?The M37 is an [[USA|American]] tier 3 [[Self Propelled Guns|self propelled gun]]. The tank is a [[Self Propelled Guns|self propelled gun]] conversion of the [[M24 Chaffee]]. Unfortunately, the extra weight means it retains little of the original vehicle's maneuverability. The initial acceleration and hull traverse rate are very poor, and [[Suspension|suspension]] should be the first upgrade since it can't mount the upgraded [[Gun|gun]] without increasing the weight limit. Upgrading the [[Gun|gun]] will allow you to fire almost across the map, and upgrading the [[Engine|engine]] improves acceleration. Despite the tank's flaws, both 105mm guns hit very hard for their tier and allow the M37 to punch above it's weight in heavier battles. +
?:The M37 leads to the [[M7 Priest]].+

?The 105mm HMC M37 was based on a lengthened chassis of the M24 Chaffee light tank, and the vehicle was modified much the same way as the 105mm HMC M7, which used the medium tank M3 or M4 chassis. The M4 105mm howitzer was the same as that used in the howitzer-armed Shermans, and was mounted on the M37 to the right of the carriage's centerline, replacing the assistant driver's position. The .50cal machine gun ring mount was to the right of the howitzer mount.+
