Besides, it's not like the Ferdinand/Elefant was a particularly bad tank destroyer by itself, it did it's job excellently. The problems it had were the same engine problems that plagued the Porsche Tiger, almost all units that were lost were lost due to breakdowns and had to be abandoned.

It's engine problems and heavy weight is what made them bad. Like you mentioned either getting stuck in the mud or breaking down was their downfall.
Anyway the Jadgpanther is said to be one of the best tank destroyers that the germans can field.
However the Jagpanzer 38(t) was more common
However in Germany's case they had tanks with powerful enough guns on their tanks that the idea of a tank destroyer was unnecessary. Most of the allied tanks like the Sherman were no match for a one on one with tanks like the tiger or panther. Pershings were few in number and the allies never bothered to build heavy tanks in the mid-late war. The soviets mostly built T-34 while their KV-2's and IS-2 weren't built as much. Anyway most tank destroyers are just hit and run vehicles used for ambushes and flanking.

You guys realize this game has hardly any intention of being historically accurate until they add the whole historical battle gamemode, right
so going on and on about what makes a tank a tank or a tank destroyer is a complete waste of time
