Canister shot rounds aren't that good in urban combat; nor is a long barrelled tank.

37mm, hmm.

and why are the brits using the Stuart, it's an American tank. I'd rather have a Stuart than the friggin Greyhound personally.

Because the British we're using the Stuart in the war 3 years before you did.

Still our tanks. Cheesy

Plus, OF takes place on the push to Germany and I highly doubt there were many Shermans being used by then

umm....the Sherman was the most common allied tank throughout the war...if you don't count the T-34.

Shermans were active in the desert in '41 all the way to Berlin in '45 on both the eastern and western fronts (Soviets used them, but much preferred their own T-34 due to its superior design)

The Sherman was still used up into the 60s by many other Armies.

I meant the Stuart not the Sherman.

The Stuart was in use as a recon vehicle up through the end of the war as well.

Well I don't think they would use a canister shot in an urban environment, probably HE rounds. I imagine canister shots are for more open areas.

pretty much. like in OF you can't really use it when there's stuff around. It's also best to use it against hmg's and mortars
