A tank depend on so much more than his numbers and stats do actually succeed on the battlefield. The Germans used the Panzer 1 in Poland, and the Panzer 2 in France, and even if those was not really suited to fight tank battles, their use "en Masse" surprised all ennemies wich make them scared and move back. The Sherman, like those small Panzers, did exactly the same thing but at the end of the war. They arrived "en Masse" againts superior ennemy Panzer, but won just because there was more of them than that "superior" Panzer had ammunition...or Fuel for that matter. How curious it is to think, the "en Masse" strategy wich maked the German win at the beginning of the war, was doing the same thing but for the Sherman at the end of the war. Guy
