You are correct.  Although I have seen mention of the hull being lengthened in the Firefly...still trying to get info on that.

The firefly had no armor advantage over a typical Sherman.

It was the M4A2 version.  Slightly longer due to a different engine if memory serves.  It did have the turret modified with a different loader hatch and compartment behind the turret to go with the larger 17 pounder gun.

And yes they were effective against Tigers.  Just ask Michael Wittmann

The hull was no different. The turret had to be modified to handle changes to the gun mounting because the recoil damping shocks were moved lateral to the gun instead of behind (or the gun would not have fit the turret) and the escape hatch for the turret was added and the radio operator removed and the radio moved up to where the loader could handle it (which is where the added section of the turret comes in). The 17 pounder was the most effective tank killing round in the war but the tank itself was no harder to kill than a standard Sherman (which by the way had the reputation of catching fire upon the first hit by panzer or tiger either one).

No I dont believe for a minute that a Firefly had the optics to hit another tank at 5k but I do think the Tiger and Panzer could hit at 3k and did.

From all I've read, the Sherman had no more propensity to catch fire than any other tank.  The Germans learned that tanks that burned could not be repaired and put back into service so they kept shooting until they did burn.

Or the IL-2's lack of flight disruption due to unsychronized cannons. :neener:

http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,274113.0.html

A new patch is available now via the autoupdater or from the link in the news section on our homepage.

Version 2.15 Patch 1
======================

Fixed a bug that caused assists not to register.

Fixed a bug that caused films from the previous version to crash the film viewer.

Fixed a bug that caused the ship wakes to disappear when certain graphics settings were disabled.

Made a cosmetic change to the wakes so they don't shimmer and leave a hard edge.

Fixed a bug that caused the P-47N and P-47D-40 to not load all their rockets.

Added a Rockets label to the first loadout column of the PT boat in the hangar.

Il-2 37mm cannons are no longer synced together.

They are unsyched now . Where have you been. :neener:

I know this.  I posted the thread that started the wheels turning.
http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,263890.0.html  


Now they need to incorporate the massive disruption in flight, site picture, and accuracy that comes with the unsynched guns.

Where have you been? :neener:

even the jeep had a gun that could take out a tank ?

The Jeep we have now can kill a Panzer from the back.
