I would rather have the M36 instead of the M18...I never see the 36 mentioned here or in World of Tanks.
The 36 actually had some armor, and also the 90mm instead of the 76mm.
Unfortunately both would be eaten alive in MA due to the open turret...gun would be popped just as easy as the wirb, but wouldnt be able to fire back.

And I've wondered the same thing. I've even read, somewhere, some disparaging remarks about the M-18 from crews who were formerly in M-10s.
M-10-->3" former AAA gun.
M-18-->76mm, same as in the M-4(76) in game now.
M-36-->90mm, same as the Pershing.
Bigger is better.
