Скачать или смотреть Fast but Flawed: Did the M18 Hellcat Live Up to the Hype?

The M18 Hellcat- the fastest tracked armored vehicle of World War II—was built for speed.

Designed to outrun and outmaneuver its enemies, this American tank-destroyer blazed across battlefields at an unprecedented 50 miles per hour.

But did that speed make it a game-changer or did it come at too great a cost?

With armor so thin, it could barely stop machine-gun fire and a gun that struggled against late-war German tanks, the Hellcat was a high-risk high-reward weapon.

Some units outright refused to use it while others—like Patton’s fast-moving 3rd Army—embraced it.

In this video, we’re diving into the reality of the M18 Hellcat—its strengths, its weaknesses and whether its reputation as a fast and deadly tank destroyer is truly deserved.
