Is there a point to the M10 tank destroyer?

[CODGUY]

I'm just curious what the point of this unit is. It seems like its supposed to be a cheap call in anti-armor unit that's readily available except that its not availavle until 8 CP and by then you should be getting Shermans with Jacksons on the way.

Have fun using Jacksons against heavy TDs like the Ele and Jagdtiger.

M10s are the cost efficient answer to these, as well as heavy StuG use.

Try the penetration bulletins for M10. They make them actually very good

M10 also packs more health than the M36, for balance reason.

M10 is actually awesome. Get it to Vet 2. See it has a turbo option now :) WHEEEE

i see that commander as using the sherman morter tanks for blobs and when a p4 comes your way the m10 will force it off protecting the sherman.

Until the P5 arrives and wrecks everything. Not a commander I would choose.

1. It's fast
2. It has speed ability at vet 2
3. It can be spammed
4. It can run over infantry with it's sheer speed
5. It can be use instead of AT gun if you're on Defensive.

If enemy have heavy tank build. This unit will rekt them.

Be sure to have RE zooka snares. Great counter against Stugs & Flakpanzers.

Logic suggests that the P5 would at least have some infantry escort or even light armor nearby to help with the push, but we know that stuff isn't in ample supply around here these days.

The M10 Wolverine has almost the same firepower of the M36 Jackson, the only difference being less penetration. Jackson is good against every vehicle, but with the M10 you can leave the M36 to deal with the heaviest tanks (Elephant, Tiger, etc.) and hit every other tank -or flank- withe the Wolvie.

Lie. M10 has 560 HP, M36 Jackson has 640.

Another lie. M36 has 60 range, M10 TD has 50 range (5 less than Panther).
M10 is for fast in/out operations. Mobility is the key on that TD. Also, it sucks vs infantry so you need to use shermans as well.
