the 75's could as well

why do u think the gun was chosen

what

76 could penetrate the front of a panther

and the 17pdr could go through the front of a tiger

it had great anti tank and in early war Africa was the best fielded tank thanks to its punchier 75

so could the 76mm

the 17pdr was cramped inside the 75mm turret

the 76mm lacked enough explosive mass to deal with infantry

yeah and the 76 was american

yes the 17pdr is British

Only the 75

The 76 had little to no effect with HE

either the 17pdr or 76 had no HE round iirc

Just the way the gun worked

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

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

m62 and m61 being more common on 76's

the Americans did

the 17 pdr was more for penetration

but that's what the 75mm Shermans were for

they would never have a platoon of just fireflys

yeah

yeah

but once again the main shell apcbc was great shell

the m48?

those are completely different eras

oh the m46 did struggle in korea

the m26 was late ww2 and korea

it did the best out of the m46 and m4a3e8

yeah

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

yes the t26e1

super pershing

eh

not really

it was more or less a propaganda machine

didn't see to much combat

It saw no combat

Possible 1 engagement and that's it

No
