By April 1944 the entire 21st Army Group was only using M61 APCBC/HE.

Well, here we go, everything (?) with the 75 will get APHE. The Excelsior will probably have to go up to 4.3.

Ideally it should stay at 4.7. It will be annoying if it goes up and breaks my 4.7 Firefly / All premium lineup. But it will probably do better now and get moved up even though it was pretty mid at 4.7.

Victory.

Now is time for 57mm M86 to be added to 6pdrs

Not sure. It will go up in BR and then you have to deal with being a slow vehicle that can hardly pen anything from the front.

But the Cromwell V might be able to do some real damage with it.

Will probably go up a whole BR or more.

Molins is a 6pdr

(Unfortunately the Molins can’t use capped ammo so only AP)

Thank you to all members of the community who backed and contributed to the success of this project, and thank you to the dev team for being open to its implementation even with the vehicles already being in game for so much time.

I’m sure the affected vehicles will see some BR adjustments in the future, but for now let’s just enjoy this long-anticipated victory.

Cromwell V is quickly becoming one of my favourite WW2 tanks to play, while previously it was pretty much bottom of the list.

Now it’s time to pile on the pressure for 6pdr APHE (M86) and finally British low tier will be saved

Doesn’t change the fact that the gulf in performance between APHE and solid shot is completely ahistorical and absurd, but until that is fixed we will have to make do with pushing for APHE wherever possible.

Is there a thread for the British 57 mm problem? We won a battle but not the war, so let’s push this forward.

No thread, is there a bug report? I thought I remembered seeing one, but now I can’t find one.

I found it: 6-pdr APHE
