Sometime when your in a bad situation, For example the enemy got a Pershing or and IS-2 out. That is very well guarded from any infantry attacks.

Difference is the Nashorn has no defence what so ever while the Jagdpanther or panther even can take some fight with the Pershing.
There is no garantue that the Nashorns formidable gun would penetrate a Pershing or IS2. And the fact how easily the Nashorn can be seen chance is high that you loose it before you can shoot or get close enough for a certain penetration. Dont forget accuracy plays a significant role as well! You CAN theoreticaly on max distance take out the Pershing, IS2 and even damage the IS3 on his turret and gun. But how high is the chance to achieve that with the first shot ? Maybe 30%. Thats not enough.
The Nashorn is more a desperate unit. Maybe usefull to guard your flanks from a ambush position. Or to use it to get some heavy tank in its flank from long range.
In reality the Nashorn was a very succesfull tank hunter cause of its powerfull gun and experienced crews tank hunters usualy use different tactics compared to battle tanks.
