"Variants without the M4 designation but built on the M4 medium chassis (While some began on the M3 chassis, some subvariants were switched to the M4 chassis during production. These are the models listed here):

105mm Howitzer Motor Carriage M7B1 - self-propelled 105 mm Howitzer Motor Carriage (HMC) based on the M4A3 Sherman chassis.
155mm Gun Motor Carriage M12 - self-propelled 155 mm Gun Motor Carriage (GMC).
Cargo Carrier M30 - Cargo Carrier (an M12 with crew and ammunition space in lieu of the gun).
155mm Gun Motor Carriage M40 - self-propelled 155 mm GMC (Either M1A1 or M2 gun) based on the M4A3 (HVSS) chassis.
8in Howitzer Motor Carriage M43 - self-propelled 8 inch HMC (standardized post-World War II).
3in Gun Motor Carriage M10 - tank destroyer based on the M4A2 Sherman chassis.
3in Gun Motor Carriage M10A1 - Same as the M10, but based on the M4A3 Sherman chassis.
90mm Gun Motor Carriage M36 - tank destroyer based on M10A1 hull (M4A3 chassis); standard model.
90mm Gun Motor Carriage M36B1 - tank destroyer based on M4A3 Sherman hull and chassis; expedient model.
90mm Gun Motor Carriage M36B2 - tank destroyer based on M10 hull (M4A2 chassis, diesel); expedient model."

Luftwaffe Supply is the better support for OKW, dat 16 minute King Tiger.

The Sherman appears in the game 3 times:
M4A3 75mm US Army
M4A3E8 US Army
M4A2 76mm USSR

You forgot (since we're going with chassis here):

M10
M36
Priest
Bulldozer

So as far as the USF goes, their tanks are either Shermans or Stuarts (Stuart and Scott)

You know mate, if you don't like the fact that your 57mm tends to bounce use it's ap rounds, same with the jackson, the us at get's very good with more vet. The bazooka is a easy spamable weapon, but i agree it't too weak. The whole problem with buffing it is that you could make even better blobs but that's not the topic here. That the jackson can't take many shots is true, but use it's range, smoke, the at nades you get with vet1 to deal with a tiger and use your high damage potential. And don't forget the m20 mines.

Well make up your mind, does USF float ammo for P-47s or do they use their AP rounds and M20 mines?

Add to that BARs no longer being pointless, and P-47 is going to be either a huge sacrifice or a very late game only appearance.

I don't think the Beta imported your graphics settings from the live version, make sure they're the same before you draw performance conclusions.
