    So I recently purchased the Jumbo because I have a tank problem. I read over the rules because I was planning on using it in a tank wars game but I noticed it has the easily catches fire rule like the early shermans but no option listed to cancel it for +10 pts or any notes that I can find about the 76mm upgrade canceling it out like the other 76mm shermans. I haven’t noticed any FAQ on this has;anyone else found something in regards to what to me at least appears to be an error for the unit

    Did any of the Jumbos have wet stowage (the reason for removing “easily catches fire”)?

    According to the Sherman Minutia page, the E2s were build on M4A3 75(W) chassis, so should never have had easily catches fire:

    Agreed, everything I have read on the A3 upgrades was they addressed the various problems that caused the issue.
