Hi Troy,
I notice the Lee and Grant tanks are only given one kill number for the 75mm gun. These tanks were armed with two different 75mm guns (well, the Lee versions were anyway). There was the M2 75mm gun and the later M3 75mm gun which was the same as the Sherman tank's gun. Later production Lee tanks had the M3 gun and given that the Flames of War kit of this vehicle gives you the choice of gun type I would like to suggest the following: later model Lees with the M3 gun would continue to have a To-Kill number of 13, while earlier model Lee/Grants with the M2 gun would have a To-Kill number of 12. This would also bring things in line with the different model 76mm guns listed for the T-34 and KV-1 tanks.

Hello Glen.
This is a bit of a pickle -
The original M2 L/31 Gun ammunition was the M72 AP round. Its pen. of RHA is listed as 81mm @ 0 degree and 500m. This would be a 13AP in SK speak.
The later improved M61 APCBC round increased penetration of RHA to 84mm @ 0 degree and 500m. Still a 13AP.
The M3 L/40 Gun using M72 penetration of RHA is listed as 92mm @ 0 degree and 500m. Should be 14AP. The M3 L/40 Gun using M61 APCBC penetration of RHA is listed as 94mm @ 0 degree and 500m. Still 14AP.
I think I am leaning toward an increase of the M3 L/40 to 14.
Thoughts?
Troy
