Actually, the M3 Grant performed well in an infantry support role for the British in North Africa. It was better than anything else they had, until they got Shermans in quantity, and the equal of the early Panzers.

They were still being used in the China-Burma area until the end of the war. The Japs had crap for tanks and the Grant was a great infantry support weapon.
