<strong>The</strong> JagdPanther was a large and extremely potent tank hunter, based on earlier designs which used PzKpw III<br />
and IV series chassis, but using the heavier Panther chassis and mounting an 88mm L/71 gun (similar to that<br />
used in the King Tiger heavy tank). <strong>The</strong> armor was reasonably thick, and steeply sloped, and an advanced<br />
Nahverteidigungswaffe close-defense weapon was built-in. 392 JagdPanther were produced between early 1944<br />
and the end of the war.<br />
