    I was wondering, how does the jagtigers 128cm gun stand up in the game, and how does anything stand a chance against it?

    276mm of penetration means it's going through pretty much everything. And it's accurate at distance as anyone moving on the opposite ridge on El Halluf has found out.

    If anyone's curious, that's the Jagdtiger at Bovington. On the ground to the right is the only example of a Schmalturm. The one there was used for target practice and is in a bad way. I'll stick up some pics of my own later from this years Tankfest.

    The videos I have are pretty poor and very distant.

    If I'm hitting you from the side you won't stand a chance but at distance and with curved armor a lot of shots will bounce off (esp against other T9 TDs).

    The gun is great but camo is zero so once I fire, you can see me and fire back and if you're smart you'll aim for the big where the sign is as it's only 100mm thick. So I'll get 1 shot off, be spotted and arty tracks/kills me. On a map with no arty I'd be disappointed to get less than 4 kills.

    I have a book written by one of the German Tiger ace's and I'm just after realising it was one of these he was complaining about being givin near the end of the war. :) Nothing but complaints he had about it, though I understand why now a little better.
