Hey all I have a react video looking at ghost of Tsushima and analyzing it. Let me know here what I should look at next Historian Reacts: Ghost of Tsushima czcams.com/video/EyTxy-BIe4M/video.html
@@easternWashington. Mediocre tank for tanking. But good as a platform. Then again, didnt make sense to switch tanks every 2 years, the germans learned thst the hard way. Allies found other ways to compensate for shermans abysmal armour protection (although even crew members admitted as i remember, the only reason more of them lived was because it had so many escape routes). T 34 wasnt much better, but it was really hard to escape i heard. Hence why the allies dumped so much resources into artillery and ground attack aircraft.
Customizable and it has low maintenance. The US build the Sherman in a way that one can repair or fully fix it in the field, so that it doesn't have to get sent back across the Atlantic.
@@DAEJAHN they do but a guy with a tent outside, with some tools and spare parts could get the Shermans up and running back to the front of the battlefield, compared to the German tanks which had to be sent back to the factory in Germany. Just to be repaired. Over enginnered at its finest. You could cry.
Plus the sherman didnt suffer from a lack of quality control, at the very least better then what the soviets had during the war, as for the spare parts, which is the departament where the germans were strugleing, the americans had plenty of spare parts.
@@DAEJAHN you are more thinking of the tiger and panther The sherman was one of the most reliable and also had the 2nd best crew survivability only beat by the cherchell
It seems that the U.S really likes to have the reliable yet versatile weapons, the M4 isn't the most powerful weapon, but it's customizable and pretty reliable if it's maintenance is kept up with
The Sherman had the best user interface: The crew could usually spot an enemy, find the range, aim the gun, and fire before the enemy did the same to them. Just like in aerial combat, the guy who shoots first almost always wins.
You missed one VERY important feature that increased crew survival from 20% to 75% which no other tank of that time had, spring loaded hatches that basically opened themselves, you can always build a new tank but training a good crew is much more expensive.
Plus it was mechanically reliable, easy to repair, and its well-roundedness made it suitable for not just any function, but also just about any terrain in any region. As the old saying goes, "A jack of all trades but master of none, is better than the master who only knows one."
Also because it was so tall the crew actually had room to move to be able to get out those hatches. Even if you put springs on a T 34's hatches I still highly doubt it would have made much difference for the poor driver and bow gunner.
When it was introduced, the Sherman actually had a very effective 75mm. It’s only later on that it began to become outgunned, but while the Germans were upgrading their tanks, so were we. It’s just that we were across the pond, and logistics made it harder to effectively deploy upgunned tanks. I believe the Sherman ended the war with one of the highest survivability rates, and did its job when needed
To improve his statement: Sherman was the best TANK PLATFORM of WW2. And those economies of scale... boy, do they scale up, when your name is the good old U. S. of A.
It actually WAS the most technologically advanced tank. It had Cruise Control, A Stabilized Gun, an Electric Turret, and many other features that all stemmed from the American Automotive Industry. They also didn’t catch on fucking Fire spontaneously like the Panther did lmao
Yes it was cheaper but thats not the only reason it was used, It was also Stronger then Traditional Armor because you didn't have to rely on the Strength of a Weld or the Strength of a Rivet. since it was one Gigantic piece it didn't have any structural weak points..@@barryjackson7404
You can put any of these attachments on any tank it is not modular. It is a large steel object with and engine. You can put what ever you want on it. If you think only the Sherman could do that absolutely false everyone could and did when they could afford it. Sometimes people would just weld on bulldozer equipment or blades to knock down trees and cut through hedges. Sometimes people put wood on it for extra armor people attach and remove all kinds of shit from all kinds of tanks
@@privy2743 you are right but also @ops statement. The only other tank I can think that was DESIGNED to be as modular (not field modifications) would be the Soviet t-72/bmp chasis
Not only that, it was designed for repairs. Unlike literally everyone else, we couldn't ship our tanks a few hours home to get repairs. When something broke, it was repaired either in the field or just behind the front
@@ivanvarela3215 except that was countered by lowering the ammo stowage in the hull and up armoring those sections. Only overstocked Sherman’s really had that problem… British early war Sherman’s
It wasn't so much repair individual parts but instead was replace the entire assembly/pack. The complex time consuming parts were designed as quick change packs. The entire drive train came out by undoing a handful of bolts and connections same for most of the engines and turrets. Say your drive train was damaged, don't tear it apart piece by piece and spend hours or days fixing the shaft, dif, gears, or whatever because it was a package design. You just pull the whole drive train out in 1 hour and slip a different drive train pack back in in 1 hour. So your back up in 2 hours instead of days. Then you could send the damaged drive train pack back to a depot without worrying about how long it would take to fix and keeping a tank out of the fight. Same went for the engine packs and turret assemblies. Don't fix individual parts they have whole packs at the ready that don't require you to tear something completely apart. Just pull it, plug it, and send it. This was mainly possible because of the huge US industrial and material capacity.
Also, ergonomics. It was much more comfortable and convenient to use than other tanks of its period. And that is without taking into account its much better survivavility.
Shermans were also very survivable and the 75mm cannon was pretty good considering the vast majority of fighting was done against infantry with german tanks being quite rare that this point in the war
By far the best tank of WWII. Gyroscopic stabilization, fast turret rotation speed, advanced long range radios, potent main gun, decent armor, great top speed, lots of easy to work on and repair parts… other tanks may win in one or two categories but no other tank is reliable good in all categories.
If you include manufacturing the Sherman *was* the most advanced war of the tank. The Sherman was made in high numbers without having to cut corners that lowered quality, it's what everyone pretends the T34 was. It could be deployed anywhere in the world and work well, it was easy to repair in the field, and maintained a great ratio of armor, speed, and firepower. People only look down on the Sherman because they look at Tigers laying in ambush on friendly territory during the late war and marvel that the Shermans took more loses on the offense.
Fun fact, Sherman’s didn’t actually do half bad against tigers and panthers. Media kinda did the Sherman dirty in that department but Sherman’s routinely routed panthers especially by the U.S. and the French, and did decently well against tigers
I will always find it funny that people take on the ramblings of that WW2 vet who said the sherman was trash because his job was to repair severely damaged shermans. That's like working in a morgue and complaining that there aren't enough alive people coming in. Basically just the survivorship bias but in reverse.
It was very easy on logistics and while its gun wasn’t flashy, it was enough to destroy anything the Germans could throw at it. Not to mention it was extremely comfortable.
metal gear also what is it called? Searching up ballistic missile launching Sherman in multiple ways either gets me the calliope or whiz bang, or reporters with the last name of Sherman.
@@bloxmaster2623 there's a CBRN version of the Sherman which was fitted with an aiming device to remotely steer a Jupiter, Minuteman, Tomahawk or any other airborne munitions into the target. It was originally designed to be used in Iraq but cancelled bcoz international law. The inventor was Canadian.
If you lost an engine or trans, simply undo a few bolts and drop in a new assembly. The boys in the back will then fix whatever went wrong and send it back to the front to be swapped into another broken tank.
@@toxic-f14_jollyroger99 you think that's funny? Think about the poor soldiers who literally destroyed a tank only to see another one of it to come back with the exact weapons it needs to destroy that guy. Like when you get killed early in the game and later come back to it with heavier gear.
True, on that, but it wasn't just the modularity of the tank. It was the cheapest to produce at that time. It was a light tank that got buffed practically
A demon slayer Sherman manned by expert demon slayers: The mere sight of this girl is one that even the Devil himself ran. Now point me to the mattress demon... we got an exorcism to do.
"Is you enemy hiding on a remote speck of coral out in the ass-end of nowhere in the middle of the vast Pacific?" There's a Sherman for that. And more importantly, it can be delivered there.
The US literally made so many of these things they didn't know what to do with all of them and started taking the turrets off and just turning the chassis into troop carriers.
@@demonprinces17 it was a pretty common practice mainly with Canada as you said but not with them alone. Additionally it was done with a lot of different tanks including the Sherman The Churchill and the M3 in the case of the Russians using lend lease m3s.

