"These German tanks could knock out a Sherman tank from far distances"

Allies: yo America can I borrow a tank
America: Sherman

[gobblox]

I'm surprised that there was no mention of the M4 having the highest crew survivability rating of any tank in WW2. By this I mean that once the tank is disabled, how many of the crew are likely to get out and live to fight another day.

USA lend lease during ww2:
"YOU GET A SHERMAN, AND YOU GET A SHERMAN, EVERYBODY GETS A SHERMAN"

Why do french tanks have rear mirrors?







So they can also see the front lines

How many Tigers did it take to kill a Sherman?

Five.

Two in the shop for maintenance,
Two to run out of gas,
and One to take the shot.

American doctrine _didn't_ say tanks weren't supposed to fight other tanks! I recommend watching watching Chieftain's hatch, where in one of the videos Nicholas Moran dispels myths about American armor.

There were many variants of Sherman tank. It was very important on D-day.

Almost all the advantages the Sherman had are not mentioned while mentioning all of it's disadvantages and some myths about the tank

[Red-S-]

There’s a lot of issues with this one. Many of the Sherman’s pros were ignored here.

[SawedOffLaser]

I reccommend watching The Chieftan's Myths of American Armor. It really sheds some light on the true effectiveness of the tank. For example, the Sherman was likely the most survivable tank of the war, with 0.28 tanks killed per tank lost, or about 4 Shermans lost per crewman.

I had a grandpa who built Sherman Tanks, and a great-uncle who was killed fighting Nazis at the Battle of the Bulge during WW2. RIP to both of them.

Sherman VC “Firefly” ‘s didn’t had a hull mg. They removed it and the co-driver seat for extra ammo storage.

Soviet m4= loza's sherman
M4 rocket= t34 calliope

[marimon]

In the Korean War he faced his former ally, the T-34...

[TheMalevolentSpoon]

It's been disproven that the Sherman, in doctrine, was not expected to engage other tanks.
