Description
The two most produced tanks of ww2.
Both tanks had a major impact on the war. The Sherman has better comfort for the crew, better optics and a gyroscope gun stabilizer that alowed the tank to accurate shoot while moving.
The T34 has quantity...massively, overwhelming, bloody brutal quantity
legendary tanks of the WW2
Sherman legendary for burning crews, T34 for spam.
The sherman gets double points for burning crews and spam!
I think they did fill it with Thermite for the same reason as the Brittish pilots didn't get any parachutes at WWI :p
Since it only burned because it was hit, because the crew didn't fight hard enough and failed. Then they deserve to burn, plus who needs a tank crew when there ain't a tank?
The tendency for the Sherman to catch on fire is grossly exaggerated. For one, it was the first tank to have wet storage for ammunition, and as a result by the end of WWII it was by far the least fire-prone tank in service. Moreover, even early and mid-war Shermans were not significantly more likely to catch on fire when hit than many other tanks, such Panthers.
maybe true but the sherman had a tendancy of being penetrated therefor more often cathing fire:p
