rewishing for A M-36 tank destroyer

[lunatic1]

PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE can we have a M-36 tank destroyer, pretty pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee e with sugar on it.

[Skuzzy]

Wait a minute,....you want sugar on a vehicle?  Was that standard issue?  I am pretty sure it was not.

[oboe]

That would be a sweet GV to have in AH.

The M-36S had it (S s for sugar), it was a field mod from the.beginning but became standard with the S- version.

Sometimes I scratch my head at the rides we don't have in this game after doing the research. This would end up with a perk ride and a slug fest opponent for the TigerII. At 26mph it would be overly competitive and a terror for panthers. Depending on the perk, it could become over used and dominate the fights. But, it's the kind of thing GVers dream of when they think winning in the arena.

I had wished for the M-36 before
now somebody wished for a Jagdtiger so I renewed my wish for the M-36

Wouldnt this still be outmatched by a T2 at range if it came down to a slugfest since it was on a sherman chassis? Maybe the pershing would be a more even match up?

A few allied perk tanks though seems like a reasonable request tho.

I'd actually like

to fight this ....

Yes, it was all gun, and would still have issues penetrating the front of a Tiger 2 at range.  The front armor would only really give trouble to the Panzers and other Shermans at range.  Its also rather slow.  We do need the US 90mm in the game though, as well as the Pershing.

Problem w Allied tanks is that most of them was really crappy, at least by AH standard. The British idea of Infantry and cavalry tanks make pretty much all of them useless in the MA cause no one want a tank that tops 15 mph. On the other end of the scale is the American tank destroyer doctrine, TD:s are fast and have good guns but are killed by .50s and M8:s... Almost no allied (non Russian) tank combines armor, firepower and mobility in such way that they are attractive for the AH player.

The M-36 would have to be perked due to the gun and mobility but like the M-18 it will be a piecemeal for strafing fighters and thus the use will be limited to long range sniping, few people would risk the perks..

At most it would be 1 perk, its slow and open turreted.  Penetration is similar to the 17lb.  The T-34/85 needs more perks in my opinion as it would outshine the M-36.
There are several allied tanks that would be used in AH.
Cromwell/Comet
Challenger
Pershing
M4A3E2

It would be a lot more than 1 perk, the M18 is at 1-2 perks.

M-18 has a good gun with great speed.
M-36 is just a good gun with no speed, basically a Firefly.
T-34/85 should be base of 4-5 perks instead of the 1-2 it currently is.
