Cheaper and faster to make, also if you have to upgrade your guns and
don't
have
time to re-engineer a new tank you can take existing chassis throw a
bigger
gun into it
and box the crew compartment in (instead of using a turret).
real life example Germany during W.W.II turned obsolete tanks into tank
destroyers
with bigger guns than they could fit into then present tank production.
Just a quick and dirty explanation.

I guess I am a bit confused about ecological niches.
What is the advantage of a tank destroyer over using
a tank for the same purpose?
