There was a huge difference in the guns though between the M18 and Sherman, The early had a 76mm low velocity field gun, while the M18 had a high velocity anti-tank gun that used had a very high chance on penetrating heavy armor, low and behold the M18 Hellcat was not using the same model gun the Sherman was using, one big difference is that the M4's gun was an infantry support weapon while and that the M18's gun had a muzzle break, the M18's gun velocity was so high it was superior to the T-34-85's 85mm gun. This very gun was used on the British Variant we all knew as the Sherman "Firefly".
Not to mention that the Hellcat had a top speed of 97km/h (way faster than the M1 Abrams by 30km/h)
