The M18 Hellcat is one of the best flanking tanks in War Thunder but it does lack firepower sometimes. The premium Super Hellcat fixes that by taking the turret and weaponry of the M36 Jackson. It is very fun, especially after it was buffed shortly before the BR changes, but it is a bit of a sidegrade.

From the research I’ve done The commanders who disliked the M18 tended to misuse them Attempting to use them like the soviets would use their TD’s or as the Germans would use their panthers The M18 was always meant as a flanking tool, its mobility and light weight meant it could attack from locations that the enemy just didn’t expect The M18 was loved by the men who used them properly, and the vehicle had a fantastic career, with hundreds of Panzer 4’s and Stug 3’s and 4’s destroyed The battle of Arracourt was a great example of the effectiveness of the M18 hellcat 3 M18’s were lost to 14 Panzer 4’s All the while being outnumbered The m18 was incredibly effective up to the panther and tiger 1 But those were rare on the western front And even more so, rare that they wouldn’t have an opportunity to flank the enemy All in all, it has a decorated history, kinda muddied by commanders who Ill understood the weapons they were given

I read very similar stuff about the M18. I also read that tankers knew that regardless of the tank they were engaging it was most likely able to penetrate so the lack of armor wasn’t really an issue.

@kirotheavenger60 Ай бұрын

M18s were intended to race to positions and prepare in reaction to an enemy attack, they were not intended to go racing around the frontlines to the flanks. Indeed, thats precisely the sort of thing you want a lot of armour for, as you will encounter AT guns around the enemy frontlines. GMCs like the M18 and M10 should be thought of as AT guns that can quickly locate themselves, not as offensive weapons in their own right

@yapalskippy1807 Ай бұрын

Eh i mean the m18's neat but there's a defense for the commanders who wanted something on par with a panther or a soviet TD and instead got...another vehicle with mid armor.
