The 8,8 cm PaK 43 Jagdtiger is a Tier VIII German Premium Tank Destroyer.
Based on the Jagdtiger, it remains a ferocious opponent even more being ranked as a Tier VIII vehicle. It mounts the same 250 mm of frontal armor along with 80 mm of side armor but still has a vulnerable lower glacis plate. However, if you hide the lower glacis plate, it will prove almost impenetrable to any gun of the same tier.
It mounts the famous 8.8 cm PaK 43 gun, though not dealing much damage (240 damage), it is fast firing with a quick reload time (5.5 seconds) and penetrates a substantial amount of armor (212 mm), posing a output dpm of 2822, a stunning amount balanced by a powerful tank.
t is slow like the Jagdtiger (only 10.5 hp per ton) and should travel with a couple, more quick allies to ensure it isn't alone when flanked and ensure its survivability, with a good amount of hitpoints, since it is a German vehicle. It isn't for the front lines due to slow speed and no turret, but has a large profile and can't hide in some bushes like the Spähpanzer Ru 251, though it has good accuracy compared to the Ru 251. It should stay in the middle of the pack and uses its armor to its advantage, hiding the lower glacis plate behind cover as with many German vehicles, the transmission located in the front can cause a fire.
