"What is of greatest importance in war is extraordinary speed; One cannot afford to neglect opportunity."
- – Sun Tzu
The GMC M18 Tank 76mm Gun Motor Carriage, known much more famously (and awesomer) as the M18 Hellcat was a late war tank destroyer used by the Allies during WW2 and perhaps was the fastest tank destroyer of the conflict in the US arsenal. It performed successfully against most enemy armor it encountered with a 2.3 to 1 ratio of kills obtaining more than 500 in it's wartime service. The M18 owes all this to it's speed, it was the fastest armoured vehicle on treads in the United States armored corps and was able to flank and outmaneuver many of it's opponents. Like many things in life, it's speed came at a cost, it's armor was just enough to stop most small arms fire, but any higher would punch right through.
