Poll: Soviet Sherman?

[Happycat]

I like the Lend-lease Sherman a lot, the more variety at the battlefield the better! Making it buildable from the Tank Hall wouldn't make much sense.
So keep it I say but I think it should come after the iconic T-34.

There is no reason for the Sherman to be fielded in a Soviet army and it dilutes the uniqueness of the faction.

I agree with Saavedra, you all must realise the Sherman is in Every Faction, it gets a little old.

My friend suggested this.

put it in after the mechanics and give the mechanics back their repair dead vehicles ability. Just keep the sherman a little later on.

There's no need to ever call in a unit cost of 300mp cost when i could call in two units of ingenery to repair for the same price. and without their repair dead vehicles they're a useless unit. ooh they can plant mines however so can tank hunters and tank hunters are cheaper and can actually hold their own.

Never gonna happen, this is PE only ability...like their G43 slowdown and incendiary rounds etc...

Whilst I do like the idea of having an "awww shit" unit for anti-armour, and the Sherman is filling the role nicely at the moment I do think it would be more fitting with the faction to have the SU-76 instead.

Like someone has said before, Sherman does get a little old, same reason why I'm hoping that the Ost don't get the Panzer IV..but that's another argument

I agree with raider

[TacticalNuke]

Instead of a lend-lease vehicle there should be an ability to improve what is already there. I agree with preserving the t34 as the main battle tank

Even when nerfed Sherman is still too early.
SU-76 with Marder armor would be great. Both StugIV and Puma should win or loose a fight depending on users micro.
Like all SU its gun should have a range of 45 (longer renge than 85/100 would be wierd).

Maybe there should be some upgrade in the Armory: "Lend lease act" and after it would be possible to build Sherman in Tank hall, and it would give some minor weapon upgrade to some infantry (Conscipts with american rifles? f.e.) and/or make available some Jeep from Support barracks. It could be like another tech possibility from tech tree which would give quick weapons but will be not so suitable from long perspective since it will give no more. It would be like "oh-shit" upgrade which would cost no fuel only MP and Ammo

- Im agaisnt the sherman:

1.Its already in CoH; Ef is so unique, with plenty of variety in the Russian arsenal, why devolve back to an existing unit?
2. Shermans sent to Russia were not considered very good by the Russians

I agree with representing the Lend-lease act - but I believe a much better unit would be a transport truck.

i.e the Dodge 3/4 Ton truck - can carry troops, or be converted to a medic truck, whatever.

Im against the soviet sherman as well.
We got that sherman already in 2 factions, we dont need a third one with this tiny cute vehicles.

I mean give the russains a tank not a sherman.
The SU-76 would be really a very nice choise. Some kind of weakened marder.

And there is a model already - did it make any trouble?
