The T18 is a worthy representative of second tier Tank Destroyers, despite having been developed on the chassis of the M3 “Stuart”. First of all, T18 is a closed-type Tank Destroyer and its armor plating makes it a really hard nut to crack. But, as always, there is an opposite side of the coin: the weight of the armor plating affects the speed and maneuverability of this tank considerably. The choice of mounted weapon is also an important factor in deciding what tactics to use in battles. Research along the T18 tree leads to the Tier 3 T82 Tank-Destroyer.

Historical Info
The T18 was originally designed as a self-propelled gun for supporting infantry. It was armed with a 75-mm Howitzer installed in a spacious, fully enclosed armored hull. The development was started in October 1941 and finished in May 1942. The project was abandoned due to the emergence of the more advanced M8.
