The Sherman Firefly was, in both World of Tanks first, and in War Thunder second, the first thing I ever ground for. The very first tank I looked at and told myself "this, I want to drive this thing". I played WoT first, endured the rank stinking grind and the mod-infested monkey model meta, eventually scored my Firefly, played it for a good while, then threw my hands in the air along with the table and quit the game entirely over how not-enough it was. Then I saw War Thunder and thought "hey, this seems like the perfect fix, this heroic underdog tank is getting the proper treatment here". Then a strange case of deja vu happened, but I no longer had anywhere to go, so with WT I stuck. Bastards.

It is a great tank, but I feel like it suffers from being c o m p r e s s e d into constantly fighting Panthers. When it fights panthers it's straight up worse than 76mm's since they both can only pen the same place but 1 can kill the entire turret and the other the commander, gunner, and maybe the breach. Same with the Tiger. For me, the tank I rushed was the M18 because I heard it was great, used it like a medium, lost all my credits, was unable to buy the 7 tanks I'd researched and then stopped playing for months until I found Phly and similar channels, which made me want to play again. Now I actually understand how to play, I find playing tanks like the Firefly alot more rewarding (Dopamine and SL wise) than other vehicles. Maybe it's just my playstyle of no flanking, into the center of combat on the ground and supporting my team with air cover and spotting once I get in my typhoon, but this tank and it's accompanying fighters just works in its correct BR, fighting Pz 4's that, while definitely better in most ways than it, have massive flat plates and close together crew that you want to shoot. Morale of the story: Don't rush into playing games with the sole intent of getting 1 tank or 1 gun or 1 set of armour. Find a beginners guide to see whether the game is what you think it is or whether the playstyle you think you want to do is really the one your gonna get the most fun out of.

Also, if your still playing, maybe try grind a different tree instead of UK if it's not very fun. Each tree is surprisingly different gameplay wise, but they all have something to offer. If your finding the UK too slow, maybe try the USSR with its speedy T34's and above average heavies. If the Solid shot of the UK is the problem, try literally any of the other main 3 trees (USA, USSR again, Germany). All of them mainly use APHE that will kill on hit. If your want a point and click adventure with the only skill needed being angling hulls and checking corners, try Germany 5.3.

Firefly is also my least favourite Sherman, it has the worst armour for the BR other than the French Shermans, bad gun depression, it's less mobile than other Shermans as well, and it lacks a stabiliser which is so useful. Also it has less survivability because it only has 4 crew. Having said that, I do still like it just for the gun, although I'd take the avenger over it

I went into test drive the instant I was able to preview the Firefly, and it couldn't penetrate a Panther hull at almost any range despite the armor analysis saying it could. I even tried out the premium one that has all the ammunition unlocked, and none of them worked either. I mean obviously the Panther's weak spot is the turret which is why it's kind of a POS, but still. IT DEFINITELY is supposed to be able to shred a Panther at long range, at least with ONE of the ammo types! MSSGA!

Yet once apdsfs comes out it magically becomes good and can one shot things without filler.

@AG92294 жыл бұрын
Or when they have consistently been shown that the turret of the Cromwell is 76mm, but they keep it at 64mm so the Wirbelwind can pen it. Or when they keep the turret traverse of the Comet slower than it was IRL. Or when they refuse to reduce the gun bounce on the Comet, despite the British having fitted an additional shock absorber unit specifically to reduce that. Or when they give the 2 Pounder - an accurate gun IRL - shot dispersion so bad, you can't use it pat 400 yards.

well the vickers mbt ( one of my favourite tanks ) is still extremely powerful in a 8.3 uptier due to its insane reload for the l7a3 and its ok topspeed plus good turret traverse and two plane stab.The Centurion mk 10 could be 7.3 , since its reload and turrettraverse is a big drawback , also t54 (1947/1949) has trouble piercing your ufp at range and its storage boxes and big turret allows for good anti bmp1 protection.The biggest issue with 6.7-7.7 british tanks is the ridicoulous repair none can afford (~ 40-50k sl for full linup repair) And the firefly fr mk v is really good at killing leopards

It's not the gun that makes it heavy. That Firefly is based on the Sherman V, hence the name of Vc, and it used the extremely heavy and huge Chrysler Multibank engine (which necessitated the tank being stretched to fit it in), which made the Sherman V about 5 tons heavier than the M4 model Sherman. You will note that the premium Sherman Ic Firefly is much faster and more mobile.

I completely agree with you, Gaijin has this really weird hate fetish for the British and it doesn't make sense. Solid shot is nothing like it was in reality for pen and the shrapnel effect too. The British didn't bother investing in HE as the solid shot they were using had effective shrapnel to deal with tanks that HE was pointless. The issue is the fact Britain relies on their solid shot, so it's a massive disadvantage and annoyance when it's not correct. I guess it's not the big 3 lol
