M4 Sherman Tank Shows its' Stuff

WWII Re-enactors put a Sherman tank thru its' paces at a Warbird Air Show on May 26, 2006.
Close-up video shows this monster as it takes tight turns at high speed, while the large Ford V8 sounds off as it easily handles the 68,800 pound load.
M4 medium tanks were in service from 1942 to 1945.

Thanks for setting the record straight. Too many negative comments seem to be based on video games--not the facts.

@gxz100 Die Tiger kamen in der Schlacht um Tunesien zum Einsatz, wo sie allen alliierten Panzern weit überlegen waren. Selbst aus geringster Entfernung konnte der M3-Panzer die Tiger-Panzerung nicht durchschlagen. Auch der immer häufiger auftretende M4 Sherman konnte die Panzerung des Tigers von allen Seiten unter normalen Umständen nicht durchschlagen, während die Tiger problemlos die alliierten Panzer auch auf größere Entfernung ausschalten konnten. Im to lazy to translate it do it for urself!

@planeguy52 Exactly. The Shermans crews suffered terribly because of the armored doctrine and logistics scheme established by some idiots who never fought in a war. And they didn't want to listen to those who fought and knew what they were talking about either. The Sherman should've been at least supplemented, from 1943 by the T-20 tanks. But that idiotic doctrine that didn't allow tan vs tank engagements prevented the T20 to be adopted.

@MappyKeyes As we say in us the right tnak for the wrong war we thought we would be comeing up against infantry and light and medium panzer 4,s and 3 tanks but when the tier and panther's where made we made pershing and a t29 and modified sherans into easy 8 tank t14's and jumbos but then the war ended only one of those tanks saw action in ww2 pershing vrs panther pershing won

@SMGJohn That´s not entirely correct! The T-34, apart from its designation, was designed from 1937-1939! First production models were build in 1940 and from 1940 on to 1943 there were several different versions of the T-34/76 with different guns and turrets! The T-34/85 on the other hand was not designed/produced until 1943/44...so the age of the final design in 1944 was at most 4 years old!
