Flames of War American M18 Hellcat (76mm) Tank Destroyer Platoon (x4)
Fast and Deadly Tank Hunters for U.S. Late-War Forces
Historical Background:
The M18 Hellcat was the fastest armored vehicle fielded by the U.S. during World War II, capable of reaching speeds up to 55 mph (89 km/h). Built for speed and maneuverability, the Hellcat was armed with a powerful 76mm gun, giving it the punch to take out enemy armour while relying on agility rather than armour for protection. Used extensively from 1944 onwards, the M18 served in tank destroyer battalions across France, Belgium, and Germany, excelling in hit-and-run tactics and ambushes. Its open-topped turret and light construction made it vulnerable in prolonged firefights, but in skilled hands, the Hellcat was a deadly and elusive predator on the battlefield.
