     Which M-10 are you talking about, cause it sure ain't this one:

     Or even this one:

     Maybe the M-36 Jackson, but that armor sounds a little heavy:

Even if you only get 3-5 HEAT rounds, and a whole boat load of HE rounds?  It isnt like the US Army went tank hunting with a 105 howitzer.

The point is that ammo loadouts would be based on what the vehicles were given historically and not made up just so you can have some tank with a big cannon.  So the point that SmokinLoon is trying to convey is that despite what you may think, the 105mm Sherman was not a tank killer and the ammo load out will reflect that and would not make it the ideal choice for tank on tank engagements.

Yes, there were cases of T-34s fighting other T-34s, Shermans fighting Shermans, etc in World War II and was far more common than one would think.

Flakpanzer T-34(r)

SU-85 pressed into German service
(http://www.achtungpanzer.com/images/cpsu85_1.jpg)

Stug III pressed into service with the 5th Guards Armored Brigade
(http://www.achtungpanzer.com/images/sovstug.jpg)

This is a photo of the British captured Panther tank "Cuckoo" that was pressed into service by I think the 4th Battalion of 6th Coldstream Guards Tank Brigade sometime in late 1944.
(http://www.achtungpanzer.com/images/cuckoo_1.jpg)

The Soviets were so fond of using captured German tanks that they would even press captured German mechanics into service to keep the captured tanks running.

This is from an advisory put out by the Red Army about captured tanks.
Quote
"It is suggested to the Red Army to use such German tanks as StuG III and Pz IV due to their relability and availability of spare parts. The new German Panther and Tiger can be used until they broken down without trying to repair them. They have bad engines, transmission and suspension."

As you can see, your claim of panzers fighting panzers, tigers fighting tigers didn't happen during World War II is clearly incorrect as I showed that it did happen and happened between other various types as well, like Sherman vs Sherman, T-34 vs. T-34, etc.

you know, its not neccisarily all in the gun. sometimes bigger isnt better-105mm would fit under that. it had a low velocity 105mm gun and a glacially slow turret traverse speed.

wed be better off with a sheet metal box with a 37mm.

plus i like the "mobile artillery" aspect of the 105.

side by side, the 105s barrel is actually shorter than the 76, so that "compensation" joke just failed.

The 105 mm Sherman tank had the same hydraulic controls as every other Sherman, how do I know I rebuilt the 105 gunned Sherman at the Texas Military Forces Museum while full time with the guard.

the M 10 gets my vote 1+

also this variant of the M-10 should be brought in.  17pdr SP Achilles


Type self-propelled anti-tank gun

Place of origin  United Kingdom

Production history

Manufacturer converted by Royal Arsenal, Woolwich

Number built 1,100

Specifications

Weight 29.6 tonnes (65,000 lb)

Length 7.01 m (23 ft 8¼ in) including gun

5.97 m (19 ft 7 in) excluding gun

Width 3.05 m (10 ft)

Height 2.57 m (8 ft 2 in)

Crew 5 (Commander, 3 gun crew, driver)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Armour 9 to 57.2 mm (0.3 to 2.3 in)

Primary
armament Ordnance QF 17 pounder (76.2 mm)
50 rounds

Secondary
armament .50 cal Browning M2HB machine gun (AA Configuration)
420 rounds

Bren light machine gun[1]

Engine General Motors 6046 Twin Diesel 6-71
375 hp (276 kW)

Power/weight 12.5 hp/tonne

Suspension Vertical Volute Spring Suspension (VVSS)

Operational range 300 km (186 mi)

Speed 51 km/h (32 mph)

Unlike the Americans, who saw the M10 as a tank hunter, the British viewed the Achilles as a mobile anti-tank gun.

Perhaps the most successful action of the Achilles was conducted by B troop, 245th Battery, 62nd Anti-Tank Regiment, Royal Artillery attached to the Hamilton Light Infantry during Operation Charnwood. A mixed German force of Mark IVs and Panthers from the 12th SS Panzer Division attempted to retake the town of Buron. The eight Achilles of B troop had set up in an orchard looking south towards Abbaye d'Ardenne and were ideally placed when the Panzers began their counter-attack. In the brief action, 13 German tanks were knocked out and the attack fell apart.

ack-ack

I just found the gunsight that the Sherman M4 105 used was the M38 variant, it had a fixed 1.4 zoom, you wont be hunting any tanks with that kind of zoom OR the 10 second (at best) reload rate.  ;) I'd leave the HEAT rounds home and let your buddy in the 76mm M4 do the tank hunting.  Also, with the reload rate and ammo available of the M4 75mm HE (and rockets), you'd be hard pressed to match the total damage out put.

I would love to have tank destroyers but i think your talking about something called the hellcat and it was armed with a long barreled 76mm gun which could still punch through a panther's armor and it could also go 60 mph. The drawback was it had only 1 inch thick armor.
