How many links are on each side of a jagdpanzer iv?

Just enough to go all the way around?

Edit: See Stephens answer below. Same track, suspension and chassis as the Pz IV so the number of links is the same.

Why would it be any different from a standard gun tank? Same suspension.

99 links per side

Ditto!

Thanks, Joe. Just found that, this morning. I also read that some had 101? Was this just a factory rush order?

My knowledge is 98 links per side on the Panzer IV.

All Panzer IV's Ausf. A through J along with the Stug's and Jagd's had 99 links per side, according to the applicable Panzer Tracts edition (4, 8, 9-2).

The GW III/IV were stretched Panzer IV hulls, like the Nashorn and Hummel. They had 104 links per side according to Panzer Tracts 7-3.

That may be where the discrepancy lies.

Thank you for the informed answers.

To an extent, for modelling purposes the number is irrelevant as people see the sag rather than counting links. Since model links may not exactly match the pitch of the originals and there may be more play in the pins too, I’d suggest using the official number as a starting point and see what it’s like with say 90% of the nominal figure and adding additional links until you get the degree of sag that you want. Personally I build in runs of 10 and combine them before adding singles.
