  1. The rear armor is slightly thicker than the sides by 0.01 inch.

  2. The gun mantlet is relatively thinner than the superstructure frontal armor.

  3. About 14 Jagdtigers were equipped with 8.8 cm Pak 43 Anti-Tank gun.

  4. The original Jagdtiger's weight is 71 tonnes, lighter than it's 8.8 cm counterpart, which is 80 tonnes.

  5. Porsche's eight-suspension system works better than Henschel's nine-suspension system.

I'll be searching for other tanks. (You can request too.)

    The Jagdtiger were new in 1943-1944, so not a surprise not many Germans know about the new tank. (Same incident to the early panzer tanks) @MrVaultech . And let me correct, it is "Jagd", not jag or jadg.

    Fun fact (2 of 2) about the Jagtiger; One of the Jagtigers under Otto Carius' command was knocked out by friendly Volkssturm with a panzerfaust. Their excuse for the incident was they'd never seen a Jagtiger before

    Fun fact (1 of 2) about the Jadgtiger; Otto Carius, while speaking of the issues about the 10 Jagtigers he commanded, stated that the 12,8 cm gun of a Jagtig went through a house, and into an Allied tank during one particular battle.
