The_Rooster Posted December 14, 2001 Share Posted December 14, 2001 I have an ongoing dispute with a friend that says there where no 105mm Shermans in WWII. I have seen some material on this tank in a book on military hardware, and it exists within CMBO. ( I trust the gang at Battlefront that they got this right.) What i am wondering is there a website that details this tank and when it was released and where it saw action. I had to be told i am wrong when i know i am right! Thanks in advance.

Andreas Posted December 14, 2001 Share Posted December 14, 2001 Okay, I tried to post, but somehow or other Netscape hates me. Do a search for AFV Database in Google. All will be revealed. [ 12-14-2001: Message edited by: Andreas ]</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shipmonkey25 Posted December 14, 2001 Share Posted December 14, 2001 You might need the explain to your friend the difference between a 105mm antitank gun and a 105mm howitzer, that might be his reason for confusion. He could be thinking of Isreali M50 Shermans with the 105mm high velocity guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he did he probably shot up the hill I used to live by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
