Jagdpanther seems to have gained some traction recently. History Hit had a video on it just 3 days ago with a lot of driving and inside footage :)

Credit to the men who fought against and in these machines, i cannot imagine

Hey guys thank you for restoring all these beautiful tanks and giving a future generation chances to learn about the worlds history and how much armour has improved since ww2 keep up the good work

The series you guys did about restoration of this Jagdpanther was one of the best👍

I seriously love all the details of this tank and the general design. It's iconic.

Thanks Jason, you are like a walking AFV encyclopedia. Brilliant video, Cheers

You sir are a fountain of information on these vehicles, no fluff, no BS, just damn good knowledge, many thanks !!!

Wunderbar ! 😍🤩

Spectacular as always guys!

Очень люблю смотреть ваш канал,всё снято на высоком уровне.

Love this walk around in addition to the series showing it’s rebirth. Would love to see a walk around centered on the jagdpanzer in the future…..it’s an unusual vehicle and I would love to hear more about it. Cheers from America!!

Outstanding video and presentation. We love these walk around tours of these beautiful tanks. Thank you!

Great tour, thanks. All the exhibits look absolutely first class.

A beautiful restoration, thanks for all your hard work!

Excellent video, the video series on the restoration is also really good! Keep up the great work.

With respect to what you people have done, I have watched the series several times.

There was a terrific video on ‘History Hit’ KZread channel, this week, with a running Jagdpanther. Love your work 👍

That was a great presentation Jason. I really liked the comparisons with sister vehicles. Loved the information stats. From 970 RDS to 6000 plus RDS with a sleeve. Awesome development. Thanks Jason always enjoy your great skills as a presenter.

Très belle présentation de cet excellent blindé , c'est toujours un plaisir de suivre vos restaurations.

That's cruel, two ducks in fan ducting ! Lol 😆 I'd like to respectfully honour all the tank crews ghat still alive and the fallen. We will remember you.

Very informative and entertaining. Thanks .

Good video. Thank you. Impressive spark arresters.

Great video...good work!

Awesome vehicle. I love videos on some of these less common vehicles.

Really interesting, this guy is extremely knowledgeable

Another great video!

Great video

I am amazed this tank even exist!.. thanks mate from across the ditch 👍🇳🇿

This beast is huge , I love it.

Absolutely awesome....and....Incredible work.... Would love to spend a weekend there...but you guys are 15,187 km= 9,437 miles away....that's a problem....Peace!

That was great, so much detail, I could have done with a diagram. 👍🏻

What a beautiful machine.

Still amazing

Awesome looking machine

A great interesting video.Have a good one,

That Beast is a Beauty!

The Jagdpanther is easily one of the most gorgeous AFVs of WW2. Perfect lines. We're very fortunate that the Germans got so carried away with designs, and that they couldn't effectively fuel/supply/fix/employ/man them.

I agree... It is a 'beautiful' machine, in spite of its purpose being destruction. I can just look at the thing endlessly almost like its a ridiculously hot 'centerfold'. :) And your comment about their priorities I think is extremely valid too. The Nazi regime was awful, but your typical German who manned these vehicles (and others) likely just believed he was protecting his country. We can see in today's world even now how easy it is to fool your average citizen with the rise of maga, anti vax, and brexit etc.

Have you ever thought about doing Q&A’s on some of the museums socials or KZread?

Jagdpanther is like a rare butterfly

Beautifull

Well done mate, great information and the restoration is beautiful. Love watching this channel.

That is the pitbull of tanks right there!

Despite their technical shortcomings, the Panther and Jagdpanther are still my favourite and best looking AFVs. 😁

Another great video. I've read a lot about the Panther, but never really understood about that crew heating system. Thanks

Great restoration and presentation! It is a bit strange, when Jason speaks in first person about changes in design " Then we changed ... and we went to ..." as if he was part of the original construction team.

any updates on the tiger 1

As to the effect of sloping armor plates versus the typical blunt-point steel AP shot/shell (bare-nosed or just with windscreen), up to about 45-50 degrees from right-angles, the slope has LESS effect than merely not sloping the plate and making it thicker at the same weight. This is due to the spinning shell having its "chin" (part of nose toward the armor) hit the -plate slightly before its "forehead" (farthest nose point away from the armor) and this twists the direction of the shell into the plate (refraction like light through a prism, in effect) so distance through plate is less than straight through from trajectory just before the hit. When the angle goes above the 45-60-degree point of no refraction, the higher the angle gets, the better the -plate is at skipping the shell off it like a flat rock on water and sloping really helps the protection (at 60 degrees you get an additional 25% added plate thickness or so to that physical addition measured straight along trajectory just before the impact (depends on nose shape and hardness of armor). Above 80 degrees, only very thin armor would be penetrated by any blunt-point shell. If there is a hardened AP cap with a moderately sharp corner at the face edge where the windscreen is attached (crimped or screwed on), the corner can dig into a plate if it is thick enough to not dent much (about half-caliber thickness or more for the average typical AP cap face edge), the corner will cut into the face at 50 degrees impact angle or more and thus partially prevent the skipping effect, and so reduce the velocity to penetrate by an additional 12% or so, which can be significant. AP caps that are soft (most WWI-era-type caps), or with rounded face edges, or with a wide edge angle over 135 degrees -- for example, see British Hadfield WWII naval APC shells -- do not get this 12% reduced velocity to penetrate bonus.

