@TheGarand01 Wrong. When hit by a high-velocity 88 or similar round, more often than not, the Sherman would catch fire due to the gasoline and ammunition inside. Once that happened, the hull was scrap metal because it destroyed the temper of the armor for all time.
@WunderDoob Everyone inside being killed wasn't a problem for American WWII tank doctrine, weld up the holes, scrape the old crew off the interior, a new paint job and a new crew, problem solved. When a shell blows the tank in half, now you have a problem.

@Darwinism215
That would depend where it was hit. An 88mm would punch a hole right through the front of a Sherman and kill everyone inside of it.

@WunderDoob like bees that could be easily towed to a repair station and put back into fighting condition in the same day.
