The Sherman always gets judged on the wrong things. People remember the thin armor and the 75mm gun, but the thing that made it work was that it actually showed up. It was reliable, easy to repair, and there were always more of them. In Panzer Corps 2 that is pretty much how it plays too, a solid workhorse rather than a star, and the Firefly is the one that changes the maths against heavier German tanks. What part of the article caught your eye, the combat record or the production side of it?

[Retr_Response:} The "SHERMAN'S" Resilience!. *** In the Desert, the SHERMAN TANK didn't 'Overheat' even after travelling very-long-distances, it didn't break down or have mechanical issues... it's 'Air-Filters didn't Clog!. it doggedly climbed or negotiated tall hills without any over-taxing effort!, it 'Shifted Gears' without having the issues that the German Tanks had. In-Fact!, on ALL the Points just mentioned above... or covered... the German Tanks did not 'Out-Perform' the SHERMAN, they were doing much-more-poorly, they just weren't as reliable!... 'Go-Figure???'.
