M4A4 Sherman speed inconsistencies (various OOBs)

Griefbringer · #1 November 2nd, 2013, 04:56 PM

Again trawling through OOBs, I noticed that M4A4 Sherman (aka Sherman V) tends to have various speeds in different OOBs. I could locate following cases:

* France (OOB 06)
- unit 078 (speed 13)

* Great Britain (OOB 07)
- unit 022 (speed 11)
- unit 023 (speed 11)
- unit 194 (speed 14)

* Canada (OOB30)
- unit 022 (speed 14)
- unit 025 (speed 14)
- unit 027 (speed 14)

Besides those, both Canadian and British OOBs list a lot of Vc (Firefly) variants, all with speed 11.

I'll add this to the other 132 pages of corrections

You'll be happy to know Wiki gives it a speed equivalent to 16 but I"M SURE we'll hear from others about this....( but that is only a "brief level" speed)

SO FAR I have the Sherman v brought up 8 times in this years note and none of them commented on the speed which I find somewhat remarkable considering the feeding frenzy of " error" reports this year

Well the The Royal Canadian Armoured Corps Association
http://www.rcaca.org/En/indexLM.asp?ID=26

gives the speed of the M4A4, Sherman V as being 25 mph which = 40.2336 kph which equals 13.4112 rounded down to 13 in game terms so according to that data only the French version is correct

However http://www.wwiivehicles.com/usa/tanks-medium/m4a4.asp gives it

Speed - Road

25 mph , 26 mph

and 26 MPH pushed the speed to 14 in game which makes the vast majority that are 14 ( you missed a few ) correct

NationID	NationName	name	slot	graphic	rangefinder	speed
7	Great Britain	Sherman V	22	1093	3	11
7	Great Britain	Sherman V	23	1093	3	11
21	Nationalist China	M4A4 Sherman	298	1093	3	11
6	France	M4A4	78	1093	3	13
27	Belgium	Sherman V	251	1093	3	14
31	Greece	Sherman V	8	1093	3	14
30	Canada	Sherman V	27	1093	3	14
30	Canada	Sherman V	25	1093	3	14
30	Canada	Sherman V	22	1093	3	14
2	Poland	Sherman V	17	1093	3	14
27	Belgium	Sherman V	9	1093	3	14
7	Great Britain	Sherman V	194	1093	3	14
2	Poland	Sherman V	201	1093	3	14
2	Poland	Sherman V	27	1093	3	14

I think I'll throw caution to the wind and go with 14
