In real life this anti tank emplacement was used by allied forces from 1943-1945.
This gun could penetrate up to 147 mm of armour with APCBC, 200mm of armour with AP, and could penetrate 275mm of armour with APDS.
Compare this to the m1 57mm cannon and you will find the latter severely lacking.
The m1 can only penetrate 132mm of armour with AP.
Edit: The m1’s APDS could only penetrate 177mm of armour.
It is my recommendation that the 17 pounder gun replaces the m1 at BR’s 3-5.
This would allow us to defeat German tanks more efficiently, by bringing us to par with their anti tank capabilities.

BR V? Maybe. BR 3? Very funny joke

Anything higher than BR 4 doesn’t matter too much for Matchmaking since it 1-3, 1-5 or 3-5. But i don’t think it should be in the 1-5 bracket although i believe the 75 mm Pak is. That is why it says BR 3-5. which is the highest tier of match making.
I’d be happy with the M2 75mm instead, it would have less AP but better HE and be more comparable to the German 75mm Pak. I think a lot of problems have occurred when merging the factions since the Russians and Germans were the only factions to have a late war campaign. I’m just grateful the the allies don’t have to fight the Russians and their IS tanks.
17 Pounder was in game, but it was removed, it can be found in the files, but every time you try to view it, the game crashes.
