They will win if they start using T-34s.

True. Step by step they are moving in the right direction. Then nazis and neocons will have no chance.

Any lend-lease Sherman tanks?

In Korea the Shermans easily bested the "legendary" T-34's. The "legendary" Tiger was designed as an armoured anti-tank gun to stop T-34's, which were an okay tank, but probably inferior to the Sherman. In terms of protection and firepower, the Sherman was about equal to the Panzer III and Panzer IV. While not having the armour or firepower of the Tiger, the Tiger was unreliable and slow. It was a defensive weapon, designed to wait for and stop attacking tanks. It was not nearly as effective on offense. The Russians actually were dragging out some museum pieces, but I thought they were decoys, intended to draw fire from Javelins, which are more valuable than a decoy tank.

That didn’t take long. I thought of the same thing when I first read the headline, but just knew someone else had the same thought.
