Only the 75

2020-09-03 19:20:33 UTC  

The 76 had little to no effect with HE

2020-09-03 19:20:44 UTC  

either the 17pdr or 76 had no HE round iirc

2020-09-03 19:20:53 UTC  

Just the way the gun worked

2020-09-03 19:21:06 UTC  

It wasn't a production problem. It was designed to take out tanks

2020-09-03 19:21:08 UTC  

apcbc, apcr, he, and solid shot for both 76mm and 75mm

2020-09-03 19:21:32 UTC  

m62 and m61 being more common on 76's

2020-09-03 19:22:04 UTC  

the Americans did

2020-09-03 19:22:55 UTC  

the 17 pdr was more for penetration

2020-09-03 19:23:09 UTC  

but that's what the 75mm Shermans were for

2020-09-03 19:23:29 UTC  

they would never have a platoon of just fireflys

2020-09-03 19:24:03 UTC  

yeah

2020-09-03 19:26:04 UTC  

yeah

2020-09-03 19:26:20 UTC  

but once again the main shell apcbc was great shell

2020-09-03 19:27:20 UTC  

the m48?

2020-09-03 19:27:33 UTC  

those are completely different eras

2020-09-03 19:27:45 UTC  

oh the m46 did struggle in korea

2020-09-03 19:27:58 UTC  

the m26 was late ww2 and korea

2020-09-03 19:28:11 UTC  

it did the best out of the m46 and m4a3e8

2020-09-03 19:28:13 UTC  

yeah

2020-09-03 19:29:29 UTC  

the m46 set out to improve the underpowered engine of the m26

2020-09-03 19:29:34 UTC  

yes the t26e1

2020-09-03 19:29:45 UTC  

super pershing

2020-09-03 19:30:37 UTC  

eh

2020-09-03 19:30:41 UTC  

not really

2020-09-03 19:30:52 UTC  

it was more or less a propaganda machine

2020-09-03 19:31:04 UTC  

didn't see to much combat

2020-09-03 19:31:15 UTC  

It saw no combat

2020-09-03 19:31:21 UTC  

Possible 1 engagement and that's it

2020-09-03 19:31:24 UTC  

No

2020-09-03 19:31:47 UTC  

it only killed a panzer of some sort

2020-09-03 19:31:57 UTC  

It's not even confirmed if it killed anything

2020-09-03 19:32:19 UTC  

there's just a high chance it did kill a tank and then went back to its base

2020-09-03 19:32:24 UTC  

it's great duel where it went face to face with a king tiger is greatly exaggerated

2020-09-03 19:33:19 UTC  

yeah

2020-09-03 19:33:30 UTC  

which is what i was saying

2020-09-03 19:33:38 UTC  

yeah

2020-09-03 19:34:56 UTC  

nope

2020-09-03 19:38:54 UTC  

Yamato was successful for its role

2020-09-03 19:38:59 UTC  

Just the wrong war

2020-09-03 19:41:29 UTC  

American battleships didn't either
