u know what, i have time to waste so i will do some test about the bogus claim "worse ai than any Sherman ans p4" both stationary and moving
and with mg or not
ok im back
edit: done some test
the stationary ai is about the same , with a slight edge for the normal p4 (strange i though okw p4 had better scatter might have been rng)
with mgs they equalize but easy 8 is 1-0.5 second slower vs ai
the real test was p4 okw vs easy 8 MOVING
no contest , the easy 8 killed the whole squad while the p4 was about half done and still missing a lot of shoot
conclusion, no easy 8 is not the worse variant for AI for Sherman, standing still is on the same lvl as 76 Sherman , if u are asking "how i though 76 had faster reload" while that is true the 76 has 50% more scatter so it misses more removing the reload advantage
if the unit is moving then it's no contest the best ai medium tank in the game with almost 0 penalty on scatter instead of the normal 1.5
