Description
The M1128 is a rank VII American tank destroyer
with a battle rating of 9.7 (AB) and 10.3 (RB/SB). It was introduced in Update "New Power".
General info
Survivability and armour
Describe armour protection. Note the most well protected and key weak areas. Appreciate the layout of modules as well as the number and location of crew members. Is the level of armour protection sufficient, is the placement of modules helpful for survival in combat? If necessary use a visual template to indicate the most secure and weak zones of the armour.
| Armour | Front (Slope angle) | Sides | Rear | Roof |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hull | ___ mm | ___ mm Top ___ mm Bottom |
___ mm | ___ - ___ mm |
| Turret | ___ - ___ mm Turret front ___ mm Gun mantlet |
___ - ___ mm | ___ - ___ mm | ___ - ___ mm |
| Cupola | ___ mm | ___ mm | ___ mm | ___ mm |
Notes:
Mobility
Write about the mobility of the ground vehicle. Estimate the specific power and manoeuvrability, as well as the maximum speed forwards and backwards.

Armaments
Main armament
Give the reader information about the characteristics of the main gun. Assess its effectiveness in a battle based on the reloading speed, ballistics and the power of shells. Do not forget about the flexibility of the fire, that is how quickly the cannon can be aimed at the target, open fire on it and aim at another enemy. Add a link to the main article on the gun: {{main|Name of the weapon}}. Describe in general terms the ammunition available for the main gun. Give advice on how to use them and how to fill the ammunition storage.

Machine guns
Offensive and anti-aircraft machine guns not only allow you to fight some aircraft but also are effective against lightly armoured vehicles. Evaluate machine guns and give recommendations on its use.

Usage in battles
Describe the tactics of playing in the vehicle, the features of using vehicles in the team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view but instead give the reader food for thought. Describe the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).

Pros and cons
Pros:
- High resolution thermal gunner and commander optics, as well as low resolution driver thermal optics.
- Has access to the M900 high penetration APFSDS round when spaded.
- Autoloader allows a 7.5 second reload no matter the amount of crew members left or their health.
- Can put another shell in the autoloader in only 6 seconds; it is not effected by crew skill.
- High turret traverse speed (60°/sec with an ace crew) allows great reactionary ability.
- Unmanned turret can protect the crew from harm thanks to their location in the hull.
- Can fire smoke grenades three times, four grenades each time (total of 12 smoke grenades).
- .50 caliber machine gun can be used against low-flying aerial targets and lightly armored ground vehicles.
Cons:
- 7.5 second reload is longer than for many vehicles with a 105 mm gun and human loader when they have full crew loading skill.
- Can only carry 18 rounds of ammunition, which may not always be enough.
- Thin armor can only protect against machine gun rounds; it is not able to protect against autocannons.
- It has a very large profile, making it an easy target. It is also vulnerable to hull break.
- Horsepower to ton ratio of ~15 hp/t results in low acceleration.
- Can not neutral steer and the off-road mobility is poor because of the wheeled design.
History
Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the vehicle in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
See also
Links to the articles on the War Thunder Wiki that you think will be useful for the reader, for example:
- reference to the series of the vehicles;
- links to approximate analogues of other nations and research trees.
External links
Paste links to sources and external resources, such as:
- topic on the official game forum;
- other literature.
