The M36 appeared at the end of World War II as a response to the emergence of heavy German tanks such as the Tiger and Panther. Armed with a powerful 90 mm gun, it performed excellently in numerous engagements, especially during the Battle of the Bulge, where it was a valuable support for armored units. The M36B2 is a development of the basic M36, modernized in terms of the powertrain and structural elements. Both versions earned recognition for their effectiveness in combating enemy armored vehicles and were used for many years in various armies, even after World War II.
