it depends on what role you want your shermans to take
lol
its not a straightforward question

[vet0]

well, lets just say, against other tanks, is it worth it?

Yes, but if you want anti-infantry, unupgunneds are a better deal.

[DerangedGerman]

Ach. Unupgunned shermans rape infantry with their splash damage cannons of doom. I've seen a single shot take out 4 grens!

On the other hand, upgunned is a badass against buildings, because every shot is almost guarunteed a kill through the window.

[vet0]

yes well, shermans also  can crush, it is a very special ability where u run them over.....

[DerangedGerman]

Yeah, but compared to M10s, they suck at running down pedestrians.

[Thtb]

Nah, but i also think that the sherman is a anti-inf tank.

[Dbozwhite]

The sherman is an Inf support tank.  Thats what it should, not a tank destroyer.

[MasonDonn]

The sherman is a is a great tank, unupgunned or upgunned.

Thing is, it all depends on a situation.

Dont expect an upgunned to insta-gib or really hurt a schreck squad coming in, but it still is good v. inf. It really excels v. tanks though

Dont expect an unupgunned to be able to rape a p4 unsupported either. It will rape the schreck squad coming after it.

It basically boils down to do you want mobile AT, or mobile AI. Thing is, with allies great ATG's, you dont really need upgunned shermans unless you go armor company or dump all your mun into upgrades.

[Dbozwhite]

In my opinion, from an seasoned armor player.  The best way to run an armored company is if you run un-upgunned shermans, as you can get more.  This makes your company excell against anything except for the most heavily armored companies.  Which I still had a pershing and 4 AT guns to deal with.

My company was ownage.  I had either A. 7 Shermans un upgunned with .50cals, or B. 5 Shermans with the .50, and a Pershing.  Both of these companies had pleanty of ATGs and HMGs to go around.

and tungsten is basically an upgun.
if u want the ultimate tank killer get a vet 2 sherman with upgun and vet 2 with tungsten it will penetrate anything.
