Roddoss, remember the stone-scissors-paper game. Your Nashorn is not an ideal weapon, it isn't even a tank.
It's not a tank, it's an anti-tank gun on tracks for mobility. It carries a big punch, but has an open top and paper thin armour. It's vulnerable to any mortar battery in range, not to mention HE artillery.
So the Allies can drop their expensive tanks behind and lead with infantry heavy weapons, and your übersexy Nashorns will have to defend themselves with their MG-42s
Won't do. A tank will have to have a more or less balanced mix of firepower-protection-mobility.
For curiosity's sake, some trivia: slightly less than 500 were made, in a total of 6 battallions.
