The Achilles is a British tier 6 tank destroyer.
The Achilles was a British variant of the American M10 GMC tank destroyer. Standard M10 gun was replaced by a more powerful British anti-tank Ordnance Quick-Firing 17-pounder gun. That allowed the tank destroyer to effectively battle against the German vehicles. In 1944 the re-equipping of the tank destroyer was launched, with a total of 1,100 vehicles re-equipped by the end of the war.
The Achilles leads to the Challenger.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Superior stock gun compared to the American 3-inch AT Gun M7
- Superb accuracy
- Decent mobility
- Good view range
Cons:
- Slow turret traverse
- Low alpha damage
- Poor gun depression despite the open turret
- Thin armor and large target
- Stock grind is awful
Performance
The Achilles plays similarly to an uptiered M10 Wolverine. Absolutely dreadful when stock, you will have problems penetrating even certain medium tanks, let alone heavy tanks - the good gun depression does not help much either. Unless your opponent's team is full of lightly armoured tanks, you will struggle to make any impact in a match - use your mobility and view range to take a more passive scouting role, and pounce on injured tanks to finish them off or take opportunistic shots when possible.
However, with the 17-pounder you have a fighting chance to penetrate all but the heaviest tier 8 tanks, despite the inferior gun depression. Although it has high DPM, the low alpha means that you will have to expose your tank for long periods of time to get the gun working. Because of its horrible armor, most hits you receive will penetrate you, and artillery is especially deadly. With an accuracy of 0.33 and an aim time of 1.9 sec, the gun is good at delivering damage at range, which will reduce your chances of being hit, allowing you to make use of your DPM.
Early Research
- If you're playing AT line and reach at least the AT8, the 17 pounder mk.VII, top engine, and top radio are unlocked since it shared the same modules, The top gun and radio are also shared with the Archer. However, the top gun requires upgraded turret to be mounted.
- The tracks are not required to mount the top gun and turret if you are using the upgraded engine, and can be saved for later
- First, research the engine as it is lighter, increasing your mobility
- Next, research the upgraded turret and gun (in case if you didn't playing the turretless line).
- Last, research the tracks

Historical Info
With the power to tear through Tiger I and Panther front armor from 1km, the M10 IIC quickly earned the trust of anti-tank units such as those of the 21st Army Group, and also on the Italian front. One prominent example of its ability was provided by the M10 IIC Battery of the 62nd Anti-Tank Regiment, which shook off a counter from Panthers and Panzer IVs to destroy 13 German tanks in fighting around Caen in the aftermath of the July 1944 Normandy landings. The M10 IIC was also deployed by Canadian and Polish units, and served into the 1950s.
