Getting the M36 in the fall of 44, helped even the odds a bit.

That's McConaughey I think...anyhow, this movie looks awesome and I know a lot of people on here dislike Shia but I thigh he has been good in some roles and this one might be a good fit for him

Upset that this is neither Nick Fury and his Howling Commandos nor Jeb Stuart and the Haunted Tank.

I'll just have to imagine a Confederate flag flying over that Sherman Tank.

The Wolverines could penetrate a Tiger, so they helped out a lot.

The advantage with the Sherman was that it was so much quicker than the Tigers. They could flank the Tiger and hit it in the side, where the armor was much thinner. Our philosophy for armored warfare was just so different than Germany's.

Germany just couldn't build enough Tigers. The world might look a lot different today if Rommel had them in 1941, provided he could keep them fueled.

The war was lost when germany lost the skies.

Is the new tank driver the main character from Perks of Being a Wallflower? That guy was made for these submissive, pacifist roles.

Rommel wouldn't have needed them nor would he have wanted them in 1941. The Tiger was more of a defensive weapon and was the perfect weapon for the Germany Army of 1944. In 1941, however, the Germans were using lighter and faster tanks because they were on the offensive.
