Default RE: Tamiya classifies shermans as light tanks


ORIGINAL: rivetcounter

Surely it should be a super heavy least ways that’s how some perceive the Tommy cooker/Ronson

The Sherman was no more of a Tommy cooker/Ronson than the German tanks were. Both were gasoline powered tanks and both could burn the same way. It's just the Sherman really wasn't designed for armored warfare but as an infantry support vehicle and they had the ammo stored incorrectly.

Once that was rectified it burned no better than the German tanks did.


Super Heavy? [X(]
