The 90mm M3 rifled fun was successfully fitted to a Sherman and considered for production. It was ultimately passed aside so as not to draw resources from the development of the M26. How would you feel about seeing this tank at tier 7 as a premium with preferential matchmaking? I think Joco has proposed this vehicle, but I kind of struggle to see where it fits in the tree.

There are already several tanks at tier VII with the M3 gun. And the Sherman's armor and mobility are not so great already at tier VI and so it would be totally outclassed by tier VII and VIII. There already is an odd Sherman variant on the PC they will probably eventually make its way to console. The M4A1 Revolver has a 105mm gun so it has lolalpha but it is not a sniper tank.  |

Make is a Premium Tier VI with Standard MM. From the picture I have saved on the computer it looks like they put the T26 Turret with the 90mm M3 on a Jumbo Sherman Chassis. now I could be wrong, it could just be the welded M4A2 (I think that is the Chassis that was welded). If it is the uparmoured Jumbo Chassis and not the standard M4 hull then it would be a good fit at tier VI. But like I said my info could be wrong and I have the chassis mixed up.

I like the idea of it being tier Vl without preferential matchmaking.

lots of t5 shermans even the ripper but not many t6, in fact only the fury springs to mind and as it will never be sold again i think either this or the fury in normal garb would find a ready and eager market.

I could kinda see tier VI, but the problem I have is that this gun is the top package on the tier VII T20. How do you balance it at tier VI? |

Make it a pocket heavy. If it has the Pershing turret, it would work quite well for a hull down Tier 6 heavy tank, and play very similar to the T29-T32. |

The M3 is also the top gun package for the Hellcat. Like Ghost said it would play simular to the T29-T32 especially if it did in fact have the Jumbo Sherman's Hull. And with that setup I could see it be low teir alot so the hull would be the bain of it's existance. Don't give it the reload like the T20 give it the reload of the Hellcat.
