Description
Flames of War's M18 GMC Hellcat Tank
The M18 had a crew of 5 (commander, driver & 3 gunners) and weighed a mere 40,000lb (16.4 US tons, 14.9 metric Tonnes). It had a maximum speed of 50mph (80kph) and could travel cross-country at 20mph (32kph). It carried 45 rounds of 76mm ammunition as well as a further 800 rounds for its .50cal AA machine gun. It proved an agile and fast vehicle with an excellent power-to-weight ratio. The 76mm gun gave it enough punch to defeat all but the most heavily armored Axis vehicles. Its maneuverability allowed it to outflank those it couldn't take on frontally.
