The US used the 6-pounder as their primary anti-tank gun in the M1 57mm gun, just not mounted on many vehicles.

[@aiedenoldstien9751]

Probably because the 75mm and 76mm are both reliable enough cannons for the tanks we used. I imagine we had a prototype sherman or something with one.

[@TheChieftainsHatch]

@@aiedenoldstien9751 M7 Medium had it in its earlier iteration. In the end the only vehicle built en masse with the 57mm was the T48 gun motor carriage, which ended up all getting sent to the British, who then sent them to the Soviets. TD Branch believed that the 75mm was better at range due to the heavier shell, and Armored Force wanted something with good HE capability.

[@wotwott2319]

the 6 pdr. is one of those cannons that makes you go "why is this on a higher br than the 75mm?" and when you play it you go "oh.."

[@davidty2006]

Turns out if it's heavy and on wheels it tends to be somewhat good. even if it's made by a company known for it's busses.

[@taomongkol5921]

​@@davidty2006To be fair busses are known for being heavy and on wheels.

[@MrEsphoenix]

Britain had some of the best armoured cars of the war and has historically being the biggest user of them. Even in modern combat, the British use armoured cars and infantry as the tip of the spear, with tanks fulfilling more of a support and hold ground role. It's why it's so criminal that we still don't have a proper domestic scout line for Britain. One of the reasons they were so good is because they had some of the best heavy vehicle manufacturers at the time, which could apply their skills to them better than a tracked vehicle. The AEC for example is built on one of their existing truck chassis. The Chieftain did a couple of video's on this particular vehicle which is well worth a watch. He also did one on the Ferret, which is a fantastic little scout car that I believe is still used today in some countries.

[@filmandfirearms]

@@MrEsphoenix To be fair, being used in some countries isn't really a high bar. Brazil is still using the Madsen and that thing is objectively overcomplicated garbage compared to pretty much any LSW produced since the end of WW1. The Bren literally just took the Madsen's concept and made it practical, both to use and maintain, it is better than the Madsen in every way, and yet Brazil still uses them because anything that goes bang is useful. Most of the countries still using Ferrets use them for the same reason, it's a choice between no armor, or at least no light armor, or a Ferret, and that's an easy choice to make

[@MrEsphoenix]

@@filmandfirearms Only the ferret was a well loved and capable vehicle that still performs decently well today due to it's reliability, speed and ease of use. Similar to the CVRT chassis, it's actually good.

[@MrEsphoenix]

The fact that Britain, historically the biggest user of armoured cars, still doesn't have a domestic scout line is a downright piss take. As in real life, a lot of the tech tree's short comings could be solved by armoured cars and light vehicles.

[@ffenixfubuki]

[@isaacciardi6276]

As much as I agree with you on this point. I believe that it was considerably more criminal, that spookston took until the last quarter of his last match in the video, to use him dam he shells that he brought with him.

[@dutch24]

@@isaacciardi6276 He used one against the M16 in the first match, though.

[@snaketanker]

I don’t understand why they never put any more of the AECs into the tech tree since they were one of the most used armored cars used in WW2. They could add the one with the 2pdr or the 75mm to the tech tree, but they won’t. It’s like how the M8 LAC is practically unobtainable for the US tree despite it being commonly used. Gaijin makes no sense with their decisions

Churchill III had 3 men turret with 6 pounder on ø1372mm turret ring.

[@czwarty7878]

Well maybe that's the reason. 6-pdr was the gun of about maximum size and mass that you can have while still remaining highly mobile, easily pushed by small squad of men, towable by a jeep, transported by air in light glider etc. so they devised that if you want to have a gun on wheels you can as well go for something larger and stronger. That's why they mainly went for 75mm+ for tanks and other vehicles

[@The_Boastful]

When you have solid shot, you run into many situations that make you wish you had APHE. When you have APHE, you run into fewer moments that make you wish you had solid shot... But those moments tend to be so annoying that it basically equals out.

[@snaketanker]

If you play enough with solid shot, it’s never a problem since it spalls decent enough just have to be more conscious of where you’re aiming

[@The_Boastful]

@@snaketanker Try telling that to the Churchill 1. Or literally anything with APCR.

[@snaketanker]

@@The_Boastful the Churchill 1 is terrible all around and never should be used because you’re free points for the enemy with it’s bad armor and there’s many better options for vehicles at its BR to fill its slot that aren’t slow including the other 2pdr equipped vehicles since it’s still a viable gun but needs mobility to be effective. Don’t use apcr unless the armor you’re firing on is almost flat because it will shatter/bounce.

[@The_Boastful]

@@snaketanker For one. You've taken my comment far too seriously. For two. I was referencing the fact that APCR has basically no post pen. Makes the 60mm APDS on the VCC look like APHE by comparison.

[@snaketanker]

@@The_Boastful apcr doesn’t have good post pen due to the part that actually penetrates the tank is small compared to non apcr rounds so it’s not going to generate much shrapnel and spalling with a smaller projectile
