+ | The Jagdpanther II was conceived in November of 1944 by Krupp to up-arm the Jagdpanther with an 12.8 cm PaK 80. Since it was impossible to mount the 12.8 on the Jagdpanther in its current layout, Krupp redesigned the Jagdpanther with a new crew compartment which was to be very cramped. It was to weigh 51 tons and was to have a long reload. It was cancelled because the Jagdpanther and the 8.8 L/71 was more than adequate. | |||

+ | It is a myth that the Panther II chassis was to be used for the 12.8 armed Jagdpanther(Panther II was cancelled months before the 12.8 Jagdpanther), as well the designation "Jagdpanther II" was never used for this vehicle. Instead it should be called the Jagdpanther mit 12.8 cm PaK 80. | |||

The Jagdpanther II is a German tier 8 tank destroyer.
Developed on the basis of the Panther II. The vehicle was to be equipped with a 128 mm gun and the fighting compartment to be located in the rear. Existed only in blueprints.
The Jagdpanther II, along with its cousin, the Ferdinand, are Germany's two tier 8 tank destroyers. Possessing the same guns, they are both extremely powerful and pack a huge punch. Though it has less armor than the Ferdinand, what it does have is sloped like the Panther and as such will bounce a few shots. It is also much faster than the Ferdinand, due to its lighter weight. Keep in mind though, the armor is still quite thin, and to best utilize your tank you should employ ambush or sniping tactics, using the element of surprise as your weapon. The JagdPanther II will be able to inflict substantial damage and dart away before the enemy gets a clear shot. With proper use, the Jagdpanther II can become a fearsome opponent, even more so than the Ferdinand.
The Jagdpanther II marks the end of its German tank destroyer line.
