The M36 tank destroyer also had a 90mm gun on it. They were quite effective against German tanks. Unfortunately the tank during WWII was an infantry support vehicle. The Tank Destroyer Units were supposed to do after the tanks. Both the Germans and the British learned early in the war that the best thing to fight a tank was a superior tank. It took us a while to figure it out.

Even with it's faults, the King Tiger is impressive.
