usfusf usfusf usfusf I am very confused about the SHERMAN M4A3(76) tank which is provided in the MECHANIZED COMPANY of USF whether it is the SHERMAN EASY8 tank or not since in the production icon during gameplay it shows 'easy eight' next to its text.

and the bulletins I am using for this tank, are these correct bulletin for the SHERMAN TANK provided in the MECHANIZED COMPANY?
Because there is another Commander( RIFLE COMPANY) of USF which provides SHERMAN EASY8 TANK.Are these 2 tanks similiar?

Plz advice and specify. :huhsign: :ph34r:

The M4A3 Sherman is the stock variant, and has toggleable High Explosive shells that don't penetrate tanks but are extra effective against infantry.

The M4A3(76) Sherman in Mechanized swaps those High Explosive shells out for HEAT shells, which are extra effective against tanks.

The Sherman Easy Eight has more health, better armour, and an all-rounder gun that's good against everything but not as effective as the specialised shells the other two get.

M4A3 Sherman bullets will affect the stock Sherman, Easy Eight bulletins will affect the Easy Eight. As far as I know, there aren't any bulletins for the M4A3(76).

This bulletin database should help out

Mechanized company provides the 76mm, which is different than the Easy Eight. Only Rifle Company has the Easy Eight. The easy 8 has a base health of 720 over the standard 640, so it can take another shot before death. It also has 215 armor vs the Sherman 160 so it can bounce more often as well.

None, if i remember correctly the Sherman 76 is a copy of the soviet M4C doctrinal tank and didn't exist in USF loadout at the moment the bulletins were made.

Thus there are no bulletin applicable for this tank.

None of them. It was added to the faction after the bulletins were made.

Not that it really matters but bulletins really don't do much and the best ones are the infantry accuracy ones anyway. Just microtransaction bait.

Grenadier bulletins affect grens, assgrens, and even officer, but sherman bulletins affect only stock sherman. This game has no logic.

IIrc there even was/is a bulletin which actually nerfed your units , because some programmer got confused by a double negative.

Sure thing, but I was just asnwering the question.

It is such a missed flavour opportunity that Relic made a mess of the bulletins.

The rear echelon bulletin which would give 5% cooldown reduction has a multiplier of x1.05 instead of x0.95 :) Which effectively increases the cooldown xD haha.
