Talk:Jagdpanther

message: The 654th heavy panzerjager battalion had about twelve early jagdpanthers in Normandy. On July 30th they were engaged by the British 6th Tank Brigade.  I will modify the edit to reflect this. Source is Yves Buffetaut, Normandie 1944: Le Choc Des Blindes.   DMorpheus 21:48, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

"Where to see" should not be in an encyclopedia.  Is an encyclopedia a guide book?  No.

message: I have removed uncited (and tagged) statements about the Jagdpanther's supposed low sillhouette. The Jagdpanther was only about four inches lower than a Jagdtiger and a few inches lower than a Sherman; Shermans are widely considered to have a high profile.

message: The authour is very incomprehensive and also misinfomed regarding the versions and development of the Jagdpanther. The first version had a welded gun mantlet (not internally bolted - this was never the case), a monoblock gun, two vision ports for the driver, openings for MPs on right an left side of the fighting compartment. Later version quickly lost the MP openings, and got a covered left-side opening for the driver (leaving only the right opening). Later the gun got a two-piece barrel and the mantlet became bolted with 8 bolts, the left driver vision opening disappeared completely and the spanner wheel got a new design. Also changes on engine cover, roof and fighting compartment ventilation appeared. However, these changes appeared gradually and with mixed timing, so a late gun could be mounted in an early mantlet, late engine exhausts mixed with early vision ports and so on. See the picture on main page, monobloc gun with single vision port for driver. The tank in Thun, Switzerland, is however manipulated (as also the Tiger II next to it) and can not be regarded as a true version of the war-time Jagdpanther.

With the Variants it would be better to do a paragraph on each than lump them into one becuase that means that it is less confusing for the reader
Change this...
*Two main variants can be distinguished, the earlier (1944 model) G1 with a small internally bolted main gun mantlet and a modified Panther A engine deck, and the later (1945 model) G2 with a larger, outside-bolted mantlet and a modified Panther G engine deck, though late G1s also had the larger mantlet. Early Jagdpanthers had two vision openings for the driver, whereas late versions had only one. The main gun originally had a monobloc gun barrel but later versions were equipped with the Pak 43/4 gun with a two-part barrel. Early G1s (to September 1944) were given Zimmerit anti-magnetic mine coating in a distinctive "small-squared" pattern.
To this...
*The two main variants can be distinuished, the earlier G1 1944 model has a small welded main gun mantlet, one piece Pak 43/3 gun, a modified Panther A engine deck and had two vision openings for the driver. The G2 JagdPanther used a Panther Ausf. G engine deck, a larger gun mantlet bolted externally (to cut down on production time?) and a two piece Pak 43/4 L/71 gun. Some later G1 models may have possessed G2 features such as the larger G2 mantlet because changes to the design were implemented gradually and lack of spares turned many Jagdpanthers into 'hybrids'. Zimmerit was applied to G1's up to September 1944, when it was withdrawn for fear of fire risk and to speed up production time.

message: Someone is reverting my edits.  It is unconstructive, and should stop.  Do not do an edit war.  No one owns the page.  It is not proper to refer to my country as nazi all of the time - anymore than it is to refer to America in 2019 as "Republican America."  ~~blaugraf  — Preceding unsigned comment added by BlauGraf (talk • contribs) 13:09, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
