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)....

what was the most used sherman type? the plain M4 type! even the tiger was more produced then the firefly! remember go to: http://www.battletanks.com

see how cool the sherman was!

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,

any sherman can fight a panzer!

but we should atleast get a sherman DD  for water attacks!

He still doesn't know!:lol

I agree we need more tanks, esp since theres only one perk tank thats not alot of selection for hard earned perks. I would love to see a king tiger ( tiger II) in game just to watch everyone and thier mother try to gang rape you.

We have 2000 variations of 109s spits and fws but not the whole german or american tank line. Maybe all the current effort is going into CT but would be cool to have a bone thrown to the gv dogs.

And actually I read that the german panther tank was better overall, better gun speed and armor. Gimme!

As VooWho said, the more heavy armored tanks we get in this game, the less likely they will get a sherman. So..... GIMMIE THE PANTHER!:cool:

[VooWho]

Thats right. I'll take a panther.

[Denholm]

Wow, now it's really easy to see how badly you want an M4.

[VooWho]

I really want one man. Just a sexy tank. I'll take it to battle. I'll even take it to battle today. (The Isreal Type)

If you ignore taylor, it was a nice thread. That's what I was doing most of the time (ignoring taylor)

If you were going to introduce the Sherman chassis it would have to be the Firefly or one of the tank destroyer variants, if you put in a TD then you'll have non-stop complaints about how .303's knocked out my tank...better to go with the firefly. Granted the regular old M-4 was the most widely used but even the people who thought it was a good tank admitted it was outclassed by nearly everything on the field ( except maybe the Stuart  ). It was fast & maneuverable but that won't help much in the AH world.

[Sabre]

Yep, make it the Firefly or go with the M-10.

[sparow]

I agree with you, Sherman is a must have, maybe the Firefly is the best choice.

But a Matilda or a Grant would be also very welcome! I even promise to produce a Desert Rats skin for them! It's half made, anyway, but on a Panzer...

When a British or American tank comes in, I'll also make a Desert Rats skin for the M3, M8 and Jeep.
