""dinosaur versions of a Sherman tank," Bill Parsons said. "They
were armored and they withstood whatever came at them, and they just
kept going."
Well then, they weren't very much like sherman tank at all...
Sherman tanks sucked compared to other designs out there.
High profile, thin (relative) flat armor...
America's industrial output made up for the design deficiencies.
A Sherman vs a Tiger.... the tiger would be the one that withstood
the attacks, the sherman would be toast (same goes for vs a T-34).
Oh well, he's a paleontologist, not a military historian.
