Post by: moot on April 23, 2011, 10:45:28 AM

Can anyone say if this gun is the same as "75mm HE / 76mm HE" on this page:

Funny, the wgr21 has more explosive power than the 75mm?  :headscratch:

Uh.. yes.

WGr 21:
Total weight: 112.5kg, warhead alone 40.8kg

75mm T13E1:
Shell weight (M48 HE): 14.92 lbs, 1.47 lbs of TNT in the shell.
If I have the right shell, it is this:

Diameter isn't the only consideration.


EDIT: Also I believe WGr 21 refers to 21 centimeters. Not mm.

That page is so out of date I believe it predates the B-25s AND the Shermans. I wouldn't take it to mean the B-25's gun, no.

someone showed that the M4A3/75 HE round has one of the highest explosive powers in game. i just need someone to back up this statement.

Sherman 75er ~ 180

Correct if wrong..
