statistis eh?
I think the official figure is 6 shermans to a Tiger, But then it was 9 T34's to a tiger and a tiger is clearly not worth 9 T34's so it shows that figure for what it is.
I didint think the twin cadalic engines where ver put inthe sherman. I t was tried in the Grant and found not up to scratch. The best motors where supposed the Wright radial and the ford. But then the tank had a choise of a lot of engines and thats my point.
