==Overview:==
     The Hetzer Wheeled Assault Gun was designed to provide cheap fire support
to troops assigned to planets important enough to protect but not important
enough to warrant a full garrison of troops. The Jadgtiger Tracked Assault Gun
was the attempt to increase the staying power of Hetzer while keeping the
killing power it already contained.  This was done with a simple increase of
mass, raising the cost of the vehicle bye almost 35%, nearly a 60% increase in
profits for a company known to cut corners.

==Capabilities:==
     The Jagdtiger is just as simple vehicle to manufacture as the Hetzer;
using the same basic truck chassis and smaller engine, Quikscell welds armor
plate into a box-shape, cuts out holes for hatches and weapons, and places
enough equipment inside to allow the vehicle to be marginally effective on the
battlefield (or at least not totally ineffective).  With a lighter engine and
tracked suspension, the Jagdtiger is slower then the Hetzer but capable of
going places its lighter brother cannot (The Jagdtiger does not require as
much assistance from infantry to clear paths as the Hetzer; the tracked
suspension allows it to just push its way through densely packed shrubbery). 


     While the Hetzer was known as the "rolling coffin" the Jagdtiger was
known as the "tracked armored hearse;"  with the reliable Crusher SH Cannon
AC/20 and proven two Voelkers 200 machineguns for anti-infantry defense (one
frontal, one rear) while supported with 9.5 tons of armor; many a foe where
carried to their death before they even relized the opponent they faced.
