About the Vehicle:
Introduced in 1943, the Nashorn was based on a hybrid chassis combining elements of the Panzer III and IV. Despite its light armor, the Nashorn’s devastating 88mm gun allowed it to destroy Allied tanks before they could return fire. It served on both Eastern and Western fronts, proving particularly effective in ambush roles and long-range engagements.
