The 17pdr really suffers from volumetric shells. I actually have found that i do better against uptiers because tigers and panthers' armor causes more shrapnel than lighter targets.

[@carlblack8574]

The 17 Pounder is really good, but I can't stand the Sherman Firefly as a whole... That tank is so poorly armored and the awful mobility and gun depression is a nightmare for me. I take the M4A1 (76) W at 4.7 any day.

[@__Tiny__]

Give the Avenger a go. Its well fast and has good acceleration. Its also has the 17pdr but with 10 degrees of depression. And to top it all off the hull has 2 spaced 60mm plates making it weirdly survivable

[@NoName5589]

Yeah I've always hated the Sherman Firefly, it's just not good I do whole heartedly agree with Ronnie though, the Avenger is a tight little tank to run

[@thanosthethiccfarmer1850]

I know I won't get attention, but back in 2016, right after I got my Tiger E, I had sniped a HE-162 on custom in Sinai using APCR. The plane was flying away, and I had fired at 3.6km and by the time the shell hit, he was at 5.4km and I had to play the replay to see. I can no longer play it as the replay is out of date.

[@eventidessoul1963]

"I do better in worse tanks and worse in better tanks". I think that's the mindset with shermans. like they're forced to go against the panthers and tigers and so they have to really do better. and the reverse of that mindset is seen with some german mains. the tigers and panthers are really good but the players become complacent and so they do worse.

[@97thGalaxy]

The good thing about having that much pen is that you can pen the stug’s transmission

[@miraak542]

I've only felt extreme suffering in british tanks. The low after pen damage of the solid shot shells is painful and while the pen is decent, I just can't find myself enjoying any of them until the later, higher BR vehicles. The Rooikat is probably one of my favorite light tanks.

[@mroldmcfuckinjenkins2423]

[@lukasmorski-zmij8030]

Every Pole has heard about the achievements of the Polish 1st Armored Division under General Maczek in France and Germany. On the liberators of Breda and the conquerors of Wilhelmshaven. However, he knows less that at the same time Polish-handed American and British tanks also liberated the land many kilometers south of the 1st Division's operations. We are talking about the soldiers of the 2nd Armored Brigade who, together with the 2nd Polish Corps, liberated Ancona and Bologna.

[@amnamubarok7149]

As a Sherman Firefly, player I can agree to all you've said about it. But you forgot to mention the reload speed, it compensated the solid shot things. My favorite things to do with 17 pounder is disarming whole Germans and Russians blitzkrieg and kill them one by one, or maybe one shot them too. Just satisfying.. Love my 17 pounder.

I remember when they added the British Ground Tree and everyone was all excited about the 17pdr. I didn't know the hype until I got to the Firefly. At this time in WT's lifespan, the only guns that felt good for the Allies were the 90s and even then you were fighting Tiger II's with short 90s. (M26 at 6.7 babyyyyy). Then you encountered the 17pdr...and it was incredible. Its only gotten better too!
