\nHISTORY ASPECTS:The M18 Hellcat is a tank destroyer that was used by the United States Army in World War II and the Korean War. It was the fastest U.S. armored fighting vehicle on the road. This speed was attained by keeping armor to a minimum using the innovative Torqmatic automatic transmission and by equipping the relatively light vehicle with the same main gun used on some variants of the much larger Sherman tank.Entering service in 1944 the M18 served primarily in Western Europe but was also present in the Pacific. M18 strength in the European Theatre of Operations varied from 136 in June 1944 to a high of 540 in March 1945. Losses totaled 216. Kills claimed were 526 in total: 498 in Europe 17
