After U.S. entered World War II and the formation of the Tank Destroyer Force, a suitable vehicle was needed to equip the new battalions. By November 1941, the Army requested a vehicle with a gun in a fully rotating turret as other interim models were criticized for being too poorly designed. The prototype of the M10 tank destroyer (TD) was conceived in early 1942 and delivered in April that year. The M10 was numerically the most important U.S. tank destroyer of World War II. It combined thin but sloped armor with the M4s reliable drivetrain and a reasonably potent anti-tank gun mounted in an open-topped turret. Despite its obsolescence in the face of newer German tanks like the Panther and the introduction of more powerful and better-designed TDs as replacements, the M10 remained in service until the end of the war. |
