  Achtung Panzer! - Jagdtiger
Jagdtiger resembled King Tiger with the difference of having a superstructure instead of the turret and had much higher profile what made it a large target for the enemy.
Jagdtigers were mounted with two different types of running gear, Henschel's gear (74 models) and Porsche's gear (11 models produced from February to September of 1944).
Jagdtiger's breakdown problem was never solved and many were abandoned or blown up by their crews to prevent them from being captured intact by the Allies.

 [No title]
Der "Jagdtiger" war mit 700 PS und 72t Gewicht wohl eher ein Schleichtiger, es kam zu vielen ausfällen weil der Motor immer auf Vollgas laufen musste um das Monstrum in Bewegung zu setzen.
Wenn der Jagdtiger aber seine Gegner in Reichweite (und die war Groß) hatte, gab es für jeden Gegner keine Chance mehr.
Viele Jagdtiger wurden allerdings, nach verbrauch von Treibstoff und Munition, von den Besatzungen gesprengt.

 Missing Links Articles Antonio Martin Tello Building a Porsche Jagdtiger
Most of Jagdtigers produced had the Henschel designed torsion bar suspension system of the Tiger II, but eleven Jagdtigers (usually early models) were completed with a different Porsche design suspension (as the one I have built), similar to the one developed for the Elefant tank destroyer.
This Jagdtiger, as most of the ones with Porsche suspension type, had Zimmerit, was painted in plain dark yellow (while its "brother" 305010 has a three tone camouflage) and had the chassis number painted on the glacis, under the headlight.
The main problem to adapt these tracks to a Porsche Jagdtiger is that for this particular vehicle the inner row of teeth on each track were cut off in order to avoid damage to the suspension, as it is correctly depicted in the normal transport tracks which are included with the kit.

 Panzer Front German Tank Profiles
The Jagdtiger was therefore unsuited to it’s original role as a mobile infantry support, tank destroyer and was better used as a camouflaged mobile strong point, where the great power of it’s main gun could be used effectively.
The Jagdtigers were not particularly popular with their crews due to their mobility and reliability problems, the only thing found satisfactory was the armour and the gun.

The Jagdtiger was first shown as a full scale iron model in October 1943 and a total of 150 vehicles was ordered, but due to shortages of components and disruption by bombing only 70 machines were built, 48 of them in 1944.

The feeling of confidence, superiority, and invincibility that the Jagdtigers gave its crews caused their morale to zoom even in the final days of the war.
In battling allied armor, the Jagdtiger was superior to anything sent against it.
Superbly effective against the allied streams of tanks, its heavy armor and armament was a relative immunity to allied armor that did great physical and morale damage to the enemy.

In Le Tissier's "With Our Backs to Berlin" on page 106 (and the footnote on pg.109), it is mentioned that 3 Jagdtigers from said unit supported the Heer 20th Panzergrenadier division near Küstrin in 1945.
Additionally, the footnote incorrectly states that the Jagdtiger was armed with an 8,8cm gun, so I am thinking this is a mistake.
The unit around these Jagdtigers were ordered to destroy the vehicles, because important components (optics, I believe) were missing.

The German Jagdtiger (SdKfz 186) "Hunting Tiger" was a tank destroyer made on the slightly extended chassis of the Tiger II "King Tiger".
However, the Jagdtiger had no turret, and the main gun had a limited traverse of only 10 degrees, meaning the entire vehicle had to turn to aim at enemy tanks.
Still, when properly supported, the Jagdtiger was an extremely formidable opponent.
