321BAR,

Stop.  Just. Stop.

This is useless.  You know it is most likely coming and that HTC will show a number of screenshot previews before a new patch.  You already know how this goes, posting here will not accelerate it in the slightest.

But that seems to be just a rumor, more likely they'll be adding the Beaufighter after the P-40s

From: M18 Hellcat Tank Destroyer 1943-97 by StevenJ. Zaloga, p.13

Quote
The initial production batches of the M18 were fitted with the M1A1 gun which could be distinguished by the smooth barrel. There had been repeated complaints about the excessive blast of the 76mm gun, and tests of a double baffle design were completed in January 1944. Adoption of the muzzle brake was approved on February 11, 1944. Production of the new muzzle brakes did not take place until June 1944. In the interim, the improved M1A1C 76mm gun entered production which was threaded at the end to accept a muzzle brake. The M1A1c gun an be distinguished by a thread-protecting ring at the front of the gun barrel which was added to prevent damage to the threads. The appropriate maintenance work order was approved in October 1944. Besides adding a muzzle brake, the conversion required the addition of three lead counterweights on the end of the gun recoil guard to compensate for the weight added to the front end of the gun barrel. In the event, few of these vehicles appear to have been retrofitted with the muzzle brake during the war. The 76mm guns manufactured with muzzle brakes were designated as 76mm gun M1A2 and these were fitted to new M18 tank destroyers during the final few months of production in the summer of 1944, totalling less than 700 vehicles. 



From the same book, p.20:

I wonder if this will be modeled?

Quote
One direct hit on heavily armored vehicles knocked them out by killing the crew. This was caused by fragmentation not only from the shell but from pieces of armor blown off by the force of the shell. Shells hitting the Hellcat, on the other hand, in many instances went through the hull like a hot knife through butter, killing possible one or two men, but not disabling the vehicle. This was like a heavy bomber when shells pass right through the fuselage without knocking the plane out of action.
