oh god that thing
its so sad they never made it into service just because: GNAGNAGNA ITS TOO DIFFERENT FOR CONVENTIONAL WARFARE GNAGNAGNA

Fucking love the Jagdpanzer IV/70 in War Thunder, it's so satisfying to finally be able to frontally kill M4A3E2 Jumbos with the long 75.
This thing is a real laugh too, the one bright spot in the sea of awful that is British ground forces.

Glad to see that gimmick of a game can't do anything else than copy old and controversial WoT trees.

TOW carriers sort of carry the tradition of dedicated tank hunters today
but we will probably never enter a golden age of dedicated gun-armed TDs

that fucking thing destroyed itself more than it destroyed other fucking tanks.
literally a fucking oversized paper weight
Blake Morris
Probably not, although it also depends on who's fighting I guess.

+1 to OP for being the first person this week to post an accurately labeled Ferdinand.

Is that like Post-Modernism or something?

Well, no, but it was better at destroying itself than other tanks were.

That looks like the thing from MGSV

Reminder that Bradleys killed more armor during the gulf war than any other vehicle using their 30mm cannons, including destroying iraqi T-72s.
Camden Mitchell
I'm reasonably sure the TOW did more than the Bradley's 25mm cannon. They were issued DU armor-piercing rounds, but I doubt that such a round would be effective against tanks at any reasonable combat distance in the open desert. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty positive the Bradley's advantages were superior optics and powerful ATGM armament.
Brandon Garcia
Adam Howard
They killed the T-72s in close quarters, they took out mostly BMP-1s and T-62s at decent range though.
Parker Ortiz
General Motors M18 Hellcat, best tank destroyer of the war.
Isaiah Mitchell
M18 Hellcat
Sebastian Garcia
i would say the M36 was better, since its 90mm gun was able to penetrate much better and have a role even after the 76mm shermans saw service
the m10 and m18 dont really have a point once the easy 8 was fielded
Zachary Edwards
Makes sense - the MRS-4 is like a Type 89, and I think there's other military hardware that looks kinda like modern day JSDF stuff
Thomas Moore
The Hellcat is the sexiest AFV in WW2.
Samuel Moore
nah just ignorant commanders that didnt know how to employ them properly. They usually relegated them to regular TD roles or infantry support. They should have been using that ridiculous 50-60km/h cross country speeds to exploit breaks in the line.
Matthew Sullivan
You ready to get dumped on again, user?
>In retrospect, the M18 76mm GMC was a bitter disappointment. Tank engineering involves compromises between firepower, speed, and protection. This was especially the case with US tank destroyers, since weight constraints placed on the designs forced even greater compromises in terms of firepower and protection. The primary role of a tank destroyer was its ability to knock out enemy tanks and in 1944, the M18 did not have enough firepower to effectively carry out this mission without exposing its crew to extreme risk. General Bruce's obsession with speed distorted the design and resulted in a poorly balanced tank destroyer. By focusing on a fanciful tactical doctrine and ignoring the likely evolution of the enemy threat, Bruce and the Tank Destroyer Command concentrated on the wrong balance. At the time it entered service in the summer of 1944, the M18 was not capable of defeating standard German tanks like the Panther under normal combat conditions. Tank destroyer crews were obligated to perform extraordinary maneuvers to effectively engage the Panther. The M18 Hellcat had no firepower advantages over the M4 (76mm) tank, which enjoyed better armor protection and a larger ammunition supply than the M18. Although many of the young crewmen enjoyed the M18's high road speed, there is no evidence that such high speeds translated into significant combat value on the battlefield. Bruce confused high road speed with battlefield mobility. Although the M18 could race forward at high speed on road, speeds near the forward edge of a battle were restricted by the usual constraints of road congestion and slower speeds in cross-country travel.

>Furthermore, the thin armor and open turret roof of the M18 did not encourage experienced crews to speed forward when in close combat range, but rather to move forward in a slower and more wary fashion to avoid exposure to enemy sniper fire and artillery fire. These design shortcomings combined with an unrealistic tactical doctrine meant that M18 battalions were not primarily used for tank fighting, but were committed more often to improvised roles, usually direct fire support for infantry units. They were not ideally suited to this mission either. Compared to tanks, their poor armor protection meant they could not be used in close terrain such as woods or urban areas due to their vulnerability to enemy infantry. Their firepower was inferior to the normal M4 tank with 75mm gun, since the 75mm gun fired a high-explosive round with twice as much high explosive content as the 76mm projectile. The excellent combat record of my M18 tank destroyer battalions during World War II occurred in spite of of its design features, not because of them. The Hellcat's combat record is attributable to the training and dedication of its crews, not to its ill-conceived design.

That's not an Archer. Any tank destroyer that can't speed itself up by firing it's main cannon can't be that good.
Jackson Hill
I mean they could just traverse the turret over the rear of the tank.
The M18 wasn't a well designed tank destroyer, and I hardly think additional speed would have been of any real benefit.
Nathaniel Green
It wasn't even the best American tank destroyer
Jonathan Roberts
Is the pancake tank not a TD?
Evan Gutierrez
No, it's not. It's a main battle tank
Carter Murphy
Huh. Thanks for the info user.
Hunter Lee
No problem, user. The Swedes do (did?) field a dedicated tank destroyer, which, ironically, looks like a more traditional tank than what they used as a tank.
Wyatt Robinson
