagdtiger (H) is a car dependent on the circumstances. This suggests that it is necessary to act depending on the level of battle and game location.

So, go to specific. Finding into the top of the list, you can not be afraid of anyone and nothing, with the exception of artillery. In such battles it is better to choose offensive tactics. Choose your favorite direction, occupy a position on the first line and begin to distribute damage. If you hide the NLD and will highly fall out of the art, which improved the aiming mode, it is possible to restrain the direction until the end of the battle even in proud loneliness. You will not be able to punch into the forehead, so you can even use the support team to methodically urge the direction. Such tactics can be perfectly used on urban locations: the streets of the streets will not give enemies to bypass you from the flanks or twist.
Considering the list below, we behave hiding the water below the grass. Impressive a powerful dozen front armor will not work: penetrated PT-WHEK will be pretty confident. Therefore, we occupy a position for 2-3 lines and proceed to the fulfillment of direct duties - the fire support for the team. Jagdtiger (H) has a very accurate gun, so the shootings on distant distances are not frightened.
If we talk about behavior on open maps, care here should be taken regardless of the level of battle. Here you need to stay at a considerable distance from the enemy, fulfilling a good potential of weapons. At the same time, you should not forget that the disguise coefficient in Jagdtiger (H) is critical, so we can be launched almost after each shot. Therefore, it is necessary to approach the choice of position, immediately planning ways of possible retreat. It should be noted that trying to heroge out alone in open locality is not recommended. Crashing LTs can easily be tightened by ridicule self-propelled, even good frontal armor and formidable weapons will help.
Given these features, you need to constantly monitor the mini-card in order to have time to react to a change in the situation. It is best to act in a team that the partner can cover the flanks and rear.
In general, Jagdtiger (H) promises to be very promising technique, however, the release of the car has not yet taken place, so developers can change some specifications.

Feedback on PT-SAU 8 Jagdtiger (H)

PT-SAU of the 8th Jagdtiger (H) level in WOT is a machine with good potential. However, in order to implement the possibilities of technology with the maximum efficiency, you need to skillfully hide disadvantages and enjoy the benefits.

Advantages:

• Impressive margin of safety.
• Excellent frontal booking.
• Not bad alpha.
• Not bad dpm.
• High characteristics of weapons.

Disadvantages:

• Cardboard boards and frontal corps projection.
• Huge (without exaggeration) silhouette.
• Pretty sluggish dynamics.
• Weak UGN.

In addition, the German beauty does not have preferential level battle. However, this deficiency can be called controversial: in high-level battles there is an increased profitability ratio. Given that Jagdtiger (H) can punch a dozen even without gold, this drawback can turn into a serious financial advantage.
An interesting car in terms of booking and excellent weapons on board with a 128 mm gun. As always, the instruments of the guns have a high speed value and accuracy, as well as the minimum variation value among 8 levels of World of Tanks. For which they will have to pay the dynamics of Jagdtiger (H).

Panzerjäger Tiger (SD.KFZ.186);
Jagdpanzer VI Ausf.b Jagdtiger.

Tank fighter "Yagdtigr" was created on the basis of heavy tank T-VI in "Royal Tiger". Its housing is made with about the same configuration as the fighter tank "Jagdepanta". This tank fighter was armed with a 128-mm semi-automatic anti-aircraft gun without a muzzle brake. The initial speed of its armor-piercing projectile was 920 m / s. Although the gun was designed to use splitting shots, it was pretty high: 3-5 shots per minute. In addition to guns, the tank fighter had a 7.92-mm machine gun installed in the ball support in the windshield sheet of the case.

The fighter of Tanks "Yagdtigr" had an exceptionally strong booking: the forehead of the housing - 150-mm, the forehead rings - 250-mm, the side walls of the housing and cutting - 80 mm. As a result, the weight of the car reached 70 tons and it became the most severe serial combat vehicle of the Second World War. So big weight Negatively affected its mobility, the heavy loads on the running part caused her breakdowns.

