APDS was used for the US tests that led to keeping the 76 mm?The_Chieftain: Nope. But given the era, probably MkI. In fairness,
APDS wasn't really the cause for 76mm. Remember that the US
considered 17pr to be a competitor to the 90mm, and tested it on
that basis at the time. As far as Sherman was concerned, it was
more a matter of technical curiousity as to what characteristics
should be poached, except at Isigny, where that was a short-term
"We need something now, will this do the job?" affair.
