It was more deadly than a Tiger in the Pacific.

Perhaps you should look up the Sherman Firefly, or the M4 76s.

He was saying, that the Sherman's strength relative to the Japanese "tin cans" in th PTO was the equivalent of the Tiger's strength relative to allied armor in the ETO.

:huh

Let me rephrase what I said. The Sherman's armor and cannon made it, in the Pacific Theater, a more deadly tank (against other tanks) than the Tiger was in Europe and North Africa.

They were called Ha Gos and Chi Has. Plus a few others.

The only thing that made the Sherman Tank deadly to anything else in any theater was sheer numbers.  It was the armored version of a Chinese human wave attack.   A Sherman destroyed in battle could be replaced in a day or three.  Sherman crews were expendable cannon fodder not unlike Russian tanks drivers and infantry.  

It all came down to a war of production numbers and attrition.

Even when better tanks were available, the Sherman was still the one mass produced.

Not true.

In the PTO, the M3 75mm cannon was so powerful that it could blow a hole clean through Japanese tanks, in and out. The AP ammo was so devistating that often HE were used by preferance. At El Alamein it outclassed (numerically) most German tanks deployed. Versions with wet stowage (denoted by a (W) after the model and ammendment code) and a 76.2mm cannon were on par with the Panzer IVHs we have in game right now. The M4A3E8 76(w) with wide tracks, wet stowage, and a 76.2mm gun was every bit as good as the T-34/85.

The British version with the 17 pounder AT gun could kill Tigers with ease out to 2,000 meters, and that is with standard APC ammo.
