General information

In 1948, the Republic of China's party, Kuomintang, ordered the Armoured Forces Command to acquire abandoned military surplus specially from the Pacific theatre. A total of 34 M10 TDs were purchased from the US, which at the time was trying to dispose as much military surplus as possible. The vehicles never saw combat in mainland China, instead they were evacuated to Taiwan. In 1949, with the new government established in Taiwan, the vehicles received several modifications, some of which included the installation of a Japanese Type 91 105 mm howitzer, effectively transforming the vehicle into a self-propelled artillery piece. At the end, the vehicles were retired from said role, with the introduction of the more specialized M7 Priest in 1955-1957.

It was introduced in Update 1.91 "Night Vision". This Chinese vehicle is identical to the US M10 GMC, however it does not have access to the Add-on Armor modification. It is armed with a very powerful gun for its BR, but that comes with some downsides, mainly mobility and survivability. The turret has an extremely poor traverse, and the survivability against HE projectiles or artillery is not ideal, since it is open top. It should be played as a tank destroyer, waiting around corners and in defensive positions.
