What was the purpose of the sherman tank?
The original purpose of the M-4 Sherman tank was to provide infantry support, while tank destroyers took on tanks. The British put a very powerful 17 pound cannon in their version of the Sherman, which they called the Firefly. The USA M-4 Sherman either had a high explosive 105mm gun, or an armor piercing 75mm or armor piercing 76mm gun. The USA M-4 Sherman tank was outgunned when facing the German Panther, Tiger, or King Tiger tanks. In Feb. 1945, the M-26 Pershing tank with a 90mm gun entered service, but, it was too little, too late to have much effect on the almost over European war. The M-36 Jackson tank destroyer (which entered service in September 1944) had a 90 mm gun, and was the only USA armored mobile vehicle with an antitank gun big enough to stop most German tanks from Sept. 1944 to Feb. 1945. The M-4 Sherman was a mass produced tank, which was very reliable and rarely broke down. It saw service around the world. It's a shame that the USA did not upgrade their Shermans, as did the British with a 17 pound gun.
