So, I can't really decide between 15% more penetration for tanks or 10% faster firing.  Does 15% pen really make that much difference w/ sherm v pIV?

ABSOLUTELY. You know that upgun upgrade? That doesn't increase your damage, it actually reduces it due to the longer reload time. All it does is increase penetration.

Tungsten Tipping is awesome.

easy, TT is a must if you field several vehicles, as its 15% on everything, so m 8's can circle strafe tanks and take out light vehicles much better, my m8's are l337! I've already got one at vet 2, another almost at vet 2, hoping to get a 3rd to vet 2 and another at vet 3.

Dafuq man, don't ask for proof if you'll refuse it if it's not in your favor, logic fallacy for the bloody win.

hrm leet shermys=tt, scoot and shoot, and the other one that makes it 10% harder to hit(kinda worthless but ok i guess!), then crew repairs and onboard= 6x leet shermy's

10% harder to hit is not worth it unless it gives a flat -10% deduction (which I doubt). Tanks/AT guns will still hit you enough that it doesn't make any difference in strategy, medium-range combat still results in lots of hits (circle-strafe), and handheld AT is accuracy reduced by a whopping 3.5% at long range.

10% faster firing isnt really noticable.  probably reduces by about half a second

15% more penetration still isnt much, but at least its noticable.  since most Allied tanks are on the borderline of reliably penetrating P4s and stugs, this will take them over the border so you'll more often than not penetrate.  It's fantastic for M10s too.
