Awesome vid, this was in related videos.

The M10 thing made me laugh like crazy.

"The new M10 Tank Eradicator!"

"The Tiger is extinct in Africa!"

"A traversing wheel even your sister could operate!"

"Every man in a TD is a happy man!"

I posted it before I was done watching it, and you picked out all the golden lines in it that made me laugh. I couldn't help but think how many M10s id have to throw at a tiger to take it out, makes me think about how funny it would be to make a "EiR reality" where you have EiR footage of M10s against a tiger with the youtube commentary running in the back.

Second video is pretty intense. Sick thing about it is that today, we have cell phones that can record better video.

I know an m10 destroyed a king tiger, so it's not unlikely that one could kill a tiger.

Actually, the M10 was designed to kill Panzer 4s in Africa.
In a head on charge, it was even with a Panther regarding range and damage (actually, one hit could destroy both tanks if it didn't bounced of the front armor).
It was faster and more agile than german tanks, what was neccecary because of its shorter range.
Though after several months of fighting, it became clear the M10 stood no chance against a Tiger because it only had about 1km of range, compared to the nearly 3 of the 88mm PAK of the Tiger.
For the invasion in normandy and to fight against Tigers the Allies developed the M36 Jackson, basically an M10 with a 90mm cannon and heavily fortified front Armor.
Would like to see that unit in vanilla CoH^^.
