Okay.. so the argument is that the current no-damage done by 75mm gun system is correct, and that is backed up by providing cites that the gun does indeed damage a Tiger from under 100m? Makes sense.
And by the way, why does every discussion like this have to turn into an America vs. Germany thing? I'm pretty sure we all played on both sides when we fire up FH2. Most tanks have been kinda fucked since this patch for every army so let's not get all precious over what country we were born in. I don't think a Sherman should survive a direct hit from an 88, but I also don't think that if you outfox the Tiger in your Sherman on Ramelle and get behind him, you should have to fire four or five times directly into his rear hull to achieve any damage when you are literally 5m away, and when the Tiger is a squad leader with engineers pouring off him every 10 seconds, it's not hard to see which is the bigger problem.
