76 mm Gun Motor Carriage M18 USA's army II. He is one of the tank destroyers he used during World War II. Because of his speed during the war, the Wright Continental R-975 engine has a great share, and it was called Hellcat briefly.
In December 1941, the Ordu heavy balls department was working on Christie suspension, Wright Continental R-975 motor and 37 mm bulk tanks. However, it was decided to use a 57 mm ball on the insufficiency of this ball in North African battles. After the studies and trials, 75 mm was decided on 75 mm. In the same way, Chiristie suspensions were thrown and replaced by Burma Spring Suspension. The project was completed in February 1943 and production was started in June 1943.
During the production phase, the views of the US military soldiers have benefited their views. The engine and evening of the vehicle could be easily removed, repaired and easily stuck.

The T70 prototype of the M18 was first used in Anzio in the summer of 1944 in Italy.
It is designed to be fast different from the M10. Therefore, it was smaller and lightweight, which made it fast. It also carried 76 mm balls used in the Sherman 76 model. Although there were 5 crews, 45 ball bullets and M2 machine rifle, there was a comfortable internal volume.
The biggest problem was his weak armor and ineffective ball. With a normal bullet, he could only cause a little damage to the front armor of the German Tiger and Panther tanks. In fact, his armor was thinned and crumbled on the ball to be fast. The power of the 76 mm ball increased thanks to the high destructive strong bullets used towards the end of the war.
