- Michel_KraussHi folks,
thanks all, for the info
Concerning the dropping of the 17pdr because of being non-standard in the US army...
. . .
For what I could find about the history of the Firefly there was another main reason the US army did not want to use the 17pdr gun
. . .

Actually deployment of the Firefly was actually just taking the TD doctrine down to the platoon/troop level. If the U.S. had made a tank platoon two M36 TDs and three 75mm Shermans you would have the same thing as the British had without having to add a new weapon to the system.
