Why do we need the 75mm Sherman? (rant)

[Kenne]

The gun performance is inferior to current tank guns in use.

Whats the incentive to gamers to choose this vehicle except to be kill points for others?

Why is AH wasting our money in designing this 'old' Sherman when we have one already?

Why is AH going for astetics rather than performance...I mean who here flys the Spit Mk1 in the MA?

Why cant AH focus on the 'BS' problems in the MA. AP rounds exploding in trees for example?

Why cant AH develop the M26 Pershing instead of going backwards. Hell, why not develop the M3 Lee instead!!!  It had a 75mm too you know!!

Developing the 75mm Sherman is like bringing back 8track.

I don't even know where to start with this one...

it's so bad that I'm thinking/hoping it's just a troll.

Apparently he wasn't content with being clueless in the Sherman/75 thread so decided to spread the stupidity around.

The gun performance is inferior to current tank guns in use.  You are forgetting the T34/76

Whats the incentive to gamers to choose this vehicle except to be kill points for others? People fly EW planes in LW arena and do actually drive Panzer & T34/76's even.

Why is AH wasting our money in designing this 'old' Sherman when we have one already? Fleshing out the GV list with one of the most important Gv's in the war instead of adding very rare variants just because they are "better". game isnt all about "performance" anyway... If it was, we'd had the Tempest, the 262 and Spit 14 and not much more.

Why is AH going for astetics rather than performance...I mean who here flys the Spit Mk1 in the MA? You may better look up what people are flying & driving.. most are not going for "best performance, all the time

Why cant AH focus on the 'BS' problems in the MA. AP rounds exploding in trees for example? Ever thougth about why it is that way?

Why cant AH develop the M26 Pershing instead of going backwards. Hell, why not develop the M3 Lee instead!!!  It had a 75mm too you know!! Good idea, has my support

Needs more pie-chart.

do you notice the calliope of win on that thing? didnt think so

[Squire]

Because many in AH like the variety of early, mid and late war GVs, Ships and Aircraft for both SEA Events and MA play and dont just ask for Jet planes, supertanks, and atomic bombs that only came into service in the last 2 weeks of the war.

Thats why.

Minor point Kenne. After we give it to them in exchange for online access it isn't our money, it's their money.

Did gamers ask for the 75mm Sherman?

Isn't that the truth.  I do think this rests your case from that other thread talking about the loss of folks interested in the history and the infusion of gamers.

Where is our rocket jumping M26!

And this customer wants a 75mm Sherman.

How would that work?

Aye but the whiner is always wrong.

My bad, we really needed this instead:

You know, to round out the most common AFVs.

Not a gver, so not bothered either way. Iconic piece of armour tho.
