u expect me to read all this ?
Thoroughly!
There will be a test!
Tested (only by the US?), but not adopted.
A chode locust looks very weird
It’s technically compatible with every 37 mm so that is enough for its inclusion for US vehicles.
Here’s even a report for the [US missing 57 mm APDS] (actually ammo interchangeability, but also has sources for the APDS)(Community Bug Reporting System)
You know what’s weird? No British Locust.

Yes I think it’s the compatibility that’s limited its introduction to the game, we’d start crying for it on everything.
Like the way that fuzed M61 APC is compatible with the M2, M3 and QF 75 mm guns!

How’s it weird? The British were the only ones to use the Locust operationally.
Because the British still don’t have one in-game.
Weird that we don’t have it
Just like Base M4A4, M4A2(76) think thats the one we used most, T14, T18E2, TT Mustangs, Greyhound, P-400 etc
All Majorly UK operated vehicles, or UK started Projects

Google isn’t helping much, but from what I could find, the UK got more 76mm M4A1s than A2s. 1,330 vs 5 from what I can find.
With 5 being the number of A2s you guys got, more likely to get that from a commonwealth that used them in numbers.
Yeah - firing US standard 75mm with a slightly modified 3" AA gun cartridge - apparently the cartridge was just necked down from 76.2mm (ie 3") to 75mm for the projectiles and the breech was modified (for the necking down I guess).
The 77mm HV in the Comet was then this gun firing 17 pdr projectiles, which were 76.2mm of course. So the cartridge didn’t need necking down any more and it used standard 3" AA gun breech mechanism
i may have been getting the A2 confused as the one we used the least
I swear I’m dyslexic sometimes. Read his comment very wrong.
No it got accepted
3 years we’ll get it
M4A2 hvss used by canadian after WWII for training purpose, then used by the reserve.
Some shameless self-promotion:
M4A2E8: Out of the 76mm Sherman, the UK could get its the best and the worst. Best as in it’ll fit nicely in the 5.3 line-up(which, if you have premiums and events, is one of the best line-ups), worse as in it’s both foreign operated(unlike the A1 76s they could get) and C&P(unlike others), a setup hated by many UK players. It also didn’t see combat and just stayed at home, unlike its brother.
M4A3E8: This one has my favour, but wouldn’t have a line-up. It saw combat and was modified, even if most are minor in WT terms, bar the 200+ shells it could bring. Making it a bit better pick in most people’s eyes, but still not great.
Note: Yes, those are the names Canada called them by, no, I don’t know why.

Or just British Sherman IIA’s (M4A1 76mm).
i’d rather to see a 5.3 M4A2 (76) with a lineup than a 5.0 M4A1(76) without a lineup personally,
I want the Sherman II DD.
