Historical Context:

The M18 Hellcat was the fastest tracked armored vehicle of World War II, capable of speeds up to 55 mph. Designed for the tank destroyer doctrine of "seek, strike, and destroy," the M18 combined exceptional mobility with the firepower of the 76mm gun. Its lightweight construction and powerful engine allowed it to outmaneuver German armor, making it highly effective in ambush tactics. Over 2,500 were produced, serving with distinction in Northwest Europe and the Pacific.
