    The M4A3 76 W in War Thunder is the last and best of the 76mm Shermans in War Thunder. The Easy 8 is an excellent all rounder. The 76mm cannon is efficient enough at being able to penetrate everything lower than its battle rating and with the short stabilizer, the gun handling is pretty good. The problems with this tank are the enemies you're dealing with at 5.7 to 6.7 are pretty mean machines in comparison.
    The M4A3 (76) W often faces King Tigers and IS-2 meaning you need to hunt for a weak spot where they can just literally shoot you anywhere. Often, the King Tiger is basically immortal to frontal fire from your gun. The Sherman isn't really fast enough to flank either, meaning you really need to win the first few engagements or get lucky to get to a good spot on a map to take people by surprise.
    This really is a tank that is very difficult to master. However, the rewards are sweet if you do manage to pull it off. One of my favourite medium tanks along with the T-34-85 and the Panther series.
    Sherman is always a good time, so long as you aren't full uptiered! :)

      @@elijahmontgomery4146 or, he can be completely oblivious to what makes a tank good or bad.
      he considers tanks that dont suit his playstyle, bad tanks. if he took this tank up into city map cap points where it really shines, its an amazing tank. its a brawler, it uses that stabilizer it has to win the "who can shoot first" competition it gets into every time you round a corner, unless an enemy was already stopped and facing it in which case anything loses that.
      but odd considers playing the objective to be a BAD thing. so he doesn't ever do it until after the initial fight over them has concluded and he can pick off stragglers.
      so his playstyle favors tanks with big guns that can kill at range and have the speed to get to positions before everything else. and this tank doesn't do THAT specific task very well.

      problem is that shermans are stupidly hard to balance thanks to their stabs. that thing alone is the reason why theyre all 1.0 br above their equal variants to other nations.
      as such the simple solution is to remove their stabs and massively drop their brs. but they wont, because the community would also bitch about the stabs being removed.

      turns out as usual when the enemy team is braindead and the player using the tank is good, it still works. Thats the tragedy of the entire US tree and its why 95% of it is over-br'd. Enemies are retarded and the players using the vehicle are either getting lucky with that stupidity of the enemy or are good and taking full advantage of it. Not hard to do well when who you're shooting at acts like you have a cloaking device.

      "In the case of the Easy Eight it's like a sherman firefly but better in every single way to the point the lowest it could go is 5.3"
      Better in every single way? The Sherman firefly has a round with 190mm of pen, it has similar mobility to the M4A2 (76) at 5.3, armour is straight up irrelevant, bar the stabiliser they are practically the same, and yet the M4A2 is 5.3 whilst the Firefly is 4.7..... The M4A3 (76) being 5.7 makes no sense to me especially when the Vk 3002 sits at 5.0.
      "With very few exceptions all US tanks are good"
      That is straight up not true, at low tier - mid tier the US has some pretty good tanks. Rank 5 is meh as is rank 6, rank 7 is good, wouldn't touch rank 8 with a 10 foot pole.

    The irony, of course, is that the Easy 8 and all Shermans, for that matter, had better monility that the T-34, which didn't really go faster than about 15 mph because it was so difficult to change gears. The drivers carried hammers to beat on the gear shifter.

    @DrSpoon-nd4uj 2 місяці тому +2

    In honesty, I actually prefer the Easy Eight Sherman at its BR than the M4A3E2 (76) Jumbo, While it's true that the Jumbo is "considerably" better, the normal Sherman is much faster, going about 26 MPH, (About 42 KPH for those who use Kilometers) and can accelerate surprisingly fast, I've actually kept up with Hellcats until they go past my top speed, people just don't realize how much more mobile a normal Sherman is compared to a Jumbo

    • @fire_drake12.arc.24
      @fire_drake12.arc.24 2 місяці тому

      thats because the 76mm jumbo is a 5.7 tank sitting at 6.3 and its a massive pile of shit now because its so horrendously over-br'd. Id rather use a tank with less armor and the same gun at that BR because it plays exactly the same without the massive SP cost of a "heavy" tank, when your armor in a normal sherman is just as effective as a jumbos armor at 6.3. Because turns out being lol-penned in the Jumbo is no different than being lol-penned in a normal sherman besides costing more SP to get the same experience. The jumbo is just a slower, heavier, more expensive light-medium tank at 6.3, everything can UFP you there, even at 5.7 but its usually atleast ONLY Germany that can at 5.7.

    You know the Easy 8 is the best Sherman in the game when it Gaijin has to nerf it 2 times. 3 times actually its just that one of the nerf was reverted. It had it's engine horsepower nerfed to 450hp few years ago, only just recently it was reverted back to 500hp. It had it's turret rotation speed nerf'd from 24deg/s to 21deg/s on an aced crew. All other Sherman variants have a 24deg/s turret rotation speed. Then it was moved from 5.3 to 5.7 where it constantly faces Tiger II's and other big heavy tanks where it feels like every 6.7 match you have to play the sweatiest you've ever played in your life. Yet somehow it still works. Had 2 nukes in it just yesterday, only had the time drop 1.

    • @ThatGuyOrby
      @ThatGuyOrby 2 місяці тому +3

      also its APCR shell ahistorically underperforms by about 50mm last I checked (should be roughly 240 at point blank, while if I recall correctly in game it's 190). With historical flat pen it'd be fine where it is because it would actually be able to penetrate the Tiger 2 H's turret face. The trade off would be APCR's awful damage.

    Idk why every youtuber (no matter the skill level) always equips the track armor. If you're getting shot then you're doing something wrong, take off the track armor to have better mobility (although lower top speed) than the T-34. Also bring a lot of ammo, bring atleast 5-6 smoke shells and 5 HE, APCR is still stupid for the 76, all your ammo is on the floor in the same place so it doesn't really matter how much ammo you bring.

      @@bulldog71ss33 The M26 Pershing is the poster child of that being true.
      90mm T33 AP was designed to replace M77 and M82 Shot because they were considered insufficient to defeat the Panther (could still UFP within 300m and 500m respectively).
      This was an issue because this was one of the vehicles the US was employing the M26 to defeat in the first place.
      T33 AP in live fire testing proved capable of penetrating the Upper Glacis of a captured Panther reliably out to 1km.
      In game it not only can't penetrate the Panther even at point blank but also performs worse than the shells it was designed to replace.
      To UFP the Panther with the M26 in game you need to use M304 APCR within 200m which, historically speaking, should actually perform markedly worse against the Panther than T33 AP but should still penetrate at 600m.
      In game it's basically just a somewhat better Tiger 1 with more obvious weak spots.
      Now with it's main purpose for existing not actually working in game what BR does Gaijin give it...?
      6.7
      A full BR above the most comparable tank in another nation's line up and the same BR as objectively better versions of itself to include the M26E1, T26E5, and T26E1-1.
