  • The 76mm upgrade for Shermans grants it a superior main cannon, featuring improved accuracy, penetration, and scatter over the default 75mm cannon.

Trivia

  • This unit used to have the High-Explosive Rounds ability. This was replaced with Keep Them Firing! in the 1.7.0 July 16 2024 patch. Archive: High-Explosive Rounds: Active ability. After activation, for a lengthy duration the Sherman will temporarily fire high explosive rounds from its main cannon instead of its default projectile. This features increased area of effect but reduced penetration. As such HE rounds effectively increase anti-infantry performance at the cost of anti-vehicle performance. Be wary this is a timed duration and thus it can backfire if the unit suddenly needs to deal with vehicles, as the effect cannot be prematurely cancelled.
