Description
One of the most underrated tank destroyers of second world war. Its 90mm gun could destroy almost all German tanks frontally, except Tiger II (though it could penetrate turret front armor at close distance).
Although though the armor was only 60-20mm strong (hull base) but it relied on using shoot and run tactic.
Why was it underrated, if it performed that good?
Because you can perform well but won't matter if people don't notice.
I have no idea, perhaps the fact it seems to be vulnerable to much anything itself, and it's easy to underestimate a glass cannon.
maybe there just wasnt enough of them?
