Flames of War: German Mid War Hornisse Tank-Hunter Platoon (x2 Tanks)

The Hornisse, or “Hornet,” was a German tank destroyer built on a hybrid Panzer III/IV chassis and armed with the deadly 88mm Pak 43 gun—the same weapon later mounted on the fearsome Jagdpanther. Designed to destroy enemy armor at extreme range, the Hornisse first saw combat in 1943 on the Eastern Front, where its combination of powerful firepower and mobility made it a formidable opponent despite its open-topped vulnerability.
