[US] M3 75mm GMC

I think it's overprice. at 320 mp and 125 fu, it's price to operate more on its own and higher than an m8 but for killing infantry, i'd rather go with an m8 than with a 75mm gmc, especially since the accuracy is so bad. It's really only good at killing infantry inside houses, other wise forget it. (acc is .25, .50, 1.0) its like the LeIG without the splash damage.
i dont mind the MP tbh but i think the fuel should be lowered to at least 60 or 70.
hmm, maybe 80 because of its range but still. alone they kinda blow, even with two i couldn't hit anything unless it stood still for a while or sat in a building. it looks like its priced to be a mobile howie replacement but meh.

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.

They're very fragile and suffer from HT driving syndrome (goes forward, make 3 point turn to back up), they have really high fuel req.

instead of the fuel requirement being lowered, the gun should be looked at. These things shouldnt be spammed like StuHs are because it's pop is so low, and it fills a nice support niche.
When you put 2 togather at the same time, with alittle micro, they are good. It's a very micro dependant unit. Considering it's potential power, i see no reason to reduce cost on the basis of it's durability.

Weak platform? Low health? Bad pathing?
Sounds like the entire PE faction.

Actually, Carrot was making fun of Lionel's whine about HT pathing and fragility earlier in the post.
Learn 2 post =p
Wasn't talking about just this post, was talking about everything Carrot says these days.

only thing i want is the thing to have lower fuel cost because they die so easy, have horrible pathing cuz it's a half track, are wildly inaccurate and uh, they just suck imo. I'd rather play with a jumbo.

i know that but the leig can take more than just 2 pak hits, which btw has longer range than the 75mm gmc and a larger splash and because the leig uses weapon crew armor, at guns only have i think 15% acc vs them so that makes it hard so at guns can hit the leig, also tanks can't really hit it cuz the leig has 100% penetration vs pretty much all armor types and 100% dmg while the 75mm has damage nerfs vs anything that isn't infantry and the leig does more damage, for some reason even though they use the damage diameter of shell (75mm).
so either one needs to be nerfed or the other brought in line somehow with the other.

No, it's fine.
The Le.IG has the same armor as a PaK, meaning it dies in just two shots from a 57mm or 6 Lbr.
The Le.IG is shit vs vehicles, though either way that's totally unrelated to the survivability and/or effectiveness of the M3 GMC, anyways.
The Le.IG may have better range/AoE than the M3 GMC (I don't know the actual stats on this, but I'm taking your word for it), but that's also because it carries the
many
downsides of being a man-packed, crew-based weapon.
Let's compare some similar units:
M3 75mm GMC - 320MP, 125FU, 6 Pop, 6 Pool
Le.IG - 380MP, 120MU, 6 Pop, 6 Pool
95mm Cromwell - 380MP, 200FU, 10 Pop, 9 Pool
The Le.IG is about on-par with the M3 in terms of both price and effectiveness, and both are fairly priced relative to the 95mm Cromwell (ie more Fuel = more survivability).
I've seen the M3 used to great effectiveness, and have no doubt about its power.
Everything you've said is exactly what PE players have been saying for years, so 'suck it up and learn to play' is unfortunately the best advice anyone can give on the matter.
