The M18 would be cannon fodder as soon as it stops to fire.  I bet HE would be able to bring it down.

It would simply be an up-gunned M8.  It would be nice to have an actual "shoot-n-scoot" AFV, but in AH it would have a very narrow band of opportunity to perform.  Alone or in small groups it would be near-worthless, imo.  It'd have to be supported by tanks, it'd need wide open spaces to use its speed to obtain a flanking position, and it would have to be under friendly skies.

I say the Su-100 first.  That is just me.   :)
youre talking to the guy who just killed 9 tanks in a T34/76 in TT without getting shot :aok actually i had about 5-10 nice runs until i discoed each time :rolleyes:

I would have thought there would be more players asking for an M-36 "Jackson" TD. It came into service in September 1944 and there were quite a few built (@1400). Outside of the M-26 Pershing it was the most powerfull AFV the US fielded in WW2 by virtue of its 90mm gun.

Im partial to model pics to examine shape, this is the upgunned M-10 version (M-36):

This is the version that was mounted on the M4 Shermans hull (M-36B1):
