An open-topped tank destroyer, could travel up to 55 mph, packed a traversable 76mm gun and a .50 cal machine gun. Downside: was open-topped so it was susceptible to air attack, had thin armor so was susceptible to pretty much any direct shot bigger than a rifle.
Would be a good counter to the perk tanks, without being uber enough to be perked.
Would be a good way to uncamp a spawn.
Would be good for town defense against a GV assault.

would give the gameplay a whole new meaning. Would change things up bigtime.
I like it. Think of it as like a 76mm M8 :D
-
I like it too... Specifically for certain gameplay reasons...
Like the "get to the town QUICK" situations..

Somebody's been watching "Tank Overhaul"...

lol thats a good show....
I think that the M18 along with the regular M4 would give actully add some American tanks to the mix of russian and german and british (VC Firefly is BRITISH)

and yep! i think someone else has been watching too :noid :noid :noid

actully there is, we already have 2 german tanks we need some American tanks (Sherman Vc is British)

I think that image needs to be a little bit bigger.

So do I, it doesn't do the sexiness justice.

And to give an indication of its small size...

Imagine trying to hit that thing, moving at an angle across your FOV at about 50mph...
And if not the Hellcat, howzabowta M-10 Wolverine?

Dare I say both of them!!!!
And although Neary makes a somewhat valid point, there really is no reason to not have the Panther...... :salute
-
Except for the fact that the Panther was arguably the best German Tank of the war, even comparable to the Tiger?? :huh
Don't wanna hate on the M-18, but I'd rather see the Panther any day. :(
-
It was and it wasn't bro..... The only issue, and it's a big one, is the side armor is paper thin. (40–50 mm thick)
Except for the fact that the Panther was arguably the best German Tank of the war, even comparable to the Tiger?? :huh
But the Panther is one of the main reasons the Ruskies upgraded the T34 to 85mm... Germany put a whole bunch of Panthers on the Russian front. At that point, the only thing the T34's could do is try and flank the Panther.

I'm all for the M18/M10. WE NEED SOME AMERICAN ARMOR DAMMIT
Too bad noone bothered to try fielding dual-barreled tank guns. would have been AWESOME.

If you thought about it, no it would not be. There are plenty of reasons no one ever did so.

The M-10/M-4 combo would be a more usable variation. While i'd love to see the M-18 for scenario/MWA use the "stock" sherman/M10 would be great.
-
Nobody has brought up the m26 yet...... That might be the best idea for adding American armor that could compete with the Tiger's of the world.
Gotta love the Pershing! :aok

What attracted me to the M-18 was the fact that THIS is the burning vehicle that Audie Murphy jumped in to win his Medal of Honor.

Hmm. I always thought it was an M10.
Regarding the "Panther first" cries... the M18 would bring another angle to the game (fast, good gun, light/med armor). The Pzr V would just be another tank.
The M18 or M10 would be vulnerable to MG/cannon attack from the air just like the Whirlwind, Eastwind, M16, M3, and 251, but it would be almost immune to MG fire from the ground (still much better armored than the M8). However, I dont think you can look upon the 37mm or field ack as an annoyance like you can while in a Tiger or other such tank.
-
Yes to the M-18! :aok Yes to the M-10! :aok Ok, and yes to the Panther! :aok
-
since i haveen't figured out how to make a post yet i'll start with a re-play post....an m-18 would be good for a fast light armor tank destroyer....also I'd like to call some attn. to the m-5 a5 fighting tank it was i believe introdueced towards the end of ww2 and didn't get much attn it was built for aa and anti personel purposes I believe it also had flame-thrower capability...another wish is for infantry assualt possibilties...it would make for an awsome ground war.
-
I like the M-18 because it has the gun to deal with the Sherman and Tiger, the speed to do base defense, but lacks the armor to withstand any sort of air assault or airfield gun. It would change the strategy without being an uber-weapon.

You're right. Murphy won his MoH while shooting from an M-10.
Oh well. Another reason to bring in either the M-10 or M-18!

while doing this, lets get the M4A1 76mm in also.... we need more tanks.... (btw, this is the 30th thread for GVs) ID Think HTC would be interested by now.... now a list.... M18 and M10, an american M4, M3 (maybe)? then go with a stug or the panther....then how about some brit tanks like the cromwell, crusader, and the churchill???
