Description
Jagdpanzer IV(also known by some German troops as "Guderian's duck")Jadpanzer IV had it hard growing up. His father Panzer IV was always hard on him for no reason. "You're a mess!" The father scolded. "Why can't you be more like your brother Stug IV, or your cousin Stug III?" (The Hetzer is not a blood relative, his mother LT VZ 38 married in from Czechoslovakia).
Jokes aside, The Jagdpanzer IV had the low profile advantage of the Stug YET he was better armored and armed with a Pak 42 L/70, the same gun found on the Panther...but because of the typical logistics issues Germany had at the time many were actually armed with the 7.5 cm Pak 39 L/48(Let me note here, with its frontal armor (3 inches) and the Pak39/42, the things were awfully front-heavy).
The design was MILDLY successful I'll say. When it was used for its intended role it performed well. In 1945 when it had to completely substitute for other tanks it fell short. All in all I do love this thing, what are your thoughts on it? No comic this time around, all the SS camo burned me out.

At least it's not the Jagdpanzer IV L/70 (A). The Flatpanzer's tall estranged brother

But it also not the Jagdpanzer IV L/70 (V) Version cause it didn’t have a musslebreak on it’s gun

True. But the L/70 is basically an upgrade for the Jagdpanzer IV

I know but most of them were upgraded with this gun which where also used by The Panzerkampfwagen V Panther (I’m a German sorry for the Words) only that the Panther had a small Musslebreak

Well I'm not sure it's the same gun.
I mean the Panzer 4's 75mm L/48 was a KwK gun.
StuG III/IV carried the same 75mm L/48. Only it was a StuK and not KwK.

It has to do something with the German Language it’s the same gun only that KwK stands for Kampfwagenkanone (Tank Gun) and StuK for Sturmgeschützkanone (SPG Gun) so it’s because the different Tank type it’s mounted on

Yeah. Despite having extremely long winded names for things. The Germans are pretty simple with designations.

Look at the Sturmpanzer 6 Sturmtiger
It were armed with a huge gun and a thick Armor but it was as slow as a snail and needed a crane to load the ammunition and was pretty big. It was just a gun mounted on a box.

It was a really good tank destroyer yes, and, as far as I know, not as much of a cramped death-trap as the StuG III.

One of many of the reasons the Germans lost the War, along with Hitler taking a nap on June 6.

Nice tank destroyer. Now what book is that soldier reading.

First class tank destroyer.
It was excellent at ambush.
Low profile made it hard to see and small to hit in return.
However it needed infantry support since it had no turret......its flanks were vulnerable.
Ground troops could swarm the tank sticking weapons in openings. Remember tanks in WW2 used openings to view out. Periscopes and armored glass were later developments. Most tanks used open ports with a metal cover one could close........but closed you could not see to drive or the commander to spot targets. The gunner had a sight but very limited field of view......it was for aiming not scanning.
You could have a really bad day if some chap stuck his Tommy gun in the viewport and emptied the magazine inside.
45cal slugs be bouncing all over.
This little Jag got her boys to cover her......but they be gone once those P47s, Typhoons, or IL2s rolling.
