Since the British tree was added to WT back in 2016, British 75mm and 6 pounder armed tanks have been limited to only solid AP.

This has became somewhat of a joke in the community due to how painful it is to use due to it's awful damage, however, there is a solution.

During WW2 the British were supplied with millions of 75mm (M61) and 57mm (M86) APHE shells from the US, which are currently not equipped on any British tanks ingame.

In late WW2, British crews were supplied with lend lease APHE shells and these were utilised in battle, however, due to fuze issues they preferred to use solid shot. This was just a preference, with APHE still being used historically, just not as the main anti-tank shell.

Both M61 and M86 shells are already found ingame in the US tree, with M86 having 42g of TNT and M61 having 65g of TNT, making both of them very potent shells with great damage.

Luckily, gaijin appear to be looking into the addition of at least M61 to the British tree, with a report recently accepted to add the M86 shell as well.

The addition of these shells to the British tree is both historical and would hugely buff Britain's mid tiers. Well over 12 British tanks in the mid tier part of the tree could recieve one of these shells, completely revamping that part of the tree, but requiring some significant balance changes.

If you have any opions on this pls share
