Well when you get the Nashorn for half the price of a JP. And mounts same gun as the JP you can't expect it to have good armor aswell.
Like i said Nashorns are not for soaking damage in any way. Just shoot and then hide.
I dont recomend you try to fight Pershings and IS-2s at max range with it. Cuz then it will normaly deflect or miss.
However many times you can just quickly race for the enemy tank while its bussy. I Normaly get close enough so i get roughly 130-150 in penetration(which can be done from pretty far away). Then the chances of a kill is more like 70% if you manges to get your shot off.
Now ofc the Nashorn can get spotted and fucked up, or it misses. But you can't really expect it to be 100% sucessfull when its fighting units twice its cost.
Also don't recomend using Nashorns vs IS-3s. Even King tigers have to be damn close to kill and IS-3 frontally. And you will never be able to get that close with a Nashorns paperthin armor.
But yeah, if you can afford a JP. Its normaly a safer investment.
But don't underestimate the Nashorn. have killed many IS-2s, Pershings, IS-1s etc with it.
