M36 tank hunter, officially 90 mm Gun Motor Carriage, M36, II. He was an American tank hunter used during World War II. The M36 combined the M4 Sherman's reliable chassis and a new turquoise that msles the M10 tank hunter and a 90 mm m3 ball that uses the reliable transfer organs combined with curved armor. Designed in 1943, the M36 first served in the war in Europe in October 1944, where the M10 tank hunter took part in part. It was also used in the Korean War, where he could defeat any of the Soviet tanks used in this conflict. Some of them were supplied to South Korea. Two of them remained in service in the Chinese Republic's army until at least 2001.

After July 1943, the armor bosses on the body side of the M10A1 were deleted because the armor kits were never produced. This meant that some M36s had unnecessary bosses, and others were not. M36 initially kept the M10A1's "stirrup" ball on the back body; The crew was unhappy because of the lack of a suitable movement lock for a 90 mm ball, and many of them improvised from travel locks from tanks. Since the huge barrel output of the 90 mm ball prevented the opinion of the crew and reduces the rate of shooting, after the first 600, a double -part barrel brake was installed on all vehicles starting from the beginning of November 1944. A suitable folding travel lock was better added to the rear body in accordance with the 90 mm ball. The gun itself was also replaced with a better balancing and stronger lifting mechanism.
Since the first contract is for 300 vehicles, General Motors' Fisher Tank Arsenal produced the last 300 M10A1 tank hunter in January 1944 without towers to transform it into M36. This transformation lasted from April 194 to July. Since it was decided to convert the existing M10A1s into M36s, the contract was then increased to 500 vehicles. Then, on May 15, 1944, the need was increased to 600 vehicles. It was found that the M10 tank hunter fought against German tanks such as Panther and especially Tiger during the Normandy campaign. The contract was increased to 1,400 vehicles on 29 July 1944. This caused problems because only 913 of the completed 1,413 M10A1 can be requested from educational units. Due to the absence of M10A1 bodies, it was decided to complete the first production work by assembling M36 turrets with the necessary internal changes to M4A3 Sherman bodies. 187 90 mm ball motor car M36B1 production between December 1944 ran. Between June and December 1944, Massey-Harris turned the 500 M10A1 into M36. Between October and December 1944, the American locomotive company turned 413 M10A1 into M36. The army reduced the target of 1,400 vehicles to 1,342 vehicles for 1944. 350 transformation was planned for 1945; This number was increased to 584. The last 200 M10A1 party was transformed by Montreal Locomotive Works in May 1945.
At the end of the supply of the M10A1s, it was decided to use M10 bodies for all other transformations in January 1945. As of May 1945, the American Locomotive Company has transformed the 672 M10 body into 90 mm day engine Carrige M36B2. In May 1945, a 52 m36b2 party was completed by Montreal Locomotive Works.

The first 40 m36 did not go to overseas countries until September 1944 and entered the war in October 1944. The US first and ninth armies used the M36 to re -equip the tank hunter battalions connected to the armored sections. 703. Tank Hunter Battalion began to be equipped again on September 30, 1944. The third US Army used them to re -equip the battalions. 610. Tank Hunter Battalion (withdrawal) began training again on September 25, 1944. [4] The first tank hunter battalion to take M36 in the early September, 776th, was transit from Italy at the time and did not use them in the war until October 1944. At the end of 1944, the seven tank hunter battalion turned into M36. M36. M36 mostly replaced the M10 at the end of the war.
The M36 was loved by teams because it was one of the few armored war vehicles that US forces could use remotely destroyed the heavy German tanks. 1. Team, A Company A, 814. Corporal Anthony Pinto of the Tank Hunter Battalion, 4,200 yard (3,800 meters) overturned a Panther. Another 814. Nişancı, Lieutenant Alfred Rose, against a Panther, the maximum range of telescopic view 4,600 yarts (4200 meters)
However, Panther's 82 to 85 mm thick inclined plate could only dived certain shots from the 150 yard (137 meters) 90 mm wholesale and Tiger II's 150 mm thick front armor.
The M36 was used by the US army during the Korean War. Any Soviet production deployed in the field of operation can destroy AFV. A post -war change was the addition of a ball of a ball with a ball to the auxiliary driver, as in many other armored war vehicles of the time. Due to the inadequacy of M26 and M46 tanks, the M36 was one of the preferred armored vehicles for MAP (Military Aid Program) transfers. During the Korean War, South Korean Tank Battalions were provided with 110 m36 (with a small number of M10 tank hunters).
M36s also II. It was exported to various countries after World War II. It was used by the French army during the War of the First Kaneidi.
The Pakistani army received 50 M36 in the 1950s in the 1950s, which served in the 1965 Indo-Pakistan War. On September 1, 1965, Jammu and Kashmir's Chamb - Jourian - Akhnoor industry attacked a surprise attack of M36B2 tank hunters and M48 Patton middle tanks, respectively [9], respectively. An Indian force of an infantry brigade and 12 French-made amx-13 fleet. The attack was strongly resisted, and in the first stage, India claimed that the six Pakistani tanks (reported that Patton) had been destroyed. In a second attack, which was initiated at 1100 and objected by the Indian forces, it was reported that seven more Pakistani tanks demanded. [10] Pakistani attackers succeeded in destroying or seizing all Indian tanks, while high losses.
Another buyer was Yugoslavia. [11] The engine was then replaced by 500 HP Soviet-made diesel engine used in T-55 main battle tanks. The Yugoslav M36 participated in the Slovenian War of Independence (1991) and Croatia War of Independence (1991–1995), but after the war, they immediately withdrew from the service in the Croatian Armed Forces. The M36s were also used by the Serbian forces in Bosnia and Croatia and were used as feeds for NATO air strikes during the Kosovo War.
In 1955, the army of the Chinese republic placed eight former French samples in the Kinmen Island group and saw war during the second Taiwan Strait crisis in 1958. The larger M48A3 and the next CM11 /12 MBTs were accepted to have the ability to maneuver. M24 and M41 are stronger than light tanks. As of April 2001, at least two still remained in service with troops in the town of Leyu.
