I restored the M4A3 (Late) (105) at the Texas military forces museum and the manuals give the HEAT round penetration as 6 inches at any range. So even the tiger is in danger, the 105 round is the same as the towed 105. 2 were in the HQ of each tank BN.

Actually the M4 Sherman with the 105mm in WoT is a fearsome beast.
Move it over here where the first guy that hits wins and it won't be quite as well loved.

However I'd love to see it as an option or a perked varient.

i dont GV anymore. i see no point to it. i used to love gv'ing. had over 300perks from it.

but then it just suddenly changed. ppl stoped trying to take gv bases and went to just camping the space inbetween sniping eachother until they get bored&log off.


or if your a small platoon of tanks assaulting a gv field, then the defenders will just spawncamp you till you get tired of being spawnkilled.

i droped from over 300perks to 164 from just being spawn killed alone. so i stoped gv'ing.


the 105mm sherman tho is one of my favorite. and i would pick up gv'ing again if it was added.

could you imagine the whining though? with all the people in WoT crying about artillery just imagine what would happen here. BTW who would want some squishy tank with an oversized gun for some insane price tag?

someone asking for the stug is calling the sherman squishy? lolol.


anyways. the 105mm would be good for taking out buildings plus other tanks. it can engage a tiger on allmost equal grounds (except armor of course)


and you must not be very good at WoT. otherwise you'd know the 105mm sherman ISENT full artillery. its a tank that was used as mobile artillery and in some cases to engage heavy tnks (reason why they came with HEAT rounds).

and as ive stated allready, it wouldnt be hard to add to the game.

the sherman is a very squishy vehicle, i killed one in a t34/76. and the gun on that thing is rediculously horrible. like i said, who would want some oversized gun on a wet paper towel?

From what you wrote... It's easy to be confused.......  Here in AH, T24 is a pilot; flies in Wings of Terror.  So if you and he are doing some "don't ask don't tell" things well fine, but we don't want to know.... And I doubt you would ever knock him up.  He's a dude, dood.
