What if in a flash inspiration Ferdinand Porche in early 1939 promised to give Hitler a 'tank to end all tanks' in after two years the Jaguar heavy tank is created with sloped front armor some 100mm thick, using an enlarged (and widened) Panzer IV suspension system. The real punch of the Jaguar in the massive 105mm which is essentially 10.5cm flak 38 with a few modifications.
Hitler is impressed and orders it into production. The first batch some four vehicles due to a bureau error get sent to north Africa just in time to take part in the second battle of Tobruk.
How do the allies react to Germany's new heavy tank packing an anti aircraft gun? Would the British copy the idea? How would the M3 Lee and Sherman fair?
