The book spine is warping this part of the picture. Same glacis.

Is it just me? Or does the Porsche’s glacis look to be at a much reduced angle? The slope on that glacis looks terrible..

If you read the biography of Unit 653 which used the JT, as long as the crew put the gun in its cradle before moving it kept is calibration for a while on operations, but would need to be recalibrated often regardless. Even when using the cradle on road marches the gun would need recalibration before it could be used effectively.

The impression I got from this book was the JT was just a massive pain in the ass, more so than the Ferdinand which itself was a huge pain for crews and maintenance sections.

Wait, the Porsche Jadgtiger was… less expensive, and more practical than the non-Porsche design? What madness is this?

1st: it’s 8,8 cm L/56
2nd: Jagdpanthers were armed with 8,8 cm L/71

Just saying.

Didn’t it also result in the gun going out of calibration if they drove over something as bumpy as a pile of wet leaves?
