The Japs had there flaming Zeros and we had our flaming Shermans. Nothing noble about either sitution. We were too stubborn to halt production and make a better tank. The Japs had a better plane in the A-7 but refused to cut over.

This M-26 was the best tank on the western front, though it was overdue, not sure if it's a `Super' M26 Pershing photo: M26 Pershing Bovington200659M26Pershing.jpg Wide treads for mobility, high velocity cannon and sloped armor. I saw some photos of one that took out a Tiger V with its auto-level cannon, and it was moving right along when it took the shot.
