Just an idea, what if the Jumbo was replaced with the 105 sherman since i think the jumbo is over performing. its got a bit less armor but a more realistic gun for storming beaches and killing bunkers. i dont know a crazy amount about normandy landings but i cant find any info about jumbos being used in, atleast the initial landings, while the 105 sherman was used.

Because HEAT is very effective on tanks, this can be seen from the M8 Scott, and the 105mm HE is also devastating to infantry.

sorry no not as a replacement
As much as I would like to play such a tank (I love the M8 and Pz3 after all), I think a 105mm gun would be too devastating against infantry.

they could just make is a M4A3 with the 75, it would still be an upgrade from the M4A2
all i want is my PZ 38t armed with a 2 cm
Then they should add the tiger and flak88 for the Germans
Some of that information is off…

ok to 76, but only with HVAP Ammo 
The 88 has good penetration but low tnt. It shouldn’t be overpowering
Would be nice to tell me what is wrong instead of just telling it is…
Ram 2 were hardly built and never used in the war. Besides a few being used as makeshift personnel carriers. M18 hellcat wasn’t present during Normandy, only there in a few numbers. Fireflies at this time were quite rare compared to their counterparts.
The jumbo wasnt used, and most of the tanks they did use didnt even make it to shore and ended up sinking.
It is a list of tanks that where there not a list how many. The firefly got unloaded right after the landing. A few rams where used by the canadians and also convertered rams like kangaroo(transport) and a command variant.
Hellcat where few but they where there.
There where 3000 build and used by the Canadians next to the Sherman on all fronts where the Canadians fought.
As a Canada I really wish that was true, but you are incorrect.
Although a good number were used as kangaroos for transport and many many were used for training in britian.
