the tiger 1 was a really great tank. Tank commanders like Erwin Rommel used tigers. on the other hand the armor of the king tiger was used to reflect or ricochet shells all that armor made the tank heavier.

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.
