WG can just leave out the ATGM’s and have it default to HEAT rounds. As for the aluminium armour, they can just give it the equivalent-to-steel thickness.

There you go, a working Sherdican that WG doesn’t have to make any special mechanic or modifier for because they are lazy.

You can shot rear part of turret and introduce sagnificant spalling, rear is 50something mm thick.

Front – no fucking way.
Armor – again, 12.7mm protection, no 14.5mm protection. Sides – 7.62mm protection.

That is 25mm front, 15mm (very optimistic) sides.

The Sheridan fired HEAT shells and guided Shillelagh missles, not HE shells, although Im pretty sure the HEAT shells had fragmentation belts making then a viable anti-infantry weapon aswell thus essentially being a dual-purpose ammo.

Actutually, from what I hear the 76mm has knocked out a number of tanks, including the T-62.

In Somalia the Canadian forces Cougar (armed with the 76mm gun and HESH) destroyed caches of T-55′s with HESH. There’s a few second hand reports floating around of the 76mm rounds producing significant spalling even against the turret, described as “the size of dinner plate to half meters” and “An inch and a half thick inside slab of the turret wall, about four foot square, simply flaked off the inside of the turret

Even with the specific aluminum allow used in the scorpion (checked for the approximate conversion value), it still winds up as being better armoured than a few upper tier lights tanks in the game at the moment.

The Marder 3 have 118 mm pen, the SU-76 have 112 mm pen and the cruiser II have a 350 damage derp. I don’t see the problem.
