Hello everybody !

So, i went to London for a long weekend, and went to the RAF museum, Hannats and the Imperial War Museum. The last one had a Jagdpanther (look photos below) with some proof which i did for DAVECOX


Quoted Text

When visiting the IWM, that Jagdpanther has some holes in it - proof that the 6pdr was effective despite what some have said.





In a short week i will report with a full photo session and a lot of extra's (400 photo's)
Greetz,

Tijmen (Taibo) 4real

tijmen,
That is not a Jagdtiger, it is a Jagdpanther, the difference in armor thickness between the two is pretty significant. It is well known that the Panther/Jagdpanther's side armor was a main weak point.

OK had a little extra time and reread and saw you did have Jagdpanther in the body of the post. My bad there.

Okay...And cue awkward moment.

Who feels stupid now?

Just kidding, I would screw up the same thing too. Still is kind of funny though.
