The M44 is an American tier 6 self-propelled gun.
A 155 mm SPG on the chassis of the M41 light tank. The vehicle saw action in the Korean War. In the early 1960s, improved SPGs of this type with rotating turrets were introduced, and the M44 was removed from service. According to different sources, between 250 and 600 vehicles were manufactured from 1953 through 1954.
The M44 leads to the M12.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Fast aimtime
- Cheap shells
- Very wide gun arc, larger than both the M37 and the GW Panther
- Better traverse speed than the M41
- Good top speed
Cons:
- Horrible accuracy
- Slow acceleration
- Less adaptability to TD mode like the M41
- Tall silhouette
Performance
The M44 is like a combined M37 and M41. The gun arc is very wide and can cover large areas of the map without having to turn the hull and reset the camo net. The gun is also hard-hitting and can hurt many high tier enemies. However, unlike the M37 and M41, the M44 is very tall and the armor doesn't help and takes full damage. Stay hidden always and use a camo net.
Early Research
- None of the available upgrades are researched and carry over from the M41.
- Research the M45 Howitzer 2nd gun first. It is lighter than stock gun so no need for tracks first.
- Tier-10 Radio next.
- Suspension last.
Alternatively, research the suspension first, as you cannot mount the camouflage net without the upgraded suspension. This will allow for increased survivability, while you are researching the other upgrades.
