Title: Sherman Armor......
Post by: humble on April 11, 2007, 05:50:47 PM

seems a bit better then I'd have thought. I was "dueling" a T-34 at roughly 1500 yds and he bounced at least 4-5 rds off the sherman. Curious if we were just at the range the new ammo is worse then old or sherman armor better then expected....gun is very flat.

Put 5 AP rounds from 1 Sherman into the side of another, didn't even smoke it. Then went offline and detroyed 4 Tigers in 5 shots from the front.

Yup, thats accurate.

Each Sherman actually represents 20 real Shermans.  This is to reflect the large numbers that they operated in.  Kinda like formations on bombers.  :D

I hit a Sherman from about 20 ft exactly broadside with T34 HVAP when he didn't see me hiding in the trees.  Did absolutely nothing.  He just ignored me and drove off.  Hit him repeatedly as he left.  Nothing.     So I guess "Ronson lighter- Lights First Time Every Time" refers to some other version of the Sherman.

So as a T34 driver, I have yet another tank of which I cannot scratch the paint.
