I believe it is already factored into the guns stats

Lolz, according to the few little bits ive read about the thing, it increased the pen of the gun to like 80mm, we have like 64 pen now...

Check the gold round stats.

oh, I have...its 121, I bet if we had the Little John adapter raising the 67, it would jack those numbers up to like 144 or something lol.  Or else it only raises the 67 and leaves the 121 alone.

Nope. Gold round is APCNR, which is what the Littlejohn Adaptor fired.

Well I had also read something about how it made the shell fire at a higher velocity and flatter trajectory...so weshould still get it as equipment and increase the accruacy of the weapon lol....idk why I am all of a sudden so interested in this thing lolz.....

The Littlejohn Adaptor works on the same concept as the German "Konish" gun. It's a squeeze-bore weapon, and used special APCNR ammunition. These rounds were actually in effect smaller than normal ammo (squeezed to 30mm), but had higher penetration.

Undocumented stealth nerf apparently or an unintended bug.

The EZ8 has some strong words in response to your claim...
Until the British started getting American built tanks in North Africa, Rommel was kicking them all over the place. Most of Rommel's tanks were Italian, not German. So, what does that say about the British?

What it says is England was a tiny island fighting against the most powerful army in the world while the yanks  sat back and watched. It's  easy to profiteer by  spamming  out masses of inferior quality crap  when your not fighting a war.

Umm, England wasn't fighting alone before the U.S. got physically involved in the war, I'm pretty sure most of the rest of Europe was also fighting Germany for awhile along with England, and i'm not sure that England qualifies as a "tiny little island" either.

I won't deny that the early Sherman's were crap, but I think that's a result of a design that wasn't combat tested until the Brits starting using the ones that the U.S. manufactured for them.  The Firefly wasn't anything special in the long line of Sherman modifications, really just an added a 17lb main gun that could dish out some damage, but the tank itself was still a regular Sherman chassis subject to all it's flaws and limitations of that period.

The Sherman may have been less than ideal, but it wasn't crap. It wasn't powerful or well armored, but it was mobile, reliable, and cheap. For every Tiger that rolled out of the depot, we made ten Shermans. What's with the hate? We were on the same side.

It says that the Brits fought hard like everyone else and Rommel was a BAMF for making use of such unremarkable tanks

Most Early British tanks (excluding the Matilda MkII) were poor designs to say the least. German tanks might have had reliability issues, but British tanks early in the war weren't so hot either. BTW our masses of inferior "crap" overran the German Panzers. BTW Patton was way better than Monty.

Going to the meds.. I want the centurion.. though given the acrade nature of the game.. I bet it will be the next OP war cry from the cheap seat section..

I have 8 kills in one round in my Tet... I forget what equip I put on it...
Only thing I hate is a 20mm auto cannon equipped tank. If you get the first shot off you can kill the German Low tier gold tanks easily.

I had thought about selling it but you only get 150K and I have the garage space for it.. besides I bet most times I am playing against new guys on the way up..
Lots of round I have had guys complaing about how I bought my tank... they shut up pretty fast when u tell them it was a free gift.

I kind of expect a 'light' and a 'heavy/medium' tree similar to the French tree.  One route you get the Valentine and Matilda and Churchill.  Then the other will have the Tetrarch, ???, and something like the Crusader for tier5 and so on where that tree is lighter more mobile stuff.

I think the French tree was mostly added because the magazine/revolver mechanism added more to the game.  Honestly I wish the magazines were in the game earlier because it makes a ton more sense for low caliber guns to operate that way.  

So what's the Brish tree have to offer?  Some variety, but nothing as impactful as the magazine system.  I REALLY want a lot of the British tanks honestly.  

I'm fairly far into the French tree and it's beginning to bore me.  The lack of versatility and armor just doesn't fit my playing style at all anymore.  So I've been debating dropping them but we'll see what comes along.

why did most of the people voted mediums? what so great about mediums?

Medium: Much more fun, Much Faster, just as well armed, generally speaking, Allows for flanking manuevers, adapting to situations quickly and on the fly, ARE NOT ARTY magnets so much as they are generally moving, much more Fun....

Heavy: Big, slow, no real advantage over same tier mediums, arty magnets, relegated to the peekaboom, hope arty doesnt hit you style of play.....

Go play up the US medium line, play the EAsy 8 for awhile, then grind up a heavy tree....tell me which one was more fun.....For me, it is Mediums.  Its why i like the M103 now...it plays more so like a Medium.  Its like a Sherman Easy 8 but with more firepower and armor.  Its speed is typical of a heavy, slow and what not but the tank is not immobile like a typical heavy tank, it could do a speed buff...if it doesnt come at a cost of losing everything else that makes it fun...like the RoF, Pen, mobility, decent armor....ugh...
