All I mean is theres plenty of "medium" regular Shermans out there, and it would be fun to have more than the Pershing as THE heavy Allied tank. I'm not talking Easy-8 (33.7t)-- I'm talkin M4A3E2 "Jumbo" - the heaviest armored variety (41.9t).

If someone was to ask "Is the Panther considered a heavy tank?" the answer would be "of course!" -- why then is it such a stretch for the Jumbo to be considered "heavy" in IR terms when its only 3 tons lighter? ( and thicker front armor)
