Description:
The Sherman Medium Tank evolved several times to try to keep up with the technology they were fighting against during WWII, continually upgrading the guns as well as the armor to fight off the German anti-tank guns and armored vehicles, including the Tiger I. The Tiger I was a heavy duty armored tank tha could demolish almost everything in its path, but was one of the most expensive to produce. Sheer numbers alone, the Sherman Tank outnumbered the Tiger I significantly with only 1,347 of the Tiger I being produced and over 49,000 of Sherman variants. The guns couldn't penetrate the thick armor of the Tiger I leaving them mostly unbothered, until the British upgraded the Sherman with a QF 17-pounder anti-tank gun early in 1944, to create the Firefly. The Sherman was praised for its reliability in the field while the Tiger I, although one of the most aggressive weapons used by the Germans and inpenetrable by the enemy, succumbed mostly to its own mechanical failures.
