The Hellcats Failed on the Battlefield*Warfare History Network* *Hellcat Tank, * The M18 Hellcat tank destroyer sacrificed armor protection for speed and firepower and ultimately came up short against the German tanks produced late in the war. In 1940, existing U.S. Army tactical doctrine called for a cordon of towed antitank guns to defend against an enemy tank attack, but army planners studying the Battle of France in May of that year realized that a tactical plan of that nature was outdated and likely would not thwart a large-scale armor attack. One of the principal concerns was that infantry lacking reliable ant... read more
