T78: Two Tanks in One Makes for a Mean Machine

Commanders!

Great speed and impressive firepower are formidable attributes for any tank destroyer. And frankly, who doesn't like the best of both worlds? This versatile American combines the chassis of the T24 light tank and the powerful 90 mm gun from the M36 Jackson.

That's right, the VI T78 combines the best of two great tanks to make one mean machine. The U.S. Army requested the development of this fresh destroyer during the Second World War, but sadly not one T78 ever left the factory doors.

Thankfully, this Tier VI beauty has graced the virtual world and is ready to roll into thrilling World of Tanks battles. The good concealment, well-balanced gun, and hefty punch make it a fantastic mobile hunter. If caught in a tight spot, it can fight back with a solid rate of fire, or flee the scene and make use of its good power-to-weight ratio and swift top speed of 55 km/h.
