The Panther was pretty much a copy of Soviet T-34, but on steroids. I read an account by a British WWII tanker who said they should have just copied the copies ...... Until they came up with the `Firefly' Sherman, shown here: Image and video hosting by TinyPic their Shermans and other tanks were simply outgunned. That's a compliment from the folks who pretty much invented tanks.

I never understood why we never adopted the Firefly. At least it was a fighting chance.
