coldmeter Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Just out of curiosty and because and I haven't got the foggiest idea about US heavy metal. What is US armour like at this stage of the war? Is it good with bad points, bad with some good points or all bad. How do they measure up to the German armour of the time, Mk IV for instance? What about killing them, will a 75mm take care of just about anything they can field? Cheers lads, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 The Sherman is good. About equal with the Panzer IV, but much better then the Panzer III. The 50L60 really struggles against it (as it does against the Grant/Lee). The 75L48/43 however slices either of them, but these tanks are still not the bulk of the force until Italy comes round. The US 75 will go through the Panzer III and the Panzer IV at reasonable to impressive distances without too much trouble. The 37 on the Stuart and Grant/Lee turret however struggles to penetrate, and even if it does, struggles to do the job on killing the tank. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingknives Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 M10s are available in increasing numbers throughout '43. Long 75s will KO any tank through any plate in the US inventory 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
