Every account I've read of the Korean War had little good to say about the M-24 Chaffee. While the late model Sherman's could deal with the T-34/85, the Chaffe was hopelessly outclassed.
with France, US Armor engaged targets in this proportion
Buildings and fortifications - 39%
Infantry - 16%
AFV's - 14%
AAA and artillery - 13%
Wheeled vehicles - 8%
So with Korea having far fewer chances to engage enemy AFVs after 1950, that 75mm was excellent with its HE round
It's a light tank, highly mobile and very reliable. T-34 was a medium tank, very mobile and mostly reliable
Light vs medium will always have a protection disadvantage.
However, the Chaffee could have been better for engaging medium tanks, like the T45 HVAP produced
Range | T45 HVAP 75mm | 75mm M72 AP | 76mm M79AP | BR-365 85mm |
500 | 117mm | 76mm | 109mm | 91mm |
1000 | 97mm | 63mm | 82mm | 83mm |
1500 | 79mm | 51mm | 76mm | 76mm |
2000 | 64mm | 43mm | 64mm | 68mm |
So, that T45 HVAP makes the M6 75mm gun the equal of the others in armor penetration, and HE was better than the 76mm
For HE, the 75mm M48 HE had 1.7lbs while the Sov OU-365 85mm had 1.71 lbs of HE. the 76mm M42A1 had 0.9lbs
