The conclusion made by the US Field Artillery command was that the tank was simply too crowded to function properly, even with just two crew members manning the HMC. The position of the gun in the middle of the crew compartment made the interior very cramped and impossible for the crew to offer support in combat. The Armored Force division examined the rejected prototype, hoping to press it into service as an assault gun; Along with the Field Artillery, they spurned it for the same reasons as before. Despite the failure of the design, data gathered from testing was useful in the development of the T18 HMC, although the new design was also regarded as unsuccessful. | The conclusion made by the US Field Artillery command was that the tank was simply too crowded to function properly, even with just two crew members manning the HMC.
