Best Medium Tank of WWII

[GodlikeDennis]

Scrapped or sold to nations around the world like the Russians did with theirs. Many Israeli tanks are based on the M4 Sherman I believe.

Who would buy the M4s unless they were for free. Also Wikipedia says that they were used for farming. yep farming.

I heared a story where 2 Wespe were used for farming after the war... cause they war free.

Whats strange about that? They were realiable tanks that could be upgunned easiely.

105 howitzer?

[Max 'DonXavi' von B.]

Sherman M-4 (Sherman degem Bet prior to 1956) - Israeli designation of any Sherman model armed with the 105 mm howitzer M4.

Wikipedia says that they were used in the 1965 Indo-Pak war on both sides. Interestingly, Pakistan never won a war with India.

If I have a Su-85, I'll drive it, use the gun to ram the door house of a girl and ask her a dinner. I'm sure she won't deny my invitation .
Did the US use shermans in vietnam war? I heard some of US inf still use thompson in early part of the war

[RedGuard]

I dont think they used the sherman in the same way they did in WWII, if it was used at all it was probably a howitzer variant for indirect fire mobile arty, or dozer for construction/demolition.

the patton was the MBT in vietnam. it was a huge leap in survivability at the time.

Hmm, I remain Skeptical.

The Thompson was an excellent SMG. It could have been used. Not a chance for the Sherman. The US already had M48 Pattons

Howitzer?

Thats not a howitzer. Thats a modern tank gun. Sherman M-51 proved itself capable of fighting newer, heavier tanks like the Soviet-built T-54/55/T-62 just like PanzerIV proved itself at fighting T-34 after its gun was upgraded.
