I mean, when Tikilal states "When it did make it to combat it did okay.", I would like him to substantiante what he says with some data, as the impression I have is that a sizable portion of JTs ended up captured intact or blown up by their crews for breakdown or lack or fuel.

As a matter of comparison, the Soviets mounted a gun of the same nominal calibre (although not so good) on tanks and SPGs half that weight and they had much more distinguished careers.

A good article here: http://www.panzerworld.net/jagdtiger.php

All in all a major failure like the Elefant, and in puny numbers like that it only got it's relevance among modellers because it was another piece of all that German sexy kit.
