Jg.Pz. 38 (Wehrmacht)

Tank destroyer. Fixed gun, cheap yet effective with a formidable gun and decent armour, use to hunt enemy tanks at range, or ambush at close range.

Overview
Based on the Czechoslovakian pre-war Panzer 38(t), the 'Hetzer' united the dependable 7.5 cm Pak 39 with its low, sufficiently armoured profile. Safer than the open-topped 'Marder' series, it was adept at tackling all but the heaviest armour.

Armaments: 7.5 cm Pak 39 L/48, *Pintle MG 34, Armour: 95 mm (sloped), Role: Tank destroyer, Speed: 42 km/h.
