Most Important TD the M10 Wolverine

[DemonFox]

The M10 Wolverine was the most produced TD or WWII. It was availible as early as 1942. It was armed with a 3 inch gun (same as FireFly). It was better armored then the M18 but was slower at only 36 MPH. I personally think this would be a better addition then the M18 that only entered the war in 1944 in September.

The M10 primarily used the M1918 3" gun. There was a British-modified version called the Achilles that mounted the 17 pounder that the firefly has. I think it would more or less be like a slightly faster, less survivable version of the 76mm M4 we have now. The place it could shine is in the mid war arenas.

The M10 was used all through the war not just mid war. The difference in tanks and TD's besides armor was the ammo while tanks had AP rounds the TD's were issued a "HOT" round that was only issued to TD units, but tank crews would try to trade or barter for the hot rounds. M10s had more time in combat than any other TD.

for all countries? you and the op should take care how you try to assert the importance of something you wish to have added. the 75mm gun on the m10 proved to be mostly ineffective against german armor, hence the reason for the m18 and m36 development, both of which i'm sure were considered very important developments by the men who took them into battle.

so after these make it in the game do I get a sniper rifle to shoot into the convenient open tops?

your screwed when BAR gets here...

StuG III first....

wonder where BAR is...

I think the M18 would be easier to add because the hull of the M4 is already in game.  The main gun is slightly different, but nothing too major to model I bet as it is right on par with the M4A3's 76mm.

However, the M10 really offers no advantage vs what we have now in AH.  The M18 is much faster and would offer a new "category" in AH: fast and powerful, but weak in armor.

have you taken in the fact of the gun, armor, suspension, engine, tracks and turret?

if you build it... he will come


M-18 would be much more significant an addition over the M-10. it gives us speed mixed with firepower. something nothing in the game has. M-10 would be nice but its an M4/76 with a topless turret...

gyrene the M-10 had the 3" gun. thats the equivalent to the M4/76's 76mm gun. all it was was heavier than the later 76mm.

the reason the M-18 came out was to create a TRUE tank destroyer. it took the new 76mm cannon (lighter), had a new torsion bar suspension, a solid transmission, and a great engine, and virtually NO armor. the epitome of what a tank destroyer was supposed to be <S> kill or be killed

     As opposed to the ease of modeling the Stug III?  We don't even have the Panzer III hull yet

It would take a jarhead to to flame a simple post, I don't really care about GVing. But i do have the number of kills credited to the M10 if you would like it.

Sorry, I meant "M10" would be easier/faster to add.  The M10 uses the same hull as the M4.  So the hull armor, suspension, tracks, speed, etc are all the same.  The turret and gun would be the most time consuming things to model.
