Not only can the US faction enjoy the Jumbo, but the US M10 Tank Destroyer will blow their mines!
The M10 was the first vehicle to establish the American style of WWII tank destroyer and numerically the most important tank destroyer of WWII. This tank destroyer is often referred to as the “Wolverine”, but the origins of the nickname are unknown. It is assumed that the nickname was invented after the war, as the soldiers simply called it TD.
The M10’s doctrine is to exchange heavy armor with heavy guns to enable maneuverability and ambush tactics against German tank breakthroughs. Agility and speed is the M10’s defense.
In the game the M10 is equipped with a 3 inch Gun M7 and can be upgraded with Armor Piercing Composite Rigid and High Explosive Ammunition and one supply crate.
Give it to me
Us Tank Crewman can unlock the M10 at Armor Assault Ribbon Rank 6 and equip it as a Tank Destroyer.
The M10 on the Battlefield
The M10 battalions were attached to Infantry to provide additional direct and indirect fire support and attacking obstacles such as fortifications and enemy vehicles. The M10 had its debut in the North African Campaign in 1943, but also took part in the Normandy campaign and the 899th Tank Destroyer Battalion equipped with M10’s blunted a German counter-attack near Le Desert and diminished the German forces in a fierce two day battle.
