Most people remember World War Two armor as a story of famous tanks; Shermans, Tigers, T-34's —machines that became symbols.
The American tank-destroyers were different. They were built less for symbolism and more for trading efficiently in the moments when enemy armor threatened to seize the initiative.
A tank-destroyer battalion was meant to be moved like a weapon: held back, rushed forward, set into a killing position, and then shifted again before the enemy could respond with concentrated fire.
That style had a name—shoot and scoot—and it required a vehicle that could treat relocation as a habit rather than a gamble.
The M18 Hellcat did exactly that, and by the end of the war it carried a reputation for the best kill-to-loss efficiency of any U.S. tank destroyer, even while it stayed out of the spotlight.
