Hah you people do realize that germany fought russians, british, americans and all resistance movements at the same time? No wonder they lost...This post was trying to prove that they were superior in the technical terms. When Tiger rolled on the field you had to change your pants bet you that..

The tiger was an impressive machine, but the amount of Shermans the USA was able to make so quickly is pretty impressive too

First of all the tiger had problems with the communication system, the breaks and other limitations such as a slow turrent movement speed, bad mobility and its immense fuel supply. Then it took time to produce a tiger aswell as highly professional workers. On the other hand tanks like the t-34 got literally constructed by woman who never worked in such factorys before the war. Further the allies brang up the centurion aswell as the firefly. Especially the firefly with what i believe to be a 85mm gun was very capable of fighting the tiger. On the russian side they brang up the is-1 and is-2 which are said to be the most dangerous tanks in all of ww2. Overall i have to said, although im a big fan of the tigers design and its gun superiority when the it came out, its overhyped as a weaponnary system!

The Sherman is still a good tank, just wasn't build for the purpose of THIS war. But the industry could build them in a much faster phase than the German tiger. So mass production > quality

Ambrosio Rivera

In civ 5 terms, Guess they should’ve invented “mass production” first.

Shermans: Pros: Reliable, easily produced in great numbers, adaptable, versatile, easily transportable, maneuvrable and fast. Cons: Not a good tank killer vs. Panthers an Tigers. Tigers: Pros: Good at killing any tank, good armour. Cons: Too heavy (eg on bridges) needs a lot of resources to produce, needs a lot of resources to keep going, overengineered maintenance nightmare (eg interlocking wheels), couldn't be produced in great numbers, broke down a lot. The Sherman was a great tank for the Allies' needs. The Tiger, on the other hand, was wasted resources that could have been better allocated for more Stug IIIs for example, that were a better design. But I won't complain. I'm glad the Nazis were taken with their "wonder weapons". It hastened their demise, thankfully.

Still lost ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Impressive how little you lot know about tanks and how many shitty Hollywood movies you have seen and taken for face value.....

German tanks went for quality, most allies went for quantity. Quantity in this case won, because a high quality tank can still be destroyed by some funky ass anti-air gun converted into a tank destroyer from a distance at which the tank can't even see them.

pure bait if the wehrmacht had blueprints for the sherman in 1935 they probably would have won the war if they had the plans for the Tiger in 1935 they woudn't even defeated France

Leslie Roland

The germans had better tanks than the allies but they had less (and a fuel shortage too), the allied were actualy affraid of the tigers since they inflicted heavy casualities on them. The germans were also getting recked by the soviets in the eastern front and the soviets had the T-34, which was basicly as good as a german tank but way easier and faster to produce.

i'm just gonna put this here

Yet, Germany pays us for protection against Russia... sad.

Shawnee Danielle Hensley

I'd say the Sherman is a "better" tank, if you consider cost, production time, ease of maintenance and avaibility of replacement parts.

Lynn Vanessa Isaac

Sherman with 76mm cannon started to fuck over the Tiger. Imagine a smaller and faster tank screwing over your expensive big walking bricks. not to mention the British had their version of the Sherman, the Firefly, which was kicking Tigers' asses already.

Devin Seeker Christie

Tiger was nice But Panther for me has a special place Smaller gun but high velocity Angled armor Better turret rotation on later versions But it had downsides as well And the same problems as the tiger with the engine Most of them got fixed on later versions, still didnt made a difference Germany had some nice war equipment But with the mass production of T-34’s and Shermans They had no chance to win ther amored war I mean, T-34’s was made to work for 3 months After that, they didnt bother to fix the tank

Jamie Elkins Taylor

Shermans couldn't penetrate the front of the Tiger. They had to attack it's sides. Tiger was of a much higher quality, but more difficult to build (cough German overengineering), but it was easier to mass-produce the Sherman. So it was quantity over quality. But even then, during the war, most of the German armored divisions where on the Eastern front so...

Christine Keirs

yes but the main argument is price, availability for fuel, rare metals like nickel, number of units, spare parts for damaged units, ease of repair, are u on the offensive or defensive, air superiority, etc... all the above are some of the numerous arguments why the fritz lost even tho they had "better tanks" t34-85 was best IMO, best all rounder, massive numbers able to soak up losses

Vivian Silvera

Fun part is, after WW2 Germany wasn’t allowed to produce it’s own weapons, such as tanks. But when that prohibition ended some time ago, it tooked them some years (or less) to create the leopard 2, a modern tank even better than the American M1 Abrams.
