Tank Destroyers (CoW 1.5)

I've been seeing people say that tank destroyers are useless, and I never see them being used. However, judging by the stats, tank destroyers seem to be a great counter against light and medium tanks, which I see most players using. Even though they're better at defending than attacking, they still attack armor better than any other type of tank. Am I wrong? Because something isn't adding up here.

Attack bombers are more effective and anti-tank is cheaper, but they aren't a "bad unit".

For example If I choose a small country at 73p historical map 1.5

I have 15k from every resource I need to spend from all of them

what should I do ? firstly try to stay alive against medium and big countries

so what I need ? militias , infantries , anti-tanks , artilleries , anti-airs

we have already militias anti tanks and anti airs from beginning we produced some artilleries and infantries but both of them needs goods and food to produce so we have still oil and iron to spend for something

so what we need to produce ? yes answer is tank destroyer level 1 tank destroyer has 40 hp and %25 bonus for cities dont produce light or medium tanks with your oil and iron only go tank destroyer and you will stay alive

it is about resources it is about resource planning how much you have ? which type resource you have ?

what can you produce with oil and iron ? what is your position on world ? what is your strategy ?

yes anti tank is cheap but Äąt needs goods and food you have oil and iron too you need spend them and tank destroyers has different advantages too

They're much better in 1.5. They were terrible units in 1.0. However, build only build it if you have extensive resources.

Sure it's different for axis, and depends on terrain. I'm just saying, it looks like tank destroyers have their uses. This is especially against medium tanks.
