- With efforts beginning in 1940 to mount an anti-tank gun on a suitable vehicle chassis, trial and error through prototypes led to the final production of the M10 3 in. Gun Motor Carriage which started rolling off the line in late 1942. About 5000 were made and it saw service through to the end of the war in Europe and saw limited success in the Pacific theater. Through the US lend-lease program, Britain, the Red Army, and Free French Army also received and employed the M10. It saw service with Egypt post-WWII and with Israel as well.
Weighing in at nearly 30 tons, it was manned by a crew of 4. Powered by a GM 6046 375 hp diesel engine, it could reach a top speed of 32 mph (51 kph) and had a range of 186 miles (300 km). It was armed with a 3 in (76.2mm) M7 main cannon and a Browning M2HB .50 cal machine gun.
There isn't any recorded evidence of either US or British armies having called the M10 by 'Wolverine' during WWII, but it became widely known with this moniker from the 1970's on.
This vehicle resides in the workshop at the National Armor and Cavalry Collection at Ft. Benning, GA. Connect with NACC here: / nationalarmorandcavalr... - Ігри
The M-10 is my favorite WW-2 US armor vehicles, I think it’s because of Audie Murphy.
Great video and closeups! Thanks for sharing! I finished the Tamiya mid-production model of the M10 a month or so ago. Wish I’d had this video then!
Great job on the video, the vehicle is an interesting piece there, and I totally dig it, you showed it right down to the nuts and bolts.
I was blessed with driving and crewing this very M10 numerous times. It always started and ran like a champ.
Awesome! Always liked the look of the M10!
Outstanding video as always. Thank you!
I really admire the extended video panning of the turret and chassis details. Bravo 👏
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice walk around. Thanks
I'm reminded of the Dinochrome Brigade. Silently slumbering in their depot, waiting for the next call to arms.
For the honor of the regiment!
These videos make me tingle.
Do they happen to have an M36 tank destroyer there also?
I love the little green 36 ford tail light on the tank! I bet no one else caught that huh?
Not the same tail light. That unit was standard on US vehicles during he war , eventually being replaced after Korea (a matching blackout driving version goes on the passenger side). Guide was the main manufacturer, but there were a couple others.
@@Espeemodeler ok mr vintage tail light scientist thanks for the info there you who
Beautiful vehicle.
Great walk around, liked the mis-matched green.
Great video walkabout! I'm building a model of both m10s the normal and Achillies and seeing that front transmission cover is great! It's how raised the actual bolt runner is to the main superstructure that's kinda surprised me there! Looks like a little modification will need done here!
Nice video
Sofilein. You have a great screen presence!!!. You proved that with the Chieftain. Why not do the same with your vids. Best of Luck
You have great taste in music
Thanks! I try to find something which is audibly engaging but also captures the spirit of the vehicle. Sometimes it’s bit of a challenge!
sherman firefly tank is my favorite
My favorite American WW2 AFV.
It's so distinct, isn't it? I love it, too.
I wonder how it would look with torsion bar suspension and track extenders? They were vulnerable to potato mashers thrown from second floor windows into the open topped turrets. Later in the war many were modified with sheet metal roof to prevent that.
are you going to do one of these videos featuring the mighty Jagdtiger?
My grandfather was a loader in one these during the war, does this one run?
The mighty M10. Though I prefer M37 Jackson.
LOVe the TD's ! In the game of Cat and Mouse , the TD's are the Cats . The Hunters .
Ahh always nice to see a upload of my fav chanel and what a nice tank destroyer too but I heard there is a place where you can drive real ww2 tanks in the US so why don't you go there and see for your selfs😏👍👏👏👏
If you love tank soo much try game the name war thunder that game is soo realistic. And cool of grafik
Edit:btw i love your video i love tanks too ❤
Awwwwww
Gotta love these players in WT who cannot use it, and that you can take them out with your Marder 3 H in one hit :D
Nice tank destroyer design btw. It looks like a futuristic design compared to a sherman (shape).
Gotta love people who talk about a video game like it has anything to do with real life.
I like the looks of the M10, do anyone know how the lend/lease users found it ? did they like it or was it used in lack of other alternatives ? and what did American troops Think of it ?
I mean it got nice speed and a good gun and a heap of mgs, but did it work well ?
The UK replaced the 3inch gun with the 17 pounder and called it Achilles. Can't comment on the usage but it was a better option than the Archer it replaced.
