ATG Effectiveness

[CptCav]

Al,

The M10 carried a 3" gun as well. So, as far as guns were concerned, the towed battalions used the same gun as the M10 equiped SP tank destroyer battalions. The M18 (first deployed in July 1944) used a 76mm gun and the M36 (first deployed in October 1944) used a 90mm gun.

Quite correct. I should have more clearly stated that I was referring to towed ATG's - just in case there was any misunderstanding. :whis:

Q: What's the difference between 3 inches and 76mm?

A: 0.2 mm!

On a more serious note, what _is_ the difference between these guns?
