Logically, The Americans During WW2 Were very Technologically behind. They didn't introduce heavy tanks such as the T-29, The M26 Pershing, M6 Heavy Tank, T-1 Heavy Tank Until the End of the war, So it was hard to judge if they were effective. They did have the most numbers by the end of the war, With a M4-Sherman Being pumped out every 5 Minutes. What's your opinion On The American Tank Vs The German Tanks?
Also, The M26 Was Ranked Above the Tiger 1 Tank But Below The Tiger 2, So The M26 Pershing was capable of taking a beating from the Tiger 1.
