Useful only in a defensive role and then only from an ambush position. The M18 was the best tank destroyer of WWII, but got too late to the fight to make much of a difference. The whole tank destroyer concept died on VE Day, until we invented guided missiles that had a maximum range beyond that of tank main gun. When I was in the Balkans in 1994, I did not see any M18’s, but I saw plenty M36’s. They served for a long time, even though no longer thought to be useful.
