I am experienced tanker and, although the M18 has a great gun, the fact the the commander himself is so exposed, there needs to be a duck button for him, the M2 on the top is lethal, but you have to stay right back to use effectively…
This applies to M8 Scott too, not sure about M10, I noticed if you choose gunner view he kind of can stay hidden, but commanders are dead…
So until this is considered by devs, I will go back to using my m24 chaffee, which is fast, has sloped armour and better than M18, gun is 75mm which isn’t as good but ‘commander death cost’ of M18 is too much for me right now.
M10 M7 cannon is not as outperforming as thought in comparison to M1 cannon of 76W sherman , imo M1 is quite same regardind efficiency in this game
i use M10 anyway , and of all open top tanks this one is the most safe for crew
and since they wont add jackson to campaign because they told they want 40 lvls only, it seems that this will be all from the tanks allies will get for free
Used the M18 4 times just to try it. Only good when staying absolutely behind and probably in the grey zone. Once I advance I get shot. The automatical shooting hull MG is funny but not worth the deal.
Yet I destroyed several Tigers with the M18 from some crazy ankles.
But as I said: not my playstyle, sadly.
The 76 w is better armored and have the same cannon, still i dont understand wy we get the m18 withaut the 76mm m7 like the m10, is totally worst than the m10
