Hi Stormbringer
The nashorn is a "sniper tank" it was particularily suitable to the wide open spaces of Russia. It could stand in plane sight in an open space and pick off t34s at extreme range before they could get close enough to hit it. Hence its lack of heavy armour

"The most notable Nashorn ace was platoon commander of 1st company of sPzJagAbt 519, Junior Lieutenant (later Captain) Albert Ernst. On December 23rd of 1943, he destroyed some 14 Soviet tanks in a single day using only 21 rounds of ammunition."
see if you can do that in game!
