Don't know about T34's but I was always of the understanding that the Panzers were diesels, one of the (many) reasons they had an advantage on the 'Merican tanks in combat - they tended to not explode when hit like the "Tommy cookers" did.

Nope. The Panzer's along with most M4's burned gasoline. Armor at cosine thickness (on the hull, the panzer's turret has always been a weakness) between the two tanks has a difference of a mere 5mm. The difference is that the German panzer's (well, the Panzer IV at least) had been carrying the KwK 40 since mid 1942, while the Allies didn't upgun the M4 untill July of 1944.

You started this thread and it was obviously about your want and desire in spite of your use of 'we' and Google.

I was under the impression that it wasnt the fuel so much as it was the ordinance carried.

Gasoline had nothing to do with the tendency of early Sherman's catching fire when hit, it was due to the dry stowage of the tank shells in the turret of the tank that caused around 80% of early Shermans to catch fire.  As soon as wet stowage was introduced, the rate of Shermans catching fire dramatically dropped.

Oh ... wait one. They never got to squadron strength did they?
Scratch that.
