This goes well with your avatar
I don't care what people have been saying, M6A1 is fun. I think because I finally have a fucking 76.2mm and not yet another 75.

[QUOTE=Doom14;46912697]HE rounds are pretty much useless against anything but halftracks and trucks unless you're using a legit howitzer.
Basically, if it doesn't say "152" on the tin, or it's not the Su-122 or M4A3 105 Sherman - don't bother. On small cannons/auto-cannons, HE is good for planes. Historically, it was for light targets/infantry which we don't have a whole lot of right now.[/QUOTE]
I save a few HE rounds for trucks and Kursk arty positions
AP rounds actually kinda suck against flak trucks so it can be worth it carry 3-5 if you have room

My Motherland calls.
God fuck the players in this game so much. I spawn in my Kv-2 high explosive potato thrower and when leaving spawn accidentally spin an m22 around (stupid weird track Collison models) . Locust gets pissed so I apologize but him and his M2A4 friend start shooting me and somehow manage to wound my gunner so I fling a round at the M2A4 and give him a tank sized hole in his hull.
Everyone is pissed and blaming me now and a Su122 commissars me right in the ammo rack.
God damnit.
If they shoot first, let them kill you, then go for revenge/blame.
It sounds bad, but the way the terrible game population works is, whoever dies first is usually seen as the victim.
Speaking of weird collisions:

I had a T-34 spawn [I]inside [/I]of my M6. It got really awkward and steamy, but eventually he pulled out and we had a laugh about it before getting to the battlegrounds a minute late.

I see your T-34 in your M6 and raise you a T-50 inside my SMK, note that having him there didn't slow my tank down at all and he died when i hit a tree.

is the M15 glitched when taken out for a test drive? It says you get 200 rounds for the 37mm but Im only getting 5 clips of 10 rounds (50 total).
I've made my self a promise not to play russians until it's the last nation left that i don't have a tier5 vehicle. But everyone is talking about the BT-7 and i'm starting to have some second thoughts

Main issue with it is that it's pretty much just worse than the first 76-armed Sherman in every possible way.

This, really
Its effectively less armored than the Sherman since it has 40mm thick sponsons on the sides of the hull, which contain the ammo and fuel (A++ tank design), and can easily be hit from the front. Its also slower than the Sherman and is absolutely gigantic

I'd take the first Jumbo any day of the week, shitty gun and all
Got myself a KV-1B and somehow it's amazing.
Should I ever use HEAT ammo? Currently having a blast with APCR penetrating ammo racks everywhere.

I actually really like the first Jumbo - once I got the APHE it became one of my favourite tanks. Most of the points I get in it are from being an impenetrable wall of freedom and acting as a bullet sponge for my team.
I just had a game on Kursk where I bee-lined to the single cap point (it was already capped by a YOLO BT-7 guy) and sat there in the Jumbo absorbing fire from Tigers, Panthers, Panzer IV, completely cockblocking their attempts to get to the point even though I didn't really pose that much of a threat to them. Getting 3k points just for being shot at is ridiculous.
As I said, the reason (might be the only) I'm enjoying the M6A1 is that the stock ammo just plain works. Good pen, good APHE. Feels like a godsend after doing 75 Shermans four times in a row. It's somewhat agile, and like many tanks, if you get the first shot in to disable them before they get you - it works great.
Really the only thing I'm not enjoying about it is the fact that it turns like molasses.

wot

The icon is bugged. It's firing the same default ammo as the 76 Shermans, which is APHE.
Or if it's not, it's certainly exploding like it is.

APHE? Surely you mean the APCBC shells? But yea the jumbo is great.

Good gun, but the tank itself is still made of floppy willies in comparison to the Shamone.

Yeah, sorry my bad. Basically the ones that actually have an HE filler in them.
Im very curious to see what the rest of the US premiums are, particularly the rank 4 one

90mm sherman maybe?

Oh yeah, that would totally work
Any advice for the M4a3 (105)? I can't seem to kill anything with it. The HE shells seem pretty ineffective, other than bashing barrels or knocking off tracks. The HEAT is not great either, when it does penetrate it doesn't really fragment well enough to do a lot of damage, especially when relying on howitzer accuracy, it's hard to be precise with it.
I did wait till I unlocked the M4a2 to go with it at the higher BR but with the same 75 cannon, i'm not really having much luck with that either. Going against IS-1 tanks and panthers, the 75 is pretty poop.
Should I just give up and go back to the lower BR shermans and grind out the 76 sherman or am I doing something wrong?
I always thought HE vs a flat surface was the way to go but in one game I was fortunate to have an AI stug to shoot at with the 105 to test, 3-4 HE shells against it's flat side armour did nothing but knock off tracks.

Heres the story that resulted in the 105 Sherman being pretty not-good right now:
1. 105 was broken as fuck when first introduced. Oneshotted everything.
2. BR was jacked up to compensate for super stronk freedom cannon
3. 105 was nerfed hard
4. BR has not yet come back down to the original level
long story short its kinda meh at the moument and you'll probably just want to use the other Shermans until you get more vehicles in the 4.7 BR range.
