Sorry to disagree, but the Sgt. York was not fitted with a GAU-8; it had twin 40mm L/70 Bofors Guns. The major problems with the Yorks were not range or firepower, it was tracking and targeting. The guns and turret were impressive, but the tracking system couldn't tell the difference between a jackrabbit and a Hind.

Yep, we covered that, and I was corrected earlier. But thanks anyway!
