Images of the tank destroyer variants

One of Germany’s famous tank rituals during the war was that for every tank chassis that was designed, there was to either be a tank destroyer or self-propelled gun designed on the chassis too. Most of these resemble other German tank destroyers that were deployed in the war, but these were better designed and overall improved.

  

The E-5 Rutscher had super fast top speeds, very low armour, and average-performing weapons.

E-25 Jagdpanzer These were similar to the E-10 Jagdpanzers, but had slightly better guns and armour.  There are two different models, the Ausf. A and Ausf. B. A noticeable difference is that the E-25 Ausf. B has a machine-gun turret on the top to defend the crew against enemy infantry more effectively. 

The Jagdpanzer E-50 was very similar to the Jagdpanther ll. The differences are that the E-50 version of it has a more powerful weapon, more armour, and is slightly bigger.

The Jagdpanzer E-75 resembles the Jagdpanther, an amazing tank destroyer that was actually produced and fought. This one is just way more heavily armoured and bigger.

  

The E-100 Krokodil is similar to the other Krokodils, but has a huge 17-cm gun and is even bigger,

The E-100 Jagdtiger is a bigger Jagdtiger. The Jagdtiger was the biggest and heaviest tank destroyer of the Second World War. So, this one would have been huge.

The StuG (Sturmgeschutz) E-100 had a massive gun, meant to support other tanks or infantry. Also known as the Jagdpanzer E-100.

The Waffentrager E-100 is unique among these. It has a turret and a semi-automatic reloading gun, which is generally better than a normal tank gun, but with a longer reload.
