I might recreate one M4A3E8 Eazy Eight nicknamed "Battling Demon"
Anyhow, the actual build is really good
Btw, only 50 thousand Shermans were made and not all of them were Easy Eights. And they didn't fight in North Africa; them and all the other 76 variants were introduced much further into the war and were usually only deployed in Europe where the big cats were (as the 76 was the only easy solution to kill a German big cat)
Noice
jumbo
Try making the Fury tank
Very nice
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place: and in the sky
The larks still bravely singing fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

The 105mm was fitted to demolition and support variants, as with all large bore-short barrel guns, is very effective against; infantry, light vehicles, and structures . . . albeit at quite short ranges.
The 105 was never meant to deal with armor, as such, it cannot . . . as it would have to in War Thunder. @Jackie
@Jackie yeah, they had multiple variants of the 75mm, but the 76mm is the high velocity gun mounted on the easy eight. Sure, there were always exceptions, but what makes the easy eight the easy eight is its 76mm and the upgraded armor
@Deloreandude 76.2, actshuallee.
I knew there was a 75 and a 76, but I always figured the 75 was the hi-hello city, guess I'm wrong.
@Jackie 76mm high velocity, actually
If War Thunder taught me anything, those 105s are junk. Long live the 75 hi-velocity
Wow
