M10 GMC USA DONT USE

[Krimson]

The M10 GMC is a tear 2 tank, power is 3.7. Its a Glass Canon, And it puts you with high lvl players, before u can even turn to aim your dead, so sit back and wait for them to get in your cross hair, 50/50 chance you hit them, IF they die you may live and your dead if they hit you anywhere, and then your stuck with power lvl 2.3 for you back up tanks. so forget it, your not going to dmg anyone after you lose that 1st tank.

[Silamon]

That sounds more like pilot error than a problem with the tank to me.
Yes it is a glass cannon, but it has quite a good gun. And if your only back ups are 2.3 you rushed into a tier you were not ready to start at. You probably should not go into battle with only one vehicle at your highest br. Wait until you have 2 or 3, along with a few tanks a little bit lower.

Edit: looking at the US tech tree, yeah I can see how you would fall into that trap. Don't play the M10 before you get to the 3.7 tanks like the M4s.

[halolo39]

sounds like a learn to play issue, M10 is not a frontline tank and it plays more like a reserve, you stay back and pick off the enemy tanks trying to kill your ally. the guns are very powerful for it's BR, you should have no problems killing 1.0 higer BR tanks and yes the turret rotation is severely lacking but a good ambush position and getting the first shot should be your strategy.

Clearly another baseless rant and L2P issue!!!

[Obamenau]

Its has one of the best guns at the tier and is pretty mobile.

Player error here

Strong mantlet - can reliably survive even higher-pen rounds
Strong gun - can reliably pen everything at it's BR bracket except maybe a perfectly angled KV-ZiS-5 or a Brummbar
Frontal armor with addon tracks has even bounced Pz. IV F2 rounds on occasion

Don't rush with it, manual turret traverse is bad in oh so many ways for close quarters. Stay back and you're going to have a good time pushing up behind other blues, and shooting over their should for supporting fire or from long range.

M10 is good, but you need to learn to build a lineup.

[Spectre]

The M10 and Achilles are both fantastic tanks, you need to L2P, scrubadoo

[Strange Bread]

I really like M10, perfectly destroys KV-1s, T-34s and all other tanks at this BR.

You won't even bounce on a Brummbär, just shoot the really angled plate above the lower plate. It might seem like a bad idea, but even a BT-5 can pen that.

Are you really talking ♥♥♥♥ about the M10?

First of all the armor is fairly decent for 3.7 TD, and at long range you can actually bounce some stuff if they hit the add-on tracks.

The gun was a big middle finger to anybody playing the KV-1 before the buff it got to the APCBC shell(which comes stock btw), now with 142mm of pen you are able to penetrate frontaly every tank until 5.7, and at 3.7 you must be a really poor shot if manage to bounce of something, plus it has 63 grams of HE filler and if the Pz IV F2 can one shot most things with like 27 grams you will rarely need more than one shell

Yea the turret travers is bad and it suffers in CQC but it's a tank destroyer, you are supposed to stay back and snipe people not go in the front line and duke it out with T-34s and KV-1s.

The only thing i can say is Git Gud.

When I started and got frustrated I asked plenty of questions as opposed to passing along baseless rants on things I new very little about,...... try it.

Basically this. Also, KV-1 drivers deserve all the middle fingers this game can muster. Especially the ones that are german players using the captured KV-1 variants.

Everybody complains that the Pz IV F2 is OP, this is the real beast right here. And this was before it was buffed to almost 150mm of penetration.

Came back to WT today after a 8 month hiatus ...i thought to myself....what BR do i have fun at?...US 3.7 of course! So i line up my tanks, jump into the M10( my favorite) and get into an RB battle. I gotta get used to playing again...clean up my act and start my Overwatching routine...

I noticed a capture point to my flank has faltered, and theres nobody left alive over there, so i reposition myself to prepare to hit the flanks of whatever comes down that way.

Out comes quickly a KV1 Zis-5 (a 4.3). Im lining up a perfect flanking shot at about 400m with probably 30 degrees of deflection... Aim center mass, round is shot... round lands just under the tracks, in the solid side between the tracks...No Pen. round disintigrated... and im dead shortly thereafter from previously mentioned KV1.

ahh yes, i remember WT now.

In short. probably a fluke, but the M10 is a good weapon as long as you learn its strengths and weaknesses. that kinda goes for any and every tank/vehicle in game.
