Yes. I believe the Sherman had the nickname "Zippo"; it would light every time it was hit.
The term was Ronson Lighter as it "lights every time"

However, I consider the best tank of World War 2 to be the Soviet T-34/85.

That's it! I stand corrected. However, I must defer to others when it comes to "mechanized cavalry". I prefer a real horse and another century.

G series Panther, best medium until nearly the 60's.

Of course, the Sherman was pretty damn mean after you put a 90 on it :)

If I remember correctly, a T-34\41 or 43 was found in a cave in Afghanistan during operations there. Be nice if we kept it as booty!
