Sherman pen was buffed in UKF alpha and it felt a bit too strong IMO.

paper thin armor, reasonably fast and a powerful gun i'd say its worth the tradeoff since axis armor and at can turn that thing into swiss cheese fast

I'm all for US/Soviet gets a better non-doctrinal tank.

US gets a 76mm Sherman varaiant meanwhile soviet gets T-34/85

Meanwhile Axis enjoys panther/KT as stock unit for years.

@Op Give us minium of five (5(V)) good reasons to up gun the sherman, since almost all of these answers you're giving are the same "lol wut" instead of actual ideas or real opinions on these things

It has same pen, armor and performance as Ostheer PIV whilst being cheaper and can pop its crew out to repair its critical damage in a mere second. To add to this it can choose between HE or AP. The tank is far superior in terms of abilities and functionality than the Ostheer PIV.

Stop your nonsense.

Id say remove the halftrack call in from Mechanized company and replace it with an ability to upgrade 75mm Shermans to 76mm Shermans using maybe 60-90 muni per tank or something.

It would make Mechanized somewhat more of a potent commander.

Stop this Sherman/T34 upgrade to 76mm/34-85.
We all know it won't happen.
We all know we don't need it.
There is already E8.

Let's move along.

>Dont need it

Implying that we "need" Tigers, Jagdtigers and Tiger IIs if the Panther is already better than every single basic allied tank.

Thats right, we dont. It just gives more choices in your gameplay, if you perhaps prefer to use heavy tanks and all that.

Hence why i suggest making the 76mm Shermans a part of the Mechanized company in order to make the commander atleast somewhat viable.

This is something I can agree with.

Mind you it would have to loose out on the HE/AP switch and would cost around 70-80 munitions.

The Sherman in real life was superior to the panzer 4 in nearly every way.

The Sherman is already pretty much as good, if not better, than the P4. The ability to pop out the crew and self-repair alone is a big thing.

Want to counter heavy armor? Get the Jackson. Want a powerful medium? Rifle company. Want a tougher tank? Heavy Cavalry. The Sherman should stay as the generalist tank it is.

Greedy USF fanbois, you already got your Pershing and Calliope, but you want more. :p
Pershing is too expensive for its cost, so it's trash. Calliope hmmmm we will see.

give Rangers M14 with scope
Riflemen get 4x M16 upgrade
Change 50 cal to M60
And more shermans? How about introduce m46 Patton. Axis already hogs all the experimental/rare weapons and vehicles as well as the best anti tank
Also add super bazooka

in short: you want to buff Sherman penetration and your idea is the most convoluted way to do it.
