No biggie there - just a minor mistake most make. However the 3" gun (76.2mm) was nothing like the 75mm found on the M4 Sherman even though it was just slightly larger. It was a real "TANK KILLER" on par with the British 17 pdr and the high velocity 75mm used on the German Panzers.
I agree with you 110% - with this armament combined with the Hellcat's speed and small size it would be a great addition to the vehicle roster. It's only weakness will be to aircraft because of the open turret top.
..... but then what do I know...."he's a nooob".:
Don't sweat that mate - that was a friendly jab aimed more at Zorstorer than you.
Always glad to have another "Tread Head" on the BBS. Welcome Aboard! Lets hope we will see the Hellcat or others soon.
