Chieftain recently had a video talking about it where he said the tests of such improvised armor usually showed that it not only overloaded the tank and made it less maneuverable and prone to breakages, but often actually increased the effectiveness of enemy fire. Track pieces would protect enemy shells from shattering and increase angle pen, similarly with sandbags and wood. Random soft crap on the tank was usually not thick enough to protect againsy heat, but would give the warhead long enough to form the copper enema even with imperfect fusing, etc

One thing that i have noticed with the Shermans, or rather with American tanks in rank 3/4. Is how much quieter it is then vehicles of other Nations. I end up catching people so much more by suprise with the Shermans than any other tank.

Hey Spook, you should play the Semovente 75/46 M43. It's a deeply overshadowed italian tank destroyer which can deliver an heavy punch but it's deeply ignored the potential it has. I am not gonna surrender in proposing this. (Day 85)

the last Sherman in active service was with the Chilean army as the M60 with a 60mm HVMS Gun till 1999 before being replaces by leopards 1's

this thing had a place in my lineup for AGES in my (still ongoing) US ground grind, and it is great

A gremlin tank I would love to see you play is either the DF105 or the Marder 1A3 Paper thin armor, good speed

just gonna suggest the ikv103 again since its such a goblin and also some of the casemate italian tank destroyers, theyre super fun from what ive seen

im not giving up for you to try the AMX M4 or ARL-44 since both gets PCO-50 that can pen almost everything on their respective BR

@altf5326

9 ай бұрын

gun depression on the arl-44 is like having a stroke and ending up with half your face frozen and the turret armor is thin and huge for no reason.

Reverse speed aside, it's just hard to go wrong with a US Sherman. The 105 Sherman at 2.7 was busted, the regular 75 Shermans feel so nice, the 76s are a nice step up in firepower, and both Jumbos are a joy to use when not uptiered. The power of stabs, .50 cals, and power traverse with only 1 exception in the US tree. And yes, I do love the idea of a 4.7 "Super Pershing" :3

That'd be the M4a2 and M4a3. The m4a1 was nowhere near the heavy tank as those two. Though I've heard no German fans compare it to a heavy tank. Honestly I will say that the Sherman's were pretty mid of ww2. They weren't great tanks, but they weren't bad tanks. In fact they weren't entirely meant for direct tank on tank combat. They were meant to be infantry support. Although having the cannon did mean it could stand a chance against a tank if it ran into one.

Sherman and it's derivatives are underrated. I have tried the German and Chinese tech trees and the Sherman is the best medium tank overall. It not about what benefits you won't have if you pick it, it's about what disadvantages you don't have to deal with if you drive the Sherman.
