No it would not be its slanted armor is like 1 inch  it acts as 2 inches though. besides the fact m8 wont be able to pierce from long ranges because its slanted rear and side and turret yes front no only up close.Be sides we could use a American tank.

The main purpose of a Tank Destroyer is it is lightly armored but fast. You ambush, kill and run. The M10 and M18 destroyers are not tanks. They are much more manuverable then a tank and with there lighter weight they can are 2 times as fast as a tank. Its a good tool that if used right would be a benefit to any Army.

The M18 Hellcat would offer high speed (48mph?), med to high anti-armor fireower (very low HE ability, since HE shells were not issued but in low numbers to a *tank destroyer*), armor slightly better than the M8, but sloped, and an open turret.

It would be a fruit cake on teh defensive, but a real force to be concerned with on teh offensive due to its ability to hit-n-run vs gv's and the strength of its gun.

The best defense is a good offense :)    That's always the best way to defend a base,go out and hit ad run with T34s or M8s
