5.0 or 5.3, comparable to VK 3002 (M), less pen and worse velocity but better lethality, slightly better HP/tonne, better reverse but slightly worse top speed, better hull armor and turret rotation speed but open top which makes it extremely vulnerable to planes and HE, both of which are extremely common at these BRs.

Well done! Finally someone did this tank.
Now do this next one:
It’s a Hellcat with an engine from a truck. By finding engine specs of the truck and figuring out its power to weight ratio and cross-referencing that to the weight of the hellcat you’ll get your +/- accurate specifications. There is a source out there that states from what truck the grill came from.
Get to work, boy.

All M18s with the 76mm are 6.0 in GRB, same turret but with a T-55 hull, 5.0/5.3?
This would have to go to USSR right, most the tank is USSR built.
A t55 hull at like 6.7 would be absurd but its open top.
either way +1 as it looks wretchedly cursed

It’s an Fabrika Automobila Priboj 13, likely a FAP-1313TK or FAP-1314S due to the shorter radiator length compared to other models.
The engine is an FAMOS F-A* or a FAMOS FF-A*, made by FAMOS at it would give 1/3 the specifications compared to the Continental R975-C1, in comparison the FAMOS F-A will be 24% heavier and 72% weaker if is the F-A model or 68% weaker if is the FF-A model
It will be a hell of a slow vehicle in summary, having a mobility of a truck in a 17 tons vehicle using a engine of an 4 tons military truck. Take this with a bit gram of salt, finding information for this specific engine is hard as it wasn’t exactly documented in english sources.
*Additional notes
The engines value may vary depending on the model of the truck this engine was taken from: The FAP-1313TK was built with the FAMOS F-A (130hp) and the FAP-1314S was built with the FAMOS FF-A (145hp).

The M18 has like 6 HP/tonne more which is an absolutely massive difference worthy of at least one BR step above, and then you factor in the great reverse speed as well.
Objectively looking, it is absolutely a competitor to the VK3002, having better hull armor and vastly worse turret armor with some other differences here and there.

Thanks for the info. Given those percentages, we can now calculate the Yugo Hellcat’s power-to-weight ratio, which in turn allows us to estimate its speed and acceleration characteristics.
The Results:
| Metric | Original Hellcat | Yugo Hellcat (145 hp) |
|---|---|---|
| Engine Power | 400 hp | 145 hp |
| Vehicle Weight | 18.8 tons | 18.94 tons |
| Power-to-Weight Ratio | 21.3 hp/ton | 7.66 hp/ton |
| Top Speed (on road) | ~55–60 mph | ~20–28 mph (estimated) |
Estimated Acceleration (Road Conditions)
| Speed | M18 Hellcat (original) | Yugo Hellcat (145 hp) |
|---|---|---|
| 0–20 mph | ~8 sec | ~22 sec |
| 0–30 mph | ~13 sec | ~36 sec |
| 0–40 mph | ~20 sec | ~55 sec |
| Max Speed | ~55–60 mph | ~25–28 mph |
Off-Road Summary Yugo Hellcat
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Effective Power (off-road) | ~101.5 hp |
| Power-to-weight (off-road) | ~5.36 hp/ton |
| Acceleration (0–20 mph) | ~32 seconds |
| Max Speed (off-road) | ~18–22 mph |
While this configuration is plausible with the static, low-mobility characteristics of Yugo-style warfare, it’s essential to confirm whether this engine is indeed the one used in the tank.

who the hell made this abomination
Bosnia
I wonder will this have an all around br rating from 6.0 to 8.3? Fits in any line up 50% off winter sale.
That is 13/14S
145HP
How can you tell?
Short radiator
It is from JNA (Yugoslav Army) fuel truck
It was used as indirect fire support
no turret rotation
The grille on the converted Hellcat has a FAP 13 badge. As far as I know only FAP 1313 (130 hp) had the FAP 13 badge on the front grille. FAP 1314 /1414 (145 hp) had theirs on the cab door under the window. FAP 1314 — Википедија
Are you talking about the height of the grille?
Source, please
All JNA trucks had their badges on the grille before 1991

So then it’s imposible to tell whether it has a 130 hp or 145 hp engine
Just assume its the 145 hp engine. Because, otherwise it’ll be too slow.
You can see based on my calculations that it is already bad as is.
How did it not have turret rotation? Was the mechanism broken?
Short grille was used only on “specialist” trucks of this type
Fuel trucks/Mechanic trucks/cisterns/firefighting and engineering vehicles …all of them had 145 hp engine.

so its turtle slow?
