Thatās pretty cool, I like the history portion
Well, its a Sherman with a Pershing gun - instead of the real M36 Jackson being a M10 with a Pershing gun.
should have somewhat better armor than a regular M36 Jackson right?

i mean it depend on what chassis it using i guess look like a jumbo one to me (i have no tank knowledge so take it with a grain of salt)
nah thatās a regular Sherman Chassis, historically speaking there were only a few Jumbos ever made, some got the 76mm gun, but nothing bigger than that.
I would doubt that a jumbo with all the extra heavy armor could support the 90mm gun without overreaching its weight limitations.
The Ersatz was used during the Battle of Bulge
Hopefully one day we get proper Battle of the Bulge maps, and you know not just Hurtgen forest like it says on the tin
Maybe one tiny event for Battle of The Bulge :
Long time ago in another universe called war thunder was promised one Stug IV so maybe we can add it here as a event reward
For the Germans:
And for the Allies:
Not to be greedy for a Comet maybe Tank, Cruiser, Challenger (A30):

I always see people here saying that it wouldnāt be good if we had bushes on treads in this game
But I donāt really see the issue. Itās historical and with 1000 ways to die in this game a tankās life can be measured in minutes
Plus camouflage is only really good for the first shot, because youāre spotted from that point after. At best camouflage protects you for just a few moments

If there are no good shells, why donāt I play fireflies or American m10
It really overprice just for a re-skin tank
I donāt know. Rather save my money for the next OP CAS airplane. Itās obvious tanks are just a meme in this game. You want to win, you play infantry or CAS.
I like these tanksā¦in warthunder
In enlisted im more interested in tanks better suited for anti infantry or seige tanks 
That opinion screams one thing to me, a fan of a certain well-known major.

No. Itās just the truth after playing for over two years. Tanks are fun, yes. But to win games you need boots pushing points or defending and CAS planes to bomb high value targets with no issues tanks have. Like LOS
butā¦ arent the high value targets the tanks?

Thatās completely wrong. It all depends on maps. Good luck with planes on urban maps.
Tanks definitely do have place in this game. And unlike planes, youāre actually body on battlefield and you are able to face enemy persistently and nonstop
Planes can only do one or two aoe attacks and then theyāre on cooldown for more than minute because they have to go replenish ammo.
If enemy is truly aggressive, both vehicle types are kinda useless. In other case, both vehicle types are good enough to have significant impact on outcome of battle.

And they are usually useless vs a good CAS player. Because he/she has complete command of battlefield. While tanks only have a certain area.
Its LOS vs TOT (time on target). Maybe jet planes will tip the balance with ability to rearm fast, but right now its quite balanced re air/ground.
Sure. Im just saying that, CAS main purpose (IMO) is to control the tanks. If they dont do that or one of the ārare fighter pilotsā is cancelling CAS, Tanks can cause alot of damage. bit of a trinity going on here.
