For one, the Comet is a tank and the M-18 Hellcat is a tank destroyer, not a tank... there is a difference.

The Comet was a British tank, the M-18 an American model.

The Comet has a larger gun, caliber wise, only by one millimeter, however, but with a much greater muzzle velocity.

The M-18 was made by Buick, and was the fastest tracked vehicle in WWII. The Hellcat used torsion bar suspension while the Comet had the Christie type. The Comet had a speed limiter to prevent it being driven above 32 mph (otherwise 40 mph would have been possible) to reduce wear on the running gear.

The Comet tank was well protected with thick armour. The Hellcat tank destroyer, like other tank destroyers, had thinner armour and relied on speed.

What was the fastest tank of World War 2?

m-18 hellcat, 88kmh Technically speaking, the M18 Hellcat was not a tank. It was a self-propelled anti-tank artillery piece, known commonly if somewat incorrectly as a tank destroyer. Whatever its speed, it had armor resistant only to small arms and frags, but nothing more. And for the gun crew there was no armor except for their M1 steel helmets to protect against German shells bursting above them. The M3 Stuart is the fastest tank of World War that I know of, 58 kph. Yes, 30kph slower than above-claimed speed of the Hellcat, but the Stuart was a real tank, whereas the Hellcat was not.

Who will win f6f hellcat or a6m zero?

The A6M had the longest range (nearly 2,000 miles), so the Hellcat could run out of gas and crash into the sea if the pilot is inexperienced. That aside, Grumman designed the F6F specifically to kill the A6M Zero. The Hellcat had 6 fiftys and was built like a tank! It had the horse power and speed of an assassin. The Hellcat would kill the A6M, unless the Zero had a good pilot (like Sakai).


Did the m18 hellcat serve in D-Day?

By the time of the D-Day invasion on June 6, 1944, the Hellcat was not yet in service in Europe. The vehicle saw extensive action in the latter part of the war, particularly during the Battle of the Bulge and in the push into Germany.
