[@MSgtRazor]

Bright Orange? Yellow??

[@no-legjohnny3691]

0:14 - Only the M4A1 with the 75mm gets -12° of gun depression because of the minimalist gun mantlet. Basically every other Sherman in the game has -10° or less.

[@Chopstorm.]

IIRC it's the Pullman mantlet.

[@doggo3354]

Another thing is that the engine on the M4A1 is miserable in terms of acceleration.

[@worldbiggestfan1]

Actually it’s a m4a1 Canadian grizzly bear

[@worldbiggestfan1]

While the regular Sherman is just an m4

[@johnapro7759]

I was pleasantly surprised by this tank when I first got it even though at first I thought it was just another boring m4. Got my first 11 kill game in this beast, on the Stalingrad map, by camping on the B point where it dips down into the hole. But because of the fantastic gun depression, I could peek up over the edge and snipe people as they approached. After a few kills I had to fully climb out of the hole, to engage further and bounced shots I didn't think would, all while trying to find somewhere to penetrate the armour of my attacker, before taking them out. Ended up surviving till the end of the match with one spawn. My adrenalin levels were through the roof. One of the best experiences playing low tier as a new player I ever had.

[@OddBawZ]

This and the 3.3 T-34 give me the heebie jeebies, man. I feel like they're both under appreciated but the Sherman is especially monstrous.

[@ManifestDestiny259]

Both are absolutely amazing, I’ve played both but I prefer the m4 Sherman because of its stabilizer, more pen, and from my experience more armour

[@rarespetrusamartean5433]

they're both undertiered is what they are

[@OwenBeyer-nr3dv]

I’m a panzer 4 G enthusiast the armor is ok but that gun is the best at 3.3

[@MarderFokker]

I find the Panzer IV H even scarier, it just has to click a tank to annihilate it and that add-on track armour likes to do some weird things sometimes.

Can i ask why? is it that bad, or actually pretty good?

But in shooters you are usually disadvantaged using a controller at least when it comes to precision and time to aim so i tend to use M/K

[@Reznov-u7x]

I support this too

[@chriss4855]

you should try out the 15cm big sig if you haven't done so yet, it's actually such a fun tank. it has the brummbar's HE shell (same pen as the m109), an 11 second reload (which is insane i swear it used to be something like 40 seconds), and the comedic bonus of low-velocity HE shells i genuinely think you could take it up to 6.0 and still do well, maybe even get a nuke, but if you want to instead have a blast vaporizing lower tier tanks, for some ungodly reason it sits at a br rating of 1.0

I honestly remember like it was yesterday when the US was first added. The Lee and the first M4 was honestly beyond op. Getting 10-13 kills PER LIFE in it was completely normal

[@MechaNick767]

Hey Spooks. That marking was for the tank ”War Daddy II” of the 1st armoured division, G comp. That is how they looked during in the North African campaign. Not sure if it was during Operation Torch, but it should have been some time during the M4 Sherman’s baptism of fire. You can tell that it is a very early Sherman due to the VVSS suspension without the skid plate and the return roller in the middle, similar to the M3 Grant/Lee

Attempt 60 Challenge: For high tier support a nations MBT with its respective APC/IFV counterpart (ie Abrams/Bradley, T90/BMP2M, etc.) Challenge is keeping the other player alive and supporting it without stealing kills (breaking barrels, tracking, repairing, etc) it being a random should help make it interesting.

@@blitzkrieg8776 Heat buff is cool, but it's general FEEL of it what matters. You are fast and it feels like it. Armor is not enough for most stuff, but somewhat reliable against autocannons.

So that tank is actually iconic! Specifically the paint job. That is the War Daddy 2, a tank led by Lafayette G Pool. He was a Texan giant who spearheaded a ton of armored missions in Tunisia. He gave his original War Daddy tank the same paint job, before it was destroyed. (Without a man lost I might add!)
