Pretty good at sniping single infantry mans, worse than normal sherman due to reduced splash.

It's definitely worth it, sacrifices only a slight bit of infantry killing power in exchange for increased viability against armor and vehicles.

panther? nah while a panther has a splash area of 0.2 the upgunned sherman has 1.5 => 750% and additional 250% of its accuracy vs moving infantry to put it in a nutshell the panther is complete shit vs infantry while the upgunned sherman rapes them (in comparison) |

latest patch reduced/fixed so there is a dramatic drop in splash from regular gun. For me the upgun isnt worth the drop. 76 aint that powerful on heavies and shermans arent fast or strong enough for the investment to use them as a tank hunter. U most likely get 1 inf kill per shot. I rather stick to the 75mm save the money and kill blobs, or spend it on smoke/repair. |

upgun ONLY costs 30 FU. 30. THIRTY. Its dirt cheap and only has a 1s longer reload then a normal sherman gun. Damn strait Ill take that shit now.

Unless it got added back in, there is no reload penalty, it's RoF is identical to the 75mm.

No, there's no reload penalty, only a splash penalty.

thats why the sherman upgun has been such a longstanding balance issue, the reload penalty was removed and its still good enough vs inf... why not take it
