The M36 is an awesome, kick a$$ WW2 tank destroyer. Until the late M26 Pershing heavy tank introduction, the M36 was the only AFV that could take in the latest heavy German armor. I shy away from calling it the Jackson. It seems this was a post-war nickname. Also in 2021 honoring Confederate generals in no longer acceptable.

@@jeffreyyoung7824 - Not sure I follow you, Jeffrey.... are you referring to the shape of the M-10 or the M-36? The M-10 series were afflicted with counter-balance issues early in their development. It was discovered that the M-10's turret did not always revolve reliably upon command, especially upon slopes and uneven terrain. The problem was localized in part to improper turret weight distribution. Because of the dire need for the tank destroyers in TD units, rather than an immediate redesign, a series of "duck-bill" shaped counter-weights were retrofitted to remedy the problem of too much weight forward. These retrofit kits could also be installed in the field, by mechanics and other armor-support personnel. Steve Zaloga discusses these in his Osprey Military book on the M-10 TD. The M-36 Jackson, which came along later in the war, had a turret basket "bustle" which acted as a counterweight to the long and heavy 90mm gun, and also provided storage for an additional 10-11 rounds of ammunition, as well as providing a surface upon which a pedestal-mounted MG could sit.

Okay, lesson time. M10, M18, and M36 were not tanks. They were tank destroyers which had far less armor than a tank and an open top turret. This was to allow then to have greater speed and maneuverability. Example; M18 Hellcat had a maximum of 1/2 inch of armor plate and could do over 50 mph on the road. Only the late model M36, the M36b2 had armor as it was a M36 turret mounted on a M4A3 Sherman hull.

Over 1,400 were available before Germany surrendered. The M26 Pershing first combat was 25 February. The M26 had a serious propensity to breakdowns. Broken down Tanks don’t contribute to combat. When the M36 was send to Korea it broke down so often it was quickly replaced by the reliable M4E8 Sherman.

But Hellcat was far deadlier. And, if war lasted longer, super hellcat was prepared (but war ended and never saw the light of the day. Upgrades were 90mm turret, shooting stabilizer so it can shoot while driving, and new Ford motor that was supposed to replace Continental. More horsepower would give him speed of 60 mph). Hellcat was master of shoot and run, had torsion suspension with superior manouverability over any of those there, and speed of 55 mph. He also always used armor piercing rounds which made him extreme deadly up to 2.5km, which was for those times, amazing numbers.

The dust cloud on the M36 wasn't from the exhaust, while the exhaust does exit out in the same area, the radial engines are air cooled and the ducts for the air that the engine has pulled through are pointed a little down causing the dust cloud, and yes, they did kick up a lot of dust back then. Iirc, they made a couple of mods to adjust the air blasts further up to keep that from happening as bad.

Cool video Dakota Wood! The Stuart tank might also have a Guiberson diesel in it. It was a radial diesel engine option that was available in the M3 tanks. The twin Cadillac engines came later with the M5's. The dust blown up by the M36 is from the exhaust being pointed downward. Exhaust pipes are like megaphones. If you point them up, it like cupping your hands around your mouth and yelling, "HERE I COME!". By pointing the exhaust downward, its actually harder to hear the tank coming from a distance. The exhaust note is not only covered by the body of the tank, the audio signal is also reflected off the ground, taking the hard edge off the initial "Pop" of the exhaust note, giving it an overall mellower sound. That's why they do that with some cars, too.

Because the Sherman could be, and was produced, shipped, and distrubuted in large numbers, it was the better tank. A hundred Shermans on the battlefield are way better than zero Tigers. Brits/US could field 5,000 Shermans, from Denmark to the Mediterranean. Against 500 Tigers and Panthers. Shermans could literally drive around them by tens of miles away. As German lost experienced tank crews, and experienced mechanics, Tigers/Panthers potential abilities were less and less able to be used, or even show up on the battlefield. A Sherman were able to do 4,000 combat road miles. Fire 4,000 rounds. Tigers were lucky to live 1/10th the miles or rounds. Shermans provided infantry support 1,000 times more than Tigers. Allied infantry had way better chance with plentiful Shermans.
