To accommodate the gun the sides of the Panther tank were extended up to provide a roomy interior, while maintaining a very low profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt was armed with the same long-barrelled 88 mm gun as the Tiger II, and a 7.92 mm machine gun in the hull (front glacis plate). Despite the limitations of vehicles without turrets (limited gun movement left\/right) the Jagdpanther was considered a very good machine. A powerful engine gave it a good power to weight ratio. This meant that jagdpanther had a good performance in the battlefield. Camouflage was easy due to its low profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll this made the jagdpanther widely and rightly feared, it especially excelled in defensive positions. Based on the existing Panther chassis, it did not suffer too many mechanical problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAround 400 were produced in 1944 and 1945.
