Jagdpanzer IV (Sdkfz 162)
« on: August 06, 2011, 11:10:20 AM »
I liked the idea of the M3 with 75mm, although its Optics were terrible and you need to get pretty close to a tank to get a kill, so I figured i'd throw a turretless tank destroyer out and see what people would think (of course after Bar gets his darn M18)  :neener:

Also noted, this tank has 2 main guns, I assume could be changed out in the Hanger, obviously the 7.5cm L70 would be perked slightly due to having
the same gun as the Panther. The superstructure had 80 mm thick sloped armour, which gives a much greater armor protection than a vertical armor of 100 mm. Which would make this tank pretty impressive over all.

Here's some specifications on the Jagdpanzer IV:
Combat weight, 24,000kg
Length: 6,860mm
Width: 3,170mm
Max speed: 9mph Cross country, 24mph Road
Armament: Mid War:7.5cm PaK 39/L48, Late War: 7.5cm L70 KwK 42
Main gun Ammunition: 79 rounds
Muzzle Velocity: 1,250 ft/s
Secondary armament: 7.92mm MG42, 1,200 rounds

Su-100 first.  They Su-100 was far more prominent and the Germans already have enough tank muscle for awhile.   ;)

Really?  That is very slow.  It can't have had much penetration if that is accurate.

He probably meant m/s, since it is a german tank.

I did convert it in my mind, but then it seems much higher than anything else I have read of.  Over 4,000fps.
