General info

Survivability and armour

The lightly armoured turret is often vulnerable to having ammo rack detonations, with it's first stage ammo being stored in the rear of the turret. The M36B1 is also an open top, exposing it to aircraft the can easily rip and tear apart the tank.

Armour type:

  • Rolled homogeneous armour (Hull)
  • Cast homogeneous armour (Turret, Gun mantlet)
Armour Front (Slope angle) Sides Rear Roof
Hull ___ mm ___ mm Top

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:

  • Hard-hitting 90 mm gun, the same one as the M46 Patton
  • HEATFS can take on any target, even frontally
  • Good mobility overall
  • Angling can bounce some lower tier shots

Cons:

  • The armour on the Sherman chassis is pencil-thin for the rank
  • Open turret makes you vulnerable to strafing planes and artillery shells

History

The M36B1 is an variant of the M36 tank destroyer, mounted on the M4A3 chassis instead of M4A2 chassis. Some fell into the hands of the Italian Army after World War Two.

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
