Wouldn't you hate to have been the loader on that sucker. How much does a 128mm shell weigh anyway?

I,too,really like the Jagdpanther.In one game I had one take numerous hits from IS-1s and 2s,ISU-122s and assorted T-34s.I counted 8 turns before it was finally destroyed.One TOUGH machine.In fact I prefer using them to the Jagdtiger.

Well, a 128mm flak shell weighs about 26 kilos, so I'd guess that's pretty close. Of course you have to add the weight of a charge, as it was a 2 part round.

Hmm..and as the PaK shell would not have very much explosive in it like the flak shell, it would be heavier.... closer to 35 kilos perhaps. Ouch.

Guess that's why the ROF is a little on the slow side. The guy would have to have forearms like Popeye!! lol

And I just had my King Tiger immobilized by the first shot it took from a **** 57mm AT gun.

Aaah,

The pic brings back fond memories of trips to Aberdeen -- I could pitch a tent in that field and stay there for days, just going over the afv's.

The last time I was there it was about ten below with the wind chill, but the resulting sore throat was worth it.

I remember standing right next to that monster and being dawrfed by it -- very impressive.

Contact Sven, he can probably arrange it so that you can peek inside...

Friends,

No need to be jealous -- I am just lucky to be fairly close to MD. and have a sister who lives an hour away from the base. I first went there in '83 and took a few rolls worth of pic's of the tanks, guns, etc. but have lost the pictures over time

The museum is very convenient to DC, Baltimore and Philly, and it's really worth the trip. Dozens of afv's from many countires/eras, a German railway gun, all kinds of artilley pieces (including a massive dual 128 AA gun) and an excellent indoor musuem with small arms, mortars, panzerfausts, etc. And I believe, if memory serves me, it's free.

Happy hunting to all.
