"Kraut roast" sounds like something you have the neighbors over for in the backyard.

Basics. Everyone compares the Sherman, a medium tank, to a frickin Tiger, a heavy tank. There is no comparison, because they are designed for different jobs. The Sherman was much more flexible and while it struggled to penetrate the front mantle of a Tiger, it was fast enough to drive around it and shoot it where it COULD be penetrated. You could also field four or five Shermans for the cost of one tiger. That's not just a "money" question, it's how much of your available resources do you put into building ONE tank. Add in the modularity of the Sherman and you have a platform that is ten times as effective as a single Tiger.

Anyone who has doubts about this should watch The Chieftan's "oh no, the tank is on fire" hatch demonstration. Short version: Whoever designed the Panther's hatches really didn't like tank crews.

I wonder how much of the Sherman's bad reputation comes from survivorship bias.

"Tommy Cooker" was a Commonwealth nickname for ALL Tanks during the African Campaign!

Something about being in a Metal Box, with only a few openings in the Summer while being at the northern edge of the Sahara Desert!!!

As i like to say to the German heavy glazers... "At least i won't have to stop every 20kms for repairs"

People seem to think the Sherman was so inferior to other comparable tanks. Maybe in video games and on paper, but the actual Sherman's modularity and reliable design made it the perfect tank for American forces

In an analysis by the US Army after Normandy, 56% of those penetrated by cannon brewed up in British service, 63% in US service. At this point, wet stowage was rare on US tanks and the ones the British for never had it. So about 60%. It rises to 80% including mines. About half of the fires were minor. The total rate for the Pz. IV? 80%. Tiger 80%. Panther 63%. The Sherman was average.

If you told someone who didn't know anything about tanks
"Hey, look at that sherman!"
They're gonna be confused as hell.











I know from experience...

Seems like the stats show that on average ond crewman was lost per Sherman destroyed, where the comparable loss rate per tank for the T34 was four. The Chieftain did a series "my God the tank is on fire" that explored this. Those sprung hatches on the Sherman seem to have saved thousands of crewmen.

All tanks of that Era burned when hit in the crew compartment where the ammo was.

Better then catching on fire going up a hill that is a little bit too steep for a 100 ton German tank

The biggest reason why sherman doesn't catch fire as easy as the earlier one is the ammo placement if I'm not wrong. The wet storage is just extra

Let's do a math problem, which is more likely to win an encounter; one King Tiger or five Sherman tanks that are less likely to breakdown?

The Sherman’s quality was reliablity and ease of maintenance and the ability to remain in combat for longer

It was standard doctrine for nearly everyone to shoot enemy tanks until they caught fire. A large proportion of knocked out tanks could be returned to service. A burnt out tank couldn’t.

Crews that escape a burning tank can talk about how their tank nearly cooked them, crews that don't escape, aren't heard from.
Also, with so many more built, there's so many more crews to tell stories.
