SD:Wolverine

 is a British Anti-tank unit, available from Phase B onwards. With more than 6000 vehicles built, it constituted the bulk of the mainstay US tank destroyer force in much of the war. The 3-inch M7 gun it used (based on an anti-aircraft gun) was found wanting against the new Panther tank and the Wolverine was replaced by the M18 Hellcat and the upgunned M36 tank destroyer near the end of the war.

The nickname 'Wolverine' was never actually used by troops. It is likely a postwar invention. American soldiers usually referred to it by the term 'TD'.

Strategy
The M10's gun is respectable, capable of penetrating most German tanks from 1200m range. It can also engage soft targets with acceptable HE shells. Furthermore, its 8 sloped frontal armour is quite good for a mobile tank destroyer. Still, prolonged engagements where hits increasingly get more accurate are likely to end up poorly for the Wolverine.

The wolverine's gun is inadequate against more potent German tanks such as the Panther and the Tiger and frontal confrontation is not advisable. When facing these tanks, the Wolverine should engage only when it can land a side shot. Preferably, the Panther or TIger also should be panicked, facing another unit / turned elsewhere or both.
