Default RE: Soviet Shermans?

ORIGINAL: swathdiver

If I had to pick one to go into battle with it would be the Sherman. The 3 man turret crew is much more effective then 2. I believe the Sherman was also more reliable, able to go further before needing maintenance and repairs. Easy 8s versus T34/85s were a pretty even match up during Korea.
More reliable??? I am thinking of whether to question that or to leave it as is...
Maybe those were the good old days when America made good, reliable weapons. Take for example the comparison the M16 and AK74 - reliability and idiot-proofness goes to the Russian weapon, while accuracy and quality goes the American way. How times change...[X(]

I would definitly choose the T34 but it's only my opinion
