Which tank is better Tiger or Panther?
The Panther was a compromise. While having essentially the same Maybach V12 petrol (690 hp) engine as the Tiger I, it had more effective frontal hull armour, better gun penetration, was lighter and faster, and could traverse rough terrain better than the Tiger I.
Can tanks shoot missiles?
A missile tank is an armoured fighting vehicle fulfilling the role of a main battle tank, but using only guided missiles for main armament. The term is sometimes applied more loosely to conventional tanks which are able to launch anti-tank guided missiles, to supplement their main gun for very long-range fire.
What rank is the Jagdpanzer VI Jagdtiger?
The Jagdpanzer VI Jagdtiger is a rank V German tank destroyer with a battle rating of 7.3 (AB) and 6.7 (RB/SB). It was introduced during the Closed Beta Test for Ground Forces before Update 1.41.
Why was the 17 pounder gun rejected for the Sherman tank?
The idea of fitting a 17-pounder gun into a Sherman tank had initially been rejected by the Ministry of Supply’s Tank Decision Board. Although the British Army had made extensive use of the American-built Sherman tank, it was intended that a new generation of British tanks would replace it in the anti-tank role.
What kind of ammo does the Jagdtiger use?
The Jagdtiger uses two-piece ammunition, composed of propellant bags (orange) and projectiles (yellow). Both have separate racks. Inherent as any other tank destroyer: limit the avenues of approach for your enemies with either obstacles or distance and try to pick off targets one-on-one and not several at the same time.
Why is the Jagdtiger so dangerous?
When hull down, the Jagdtiger is a true terror on the battlefield. Especially when there are few post-war tanks in the game. Big target with a lot of ammunition in its hull. Shells that penetrate through the side can prove fatal. Despite having a better engine than the Tiger II (H), the Jagdtiger weighs 7 more tons.
