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".

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 |

| Turret | 31.75 mm (2-53°) Turret front 76.2 mm (cylindrical) Gun mantlet |

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.

Notes:
- Shells in racks 1, 2, 7 and 8 are modeled individually and disappear after having been shot or loaded.
- Shells in racks 3 to 6 are modeled by sets of 2 and disappear after both shells in the set having been shot or loaded.
- Racks 7 and 8 are first stage ammo racks. They total 11 shells and gets filled first when loading up the tank.
- These racks are also emptied early: the rack depletion order at full capacity is: 7 - 8 - 1 - 2 - etc. until 6.
- Simply not firing when the gun is loaded will move ammo from racks 1-6 into racks 8 then 7. Firing will interrupt the restocking of the ready racks.
- If you pack 20 (+44) shells, it will keep most of the hull empty of ammo.

Pros and cons
Pros:
- Hard-hitting 90 mm gun, the same one as the M46 Patton
- HEATFS can take on any target, even frontally

- Angling can bounce some lower tier shots

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