Tank Destroyer

Best Tank Destroyer of WW2?

May choose any conflict any countries TD as long as it was used in WW2.
I should correct myself, I meant Self propelled Tank Destroyers, However I will allow Tank destroying weapons as well due to me not asking the question properly. I like the M18 Hellcat, Achilles and the 17 Pounder. I think the Jagd Panzer IV TD was great, does anyone else think so, however I think unless standing off at great distances, turreted TD's are more effective.

Personally I am partial to the US M18 Hellcat. It was light and fast with a decent gun. It was in many ways the quintessential tank destroyer, it was built to hit and run instead of slugging it out.

My second choice would be the German Hetzer, good armor, decent gun, and small size.

The larger German TDs like the Jagdpanther and Jagdtiger are just too big in my opinion. They were effective if used in the right way to be sure, but they functioned more like an assault gun with extra anti armor capability.
