    I read the americans especially tried to rely on tank destroyers to destroy tanks, I wonder why so many couldn't really see tanks fighting other tanks?
    I think reason is weakness of American and most of British tanks comparing to German ones. Sherman had no chance against Panther on open area. Panther had bigger range, heavier gun, better armour and was was smaller and faster.

    Actually, the Sherman was smaller and faster. Which is why they traveled in "platoons" to outflank them. And the Panther wasn't used to a great extent (or I don't think so, correct me if I'm wrong)

    Still waiting on your reply, btw

    On the contrary, there were about six thousand manufactured.

    About a thousand plus a few hundred of those, and five hundred-odd Tiger II tanks (pretty impressive for a year's production).