Thanks, i mostly find info on the Sherman would be fun to read some more about the M10, ill serch on Achilles and see what i find then.@@daniel_scholefield
Wolverines!!
One of the best US tanks
it's not a tank
@@davidferrara1105 💀you didn’t say that
First. Cool tank yo
What if there was a Panther/M10 next to it?
I love one shooting it in WT
Climb up on and give a interior visual !!!!
It wouldn't hurt to show some info about the vehicle... Armor, speed, price per unit... But still, great video.
You find some of that info in the video description.
@@edirt SORRY! HOW SILLY OF ME! I didn't saw it...Thank u!
Fastest AFV until the M1 Abrams
The hellcat had it beat. Get facts straight. Plus armored cars are afv and faster.
@@wtfrancke dude...the m10 was the hellcat.
The M18 was the hellcat totally different vehicle, look it up. Only takes a minute.
@@wtfrancke My bad! Misread the numeric! Need a bigger screen, new glasses, or both
@@mitchellsmith4690 old age does that to us all. 😆🤣😂😹
No No no tell about this tanks from ww2 the M 10 ,,,Don't sho us tell about this tanks man .🇺🇸.
You should make an appearance. I'm not asking you to writhe around in a bikini or anything, though that would get you views, just introduce it and give a few facts.
Tanks are cool but I always felt like they were rollin coffins. The M10 was what my grandpa was on in WW2. He was the crew chief engineer. He went to get parts for his tank somewhere in France and his tank was hit by a German (possibly American friendly fire) attack plane killed his whole crew in front of his eyes. When i went into the military he told me NEVER be on tanks! Probably a good idea. Im glad to see the Marine Corps is gettin rid of them. Easy targets... Especially when you go against a real enemy like the Germans. They were NO JOKE!
Second
And the t34 gets all the credit for using sloped armor. Smh
Poor pretty much EVERY tank to exist before T-34 who all had sloping armour. Nobody remembers those.
James Valentine I agree, but this video isn’t about those tanks now is it.
@@publiusscipio5697 I wasn't the one who bought up the T-34 XD
Third
you should say something about the vehicle its a little boring
You get the opportunity to get into these museums, and to show these amazing vehicles close up and personal. And then you waste it on simple hand-camera-paning and annoyingly loud irritating action music? Learn to direct and edit filming! It would be so much better to have you in picture, talking about what we are seeing. Or at least hear you talking. Share your expertise. We need a break from all these old farts talking about military vehicles, bring in the young, and the women (I love those old farts, don't get me wrong). And having cuts, and using the camera like a camera, not a Go-Pro. Learn from Chieftain, or The Tank Museum.
Wolverine .... outdated at arrival, too vulnerable ... just a single 8.8 and the last and the first tank will be stopped. Happened in Paderborn
typxxilps ? Ok, so by that same logic the t34 was outdated and too vulnerable. A single 8.8 and that would cook too. Almost every tank would, that’s not the best thing to cite for a vehicle’s effectiveness.
If what you mean is that I could go through multiple vehicles then maybe, but also don’t forget that the m10 was a tank destroyer not a “main battle tank” (though yes I know they didn’t use the term yet) so it wasn’t expected to be used in the same capacity as a Sherman, t34, or Cromwell. Also isn’t it funny how it’s replacement had even less armor, so the ordinance department, and the general in charge of the tank destroyer branch would seem to disagree with the fact that the td couldn’t stop a 88mm as making the vehicle outdated or too vulnerable.
If armor designed against small armd makes something outdated in your definitions, you obviously don't know shit about IRL combat doctrines or practice and should go back to school before making ignorant shitposts about vehicle designs you have nothing but game-based delusions about.
Once spotted any tank takes out an 88 mm position. It was not too hard to spot because of the high profile. TD's live on by APC's and Combat vehicles mounting AT Systems. I know the M113 APC you find a position before you engage anything CCC Cover Concealment and Camouflage I imagine the same goes for WW 2 TD's.
Waste of time, cheesy music, no voice over describing vehicle use or dynamics, battle stats, length of service, armament or weapon info etc, etc.
If you want stats and details google it or even buy a reference book.Good upload for model makers.
It's a walk around. Not an analysis. Read the title before bitching.
Try google. Sometimes nice music and an abundance of high quality close in video showing details is better than some talking head.
Don't put Sofilein down, she probably knows more about armor than you, plus she's cute as hell and smart.
