And yes, it had the same gun as the m10.
The M10 should be using the M7 76mm gun. The M18 used the M1A2 gun which was more powerful.
Thats its a TD doesnt mean it gets a free pass. 160 penetration is a lot especially if you take hvap into account. the suggestions here would make all axis heavy tanks completely worthless which they somewhat already are .against the usf i will always say :build either puma's/jp4's and skip the heavies they dont work against jacksons unless you are on a cc map.
That it doesnt penetrate 100 % of the time doesn't make an unit useless, after all i consider the puma one of the better axis AT units and it has only 50 % chance of penetrating a t-34/sherman
Funny since the panther kills so many things effectively. The Panzer IV/70 can even shrug off shells from the M36 like it fired rubber shells.
The only things this M36 is really a threat to are Panzer IV and Tigers. It can barely harm a King Tiger.
