Default Re: Shermans vs T-34s

I was working on some missions - WW3 in Europe, 1948, - and i found that the Sherman V tanks with 75mm gun are as good as Russian T-34/85s.

That's exactly what happened with Korea. The M4A3E8 Shermans with their 76s with HVAP were a match for North Korean T-34/85s, it boiled down to which tank saw the other first winning, and the shermans had better vision for their crew overall..
