If you watch the "World at War" episode about the desert war, you'll hear the stentorian tone of Sir Lawrence Oliver intoning something like: "Rommel might have been tempted to echo the words of the Duke of Wellington. 'They came on in the same old way, and we shot them down in the same old way.' "
The British lost @ 470 tanks in five days during Operation GOODWOOD. This after a very heavy attack by Bomber Command.
Eisenhower is reported to have said, "we can't advance to Germany 1,000 tons of bombs at a time." The British had no idea of lifting and shifting their supporting arms or getting any synergy from combined arms - armor, arty and infantry.
Many U.S. units were little better.
