| rdfs:comment | - In Battlefield 1942, the M10 is the heavy tank of the United States Army and the British Army. It has space for one player, who drives the vehicle and controls a powerful main cannon with 30 rounds in reserve and a co-axial machine gun with 400 rounds in reserve. Its shell has a noticeable arc at long range; compensation must be made by leading the target and aiming high to ensure a hit. The armor is strong enough to survive two directly impacted bombs.
- The M10 Wolverine was a tank destoryer used by the US Army, Commonwealth forces and Soviet Union in WWII. It's main gun as a 3" (76.2 mm) cannon with an additional .50 caliber machinegun mounted on top of the turret. Although the M10 had thinner turret armor than the M4 Sherman tank and has poor crew protection, the M10 had a more powerful gun and was more maneuverable. Its weaker defense make the M10 an easy target for Panzerfaust, Panzerschrek, Pak 36 AT gun, or even Flak 36 88mm AT/AA gun. Unlike other tank destroyers in WWII (like the Stug III), the M10 had a turret that could be rotated 360 degrees, like another US tank destoyer, the M18 Hellcat.

Unlike other tank destroyers in WWII (like the Stug III), the M10 had a turret that could be rotated 360 degrees, like another US tank destoyer, the M18 Hellcat. The M10 is first encounterd in Brothers in Arms: Earned in Blood in the mission "Run of the Mill", later in "All Americans, Part 2", after you clear all the FlaK guns. As with the M4 Sherman and M3 Stuart, the player is able to use the .50 cal MG on top of the turret, this gives your squad a better suppression capability because M10 only has a 76.2mm gun and no coaxial machine gun or machine gun mounted at the front of the chassis. In EiB, the M10 can be easily destroyed by enemy Flak 36 guns and portable anti-tank weapons, the open turret compartment also exposes the vehicle's crew to enemy fire, therefore the crews can be killed before the tank was destroyed, use extreme caution when operating in confined areas. Also, in mission "Run of the Mill", be careful while the M10 is in wide open, usually there will be Flak 36 guns around, the gun has a pretty nasty range and will sometimes fire before you see it, so use tactical map to avoid this unpleasant surprise. The lack of coaxial or chassis machine gun make the M10 unsuitable against enemy infantry, you can, however command the M2HB .50 Cal machine gun on the top to increase the firepower of the tank. The main cannon is more powerful than the one found in M4A3 Sherman, it can use to suppress infantry squads, even without extra machineguns. Despite being a tank destroyer, the level you have the chance to use M10 has no tank for it to fight, plus you will encounter a lot of AT emplacements, so command it carefully.
- In Battlefield 1942, the M10 is the heavy tank of the United States Army and the British Army. It has space for one player, who drives the vehicle and controls a powerful main cannon with 30 rounds in reserve and a co-axial machine gun with 400 rounds in reserve. The tank acts as a tank destroyer as its main gun can destroy Scout Cars and APCs in one shot regardless of where it hits. Medium tanks take two shots, or one shot in the rear, making flanking with it devastating against medium tanks. Heavy tanks take three to two shots. The machine gun is great for killing infantry and softening aircraft. The main gun is useful for vehicles, but also serves purpose in flushing out or killing entrenched infantry. Other tanks and Anti-Tank units may provide sufficient backup as needed against other tanks. Its shell has a noticeable arc at long range; compensation must be made by leading the target and aiming high to ensure a hit. The armor is strong enough to survive two directly impacted bombs.
