Why does only the 75mm M4A2 Sherman have 400 rounds of 12.7mm ammo? Please increase it to 600 rounds and also buff the 12.7mm—right now, it’s just an M&M’s dispenser.

According to the wartime technical manual it should only have 300 rounds of .50 - https://radionerds.com/images/1/19/TM_9-731B-1943-Medium-Tank-M4A2.pdf

This is simple—increase its damage and reduce its ammo capacity. Right now, this 12.7 feels worse than regular rifle rounds.

I just KO-ed a Pz-IV with 50 cal.
Reducing the amount of APCBC and increasing the amount of HE is also a good idea.

When it comes to anti-infantry performance, the .50 cal is pretty terrible. Do people really just bleed a little when hit by a 12.7mm round?

Sounds like you can’t aim - 12.7’s and 50 cals mow down infantry in waves, een shooting through wooden buildings, as well as killing planes, trucks and lightly armoured tanks.
you’ve never used a vehicle-mounted M2 Browning？—it can’t even one-shot a 10 HP enemy.Also, it overheats after firing 34 rounds in a row.

huh? try 12,7mm on Premium APC Soviet Halftrack, it does no damage at all… but i will compare it today with the 12,7mm on Sherman…
All .50 cal MGs should one tap infantry, right now Bolt actions kill faster that a .50 BMG machine gun.
I rarely use the .50’s on top of vehicles - too easy to lose your commander… my experience is with engineer-built .50’s and 12.7’s
