Default M36B1 Tank Destroyer

M36B1 Tank Destroyer:

Due to a high need for 90mm guns in the ETO; 187 M4A3 Medium tanks were converted by Fisher to have the M36 turret instead. Despite having a higher silhoulette; these were the most heavily armored tank destroyers the US deployed in WWII; and the only ones with a bow machine gun.
