Heavy tank destroyer
A heavy tank destroyer is a specialized armored vehicle designed primarily to locate and eliminate large, heavily armored enemy tanks. Unlike standard tanks, which combine offensive and defensive roles, these vehicles focus on powerful guns and thick armor to maximize firepower against tough targets. They often lack turrets, meaning their guns are fixed to aim in a specific direction, requiring the entire vehicle to be repositioned to change aim. Heavy tank destroyers are used strategically to break through enemy lines and target the most formidable armored opponents, playing a critical role in battlefield dominance.
