John that's an interesting pair to choose from. You have an actual tank destroyer ( jagdtiger 88 about twenty made) that was probably better than the larger gun version due to the deadly accurate 88 and the faster rate of fire.

On the other hand you have a very unique beast in the form of the drawing board tank hunter based on the panther II with the rear casemate like the Elefant. So cool. Yet this has the 128mm monster from the jagdtiger? I believe and if so it's like a role reversal too. Image

So much to enjoy maybe start to build both....

The jagdpanther 2 was proposed to have the 88L70 128 or a 105 depending on which drawings you go for and its the same for where the hull MG is as one model had it on the casement at the back another had it on the front

But my main reason is to ask if anyone eles had any ideas for tanks to do
