It’s a cold, foggy morning on September 19th, 1944. At an allied camp near the town of Arracourt, France.
2nd Lieutenant and Platoon Leader Ed Leiper waits anxiously by the command tent alongside his Commanding Officer and Company Commander Tom Evans. A communication comes through - Enemy tanks have been spotted !
A few moments later M-18 Hellcats of the C Company 3rd Platoon roll out of the base led by two Willys Jeeps. What happens next is an Epic tank battle through the fog of American Hellcats vs German Panzer 4s.

You see the bazookas underwing on a Cub and have to think, "No way, Rosie the Rocketer makes a cameo in this one?" But of course it's that guy. What a legend. Very impressive for four TDs to take out 14 tanks with only two knockouts and a mobility kill in reply, also. The Hellcat wasn't a popular machine in the army, nor did it see particularly wide service, so it's nice to see its moment in the spotlight. If I may make one critique of the video-your animations have progressed to the point that I would have expected to see the crew in the open tops operating the guns. These Hellcats had phantom loaders! Anyway, thanks for producing it.

[@TheAttacker732]

The M18 Hellcat was one mean piece of engineering. Hellcats were one of the most effective armored fighting vehicles in the entire war.

[@roxuub]

also i'd like to see what damage the bullet does like when it hits, the insides of the tank are shown and the damages are shown

[@TheOreoOverlord]

@@roxuub cool yes however there are two problems with this 1: this would be Incredibly difficult to animate as the level of detail would need to be extreme 2: although we often know roughly where was hit (i.e. turret side, hull front ect) it is almost never documented exactly where the enemy was hit. To show the insides and the damage, the tanks I sides would need to be modeled many times foe each hit. What I'm saying Is, it would be extremely time consuming and expensive

The 76mm Gun Motor Carriage M18 Hellcat might've had a very thin armour, but it's mobility and hard hitting 76mm M1A1/M1A2 gun made it a hard-hitting machine in the hands of experience tankers

[@guywithpotatoes8266]

yet it was still hated by their crews

[@hagamapama]

@@guywithpotatoes8266 Of course it was, because it had no armor and the crew were exposed to enemy fire. But when it could operate as it was supposed to, from ambush, it was amazing.

[@kenle2]

@@guywithpotatoes8266 That's because it looked like a tank and too many soldiers expected it to be able to ACT like a medium tank. Instead it was a self-propelled anti-tank gun. It wasn't supposed to go one-on-one with a Panzer out in the open head to head, any more than a German 88 mm Flak was supposed to stand up to heavy artillery shell bursts around its crews.

@@thehighground7732 While it's true that the Shermans had a more durable transmission, the Panther having a transmission with a short lifespan wasn't as sever of a problem for the americans as they could be shipped via trains to get repaired at factories. The transmission issues derive from it's massive 45 ton weight, which did mean it had more armor than most other tanks at the time so they're technically superior in that fact.

[@dennisnicholson952]

The fact that the American Hellcat tank destroyers were so effective is because of the 76 millimeter shells, that they fired, were HVAPs (High-Velocity Armor-Piercing) shells. The basic American philosophy for their use was as tank destroyers whereas our tanks were used to support our troops in various capacities and scenarios. Thanks; I really enjoyed this one.
