@Lyte I believe the Sherman tanks were named after him yes?

2020-09-03 03:22:04 UTC  

yes

2020-09-03 05:46:35 UTC  

Yes

2020-09-03 05:46:44 UTC  

Best tank of the war

2020-09-03 18:56:34 UTC  

Any fellow Iraq vets on this server?

2020-09-03 19:14:01 UTC  

it is the best no questions asked

2020-09-03 19:14:13 UTC  

you wouldn't want to disappear would you

2020-09-03 19:14:30 UTC  

eh

2020-09-03 19:14:48 UTC  

the sherman was much more reliable

2020-09-03 19:14:51 UTC  

T34 was ass what the fuck are you talking about

2020-09-03 19:14:54 UTC  

easier to get out of

2020-09-03 19:14:57 UTC  

The Russians HATED the T34

2020-09-03 19:15:09 UTC  

That doesn't make a good tank

2020-09-03 19:15:16 UTC  

the sherman is the perfect neutral

2020-09-03 19:15:29 UTC  

the T-34 was revolutionary but was an awful tank in practice

2020-09-03 19:15:47 UTC  

cramped, awful protection for most of the early models

2020-09-03 19:16:09 UTC  

decent armor
75mm good anti tank/ anti infantry
76mm great anti tank
crew spacing was good

2020-09-03 19:16:12 UTC  

You could hit a T34 and the armor would break and fragment inside the crew compartment and kill everyone without a penetration

2020-09-03 19:16:34 UTC  

ok

2020-09-03 19:16:37 UTC  

any tank would do that

2020-09-03 19:17:01 UTC  

yeah but swarming makes it even less of a good tank

2020-09-03 19:17:11 UTC  

shermans could hold their own

2020-09-03 19:17:26 UTC  

more or less depending on the situation

2020-09-03 19:17:33 UTC  

If you have to use swarms to kill, it's not a good tank

2020-09-03 19:17:36 UTC  

the 75's could as well

2020-09-03 19:17:45 UTC  

why do u think the gun was chosen

2020-09-03 19:17:54 UTC  

what

2020-09-03 19:18:03 UTC  

76 could penetrate the front of a panther

2020-09-03 19:18:12 UTC  

and the 17pdr could go through the front of a tiger

2020-09-03 19:18:20 UTC  

it had great anti tank and in early war Africa was the best fielded tank thanks to its punchier 75

2020-09-03 19:18:28 UTC  

so could the 76mm

2020-09-03 19:19:30 UTC  

the 17pdr was cramped inside the 75mm turret

2020-09-03 19:19:55 UTC  

the 76mm lacked enough explosive mass to deal with infantry
