BPV too Low for the M36 and jumbo

[Heathen1]

The last time I spoke up I kind of stuck my foot in my mouth. No, no that's OK, I do that sort of thing all the time. Lets try this again.

I personally feel the current BPV of the M36 Jackson (117) is rather Low.

According to the book, Sherman by R P Hunnicutt, the M36 first entered the

War in August 44. Further more according to ASL, (witch I Know is only game), it's rarity factor in Aug. 44, was 1.6, dropping to 1.1 in Dec. 44, this would put the M36 BPV at about 250 in Aug. and 175 in Dec. I used the Panther G (late) as a yard stick.

ASL Bpv

BPV of 83 for the M36

83 X 1.6 = 132 Aug 44

83 X 1.1 = 91 Dec 44

BPV of 89 for the Panther G

89 X 1.1 = 98 in 44

using the % difference from 191 Panther in CM

Jackson costs 250 in Aug44 and 175 in Dec 44

I would greatly appreciate any comment that would help me justify paying low BPVs for the M36 as well as the Jumbo 76.

Thanks

Rarity is not factored into BPV. That's not coming until CM2. Right now, it's a calculated value based on unit effectiveness.

Hay Cueball, why is the M10 96 points in July and 102 in Oct.Others to Change in cost

[JoePrivate]

As Cueball said rarity isn't a factor, only unit effectiveness, gun, armor, speed, turret, ammo loadout etc. Look at your M10 example again and you will see it probably has more Tungsten later in '44, hence the higher cost.

Thanks JoePrivate, I didn't notice the lack of specialty rounds before
