Mechanize would be OK IF:
- Give back bulldozer.
- recall ROF nerf, If not, buff MG hull, AP shell anti inf power.
WC-51 completely nerfed, cal rifleman balanced, combine arm rework which is harder to work in 1v1 and teamgame.
Like everyone said, why bother a m4 76mm when it cant be unity ?. Why bother M4 75mm when it cant update bulldozer. Why bother picking mechanize because in the end M36 is still best solution.

Besides B4 why was it that every single patch the mod team released had extremely game breaking German units that had to be hot fixed while no such game breaking units existed for any of the allied factions. Especially at the level of OPness that some of these german units had.

For example (one of many) they nerfed Allied air strikes yet made Sector Assault (OKW JLI commander) so broken that the planes would track you from the other side of the map deleting your entire army yet Airborne P47 tracking was too strong and had to be removed (basically more nerfs for USF).

JLI Terminators needing to be hotfixed

Sturmtiger deleting units from fog of war

Everyone can see through the hypocrisy at this point.

Could you imagine if Raid Sections for UKF were at JLI level when JLI were reworked. Instead we get mediocre trash and have to settle with that like the 76mm Sherman.

I think these are fair enough points but I still think OP's original point stands. (At this point it's pretty pie in the sky to think a unit rework will happen). "Medium Tank that's slightly better than stock M4A3 at beating P4s" just isn't a strong selling point.

Pre-nerf Mechanized was mostly used for Dodge Truck pressure and Dozer Shermans as far as I can remember. Meanwhile the ROF was the only real thing that made the 76MM somewhat attractive since it made up for the lack of HE shells when you weren't using HVAP (do people even use the HVAP on 76MM?). 76MM needs some semblance of AI perks otherwise you might as well get a Jackson if you want to tame P4s. This is even more true now that Mechanized's power level was nerfed pretty hard is other areas.

TL/DR I don't think a slight buff to 76MM's standard shell will put it over the top given how the rest of Mechanized was nerfed if it's going to be one of the main reasons you pick the doctrine.

The decision to nerf mechanized was correct the same way the decision to nerf Ostruppen was correct and that had nothing to do with any conspiracy but with the fact that the mechanized vs Ostruppen much up become boring.
(weather the commanders have been overnerf or lack utility is another story or are badly designed)

All that is rather irrelevant to the 76mm though.
