Details

*Unsealed parts, unstarted.*

The M36 Jackson or Slugger is an American tank destroyer from the Second World War. The M36 entered combat in the second half of 1944. Despite such a late deadline, he managed to be famous for destroying a large number of enemy vehicles, especially during the German offensive in the Ardennes. Most of the design was based on the proven M10, but a typical turret was introduced that worked in conjunction with the best 90mm M3 anti-tank gun from the American arsenal of the time. Together with the newly introduced new HVAP missiles, it was able to penetrate all German armor without exception. In fact, the M36 Jackson was the only American armored vehicle capable of dealing with the German Tigers and Panthers on its own. The effect of effectiveness was high demand and production, which reached 1,400 units in less than a year. After World War II, M36 continued to be used in fighting in Korea, India’s war with Pakistan, and even the Balkan conflicts. In addition to the basic version, two others were produced: M36B1 (turret mounted on the Sherman M4A3 body) and M36B2 (M10 with M36 turret and diesel engine). Technical data: length (with a barrel): 7.46m, width: 3.05m, height: 3.28m, weight 29t, engine power: 450KM, speed: 42km / h, armament: 1 90mm M3 cannon, 1 12.7mm Browning HB M2 machine gun.
