Why was the sherman tank so bad?
1: The gun was not capable of penetrating frontal armor of German's heaviest tanks. 2: The German tanks had longer range than the Sherman---so the Sherman had to get closer. 3: The armor was not the best. 4: To lighten the weight, it used an aircraft engine that burned gasoline. This made it catch fire easily if it was hit. The tankers called it "the Bronson Burner"---a play on words as the Bronson was the name of a cigarette lighter.
