+ | At its battle rating, the {{PAGENAME}}'s chassis is quite weak, being unable to survive most shots by other tanks. As with all M4A3: the sides are even more vulnerable, their high profile makes them a large target as well. The lightly armoured turret is often vulnerable to ammo rack detonations, with its first stage ammo being stored in the rear of the turret. The {{PAGENAME}} is also an open top, exposing it to aircraft that can easily rip and tear apart the tank. | ||

This page is about the American tank destroyer M36B1. For other uses, see M36 Jackson (Family). |
Contents
Description
The Cannone da 90/50 Semovente M36B1 (shortened to M36B1) is a rank IV Italian tank destroyer with a battle rating of 5.7 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced in Update 1.85 "Supersonic".
General info
Survivability and armour
Armour type:
- Rolled homogeneous armour (hull)
- Cast homogeneous armour (turret, gun mantlet, transmission housing)
Armour | Front (Slope angle) | Sides | Rear | Roof |
---|---|---|---|---|
Hull | 63.5 mm (47°) Front glacis 63.5 mm (47°) + 25.4 (spherical) MG port 63.5-107.9 mm (13-77°) Transmission housing |
38.1 mm | 38.1 mm (22°) Upper plate 38.1 mm (13°) Lower plate 38.1 mm (44°) Lower glacis |
19.5 mm 5 mm Radiator vents |
Turret | 31.75 mm (2-53°) Turret front 76.2 mm (cylindrical) Gun mantlet |
31.75 mm (18-27°) 25.4 (cylindrical) Bustle |
25.4 mm (2-23°) Bustle 31.75 mm (spherical) Turret underside |
N/A 25.4 mm Bustle |
Notes:
- Suspension wheels are 15 mm thick while bogies are 10 mm thick and tracks are 20 mm thick.
- The belly of the tank destroyer is 25.4 mm thick.
At its battle rating, the M36B1's chassis is quite weak, being unable to survive most shots by other tanks. As with all M4A3: the sides are even more vulnerable, their high profile makes them a large target as well. The lightly armoured turret is often vulnerable to ammo rack detonations, with its first stage ammo being stored in the rear of the turret. The M36B1 is also an open top, exposing it to aircraft that can easily rip and tear apart the tank.

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.

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.
