Fiendix said:these were "just" shermans (their chasis), but with bigger guns i.e = tank destroyers.. so why cant we attach tank destroyer brigades to them?
I can't say I know the details of Shermans being upgunned to M10s, but in the case of Panzer IIs being turned into Stugs the turret ring was unable to support a gun larger than 20 mm, so they took out the entire turret system and replaced it with a 50mm gun in a fixed mount. I imagine it was the same with the Shermans, so they were not just Shermans, a fixed turret changes their use entirely.
