Sherman AP fails to penetrate Tiger rear armor

Is Sherman only good as AI weapon with its machine gun and HE rounds?

It feels so absurd, but sherman cant even penetrate tigers rear armor. Is it ok? Even a single T-34 can circle around a Tiger a do a decent rear armor damage, but Sherman feels like an overprised light tank.

Sherman AP has exact same penetration, better accuracy and faster firing than T34/76. Next.

I find it funny that if a medium tank is ONLY GOOD at squad wiping, but can't beat up a heavy tank; then it sucks.
It should at least leave a scratch on its rear armor dont you think, but my shots bounced off its REAR armor, come on

I watched one of your games in which you were agressive with shermans and traded shermans in 2 for 1 ratio VS OKW jagdpanzer becouse your shots were bouncing off.
I really dont get it. In coh1 sherman was a decent tank, but in coh2 its a piece of crap.

Besides that, you could have gotten just unlucky, and I think the Tiger has pretty good rear armor anyway in comparison to its front. Tanks like the Elephant in contrast, have almost no rear armor in comparison to their front.

Sherman penetration 120.0/100.0/80.0
18/12 = 66 %
You just were unlucky.

Me trading shermans for Jagd was more about me knowing that letting OKW build up armor is a surefire way to lose the game, so to prevent that I was happy to take the slight MP trade in exchange for killing Barton's fuel reserves. Worked out fine if you ask me, even when I did a massive mistake of losing two shermans to some ultrashrekked up volks which normally would end the game I still got back into it because Barton had spent all his fuel on those jagds.
Sherman is very good, atleast in 1vs1. In 2vs2 and beyond it has massive survivability problems due to everything guaranteed penetrating it on axis side.

Only variant is Sherman versus infantry and AT gun versus armors.

How did you know that Barton would buy another jagd?

In contrast to OP's thread title I've had 2 shermans run straight up to a Panther and penetrate it at close range from the front.How about my M4 sherman HE round that killed a Panther from the front. Dat RNG.

He didn't have flakhq until really lategame, it would've been obvious if he started trying to get a panther. And without a single vehicle on his side it would've been fairly trivial to push him entirely off the map.

If you forgot to use AP rounds? Send a replay.
I was AP rounds as my sherman was newly produced fresh and just hit the field while Tiger rolled over the spawn point looking for Jacksson but finding nothing turned back and thats when my sherman grabbed his ass
