In my honest opinion, the M10 makes a surprisingly good glass cannon despite how weakly armored it is and how underrated of a job it does at countering the Panther A. What bothers me though is, like the M8 Scott, is the Commander is vulnerable to be being killed because his head is sticking out. However, the difference between the M10 and the M8 is that there clearly is enough room for the M10 Commander to at least duck his head down as he is in the turret. I, myself, have not seen how high he is sitting at the turret, but I am guessing it from the head to the shoulders. Obviously, because the M10 has an open hatch, he still can be killed if a soldier climbs up and shoots him or the commander gets killed by fragmentation. It may seem like a minor issue, but it gets really irrating when you have a full crew, but 60% of them have to go up to the commander’s port only to die instantly and it’s not that helpful if the M10 can’t effectively engage enemy infantry with the .50 cal when there’s only 2 crewmembers left. The ducking would save the commander, but of course, if you want to shoot the .50 cal, you have to peek your head out to shoot it, like every other tank in the game.
I agree. Only British tank commanders should not have the possibility of ducking, as “Gentlemen and officers never duck or take cover (like peasants)”. Well according to them at least.
Usa tank commanders at least are not subject to that rule as they seem to value their own life.

absolutely.
m10s should be able to duck to be somewhat less exposed
