Advantages:

Excellent top gun; possesses overkill penetration yet damage-per-minute and handling are still top notch.
Decent gun arc.
Good camo rating.
Reload with the stock gun let''s you stitch enemies to death

Disadvantages:

Survivability is still pathetic; huge size + non-existent armor = quick destruction
Aggravating lack of gun depression
Only the radio carries over, researching the performance-wise identical guns again can be frustrating
Mediocre mobility especially compared to predecessor
Vulnerable forward mounted transmission & engine with low module HP, especially so if being de-tracked too

Tank description:

The Nashorn is a German tier 6 tank destroyer.The official designation of the Nashorn ("Rhinoceros") tank destroyer was 8.8 cm PaK 43/1 auf Geschützwagen III/IV (Sf). The vehicle was designated the Hornisse ("Hornet") until 1944. Produced on the same chassis as the Hummel heavy SPG. The vehicle first saw combat on the Eastern Front in the summer of 1943. A total of 494 vehicles were manufactured.The Nashorn is very similar to its predecessor, the Pz.Sfl. IVc. It sacrificed mobility for a fantastic top gun, however the armor is still negligible and is a relatively large target. Therefore, it should be played in the same fashion as the Pz.Sfl. IVc -- stay behind the frontline in a sniping position and support teammates with its superb penetration and accuracy. In the end game, its increased hit points compared to its predecessor can be very useful.The Nashorn leads to the Sturer Emil.
