Jaguar Jagdpanzer
In Team Yankee
IRL
As you can imagine, after there experience in world war 2 with successful vehicles such as the Stug, Hetzer and Jagdpanzer, German designers did not completely reject the turret less tank destroyer the way most other nations did after the war. This is why in the cold war the West Germans developed the (not in team Yankee yet) "Kanonenjagdpanzer" armed with a Patton's 90mm cannon. However when the Soviets started to deploy T-64's and T-72's, the 90mm proved too light to be useful, which may go some way to explain why the Kanonenis AWOL in team yankee at this moment. To compensate for this weakness A few of Kanonen's were converted into Jaguar tank destroyer, or to use it's mouthful of a full name Raketenjagdpanzer 4 Jaguar.
The difference between Jaguar 1 and 2 is that the Jaguar 1 is, annoying, the more advanced of the two with a better missile system and a bit more armor on the top.
