Right there you have solved 80% of the problems for the panzer units.

I know Tiger II looks cool, the jagdtiger is an awsome thing, but they are not suitet for the late war battlefield.

From the beginning 44 the Germans had the technoligy to step way ahead of any allied country

ME-262 (fighter) (in numbers it would have been an factor)
AR-234 (bomber) (in numbers it would have been an factor)
Panther/jagdpanther (in numbers it would have been an factor)
Uboot type XXI electro boot (in numbers it would have been an factor)
MP-43 (in numbers it would have been an factor)

The panther 2 is just another wierd idea about evolving something that realy didnt need to be evolved. German idea about perfection ruined some of the projects that could have turned the war. Im glad they made all the mistakes, or i would speak German now, but i never could get why they stopped working on things that could have been effective, especialy the XXI electro boot.....The ME-262, almost haltet for 1 year because of someone wantet bombs on it. The AR-234 ended up being fast recon plane...

sorry if this came out as a rant realy wasent my intention.....just firmly belive that the Tiger II the jagdtiger was a huge waste of recources..

That wouldn't have really helped, they had already lost the war, when the allies had air supremacy they were done in for. Any tank, infantry, bunker system was now just a target waiting for a allied plane to put a bomb/rocket into it. In the end the only thing they had on their side was propaganda, and these weapons did if for them.
