I voted the M36 because I expected no one to vote for it and it's my favourite TD in the game but,
How did the M36 get so many votes anyway? o_O



Less DPS Less Pen then SU85 JP4...because Turret? At the job of just killing tanks fast its not the best of dedicated AI less TDs...the Myth of the Jackson lives on!

I voted for the Command Panther with its +20(!) sight range and 10% speed accel/decel aura buff you can spot enemy tanks before they even know you are there.

I wonder how you're going to test rear armour on both Jagds, Elephant or ISU Kappa

Yeah but what about stuns and crits? You are going to crit the vehicle that doesnt shoot so the crit wont change effect of experiment (and after watching first videos I can see it should).

Have to put my vote for the Jackson: I use it so much I feel like I can put my hope in it at times.


And as Soviets I rather useing PTRS/ZIS than a TD. I don't know, I guess its just from having to do alot of somewhat low-cost bullcrap to kill one blitzing smokeing German Panzer.

Well, I guess the better reload speed of Tiger doesn't help that much

Err very few of these options are actual tank destroyers. The Elefant, Jagtiger, SU-85, Jackson, and Jagdpanzer IV are the only vehicles actually classified as tank destroyers.

Your logic is wrong, very wrong...
Tank Destroyer - it's role on the field, not design.
By design you can mean Tank, Assault gun, Self-Proppeled Gun or Armored Gun.
This shows us that tank destroyer can be tank as well as assault gun.

So do want to tell me that Tiger, legendary tank, unit which sowed terror in crews of the allied tanks is not tank destroyer?


Open your mind! Do not categorize so easy!

This is a fun thread. Will have to subscribe this :D . As OP said, maybe not the most scientific one but it's fun to watch these.

My vote: best TD IMO Jackson, best overall tank IS2 (/Tiger). Second opinion is a matter of personal choice. Just love that huge IS2.

No, indeed my logic is spot on. I'm afraid it is you who are mistaken. A tank destroyer is a tank specifically designed to specialize in destroying tanks. A Tiger, while exceptional at destroying tanks, was designed to have multiple roles as a heavy tank, i.e., it is not a tank destroyer. So yes, I am telling you that the Tiger is not a tank destroyer in that sense.

The StuG series, for example, is a series of assault guns. There were many variants of them. Some were infantry support guns, howitzers, etc. The ones outfitted with high velocity anti-tank guns are tank destroyers because they are specifically designed to destroy tanks, even though they are assault guns.

Also, when you say tank destroyers are designated as such by their role on the field and not their design, you don't seem to understand that tanks are designed to have a role. They don't just randomly slop tanks together and go "Well, let's just throw these on the battlefield and see what they excel at."

Why isn't the Puma on here? I lose more armor to Puma than anything else on this list.
