M4 Sherman "Easy Eight"....

[Atlantia39]

Any plans to add the long-barrel version?

Thanks!

The 76mm Shermans weren’t in service at the time of Kursk, and the variant we have in the game is the M4A2, not the M4A3, so no HVSS either. It would also be out of date. In fact, I‘m not sure that the USSR used any Shermans other than the M4A2.

AFAIK soviet Lend Leased shermans were M4A2's only (including long barelled 76mm)

Those M4A2 76w and the T34-85 just saw service in 1944. It sadly dosent match the Timeohrame showed in COP. 

Ibsee it sadly since ot was the reason i haven't bought the Module first cause this Tank Line Up dosent seam very fair compared to the russians with only 75mm Tank Guns and Howitzers. The long 85 or even 76mm Guns are missing. Maybe we see a future Tank Module with a nore fair lineup that dosent go just for some Wehraboos Wet Dreams of shooting easy targets with a Tiger. 

My Dream whould be a Tank Setting for Bodenplatte. With Jumbos, Easy 8,Pershings,Comet,Tiger 2H,Jagdpanther,Jagdtiger,Panther G.

The T-34 and KV-1S both have 76.2mm guns, not 75mms. And I’d say that the lineup reflects what was present at Kursk reasonably well, with the only thing I’d change being to replace the M4A2 with the T-70 - which would be even less balanced.

Yeah. Thats what i mean. In my Eyes Prokorovka wasn't the best idea for introduce tanks to il2. Since numbers and technical problems dosent count in this game. So its nearly allways 1vs1. Amd if you see the current lineup. Except Panzer 3 and 4 is every german tank bether. 

A 1944 Lineup with American 76mm Guns and Soviet 85mm Guns in Su85 and T34-85 and on the german site there whould not be a huge difference. 

Or alternative Western Front or Ostfront 1941. Tiger, Panther and Ferdinand are just absurd for 75mm Shermans and 76mm T34.

Or the lend lease Churchill MK III/IV armed with RO QF 6 pdr.

I'd rather have the Hellcat ? ... or a Jackson even.  I think one Sherman is fine for the game.

 

It's a "sim", not reality, so the following isn't likely to apply:
