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

[Obie303]

fast...less vulnerable!!!!

u mean the 75mm Sherman was a match for the PkW4 Auf2?
and faster as well?

Kenne, I don't know what was a better match between the two tanks you named.  I'm not a gv'er.  Never have been.  I can hold my own, but knowing what the weight of a Firefly with a full compliment of AP rounds, a full tank of gas, and 4 crew members,  (one carrying a few extra packs of smokes)....not a clue.

If your asking why we have the 75mm Sherman over something else,  I don't have an answer for that either.  All I was discussing was the 75mm Sherman (with the HE rockets) would be nice to take a town down.  It's not a vulnerable as a wirble and it's open turret.  That was all I said.

Kenne the M4A3 is a very nice match for the panzers it is not vulnerable at all,what you guys are saying when you say that it is vulnerbale is this "If the crew happens to Not know what they are doing".
Honestly the M4A3 will be a perfect addition ive racked up 600 kills in 3 week time period in m8's, and Panzers.
Its all what the person gunning and driving knows,that matters.

Hell, why not develop the M3 Lee instead!!!  It had a 75mm too you know!!

YES!!! Bring the M3!!! Please! Or was it the Grant? Great post, I totally agree with the author! 

Cheers!

so the apeal is that it will have more amor than the Wirbel and more armament then the M8...yes?

The appeal of earlier M4's is that they open up room for ground scenarios with American involvement. Anything else is simply a bonus deal.

And that it's the only American tank. And that it fills a gaping hole for Special Events.

[dirt911]

Yes Kenne it will be right with all the gv'ers who know how to kill Tigers in it.
Kenne what im saying and let me put this in a very understandable way "anyone who knows what they are doing will use the sherman extensiveley and will be very good in it with no trouble at all".

So HTC should only add GVs and planes that "trump" the ones already in game? They typical squeaked "OMG that would be AWESOME!" stuff?

Agreed.

[dirt911]

Kenne let me put it this way if you dont like it dont worry about it, or up it.The tank is a darn fine tank and seeing the calliope added with it fills the gap between what it will and wont kill.

well that is 'realism' isnt it.
I meanthe 51 didnt start out as a 6 gun merlin machine..yes?

[OOZ662]

well that is 'realism' isnt it.

Um...no?

[dirt911]

Kenne why are you so worried about it its just a tank and its just a game the sherman will be a non-perked common gv so why worry its free.

[Bronk]

Right that's why we need an early sherman... or did they start with the firefly?.

[Kenne]

Kenne why are you so worried about it its just a tank and its just a game the sherman will be a non-perked common gv so why worry its free.

because there are many more anomalys in the game that should be adressed b4 delving into
newer (to us) GVs or AC...

it is akin to introducing 'eye candy' that are only good to those with hi end vid cards/computors.
