Sherman 76 is lackluster

I don't get why you'd give a fast tank such low accuracy on the move.
I'd rather it hit once in a while on the move, even if they have to lower the damage for balance than to have this fast, fun to play with tank, that can't hit shit on the move.
What is this unit's role supposed to be currently? If I'm using it wrong, I'd like to know. I don't see any benefit over a normal Sherman if you want to press the advantage and kill some inf whilst not being totally useless vs a PzIV, and compared to a late game Jackson/Scott lolacoaster of a build, it's total crap.
Thanks guys.

The reason why its so shit is because it has 640hp and 160 armor with standard 40 range. You will have to expose yourself to enemy fire because of standard range, and you have no chance to deflect at gun shots meaning you will die to 4 shots every time. At this point its better to get 75mm with its potent HE shells and cover it with jackson.
76mm is pointless. I suggest doing what top players are doing and ignore 76mm existence.

It's definitely not the US best option, but they aren't bad.

Although there is a problem with the 76 not having a designated role because HE sherman shells OP and jackson OP. Both AT and AI get cover very well. So yes it lacks well defined roll.

Wish they had just replaced it with the E8 straight away (and therefore add dozer blades to Rifle Company as well)

HVAP shells have TD accuracy and higher pen than any other sub premium medium ingame. At 130(?) fuel, HVAP with TD accuracy and 165 max range pen? Sign me up. USF is noteably the most cost efficient tank to kill power ingame, but you cannot deter infront of AT guns like you can with certain other tanks.
Unfortunately it doesnt matter cuz the tank still gets pooped on by an OKW p4 due to the slow rate of fire with HVAP

u know if u are soo much bothered by the realod u could use the normal shoot vs p4 , u pen less but shoot faster (still better than the p4, more pen and faster reload), i would prefer the AP round for consistency (more accuracy and pen) for 0.5 more sec reload than p4

+1
It's normal shells reload really fast though, and still have pretty decent pen.
Slightly offtopic but I wish e8 was better/in a better commander though.

S76 is not bad, just there are better options (but expensive) to deal with axis armor.

This won't happen.
Tf not even that would work
1 tiger >>>>>>>> 1 jackson.
And I wouldn't be relying on that 57 to pen a tiger or KT anytime soon.

Comets are already limited to 0 by virtue of being weak.
We have a deal.

If jacksOPns werent as good at they are,
Dont buff (axis tank) because panther is good enough.
Imo i think 76 sherman is ok.
