I'm not too sure we ever closed the gap on tanks, though.

Sheer numbers negated the need for a superior tank, by the time it would have been ready in sufficent numbers, the war was all but over.

Different tanks were better or worse depending on the situation as well. Tigers and Panzers had different strengths, as did the American tanks. Earlier American tanks sucked when up against enemy tanks but were very useful for other things.

Well, I guess our primary tank, which we had a lot of, was the Sherman, I believe reliability, and maneuverability were its strengths, while German tanks, the Panther and Tiger, had lots more armor and far superior cannons, one on one, the Shermans were no match, I don't think.

Yeah, I don't think the Germans were able to get over the amount of stuff we were able to throw at them.

I saw in a documentary that the Russian tank, a T-something or other, was also very superior and an unpleasant surprise to the Germans, and based on an American design that our people chose not to use.
