The middle phase of World War II saw the start of production of the heaviest and most powerful AFV of the time - the Jagdtiger. The Jagdtiger was equipped with a long-barreled 12.8 cm cannon, which displayed great offensive capabilities. Based on the King Tiger chassis, the newly designed Jagdtiger was about 30 cm longer. Along with the new design, the larger fixed fighting compartment received a 250mm front defensive armament, which was unique to this vehicle. It first appeared during the Ardennes offensive in December 1944, and from January 1945 the Jagdtiger fought mainly against Allied forces in West Germany. Until the end of the war, the Jagdtiger continued to threaten Allied forces and ambush them from a distance of 3,000 meters or more.
