re: How were German armored divisions so much more elite than their US counterparts

The M4 Sherman was a lightweight compared to the Panzer IV

The Panzer IV's base design began production in 1936. It was not a heavy tank. I was upgraded throughout the war, but, never to the level of a heavy tank. History shows that by late 1944 the Panzer IV was obsolete.

The Sherman Easy Eight was probably a better tank than the Panzer IV. It certainly was not a "lightweight" compared to the Panzer IV.