Fun fact, Sherman’s didn’t actually do half bad against tigers and panthers. Media kinda did the Sherman dirty in that department but Sherman’s routinely routed panthers especially by the U.S. and the French, and did decently well against tigers

toilet sherman whem
I will always find it funny that people take on the ramblings of that WW2 vet who said the sherman was trash because his job was to repair severely damaged shermans. That's like working in a morgue and complaining that there aren't enough alive people coming in.
Basically just the survivorship bias but in reverse.
It was very easy on logistics and while its gun wasn’t flashy, it was enough to destroy anything the Germans could throw at it. Not to mention it was extremely comfortable.
"You need to launch a ballistic missile on a discrete location? There is a Sherman for that. Yes, there actually is."
No way
metal gear
also what is it called? Searching up ballistic missile launching Sherman in multiple ways either gets me the calliope or whiz bang, or reporters with the last name of Sherman.
@@bloxmaster2623 its probably the Calliope
@@nitsu2947 that’s a rocket launcher, not a ballistic missile launcher
@@bloxmaster2623 there's a CBRN version of the Sherman which was fitted with an aiming device to remotely steer a Jupiter, Minuteman, Tomahawk or any other airborne munitions into the target. It was originally designed to be used in Iraq but cancelled bcoz international law.
The inventor was Canadian.

There was a Sherman for that, Potter or Hemsley.
Want a new city? There's a sherman for that (litterly, I live in sherman)
At least I'm back
when you grow up, you can get a sherman to bust down his walls, but first you need to buy a sherman that have the hacking equipments to track him down
If you lost an engine or trans, simply undo a few bolts and drop in a new assembly. The boys in the back will then fix whatever went wrong and send it back to the front to be swapped into another broken tank.
Yes. They dropped packs in muddy field assembly points. Very good production quality and maintenance

Hey, it's kinda like a swiss army pocket knife but for tanks.

@@toxic-f14_jollyroger99 you think that's funny? Think about the poor soldiers who literally destroyed a tank only to see another one of it to come back with the exact weapons it needs to destroy that guy. Like when you get killed early in the game and later come back to it with heavier gear.
@@abubakartalukder8980 so funny
Yeah now lets argue why a swiss army knife is not the best knife BECAUSE it's an allrounder. If you know what you need than this take is just bs

True, on that, but it wasn't just the modularity of the tank. It was the cheapest to produce at that time. It was a light tank that got buffed practically

God I wish I had one of these bad Bois,
The US literally made so many of these things they didn't know what to do with all of them and started taking the turrets off and just turning the chassis into troop carriers.
That was Canada and mainly ram tanks
@@demonprinces17 it was a pretty common practice mainly with Canada as you said but not with them alone.
Additionally it was done with a lot of different tanks including the Sherman The Churchill and the M3 in the case of the Russians using lend lease m3s.
Some of them even being sold as tractor
They were used in farming after the war