The Jagdpanther shares the same 88mm kanone as the Tiger 2. It could accurately engage and destroy enemy tanks at over 2kms in the right conditions.

Didn't know about that smoke/grenade launcher ... very innovative. Why would a recoilless weapon cause the tank to back up like that?

'Recoilless' is kind of a poor name for them.. many do have a pretty violent recoil. Probably easier to google how they work, but generally they use just enough gas venting/ countercharge to make the weapon safe enough to shoot without wasting too much weight / power.

that's fucking massive

does it have a working engine in it?

Another great video with interesting new to me tidbits of knowledge. I'm somewhat frustrated that I have to stumble on these videos by chance. I somehow became "unsubscribed", not that youtube notified me before anyway. This time, even though I follow, it just showed up on fakebook after another video I watched. It just seems they hate military and history.

​​@@dmtaboo_truth7052amazing to still commonly hear wehrb myths in 2023. Most allies countries had already built prototypes just as capable or even more so than the german heavies, but switching production simply wasn't needed whilst the nazis had to throw everything at the wall. Centurion, T29/ T34, IS-3, T-44 etc all were superior to most of nazi germanies tanks and not nearly as complicated and overengineerd. The best german tanks ironically were the panzer 3 and stugs simply due to having radios, good speed and a solid doctrine behind them. Those were vehicles that actually were winning unlike the fat cats only built to prolong the inevitable.

@@scatterlite2266 It's a pretty objective fact the Germans were ahead of everyone else, unless you're unable to see past your pro-Allied bias, or still believe Allied propaganda. Early Allied tanks were clunky and goofy until they copied/reverse-engineered panzer tech. It was the Germans who invented jet engines, rockets and the first automatic assault rifle. Operation Paperclip happened for a reason.

What's inside this one? TFP

I dont see how the 128mm would have been a "game changer." The 88mm Kwk43 was already able to destroy any allied tank at basically any range, and was quicker to load with more ammo capacity than the 128mm. The issue with late war German vehicles was their mechanical unreliability, lack of fuel and parts, and overwhelming Allied numbers and air support. Fitting a bigger gun to the Jagdpanther pretty much just would have made a worse, less effective vehicle.

It maybe the video but the camouflage colours are wrong

Interesting comment about barrel life with a liner giving over 6,000 rounds life because in the Ukraine conflict the 155 mm howitzers have to change their barrels quite often. Replacement has become a problem there because of the amount of use they are getting.

@903lew

Жыл бұрын

Modern 155s a have quite more oumpf than 40s 88s. Also, I think the higher figure is for the gun itself, liners would have been swapped many times before then.

Recoiless systems are extremely dangerous. To think they were going to install them with a breach inside the tank is kind of crazy. I'd rather have a reciprocating cannon in a tank compartment, than a solid breach that could blow apart if the gas pressure got too high from barrel fouling. Standard reciprocating cannons take a lot of the energy out of the weapon by turning it into mechanical advantage to cycle the breach and shell extraction.

How did a Australian collector get these tanks , I thought there would be tough bidding to get these relics

Some of your "facts" are incorrect, especially regarding the crew heater. The fan did not pull air "in", It's sole purpose was to expell hot air thus lowering the engine temperature, as the air was pulled in through the rectangular armor "grills" on the front and back of it through the radiators. Instead of expelling the hot air into the open, as you stated the "pie" wedges were placed in the installed "ring" around the top and the hot air heated the crew compartment. Your G 2 seams to be missing the "restrickters" on the port rectangular intakes which functioned to cause the engine temperature to run even "hotter" so more heat was pumped into the crew compartment as the whole system was designed to deal with the bitter cold of the russian winters.

Krupp=> "kroop"

JASON, with respect, all AFV's have hulls, never a chassis. Look up the definition of chassis in any English language dictionary 🙂

All that effort to get extra life out of guns that typically never got close to wearing out on actual service vehicles before the vehicle its self was lost. German industrial policy in a nutshell....

Send it to Ukraine.
