I have found slow tank destroyers to be way to easy to disable.
You can't use turretless units as damages sponges since they get easily detracked. And then renderd useless...
Whats so great about the JP is that its so fast. You can quickly go in for the kill and then move back again. Elefants are just too slow for that and they will just try to avoid it if they see it comming.
But i can agree on that the JP is easy target for artillery. Normaly avoid getting it if theres alot of arty spam going on...or if there are ISU-152s out.

Jagdpanthers don't exactly have an impressive reverse-speed. I usually see people use it in the same way as the elefant or other heavy tanks, which is from far back sniping over-eager tanks.
Though yes, I see your point very well. A Jagdpanther is very flexible, and in my experience harder 2 immobilize than an elefant.
I still almost always buy Elefants though, as the maps usually aren't that big.
