    The early means the haul. The rounded bit on the haul is from the for versions of the Sherman when they used a cast/ cast composite haul. The later versions of the Shermans used welded hauls and got rid of the rounded bits. The first welded Shermans had a front plate angle of 60 degrees, the high degree of caused the hatches for the driver and co driver/ bow gunner to be more exposed. They later lowered the angle to about 30 and that is what makes the notable more M4 Sherman such as the one from Fury

      Also, according to US army after action evaluations, unlike common thinking the wet ammo stowage did not stop ammo fires, explosions but stopped fragmentation from reaching the ammo. It was more notable to the higher survivability to the wet ammo Shermas was that the ammo was moved the floor of the haul from the prior positions over the sponsons/ on the side of the tank. And US ammo was more notable to burning slightly longer before expoldeing

    Having played MACE the 50 cals are so insanely hard to deal with... I honestly dread facing US in conquest mode because of those in particular. For M1 Garands I don't generally notice it so much because everything shreds infantry as is, and I focus more on effectively using armor.

    • @theShermanator
      @theShermanator  9 місяців тому +1

      In the German missions, you HAVE to use tons of infantry (without spoiling anything) you well, don't have a ton of armor, and you definitely can't replace any armor losses easily if at all. So you push infantry up, and they get obliterated by M1 Garands and .50s

    I can definitely relate to why you stopped playing PvP. As time goes on I find myself playing only solo or co-op vs AI in games, because I don't want to stress and sweat too much. I like a challenge but PvP can be not fun sometimes. It's not just about winning or losing, either. I played a PvP match in Gates of Hell not long ago and lost, but I had a lot of fun despite that.
    I have found PvP can be a lot of fun in a less stressful way if you create campaign like scenarios but in PvP. So say you give defenders time to prepare a defense, and then the other team has to assault it. Set some rules before hand on what either side can use or not use. It feels less serious, but is more fun than vs AI due to how dynamic playing against a human is.

    I know what you mean regarding the Willie Pete. They seem extremely strong, which is fine but then they should carry a lot less of this ammo type. I can imagine it could get very annoying fighting US in PvP. And the fact that the AI is so reluctant using it themself, creates a strong imbalance when you play US yourself vs the AI against you.

    Having to guess the direction of attack when defending is by far my least favorite thing about conquest. It makes no sense that a prepared defensive position wouldn't know which direction a bunch of enemy armor is coming from. Half the fun of defense missions is building your defenses!

    As for WP. I thinn best balance for it will have to be small supply of ammunition. Also AOE smaller. I get realistically it was just an absolute nightmare . However, balance wise theyll probably have to tone it down. Either AOE or quantity of supply.

    You are probably right that there us too much WP. I thijk its a form of balancing in that. Every german seemes to have a panzerfaust and german tanks out class US tanks very quickly. I would hate to see WP removed but sure less if them in the tank would probably be ok. Im so looking forward to this exoantion. Its sad that Call to arms is being taken out of the mix becaude it judt means that Call ti arms is likely done. No more modern stuff will be coming. Which is sad. Sure ww2 is amazing anf they can still add the Brits and jalaneese into gates of hell. The oacific theater next would be anazing, but id love ti see them do some more modern stuff wuth gates of hell too. Welk thats ok, they will just have to taje my money for all upcoming ww2 stuff instead. 😊 great video sherm. Thanks for blazing out this series and getting me super excited for liberation the DLC

      You can use it as either an obscuring agent AND an incendiary agent against enemy troops and vehicles.
      It's only technically a war crime if you knowingly use it against civilians or have knowledge that its use will explicitly result in undue amounts of civilian casualties.

    The use of Willy Pete is not a war crime unless it is used purposefully in a civilian area (Towns, cities etc) WITH the INTENT to cause civilian harm.
    You can use it as an obscuring agent AND an incendiary munition against enemy troops and light vehicles... even in aforementioned civilian area.
    The "Rules of War" are left intentionally vague as to not actually hinder one's ability to fight.

    I agree wholeheartedly that facing Americans is very difficult and different from facing Russians or Germans.
    It becomes extremely adamant when you play valour where you face polish, British and other forces. But when the Americans are the foe, the difficulty increases drastically. They have such an early advantage because of said M1 grand and reliable 50.cal.
    I do however want to express gratitude for another fun aspect that has been added to the game, since it changes combat scenarios which makes each scenario the more interesting. Can't wait to play the new dlc!

      Yeah, there are lots of Germans that survived the war that said fighting the soviets was brutal, but the soviets generally had a very small selection of tactics at the unit level, and thus if you knew what you were doing it wasn't hard to escape.
      When it came to fighting the Americans, you really didn't know what they were going to do, and chances are you were going to either die or surrender after they either rush your position, blanket your entire position with mortar or artillery fire, or call an airstrike directly on where you are hiding.

And IDK to what degree he is responsible for the accuracy in this game, but I know he's on the development team.
      I am using it, because it's funny/cinematic to use, kind of braindead to use while commenting on what's going on.
      My point about it being that 10 shells seems like a lot, that's all. It's apparently not even fully functioning vs tanks/armor but I'm worried how it might work, seeing as fires in GEM engine games are insanely strong against vehicle engines.
