M61 shell for US 75mm gun

With a handicapped point on the M1 Bazooka being imaginary 30mm caliber with 60 mm penetration, the US really need some APHE to deal with faraway tanks in the greyzone (especially the Japanese tanks with their almost-unexplodable-via-HEAT ammo racks).

I think it’s time to bring the M61 shell back to the game. Right now every nation has some kind of APHE shell with good penetration value for their tanks at BR 3 while the US tanks are stuck with solid shot AP af if they’re British until they get the 76 mm.

If you’re concerned about balance this should only be applied to tanks with the 40 caliber 75mm (M3 Lee/Grant with their 31 calliber gun can stay as they are now).

I don’t know if they will add it in the near future. A lot of people paid a premium account to polish the Tiger2H so I don’t think they will give the Americans a balanced tank. Most American players mark the tank and avoid it. You can take Piat and destroy his cannon from a distance. If he gets out of the gray zone, he won’t survive long. TNT is the best.

If you take the radio operators, you can put a smoke wall in front of him. You can stay behind and keep blowing smoke in front of him.

If you want to destroy the German tanks, look at the maps and where they appear. You can put anti-tank mines on the road. Or play as the Germans, download maps, pick up a German tank and mark where you appear. In these places, you will later lay mines for the Americans. The best way to learn against the Germans is to play for the Germans. Mines will remain on the road until the end of the game or until they explode. Even in the gray zone.

My idea for balancing is letting the British Shermans keep their garbage slug AP, but the American Shermans get to have APCBC

US 75mm with APHE is long overdue.
