Machines | M4 Sherman - The Main Allied Tank

videos | at work | information | view | construction

1. 3 shifts, 24 hrs a day, 6 days a week?
2. Let's stop pretending that the Sherman was a great tank. It was an average tank. The only reason it fuck stomped all over Europe is the fact that there was like 50,000 of the fuckers.
3. Not a single mention of the British and Canadian Sherman Firefly, although it is shown many times in the video. The 17 lb gun could penetrate any German tank at 1000 m, and was roughly equal to the 8.8 cm and 7.5 cm kwk.
4. shermans the more the merier
5. considering the sherman had better armor than most german tanks and a gun that could match most of the german tank main armaments... its not a bad tank..
6. right at the end you got comet and Pershing but at the time the m4 was the best we had
7. I think they called them Tommy cookers
8. The M4 Sherman what a piece of shit, should have never been built. No fucking armor, piss poor 75mm couldn't even knock a hole in the wind. The 76mm wasn't much better. Gas engines, when diesel was available. What was its good points lets see, there wasn't any.

11. Kneel to the axis slaves
12. I did find info of U.S. Tank losses during world war 2. Quite a bit of info that over 6,000 sherman tanks and tank destroyers were lost.
    USA:10,000 tanks/SPGs/tank destroyers lost. From June 6, 1944 through May 15, 1945 for US tank and tank destroyer losses in the European Theater of Operations, United States Army (Western Front): around 7,000 (including 4,295 M4 tanks and 919 tank destroyers). Losses of 5th Army (Sicily, Italy): 1,414 tanks, tank destroyers and self-propelled guns, including 1,171 M4s.[7][8] Several hundred tanks lost in the Pacific Theater of operations.
13. The air force didn't try to win the war with a single design. They used different designs, they massively upgraded motors, propellers, and armaments. But that would have been toooooo much trouble for our tanks. Really? Realllly? Its not like it was a wonderful design with sloped armor like the t34. No, it towered high and tall, never got more armor, really never got bigger gun. Just had to go toe to toe with Tigers and Panthers. Sad.
14. The only thing about this tank was its ability to be massed produced. Tank killing capability and crew surviviabilty was woefully lacking. Effort could have been made to install a British high velocity 6 Pounder in the Sherman and it would have brought a world of hurt on German tanks. A 3 to 4 inch armor belt/plate welded to the sides of the Sherman's turret would have provided more crew surviviabilty. These important factors were not pursued for some reason that's inexcusable. Many thousands of American tank crewmen were slautered...
15. because ammo racks they got ammo racked and they started using better storage techniques.
16. Aahhh, the great Richard Holmes...you are missed in todays documentary world old friend.
17. What a bunch of bull "we where told that it was a good tank, so it was a good tank" the same type of people you can tell that pigs fly, and they fly......
18. The M4 was designed to fight Panzer IIIs and IVs, not Panthers, Tigers or later German tank destroyers. It was heavily based on the M3 and was intended to use as many of its parts as possible, so to ease production.
    The M4 was intended to basically swamp the enemy with numbers, not be the best tank out there, since that would cost more and result in lesser production numbers.
19. reliable?
20. It just dinged them.
