# 90mm GMC Super Hellcat

Role
: Tank Destroyer

## [General information](/md/rv/vehicles/90mm-gmc-super-hellcat.md#general-information)

Description
: The **90mm GMC Super Hellcat** is a Tank Destroyer and an upgunned variant of the [M18 Hellcat](/md/rv/vehicles/m18-hellcat.md), mounting the same **90mm M3** cannon used on the [M26 Pershing](/md/rv/vehicles/m26-pershing.md) in place of the standard 76 mm gun. The change gave the lightweight chassis much greater anti-armour punch at the cost of added weight and slightly lower power-to-weight. Operated by a crew of five on a tracked hull weighing 22 tonnes, it retains the **Continental R975-C4** engine at 460 horsepower for 20.9 hp/t and a top speed of 80 km/h.
The **90mm M3** is served by 4x and 8x telescope sights without a rangefinder; the commander has a stabilized **12.7mm M2** for anti-aircraft use. The Super Hellcat combines the Hellcat’s mobility with heavy-tank-level firepower in a light, fast package.
