although the M4 Sherman is weak and all (with fire power and protection), it still was a lethal war winning machine and most widely used! we need it!

Heck YES! I don't care what you guys say this tank is Important! I don't care if it sucks, I'm sick and tired of T-34s, Panzers, and Tigers. I want that Sherman, I don't care which modle it is, but I want one. I don't care what you "That tank would be outclassed" people say. I want an American tank, and I want it when HTC says lets make a GV now guys. I can wait HTC, but please let the next vehical that comes out be the sherman. Like I said in another post long long time ago. The more heavily armored tanks we get in this game, the less tanks like the sherman we well get. Please no more heavy tanks for awhile (as in fire power and armor)

Be cool to see for a bit I have to admit. Would get tiring though, you'de up, shoot two ineffective shells at a panzer, get blasted.

Up, get blasted, up, get blasted.

Up...run 5 feet, get blasted.

There was some kid a while back that posted a topic about making models, I think the thread was called "im doing something cool when not on the internet" or something like that. Beware though, the models he made looked like total and absolute garbage. Better study his so yours wont look as bad

The sherman would be a bit overmatched by the PZIV. The upgunned "easy 8" would be a better option but still a bit overmatched. Realistically the best varient would be the "firefly". This was a british varient utilizing the 17pder. It was capable of penetrating a tigers frontal armour at 1000M with standard AP rounds. When the APDS rounds were available it could defeat a tiger at 2000M (frontal armour)....

Greetings,

Depending on the variant, the Sherman is a match for the Pnzr IV. The Pnzr V and VI out matched it on a 'nose to nose' basis. The only question I have is how well the armor on different arcs is assessed in the game.

Almost anything (at least from 50mm AT wpn on up) should be able to take out a Pnzr VI from the rear. Caliber .50 should pentrate from the top.

History shows the US traded 4 Shermans to get one Tiger. Fortunately, we were able to build and man 5....

Regards,
