M18 Hellcat Tank destroyer

The American M18 Hellcat was a tank destroyer first designed in December 1941.The design was changed alot,from using a 37mm gun to a British 57mm,then to a 75 mm and finally to a long barreled 76 mm gun,production began in mid 1943.The Hellcat was a good tank destroyer,it was fast and the long barrelled 76mm gun allowed to penetrate the armour of most enemy tanks.The Hellcat was mostly used on the Western front but saw limited service in the Pacific.Production ended in late 1944 but a few Hellcats survived to fight in the Korean war.
