Would this represent the end of the tracked tank destroyer? I knew there are wheeled tank destroyers, for example, the Italian Centauro.

The whitewalls are a nice touch.

When I was in the Balkans at the end of Yugoslavia civil war, I saw M35 and M36 tank destroyers, some destroyed, some still operating. I believe that they also had some M18’s in action, but I never saw one of those.

Tank destroyers can be very effective in an ambush mode, but are of limited use in on mobile mechanized battlefield. Their role has be supplanted by Anti tank guided missles, usually mounted on an infantry carrier.

They cannot stand up against artillery.

I never understood the line between tanks and tank destroyers. Most tank destroyers are lightly armored tanks with heavy guns. And then there are self-propelled anti-tank guns, like the WW2 Hetzer. Who decides the differentiation?