Jagdtigr. History of creation

Experimental design work on the design of heavy self-propelled systems was carried out in Reich since the beginning of the 40s and even crowned with local success - two 128-mm SAU VK 3001 (H) in the summer of 1942 were sent to the Soviet-German front, where along with the other technique 521 "Tan-fighter division was thrown by Wehrmacht after the defeat of the German troops in early 1943 near Stalingrad.

But even after the death of the 6th Army of Paulus, no one thought to launch such a SAU into a series - the public sentiment of the ruling circles, the army, and the population was determined by the idea that the war would soon end the victorious end. Only after defeats in North Africa and on the Kursk arc, landing allies in Italy, many Germans, blinded by a rather effective Nazi propaganda, realized the reality - the cumulative forces of the countries of the anti-Hitler coalition much more powerful opportunities in Germany and Japan, so only the "miracle" can save the digestive German state.

Immediately, among the population, conversations about "wonder-weapons" began, which can change the course of war - such rumors were quite legally broken up by the Nazi leadership, which promised the people a quick change of the situation at the front. Since effective globally ( nuclear weapons or its equivalent) military developments in the final stage of readiness in Germany did not exist, the leaders of Reich "have grabs" for any significant military-technical projects capable of their unusual and originality, along with defensive, and psychological functions, inspired by the population of thought about the power and State strength. able to initiate the creation of such complex techniques. It was in a similar situation that was designed, and then launched a heavy fighter of tanks - SAU "YARD-TIGR".

When developing heavy tank "Tiger II" Hensel, in collaboration with Kruppi, has begun to create a heavy assault tool at its base. Although the order for creating a new self-propelled gun He was issued by Hitler in the fall of 1942, the sketch design began only in 1943 goal. It was assumed to create an armored self-propelled art system, armed with a 128-mm long-baulous instrument, which, if necessary, could be equipped with a more mospering cannon (it was planned to install a 150-mm warmness with a barrel length of 28 calibers).

The experience of creating and applying a heavy assault gun "Ferdinand" was carefully studied. So, as one of the variants of the new car, the project re-equipment of the "Elefanta" 128-mm gun of Cancer 44 L / 55 was considered, but the point of view of armament management was defeated, which as a caterpillar base of SAU offered to use the running part of the Tiger II-projected heavy tank .

The new SAU was classified as "12,8-cm heavy assault gun." It was planned to arm a 128-mm artsystem, an agricultural-fundal ammunition of which had a much larger fundamental effect than the anti-aircraft gun of the same caliber FLAK40. The wooden layout of the new self-propelled sample was demonstrated by Hitler on October 20, 1943 at the Aris Polygon in East Prussia. SAU produced the most favorable impression on the furera and followed the order to start her serial release next year.

April 7, 1944, the name was appropriated "Panzer-Jaeger Tiger" AUSF. IN and the index SD.KFZ.186.. Soon the name of the machine was simplified to Jagd-Tiger ("YARD-TIGR" - a hunting tiger). It is with this title that the machine described above entered the history of tank buildings. The initial order was 100 self-propelled plants.

Already by April 20, the first sample was made in the middle of the Fuhrer. The full combat mass of the machine reached 74 tons (with the running part of the Porsche design). Of all those participating in World War II serial sau, this was the hardest.

The development of the SD.KFZ.186 self-propelled gun was engaged in Krupp and Hensel, and the production was going to deploy at the Henchel factories, as well as at the Nibelungenterk enterprise, which was part of the Steir-Daimler AG concern. However, the cost of the reference sample turned out to be extremely large, therefore the main task that the Board of the Austrian Concern has set itself was to achieve the highest possible reduction in the cost of the serial sample and the timing of the manufacture of each tank fighter. Therefore, the refinement of SAU design department - Ferdinand Porsche ("Porsche AG").

Since the time-intensive part in the tank fighter was "chassis", Porsche offered to apply the suspension in the car, which had the same constructive principle as the suspension installed on "Elefant". However, due to the long-term conflict of the designer with the management of armaments, the consideration of the issue was delayed until the fall of 1944, until, finally, a positive conclusion was received. Therefore, SAU "YARD-TIGR" had two views of the differing side of the chassis - the design of Porsche and the design of the company "Hensel". Otherwise, the released machines were distinguished among themselves insignificant constructive changes.
