A fast yet vulnerable Tank destroyer, One of my fav AFVs...I like the version with the 90mm gun!

Thanks for the pic. The rubber tracks on this are not standard . The war time M18 had all steel tracks. These tracks are from a 1950's era M24 Chaffee.

Thanks for your precision It's probably on purpose because I think it's forbidden by the french law to drive on the road with steel tracks. I have already seen these kind of track on other tanks (on a Sherman for example) during other french re-enactements.

Asbolutely ! The M18 can reach the speed of 90km/h (more or less 55mph) !!! But his armor was insufficient against German Panthers or Tigers.

But it probably can outrun their aim
