I had to look this up because I somehow didn't know about this one.

They turned out to have a really unreliable drivetrain, so only a few were produced. Shortly after the Patton was available with a similar gun an therefore chosen as replacement. Most ARL-44 were therefore scrapped, being in service for less than two years.
