The USF doesn't need anymore vehicles since the faction is already very powerful and viable.

I'd love to see this as a stock unit, although now that the Sherman has the same AT performance it seems sadly unnecessary.

You don't have do, I mean, you could just leave it on AP. It's about the same effectiveness as the Panzer IV's gun against Infantry.

USF have 76mm EZ8 so what role would it have?
Soviets also have their own 76mm sherman.
That is AA unit and it makes no sense to add it to current USF.

Maybe it's 'cause the Axis players aren't a bunch of forum crybabies, and they keep their cool and fight the uphill battle, unlike some of their "allied" counterparts.

Why don't they replace the 75mm M4A3 with the 76mm M4A3 anyway? Hasn't CoH2 shifted to late 1944-early 1945 now? 75mm M4A3s were basically outdated from mid-1943 onwards and large quantities of them were given the 76mm upgrade. If it was added, maybe increase the fuel cost by 15 fuel and 40 MP or something to accommodate the much improved penetration of the 76?

Because the T-34-85 doctrine, although since 1944 T-34-85 was the main medium tank of the Red Army.

Seems worse to me so I have no idea what you are talking about.

They weren't 'given' the 76mm upgrade, nor was the 76mm an upgrade. The 76mm Sherman variants were considered seperate from 75mm Sherman variants. They were intended to supplement the 75mm. The first 76mm Shermans only reached the US 1st Army in Europe in July, 1944. Even by 1945 75mm Shermans still made up half (sometimes even more than half) of tank battalions.

And considering that the CoH2 timeframe has shifted to late-44 early-45, how is this not a reasonable suggestion? Even 50% or 33% or whatever of THOUSANDS is a lot. USF tech is stuck in 1943 basically, whilst all the goodies were deployed in mid-late 1944..

An M4A3(75)W isn't exactly 1943 tech....
Nor is an M4A3E8 lol
Look, the 76 could maybe be put somewhere but imo it shouldn't replace the 75mm.

Uh, USF is late 1944. The US Army was very stubborn and refused to accept the 76mm Shermans as a replacement despite superior AT performance. In their minds, Shermans weren't supposed to fight Tanks, they were supposed to fight Infantry and Fortifications, and for this the Army kept using low velocity guns because of their superior HE round. They believed that Tank Destroyers were supposed to kill tanks, although this is poorly represented because the USF Tank Destroyers in CoH2 lack their real-life advantages.
The US Army didn't change their minds until losses incurred during the Ardennes Counteroffensive which were the result of Tank Destroyers being too few and Shermans being incapable of fighting Panzers efficiently. It was after this that Eisenhower finally gave the order to cease production and delivery of 75mm Shermans and send only 76mm Shermans.
