Re: British 75mm MkV tank gun
The values for the UK 75mm were discusses many years ago. It's chief value is as an HE thrower, just like the equivalent Sherman 75mm. Most targets were dealt with by HE, not AP.
UK armoured formations did retain some 6 pdr armed units, because the plain 6 pdr AP was better then the 75mm, and the APDS vastly superior, for the limited times armour needed engaging. In addition 17 pdr specialist tank-killing vehicles were also available. Not to Churchill units - hence the keeping on of some 6pdr armed ones in some formations.
