Best Tank Destroyer/ self-propelled gun

[parsifal]

swallow your national prides guys. The germans were the tank bulder par excellance, and the TD builders par ecxcellance as well. For the allies and the Soviets, this particular part of the war was just all about the numbers. We couldnt match em for quality, not in a month of Sundays

Not the best TD, but a very cost effective, and effective little number just the same was the little Italian Semovente. Eas well suited to Italian capabilities, and still quite useful, even as a TD (which it was not designed for)

What could I possibly add?

Yes this little bugger was very effective. Whilst playing war games this fellow always came in handy in regards to the allocation of buying points and usefulness

My pick would be the Jagdtiger in a defensive role.

Why:

128mm Pak 44(80) L/55 & 2 x 7.92mm MG34/42

The resulting vehicle featured very heavy armor and the 128 mm PaK 44 L/55 gun capable of defeating any tank fielded in World War II, even at long ranges (+3,500 m)

The jagdpanther, no question about it. More agile than the Jagdtiger and more deadly than a Tiger 1.

Dunno if we've already discussed it, but what was both the Allied and Axis verdict on the anti-tank capabilities of the Semovente M 41M da 90/53?
