Major Victory -> RE: Tanks v tanks (8/17/2007 2:33:16 AM)

No issue that 1 on 1, a Tiger or Panther easily made wiped out a Sherman, but lets face it, rarely did that happen, there was usually 5 Shermans for every German tank and the allies were willing the attrition rate, Germans could not. When the Sherman was used in sufficient numbers (and more so with tac air support) more often than not, they simply swarmed superior German armour and won the day. In WW2, superior tech could still be countered by plain simple quantity and the ability of a nation to sustain attrition, be it troops or production.
