Replace the armor piercing shells with Shot SV Mk.1 , now the tank is br5, but it is completely useless due to the peculiarities of the British shells, and the fact that he was not given the right shell.

Given that the developers consider the m4a2 76 to be a competitor to the tiger 2…

not quite, the sherman firefly is able to deal panthers, panzer IV Js, and tigers I ( if not angled ).
but it struggles to pen the king tiger mantlet, damage it’s barrel or go through the bow machinegun in a reliable manner.
which i’m not sure if it’s the actual shell, or the damage models.
edit. actually yeah, it has the wrong sheels since and it cannot go through the sloped armor of panthers…
which with these ones that we got, you need to aim for the turret.
and still struggles a bit when slighlty angled…

Agreed, as a German main with a panther, Sherman firefly’s are rarely a threat compared to jumbos. Definitely need better pin against heavier German armor of the panther up. Honestly feel bad for Churchill players since it’s a crawling matchbox.

Its the old story that people think a high velocity anti tank projectile without explosive filler would deal no noticable damage to a vehicle.
While in reality a penetration alone would create enough shrapnel to shredd some holes into the crew.
Sherman Firefly is heavily underperforming.

It isn’t. It had ability to cut panther lengthwise at any frontal point. Up to 1 km. Pershing did same with T33 round which i posted before. In game, shooting bugged mantlet with chance to kill only MG port (thanks to gajeen’s dameh model) is doubtful possibility
Should be able to penetrate a Tiger1 from the front.
