How dare you! All WW2 vehicles must be added!
Super Pershing can be tricky when playing BR4 - both Panther and Tiger1 need to aim for weakspots.
So I see a reason to play it in BR4.
Also funnily, KV1 is harder to kill with my Panzer IV J than all Soviet BR4 and BR5 tanks with the exception of late IS2 - but even that one can be penned at its turret cheeks and lower chassis. So an argument could be made that Nashorn would be a welcome addition to BR3 - but obviously KV1 and KV2 survivability ahould be fixed instead.
Doesn’t that count as a nerf? The current BR 4meta is already rough. Moving up to BR 4 basically means facing BR 5 vehicles, where we already have the Leopard and Ferdinand. Panthers and Tigers at BR 4 also have solid penetration. Vehicles like the Hellcat, which are in a similar tier, have been dropped to BR 3. So what reason is there to keep the Nashorn from moving up too?
In War Thunder, its cannon and optics give it a huge edge, especially now that maps have gotten much smaller. Even the Dicker Max outperforms it these days.
Hellcats 76mm is nowhere near as powerful as long 88.
call me insane, but if a tank can be penetrated frontally by an AT rifle or any heavy machine gun, it deserves to be BR2 at most

I aim for the weakspot on the Super Pers’s left side of the turret even with Tiger II. As I said, 160mm+ pen is already enough. There is simply no need for specialised tank hunters with Axis on BR4-5.

I guess even if it was downtiered to BR3 the Panzer 4H would still be better in most cases. I don’t see any reason for the Nashorn beeing at BR4.

I was thinking the same thing but I don’t want it to overshadow the Marder TDs

Ideally they should stop adding tank destroyers with 15mm of armor and instead add something cool like the Brummbar, Sturmmorser, or Jagdtiger

At this point it’s just coming down to personal preference which I don’t mind .
You’re right. The Jagdtiger already has its model in the game files. It’ll probably be added in an update themed around the Battle for Berlin. After all, it’s a heavyweight vehicle.
What’s more, 122mm guns will struggle to penetrate it even more than the Panzer III M against the KV series. I just hope DF won’t give the Soviets counter vehicles like the SU-100P or ISU-122. IS-3 or Object 44-100 would be much better.
For now, since we’ve got this vehicle, let’s push for it to be placed at BR 3.
Do you think a tank should get a higher battle rating just for being equipped with machine guns?
Does it matter if a single strafe from an aircraft will make it explode because it has no armor?
Yeah, exactly. I mean, the Rhino has two more machine guns than the Dicker Max. I just don’t get why it’s rated BR4 instead of BR3.

This is just sIG 33 2.0 situation here - powerful cannon in a literal cardboard box, except this time both loaders stick out of it manning MGs.
Even at BR 3 it would be pointless.
So let it rot at BR 4. Maybe actually armored vehicle can be added to BR 3 instead (3 years later). At least this way there’ll be less ‘We have BR 3 TD at home’.

Jagdtiger will never be added - unless the game goes into post war/cold war, it would simply ruin tank gameplay.
Unless devs decide that its balance if it has only HE or something like that (wouldnt be the first time… they make question balancing choices)
But even then - it would be almost immortal to all tanks, what fun is there in a game when you shoot something and it simply takes zero damage?
Im not advocating for it btw.
Im just saying that devs like to do things their own way (jets… post war soviet jet… Meteor having meme turn rate…)
The Jagdtiger is the least of the problems for tanks when there are too many countermeasures to destroy them.
