Thats what im saying ,
You're saying that the Sherman is an easy kill? Then what are you complaining about?
I VERY rarely have a Sherman survive the first shot. My longest kill ever was 3 shots against a Sherman... he was so far away I was at risk of losing him in the bottom of the gunsight, well below the rangefinder. With a Panzer IV.

Im saying the oposite , for me it takes numerous shots to kill them.

Panzer can kill a Sherman very easily...Just gotta hit it in the right spots.

Where you hit matters as much as simply hitting does.

And shermans pop me first hit almost all time time. If im lucky they will smoke me. shermans gun is garbage at long range compared to the tiger and the panzer.


As has been said, we have the 17 pounder gun, a lot more powerful than the 75mm. Im not big on GV's, but surely this will makea  bit differance, explaining why you get popped on the first shot. Its a big gun
seeds have been laid...but they arent trees we're growing. we're growing organic grenades!- 321BAR
I'd have a better chance in running into a Dodo Bird in the middle of rush hour, walking down the I-5 with two hookers in tow before I see a useful post from glock89- Ack-Ack

Well , before you jump into a subject you have no idea about , take a little time to actually read the topic , I know ... it hurts but try. The topic is Panzers not being able to kill a sherman in 1 shot. It taks 2 to 3 shots , if you dont get a ricochet. Never doubted anything about the fireflys capability to kill another tank , thats given. Click on the links in the first page for specs

I was simply replying to what you said about getting popped every time with one shot from a sherman. Thats how I read your post anyway, if not could you possibly take the bother to rephrase it. I have already admitted that I dont know anything about GV's, so no need to get narky at me

It doesnt matter what range you are shooting at, you can get a ricoche at 3200 or at 10ft away depending on where your round hits.

"My longest kill ever was 3 shots against a Sherman" Find that very interesting, you must not fight sherman's much?

I don't get why you even typed that, you know it's stupid.

The furthest away I've killed a tank, I should've said.
