Jagdpanzer IV with long L/70 gun

The L/70 was indeed a good gun.
Yep. For the beginners, it is the same gun as used by the Panther tank. 2nd most powerful German anti tank gun that was fielded, after the legendary 8,8cm kwk43 L/71 from the King Tiger.
Now that i think of it, 3rd. The 12.8 cm PaK 44 L/55 was the most powerful as far as i remember. :P
Actually, the pak 44 might be LESS powerful than the kwk 43 L/71. There appears to be alot of debate about it, and i've since found varying sources on the penetration data of the pak 44.
lol why would anyone even dicuss which of them is better than the other, since they both could penetrate and single-shot kill EVERY armored vehicle at this time. the L/71 can penetrate 14mm MORE armor, but therefore the 128mm calibre would be better to fight heavy or BIG tanks as there would be more shrapnels that explode inside the tank, insuring more damage to the mechanics and devices.
True.
