@Panther Looks cool! Thanks for sharing!
Was the Sherman Under-rated?

The logistics problem was a significant design issue, but another skewed part of the comparison is the fact that we were advancing and they were defending. The defense gets a bonus for artillery, mines, channeling obstacles, prepared positions and surprise if it is well prepared. They usually get the better terrain too. It is a difficult comparrison to make. However, I’d probably want to be in a big German machine rather than a smaller US tank that had to get here on a supply ship.

Perhaps this would have been a better poll question: “Which would rather be in, a Sherman or a Tiger?” 8-)

high profile, poor slope to armor made the sherman at best, a mediocre medium tank. the allies vast quantitative superiority ,however, more than offset any german qualitative advantages. the T 34 , and when working well , the panther were the best medium tanks of WW2

Panthers tended to break down after you rolled them out of the factory.

I say Sherman, if I’m in a Tiger it means I’m German, and the Germans lost :-D

There’s a big difference between being a looser and being dead. :wink:

Well, would you rather be in a Sherman with a whole company of other Sherman tanks, air and artillery support, or would you rather be in a Panther with two other tanks in what is left of your platoon?
The problem is that the question you wish to pose compares apples to oranges.

I said Tiger, not Panther. Oh, and btw, I prefer oranges. :wink:

Well if we’re talking Tigers, then I suppose we are comparing apples to Honey Dew Mellons.
