"A Step-Aheads" of U.S Infantry (1942-'45)

In World War II there were open terrain situations as much as street alley combats. For some authorities open terrain combats were way more difficult than the others because they required more strategical intelligence. Open terrain combats are well known with the synchronized artillery moves and shots. And this is the subject we are going to see and talk about the tanks the most. Tanks are way more useful in the open fields but we can see that they are used in the streets in the WW2 as well. There are many tanks can be mentioned for the U.S Army services but there are some special tanks which were a step ahead from the others when it comes to efficiency.

  • M18 Hellcat : One of the fastest tanks of the WWII fronts with its top speed (88 km/h). It was an essential tank for the U.S artilleries for a long time with its high manoeuvre skills. In addition to that, it had the highest kill-to-loss ratio among the all tanks serviced to the U.S Army.

• M4 Sherman : Another long-serviced tank of the U.S Army. Its the most negative characteristic was not being able to be effective as the enemy tanks despite being produced in huge numbers.
