Well, all in a day's work.

I skipped reading about half the thread, but I've had some serious issues fighting the M4A3(76)W. The armor surrounding the gun barrel seems nigh impenetrable. I went against one in a Tiger at 500 yards, me in a hull-down bunker, him hull-down under a ridge. Three shots in varying places on his mantlet bounced. He bounced four rounds, fifth killed my turret, seventh killed my tank. I dunno, but it seems to me the Sherman would lose the entire turret structure if hit point-blank with a Tiger's AP round.

Pulled this out of another thread in the Aircraft & Vehicles forum, posted today.

Found a bug in the Shermans that is putting additional armor behind the gun shields.  This will be fixed in the next version.  Avoid shooting them in the gun shield for now.

Ooo, well, that's good news.

I was having some issues yesterday killing panzer in the hurri D: I was shooting left, right, middle, and top of that sucker with those big o 40s, only after about 12 hits did he go boom, or towered..

got 1-shot killed by a M4-76 yesterday in my T34 after hitting him 6 times with AP at approx 1.8K. Smoked his engine (not sure how you take out an engine with a hit in his right front qtr, but whatever), knocked out both tracks, and had 3 rounds just impact (no ricochet visible) with no apparent damage. 1 of those hits was right side of the turret, one on the front around driver area, one on the right side above tracks.

He finally ranged me and killed my T34 with one shot directly to my front.

I watched someone pump 22 direct panzer hits into one yesterday before it went down.  all direct hits.

No, I was in another M4A3(76)W... doing this -->
