It is painfully obvious that Emry's 20K plus posts, whereby he claims he is correct a half dozen times, is not enhanced by this rookie mistake.
The M10 'guys' (76.2mm) and the M18 Hellcat 'guys' (76mm), as well as the Sherman 76mm 'guys', can't exchange ammunition. The 3 inch (76.2mm) and 76mm weapons were unique in ammunition. The HVAP ammo, prized of course, could only be shared between the respective weapons. they were roughly produced in equally small numbers in the Fall of 1944/Spring 1945.
BF has just a bunch of 'barflys' that do not enhance the wargaming 'community'. They have slipped down the slippery slope along with the the other general decline in BF wargame quality.

I've read in several places that Sherman 76 mm guys often worked a deal with M10 guys in order to get HVAP munitions in exchange for HE, which the M10 guys were using more of than had been anticipated. The Sherman guys often couldn't get HVAP at all through the usual supply channels, or only a tiny trickle.
